If at all, do it for the pastrami!!!!!! My gahhhhhh! My mouth is in flavor heaven and so simple but a burst of joy on the palate! I ordered Tony's hot pastrami on sweet French roll. Had it with mayo and spicy mustard and added pickles! When it arrived it was still warm, bread was soft on the inside with a light crunch on the outside. It was packed with flavor and packed with meat! It even had a cheese pull! I was so excited I forgot to take a picture. I ordered through Grubhub and it got here real quick. Next time I'll add some pepperocini or jalapeño for an added kick! read more

Philly cheese Steak... cute cashier!!! On point and some!!!! I always get the PCS with pepper jack cheese and sum jalapeños!!

This place is incredible. It's relatively difficult to find good sandwiches on the west coast and I can't believe I didn't discover this place sooner. The two most important qualities of a sandwich place to me are 1) the care they put into each sandwich and 2) the value. Holy cow do they hit it out of the park on each. On this alone I'd be hooked but they are also just so nice and pleasant to interact with. Screw the hipster places charging $20+ for a bougie organic shee shee sandwich. This place is where it's at. One of the highlights of my week is getting a sandwich from them every Friday. I'm writing this while eating their weekly special. It's so f**king good. I should honestly order more often. Keep up the amazing work guys! You make my day everytime I get a sandwich! read more

I really don't want to post about my good experiences for selfish reasons, with AK Subs from the TooGoodToGo app. But good lawd. I have now been here twice, I'm loving it, and the fact that i'm helping to eliminate food waste is just a bonus. Thanks for being good to me AK! read more

Best food spot I been to in a while. Unique menu with a great selection to choose from. Not only the food is amazing but the service I received was also excellent. Nice friendly and they were the owners which was great treat. The overall ambiance was extremely clean, supplies etc.. filled to the top. Dice Decadence's for the win!!!! read more

Fresh, amazing subs. I had a pastrami and a Philly cheesesteak. So good, we will be back. The owners are awesome and the food is great. 10 out of 10 read more

My favorite place in San Francisco. Their chili on Mondays is to die for. Outstanding sandwiches as well including a massive hot pastrami! My mouth is watering just thinking about what to have for lunch. read more

I ordered the pastrami and Swiss jalapeño lettuce onion mustard toasted on a roll. This was excellent. The competition in SF is insane but AK subs are legit. The large scale order on the app was perfect. Thanks. read more

Went past this spot for years. I recommend that you don't! Now that I work in SOMA, I know what I've been missing by just passing by! Tasty fresh sandwiches, super salads, and crispy french fries! Vegan and veggie options in addition to the meats. Well-priced, extraordinary customer service and super yummy lunch. Order ahead online or by phone and you'll soon be greeted by name when you drop-in to pick-up your order. read more

Always been curious about this sandwich shack by the highway, since it looked both shady and intriguing at the same time (...like so much of SoMa). Turns out to be a magnet for people who want an indulgently meaty lunch. So filling and so delicious! Tony's Hot Pastrami: Totally worth the spike in cholesterol and blood pressure! I'm big on texture so I fell in love with their technique. Ribbon thin slices of pastrami that are partially crisped on the griddle. It's bacon-esqe and so yummy. The generous gooey cheese on top adds some nice moisture. And love the seeded roll that was toasted perfectly so it also had some chewy bread parts underneath. Only complaint would be that they could add more mayo and mustard by default... but easy enough to remedy yourself. read more

Five stars to both the food and Daniel! I stoped by after the hours, starved. Daniel was cleaning up and graciously agreed to make me a sandwich. I ordered a tuna melt and a Rueben. The tuna melt sandwich was sumptuous and filling! The French roll was perfectly toasted with a crispy buttery outside and chewy inside. The tuna salad was well balanced texture and flavor between fish, fat (mayo), and refreshing celery & tomatoes. The pepper and mustard balances out the grease. With each bite melting in my mouth, the sandwich took me to heaven, a long day works of headache was gone! read more

Very tasty sandwiches! We got the Ruben and the Philly cheese. Out of the two, I preferred the flavor of the Ruben. The Ruben was also more substantial when it comes to the content of meat in the sandwich. The staff is also very friendly and the sandwiches were ready very fast. read more

Sandwiches are so delicious! Even if you can't get to your sub right away, the bread and meat are still good! I usually get the Chris' combo- their bread is swept with oil and vinegar and there's this oily goodness spread that they put on it as well. SO divine. They're generous with the meat, every bite will have it! Their potato salad is also very good! Thick Slices of potatoes, just the right flavor- not too much mustard which I like, kinda sweet.. lots of parsley, ground pepper, and hard boiled eggs. Soups changes daily. Tastes fresh and is always some type of cream based soup. Definitely a must try if you work in the area or looking for a quick bite to eat for lunch. read more

A nice spot to grab a solid sandwich for lunch. I highly recommend getting the Spiro's Special or Marybeth's Meatballs if you stop by

If you're like me and you've been in search of a great pastrami sandwich, let me bring your search to an end: AK Subs. Thanks to Yelp reviews I found this place just recently; they've been about around for 25 years. When you eat one of their pastrami sandwiches, you'll know why they have lasted so long. Not only is the price right, but the quality and tenderness of the pastrami is excellent. And they don't hold back on the amount of pastrami. Of course, there is the necessary cheese as well as a nicely toasted fresh bun. They have a number of bread selections for you to choose from, too. They do have a number of other interesting sandwiches on their menu, but for me it will be difficult to break away from that pastrami. All I can say, if you've missed your pastrami, this is the place. read more

AK subs is a go to for me. I highly recommend the seeded French roll as well as Tony's hot pastrami sandwich. Made fresh and loaded with pastrami, it really hits the spots and satisfies cravings for meaty umami. The seeded French roll I'm all for as well - it adds a layer of fragrance with a variety of different seeds such as sesame and poppy seeds. The fries are also crunchy and thick cut. These subs are made to fill! I am very satisfied with the portion size, and for days I want to eat less, could even split it into two small meals. read more

The Food and the level of customer service was over the top. I had the phill cheesesteak.

Intense blue building that I've passed time after time exiting the freeway. Although at a janky location, the inside is bright and spacious. I was surprised by the consistently long line throughout lunch time. Die's Decadence: Warm turkey with Swiss cheese, avocado, mushroom, sprout, lettuce, tomato and bell peppers served on my choice of three-seed roll. Lots of veggie and a good amount of turkey. The roll was absolutely delicious. Supreme crunchiness and toasty flavor from the seeds. Each ingredient was present in every bite. Indulgent yet without an ounce of guilt. My test of a sandwich is in the ability to hold its shape and texture after a few hours. I usually save half of my sandwich for later, so it's important that it still tastes good. The Die's Decadence surpassed the test. I believe the three-seed roll played in huge part in this. After 5 hours, the veggies sweated a bit and no longer warm. But the roll was still ever so crunchy. I was truly amazed. Best leftover sandwich ever! =D read more

Make no mistake. AK Subs is a manly man's place with man-sized sandwiches. No femmie quiches here. Forget Miss Manners. Only grunts will do. I didn't wear my tool belt and hard-hat when I came in earlier this week, but they decided to serve me anyway because I could demonstrate a pit pump. Located on one of the city's most pedestrian-unfriendly corners, it's a bigger place than you'd think. Several tables actually, and they even have a little parking lot but only if you come up on Harrison. 8th and Harrison is where everybody is gunning to get on the bridge or anxious to get off. You put your dispensable life in your own hands when you try crossing around here. But who cares? Lots of subs and grilled sammies, nothing more than $5.50. It's a deal. I go for the $4.15 T.B.'s B.L.T. (pictured), and it's a damn hearty sandwich for the money. I like the equally cheap Poor Sub, which has slices of mortadella, bologna, salami and American cheese on a sourdough roll with lettuce and tomatoes. Geez, I have to come back for Omar's 3-Egg Omelette for just $2.53. So don't let me forget my wife-beater shirt, dude...and oh, I need to belch next time. SAMMIES - 4 stars...good and such a deal for the price AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...better than you'd think at this corner SERVICE - 3 stars...they do it without fuss TOTAL - 4 stars...great deals for breakfast and lunch for the working guys...and gals, I guess read more

I have to start by saying it was the best pastrami sandwich I have ever had! It's so thinly sliced and none of it was chewy. None of that bubble gum, it was like high-end sushi melt in your mouth. Not only that ,door dash spends hours looking for a driver and keeps saying searching for a new driver. The owner drives me my Sandwhich goes out of his way so I can have my dinner. I think that says something about how they care for their customers. I'll definitely be back to try more stuff. read more

The best ever! My personal favorites are the pastrami sandwich with cheese and Dee's Decadent. I also order the breakfast sandwich (sourdough sliced bread, cheddar is better, two eggs and thick cut bacon. Amazing staff, I always order ahead so I just show up and pay. They are the best!!! read more

For American comfort food on the quick, this is the place. A great breakfast, sandwich and burger place, also great soups (each day a preset soup so you can look forward to that special day for your soup!) and housemade smoothies, a special treat. Been coming here for years, and still enjoy coming by for my "tres quesos" hot sandwich - most tasty! If you're in the area, give them a try and say "hi" to Terri and Chris - tell them "tres quesos" sent you! read more

We lived in the apartment building right next to AK subs, and this was definitely my go to spot. Tony's pastrami was the best thing in the menu, and would get it every single time read more

Reliably the best, quick, tasty sandwich in SOMA! We love the owners who work so tirelessly for the customers. I get the Die's Decadence on wheat once a week and it is always bursting to the brim with meat, avocado, and good veggies. I sometimes get a mocha and am always satisfied. Extra easy online ordering through their website, but I wish you could order coffee on there, though. read more

Having passed by AK subs countless times while riding the 47 and seeing the reviews and pictures of their fantastic looking sandwiches, I decided to make this my first stop on a week dedicated to finding great sandwiches in SF. I kept it simple on this visit and went with the popular Tony's pastrami sandwich which is nothing more than a toasted roll, some mustard and what I can only describe as a mountain of pastrami. This sandwich is literally bigger than your face. The meat here is the star of the show and is almost bacon-like in texture at some points. Don't come here expecting the new york deli style with thick cuts because this is the exact opposite of that and is sliced very thin. Despite that, it is very moist and tender on the inside while the edges of the strips contrast nicely with the rest because they are crisp, thin and peppery. I devoured this sandwich and loved every bit of it. Hopefully I will be able to try the meatball sandwich at some point as well as some of their other items but I don't know if I will ever be able to resist getting this sandwich when I come here. Overall, AK subs delivered an amazing sandwich at a good price in a great location. For a mountain of pastrami that comes out steaming hot and has tons of flavor, this is "as good as it gets." read more

Pastrami! Great place to get a good sandwich for lunch that fits quite well into my hole in the wall list. It gets crowded but the service is quick and the staff are both helpful and friendly to everyone. The bread was toasted just right and the pastrami gives me naughty thoughts that I'm not going into detail with on Yelp. There were quite a few options for both the meat lovers and vegetarians alike. I'm saving the fifth star for when I try their griddle items but for the sandwich this is worth the trip. read more

Sandwiches in the city can be hit or miss, AK subs hits hard ever time. People are picky, people have their own ideas about what should be or shouldn't be included between two pieces of bread. I'm always amazed that 2 establishments can take the same simple ingredients and create two entirely different sandwiches. One just okay while the other one is amazing. Freshness and love, those are the key to any good sandwich. those are 2 things you can count on at AK. The menu has a wide in range. When in doubt just order something off the menu, stock! Don't forget to check out the secret menu. This place has been here for a a long time and it's solid. It's not a fad, don't trust the hype and don't fall for that crap. Ak has been here as long as I can remember. I always order straight off the classic menu, everything on it. I can't ever remember being disappointed by that. Tony's Pastrami and the Chris combo are my favorites, lots of flavor and always fresh. read more

Common here due to lazy coworkers not wanting to go too far. Ordered the fish & chips and before and as others had said overly salted. Last time I ordered the melt with mushrooms and it looked like a homeless person made it. Today I got the BBQ Beef with extras and again a soggy sandwich. After reading good reviews disappointed. Then I realized most of the reviews has almost the say words, meaning written by the same person. read more

"This sh!t is pastrami... P-A-S-T-R-A-M-I !!!" Channeling Gwen for a moment before devouring my sandwich. Yes, that song does encapsulate the essence of a hot pastrami sandwich at AK Subs or a.k.a. Tony's Hot Mea... Pastrami. It's so charming and simple, no lettuce, no tomatoes, no onions... just mustard and mayo and a grip of meat topped with melted swiss stuffed between your carb of choice.

Great hot pastrami sandwich on rye. Other sandwiches would be better with a better bread roll.

Ordered the Wily's Philly's sandwich and it was soft, buttery, and satisfied my cravings without being overwhelming. The service was great and I hope to stop by again soon to try their other items. Their outdoor seating area was nice as well! read more

Omelette was ok if you start to build it up how you want the price's raises significantly

I'm back in the hood (SOMA) and I'm so glad AK Subs is still here! They make great sandwiches and have been consistently good throughout the years. The owners are charming and they run a pretty tight ship. They crank out those sandos in a timely manner, no long waits, no BS it's still the best sandwich spot this part of town. Bread is not something I eat often and when I do I it's usually Vietnamese and AK Subs. read more

I've only had the pastrami (it was probably the best one I've ever had) and definitely plan to come back and try more.

i found this place while staying in a hotel nearby, and they're definitely worth it. i've ordered both the pastrami and tuna melt, and both were delicious. While their bread is good, both sandwiches featured the meat inside, which seems to be a rare occurrence nowadays. read more

Oooh weee! Don't get me started about how good this place is! I've been going here for 15 years and year after year they've got the best pastrami sandwiches!! If you want a biggin followed by a nap get it on the French roll, I prefer it on rye with a side of pickles and their fries are great also. They also have a straight fire meatball sub! But the pastrami is my favorite. They are only open during the week, though I wish they were open on weekends so I could enjoy their breakfast sandwich while nursing my hangover. This place is a neighborhood staple and they're awesome! Gone get you some! read more
