This little mom-and-pop sandwich shop is such a hidden gem. It's super unassuming from the outside, and it seems like most people call ahead since it's more of a takeout spot. It absolutely delivered and I'll tell you why. I had been craving a really good egg salad sandwich, you know the egg salad sandwiches from Korea or Japan, and this completely hit the spot! For $10, I got the large, and they did NOT skimp. Plenty of egg salad, fresh lettuce and tomato, and everything was perfectly seasoned. You can tell it's made with care. I'm honestly in love. Definitely coming back whenever the craving hits again! Also the lady behind the counter, who was very kind, was manning the phones and preparing the orders. read more

Ambro's Subs is the perfect spot for your sandwich cravings . We picked up a salami and cheese, an egg salad , and a pastrami and cheese sandwich. All of them were delicious-the taste, texture, and freshness of the subs are perfect . We also got a cheese burger, it tasted like a burger from my childhood. The restaurant is nostolgic and comfy , we came in on a rainy day and read some National Geographic magazines while we waited, it's cute and cozy the owner is nice . I can't wait to try everything on the menu. Price was good too! read more

When I first started working in San Dimas, this was the first restaurant recommend to me for lunch. It is my normal go to when I don't know what to eat for lunch. I call in my order and in less than five minutes they were ready. My only downer is that the online hours don't match the hours on the door - I had hyped it up to my hubby for picnic at the Hollywood Bowl we were on our way to and we pulled up and they were closed already. We had to quickly pivot. I always get the "tuna diet" - it's a tuna sandwich with avocado and sprouts. It's awesome. read more

Great service ! Sandwiches are always fresh and Never disappoint. They even got the yellow hot chili peppers this is My go to spot for sandwiches in La Verne for sure - don't worry about short lunches either they're quick! read more

Couldn't even try their sandwiches because they were closed on a Saturday during their 'open' hours posted on their door and website. You might want to triple check they're open before heading here... read more

The Danica my wife and I had was so good, the bread was so fresh, the service was right on point, and the shop was small but what a perfect place to have some lunch.. it was quick service read more

I've lived next to this place for many years and never thought to try it out. I'm glad I did because it's really fresh tasting and a perfect summer sandwich. read more

I will NEVER step foot in here again! Been coming for over 30 years. Shame on this owner, feels like a new owner very rude unwilling to make sandwiches for my family of four and I. She kept saying no no she did not even want to hear what I was asking for. Very rude and horrible Customer service we took our business somewhere else. read more

This place is really good! We tried the turkey and cheese and meatball and cheese. The bread was soft, the meat quality was fresh. The service was quick and the quality was good. I would definitely go there again if I was in the area. read more

Stopped in due to curiosity since I drive by this shop all the time. Decided to try the egg salad, I ordered a large and within a couple minutes my order was ready. Nice like shop, clean. Friendliness could be worked on, but nevertheless I have no complaints, just kudos for quickness and no waiting. As I left there were several people on their way in so maybe next time there might be a wait. Sandwich was good, egg salad was fresh! read more

I love their cold sandwiches. Reasonable prices. Service is super fast even when they're busy. Hard working people. Very comfortable little place especially for San Dimas locals read more

I went to one of the nearby stores and I decided to bring home sandwiches and fries for my family. I felt like the cashier was shy, but nice. Very normal and easy transaction, I verified what was on the sandwiches, asked to leave a couple items off for my partner's sando, paid, got food, left. My sandwich was good and gone too quickly. The bread was soft, fresh ingredients, condiments not too overpowering. I'd come back here for sure. read more

Was in the mood for a good sandwich and not in the mood mood for the regular places JM JJ or SW looked in yelp and found this lil hole in the hole good tasting sandwich good french fries for the price would go again read more

I went here for lunch and got a meatball, sausage and cheese Sandwich. They are a bit on the pricier side, but the food was very good! I asked if they put spinach and olives on the sandwiches, they said they don't have it. So if you've thinking they might be like subway, they aren't, but that's okay! Overall, the sandwich was really really good and I'll definitely be back! read more

I was in a hurry to grab a quick bite, and being at the dog groomer next door did not want to make another stop, so I figured I would try this place. It was just meh! Nothing special, very simple turkey, RB and ham. A sandwich at home would have been better; however w not enough time to go home, I'll be fair and say it was a low 3. Not sure how it has a 4 star but everyone's preference is subjective. For me, it was a one and done. read more

Great sandwiches, fast service, and local shop. My go to is always the Ambro's California with everything. Love the fine diced lettuce, just the right amount of avocado. This place cranks the sandwich out! I've never seen a place crank the sandwich out so quick. It's only a buck more for a large. Fresh bread - not sure it's baked here but tasted fresh. Located on the corner of Arrow Highway and San Dimas Ave. They are in a strip mall with a reasonable amount of parking . read more

I am writing this on behalf of my hubby. He swears that the sandwiches are good and he can't complain about their sandwiches. Me on the other half I am like meh. I have had better. His complaints is their hours. Showed up at 5:20 pm and they were closed. No sign on door that said "closing early". Business hours say closed at 6 pm. The Asian lady looked at him like she didn't care. read more

The beautiful lady who runs the show alone could get 5 stars for personality, respect, sweetness.. even though I came half an hour before close, (google maps had it wrong or I wouldn't of shown up) she probably been here since opening and still has the positivity gleaming off her. The ambiance is perfect for the type of shop it is, total 90s deli where you seem to always be the only customer.. obviously the food is ...can't go wrong with a sandwich. Makes me wonder why I'm always complaining for absolutely nothing, been years since I've been here, well, started new job today & it's back in the area! See you around, lady! read more

If you want something different than a Subway or Jimmy John's even different than Jersey Mike, I highly recommend this place. It's a small family owned sandwich place with amazing sandwichs. Bread is never stale, and vegetables are fresh. I always get the "Ambros California" but have also had other sandwiches. But I always go back to California. Very nice people who make it a point to remember your name and your order. And French fries are cooked to order . read more

Maybe I love this place for the nostalgia of it. I used to come here when I'd visit downtown San Dimas, and Ambro's was a weekly staple for me during the initial part of the pandemic. Just know that you will likely be served by a very matter-of-fact, efficient woman. You won't necessarily get a huge sandwich stuffed full of ingredients but you will get a sensible portion and you'll pay a rather sensible price for it and it will be pretty tasty. Our favorites have been the diet (regular or tuna), the steak and cheese, and the BLT. read more

I think this has been one of if not my favorite sandwich spot for lunch. I always order the steak cheese and avocado and it always taste so good. I have seen the bread rolls get smaller over time but that still doesn't take away from how good they are. read more

Very disappointed after giving this place a good review last week I came in again because it was good I made a phone order and asked my ambros sandwich with no sauces . I didn't notice it had mustard until I was back and work . Now this is the reason why I was disappointed . I drove back it's only 5 mins away and when I got to ambros I told them I asked for no sauces . They swapped it out but they only swapped out the bread and not the complete Sandwich. They literally took the lettuce , ham and roast beef with mustard still on it and put into a new bread . I understand its a small business and they try to keep it cost efficient but what if I was allergic to mustard what "IF" This is not acceptable. I will bring it to owners attention next time I go to this place again . I attached some photos where you can see their still mustard on my sandwich read more

I was working in the area and was looking for a sandwich shop and found this place. The place is very clean but not super attractive, but don't let that stop you from stopping by. The bread was fresh and the sandwich was pretty good. They also serve rice bowls with different meats. Service was quick as well. If you're looking for a good sandwich shop in recommend this spot. read more

California is the best Turkey avocado, bacon. Miss this! Chips and a drink. We're set! read more

I've been coming here for a few years and have only bought the sandwiches. I have seen other people leave with Teriyaki Bowls and burgers so I will assume they are good too. Though lately the sandwiches seem a little skimpier then they were previously. Other reviews make reference to rudeness and I definitely understand why. I have never seen the women behind the counter ever smile or say hello, goodbye or even a thank you. In fact even when ordering on the phone the woman seems cold and hangs up before I can even give my name. The reason for the three star review is I still like the food but because the woman behind the counter seems miserable and zombie like I have to deduct one star. Otherwise I believe this business to be a solid four star or four and a half. read more

Hadn't been here in a while, just as great as I remembered. Great sandwich. I be back again soon.

My daughter and I were craving a good sandwich and were sick of the "normal" ones. I always prefer to support small business over chain stores and when I saw the reviews for Ambro's Subs, we decided to try it out. It was DELICIOUS! Fresh ingredients, great service and a good sandwich selection. Highly recommend you try out this hidden little gem in San Dimas! You can thank me later :) read more

Very good sandwiches. It's a nice quaint place for lunch. I highly recommend the monster sub.

Good local spot in San Dimas for sandwiches. They also sell some other quick lunch items. Bread tasted fresh. The turkey sandwich I ordered was ready in less than 5 minutes. Customer service wasn't too friendly but at least it was quick. Prices were fair. Not many drink selections. Free parking in a medium-sized strip mall lot. read more

Great place to get sandwiches and other type of food. Staff was friendly and we're taking safety precautions. It is important to support your local business in these hard times. Had the meatball and sausage sandwich forgot to take a quick pick before eating. read more

Great local sub spot. Subs are tastey and the service is great. Stop by if in the area.

Great tasting sandwich (turkey on frenchroll), super fast. The sandwich was the perfect size for me (small) others might think it is small but im not looking a giant sloppy sandwich. The lady's not super friendly, but I'd rather have good tasting, fast made food then a smile any day. I'd recommend this place to anyone who likes no fuss at lunch. read more

Yum!!! Just stopped by for the first time tonight. Ordered an All-Cheese and a Nervous Wreck. Hubster and I each ate a half of each sandwich. Both were very very good! The lettuce is the finely shredded style which helps the vinaigrette adhere more evenly throughout the sandwich. Bread was soft and fresh. Can't wait to return and try a couple more! read more

I've heard great things about this sandwich shop, end it was pretty yummy. The two women working there were very quick to get my sandwich out and ready. Which is perfect because I only had a 45 minute lunch. One thing that I was dissatisfied about was how small the actual sandwich bread was. I got the larger one of the two options and it still felt pretty small I could not have imagined getting the littler one. Overall decent sandwich ready for a quick bite. read more

Everything fresh= good subs It's impossible to fail subs if everything is fresh. Three ladies work in the kitchen.....I really like my subs carefully made by female hands,... I like my order of Ambro's famous, it tastes very light. I now remember why I don't like Subways because it tastes too heavy. (but if you are like my Mexican friend who even adds soy sauce to his fried rice...you probably won't like this place) read more

Been coming here for years because it's near my office in San Dimas and a nice alternative to Subway. Sure, the prices might seem a little high and the customer service leaves a little to be desired, but I still go here every so often. I usually get a small pastrami and cheese, which is delicious but could definitely use more mustard and pickles (I just add mustard back at the office). And the small (called "regular") seems especially small because they slice it in half, making it look even smaller. But it is quite tasty, and this is really the only place near enough to my work where I can pick up a pastrami sandwich. Today I opted for a tuna sandwich on wheat because I had been craving one. Theirs is really good! They pack on a lot of tuna salad, along with lettuce and tomato (I omitted on mine). The tuna is tasty, not too "fishy". They mix it with mayo, relish and a tiny bit of chopped egg. Mmm! I think that egg is what must make it taste so good. The regular size is very filling and, with a bag of chips, cost me $6.10 total. Definitely less than I'd have paid at Subway and this is much better. Also, they do have good fries! read more
