    UNCLE NICKI
    Stacie S.

    Cashier was very pleasant and friendly to get our order. It's a small place with not much seating. The sandwiches are GREAT! I got the Uncle Nicki and my husband got the Firebird. He absolutely loved his sandwich as well as mine. We really like that the bread they use is toasted. Great touch to the sandwich. Highly recommend this place for a quick lunch

    The Melrose

    We ordered the Melrose and Howdy and really enjoyed them. The bread was fantastic and not dry at all. The sandwiches were generously sized and filled with tons of veggies. I am definitely going to go back to try some of their cold sandwiches next time.

    I've been to Ghost Sando a few times now and I'm always happy with their sandwiches. Packed full of fresh ingredients and they don't break the bank? What more could a girl want!? I've tried the ~ Melrose - Dutch Crunch, Melrose spread, Black Forest Ham, Oven Roasted Turkey, Bacon, melted White American cheese & slaw. Howdy - Dutch Crunch, mayo, Chicken tossed in sweet BBQ sauce, Bacon and melted Mozzarella topped with lettuce, red onion and dusted with chives. Phoenix - Dutch Crunch, mayo, Chicken tossed in spicy Buffalo Ranch, melted Mozzarella, topped with lettuce and dusted with chives. Terminator - Dutch Crunch, mayo, Black Forest Ham, Bacon, cream cheese, melted Swiss, Sweet Baby Rays BBQ, Tabasco, topped with lettuce and red onion. All delicious and always satisfied with their eats! Their breakfast sandwiches are fire, too, so don't sleep on them~!

    Since we were in the area, we decided to stop here because of the great reviews we've seen. Did not disappoint, will definitely make the drive back again! I got the tuna cold sub 8/10 And what ever sandwich my sister got looked amazing and she rated it a 10/10, so i will be trying that one next time . Friendly staff and clean

    This place is so good! I love their harvest veggie sandwich. I added mayo and some other veggies to mine as well and I changed the cheese to pepper jack it was perfect. My friend got The melrose and he said it was really good too. The only thing I wish is they had different bread options as the Dutch crunch can be a bit much. Other than that very solid sandwich spot

    Leaving this review for my coworker as I'm disgusted by this kitchen. She ordered the Santa Monica Sando (shortie) combo and found a roach in her sandwich. When was the last time there was a health inspection?

    The Melrose
    Julianne L.

    Was craving a sandwich and I was so glad to see this place pop up nearby! I ordered The Melrose from the very friendly man working at the register and it came out pretty quickly. All the ingredients were fresh, the cheese was melty, the amount of sauce was perfect, and the Dutch crunch bread was both soft and crispy. This is a minimalist shop with some tables and chairs, and it seems like many people order takeout. Since this restaurant is on Melrose, I just parked in the neighborhoods.

    Was so excited to hear there's an LA spot offering Dutch Crunch. That's one of my favorite breads for sandwiches. Unfortunately, there was a lack of a crunch in this sandwich. I love the hefty portion of meat and slaw that was in this sandwich but I thought it was a little too acidic for my liking. The staff were welcoming! They were patient as we were deciding what to order. They were also accommodating when we asked if they could cut the sandwich in 3's so we can all share. The store is a bit hard to find but they have a sign posted in front that advertise that they sell sandwiches. There's paid street parking in front and around the store. There's only a few tables inside the shop but it felt comfortable to enjoy a quick lunch.

    The Melrose
    Prisma ..

    Solid sandwich options within the Melrose District. they have premium meats, hot + cold sandwiches and homemade sauces! We ordered their Melrose and the Firebird. Both came packed with ingredients between two Dutch crunch slices of bread. You get both sweet and savory! Ghost Sando offers 3 different sizes for your convenience, ranging anywhere from $11-$18.

    Very Satisfied at Ghost Sando

    This is BY FAR one of my favorite sandwich spots in Los Angeles! Everything about the sandwiches here is absolutely perfect - from the perfectly crunchy dutch bread, to the generous toppings and ingredients in each sandwich that is both filling and yet also not overpowering in any way. It's an unassuming exterior for the most part - but within, the seating is ample for anyone wishing to dine-in. I've also experienced nothing but the BEST service and friendliness on all of my visits to this establishment. They have both hot & cold sandos, although my personal favorite remains their main staple - 'The Melrose'! Delectably delicious with plenty of creaminess, flavor, and texture. Nothing overpowers other ingredients. I love that!! When in the LA area, I highly recommend making a stop at the Ghost Sando Shop!

    I stopped by this week on my lunch break. It was very difficult to locate. The signage wasn't very obvious. I passed right by it. I ordered a club sandwich and a bag of chips. The chips were not it. I wish they carried frito lay options, but that's a personal preference. I had very high hopes for my sandwich. The crunch bread itself is what I was really looking forward to. It was a little underwhelming. My sandwich had tons of lettuce and not enough protein. I had to take some of it out. It tasted like water lol. I did like the avocado spread, that was a nice touch. Maybe it was an off day?

    Victor D.

    I ordered the XL Kickin Chicken. It was a very full sandwich with lots of meat and the chipotle adobo spread was good. The order was made quickly

    Howdy

    It's so fun that most of my friends know how much I've been in love with sandwiches and they keep all those great recos coming my way! Recently my collegue who's also a sandwich fan, recommended me Ghost Sando. It's interestingly felt like confirmation sign given I've had it on my list, just haven't put it on priority list. July 4th it is, my first attempt trying Ghost Sando. It wasn't overly busy around noon, but I could see a ton of people ordered ahead online. The bright turquoise themed spot was like Tiffany's but made it sandwich place LOL. I've been going through people's review on the place, which were pretty diversed in terms of the top reco; some were from the hot selections, some the cold ones. Knowing their menu was pretty rich, it's such blessing that the attendant was super helpful in trying to explain and assisting me making choice. Apparently the difference between hot and cold wasn't the matter of one being toasted and other not (per my guesstimate), but more about the stuffing (protein & cheese) each featured. I went for the 'Howdy', which was served with uber generous amount of chicken breast slices and thick cut bacon. I felt I did get good balance on my veggie doze there looking at the equally thick layer of lettuce it carried. This one came with their Howdy sauce, basically the house's sweet barbeque, along with melted mozzarella cheese. If you're fond of the kind of sandwich with rich toppings and only light touch of sauce, this would definitely be your cup of tea. Overall it was delightful, but if I could I would fancy slightly more cheese there. Size to prize was certainly worthy IMO as their standard Large size was already super filling for me. They did have XL and XXL, which featured even EXTRA HAPPINESS (READ: more meat and cheese). For me the highlight was surprisingly their iconic Toasted Dutch Crunch Roll, YES THEIR BREAD! That golden-brown crust on top was perfectly crispy with hint of sweetness, somehow reminding me of HongKong Bolo Bun (IYKYK!).

They had an air-conditioning unit set up outside and even handed out cold water to people waiting in line. It was such a thoughtful touch and a great example of their customer service. We had a potato knish, matzo ball soup, and a pastrami sandwich combo. Everything was delicious. After trying the pastrami sandwich, I completely understand why it is so famous.

The pastrami is so tender, juicy, and melty, the rye bread is perfectly soft on the inside and satisfyingly crispy on the outside, and the coleslaw and dressing are simple, yet perfect compliments to the meat and bread. This sandwich really is f****** incredible. It was absolutely worth the 40 minute drive. As others note, this is not the best or safest area of LA. But the restaurant itself is clean, classic, inviting, and nostalgic. Shoutout to our server Eve. She was so sweet, genuine, and knowledgeable. Excellent service. But back to the food. A 10/10 sandwich that lives up to the hype. The iconic pastrami sandwich is so iconic for a reason.

Order online and have some jump out of the car to pick up your order. There is no seating inside but maybe a chair or two outside. The neighborhood is a little rough around the edges so you may want to get that food to go. We tried three sandwiches and they were all huge. The crispy chicken caesar wrap is phenomenal and I am not one who usually orders this particular sandwich anywhere. It comes with a creamy sauce that I might have drank directly from the little cup. The wrap is packed full of chicken and it is refreshing and excellent. It doesn't look huge but trust me, the wrap is packed full and you will be plenty satisfied. The Antonia sandwich comes with turkey, cheese, avocado, tomato, and garlic aioli. It isn't all that unique a creation but for what it is, it is very fresh and very good. It came loaded with delicious turkey. The Martha sandwich (chicken salad, apples, fennel, argula, herbs, etc.) is on special right now. Personally, I am not a big chicken salad guy but you get a lot of it and the person in our party who ordered it liked it a lot. We also tried the arancini and they were excellent. You get three arancini balls and fantastic vodka sauce on the side. This is a winner. To be honest, practically the entire menu sounds great to me. They have quite a few locations and I feel like I will be trying them again soon.

If you're visiting the area, I highly recommend making a stop here. My biggest piece of advice is to go early because it gets incredibly busy by lunchtime--and for good reason! Keep in mind they are closed on Monday and Tuesday. While you can order online, I'll always choose to go inside so I can browse everything they have to offer. Their selection of fresh pasta salads is fantastic, and the desserts are always tempting. Whether you're craving lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, a chicken Parmesan sandwich, or one of their many other Italian specialties, you really can't go wrong. Be sure to check out the wine section in the back left of the market. It's extensive and absolutely incredible! This is the kind of place that keeps people coming back year after year, and it's easy to see why. Being Italian American and growing up with an Italian mother who loved feeding everyone, this was one of our favorite places to visit together. Those memories make every trip here even more special. My personal favorite is the Godmother sandwich--hands down one of the best you'll ever have. It's packed with flavor, made with quality ingredients, and it's the sandwich I find myself craving every time I come back. One of the things I love most about this place is the atmosphere. It has an energy that immediately makes you think of family. Everyone is genuinely kind, welcoming, and happy to help, making you feel right at home the moment you walk through the door. It has that warm, old-school Italian family vibe that's becoming harder and harder to find, and it's a big part of what makes this place so special.

At about 10:45am, it was busy but not crazy crowded, so we were seated immediately by a happy, friendly teen who may have been a family member or just someone they've taken under their wing. Either way, the youthful greeting helps establish that family feeling that's always relaxing. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese and sliced sturgeon, which is a serious treat here in Los Angeles, where hardly any place carries sturgeon. The portion was ample, the fish was fresh, moist and tasty, and it made for a very satisfying (and filling) breakfast. It should also be stated that this hard-to-find dish is always somewhat pricey, but at $25, Factor's is practically a bargain, and a full $9 CHEAPER than Art's in Studio City. My wife opted for eggs with baked salmon on the side -- again, fresh and generous, and very tasty. And again, $10 cheaper than at Art's. I mention the prices simply because eating a good deli breakfast has become more of a luxury these days, and finding a place that delivers top-notch food and service with less of a slam to the wallet makes a difference. If you haven't been to Factor's, or haven't been in a while, it's time to discover (or rediscover) a great deli serving great food.
