We stopped by Grand Central Market in Downtown Los Angeles. This place is very busy. I suggest parking in the garage next door although it can get full on high volume times like lunch hour and weekends. We walked the entire market and decided on getting sandwiches at Ghost Sando Shop. I ordered the Reuben's Cousin and my daughters ordered the Veg Out. Both were very tasty and flavorful. The staff is friendly and got our orders to us in a timely manner. The market place is fully packed and finding tables to sit can be challenging. Luckily we went to the downstairs area and made friends with one of the vendors. She offered us a long table on the side of the wall for us to eat our lunch. Worked out because it was also air conditioned down there. We enjoyed out sandwiches there.

Got a shorty and it hit the spot ! Great service even in the middle of a lunch rush. Food tastes great some friends enjoyed their sandwiches too! Would definitely recommend

B.L.A.S.T with chicken and onions

It's a hot day and I was craving a meaty sandwich, and this place satisfied that craving. I ordered the BLAST with Chicken and Red Onions with the sauce on the side. The bread.... the Fillings.... all hit and it was delicious! I'm definitely coming back here again and ordering the same sandwich. Thank you Ghost Sando Shop!

tl;dr the Dutch crunch rolls highlight an otherwise standard lineup of hearty deli sandwiches The Los Angeles sandwich scene ranges from terrific tortas to farmer's market-on-a-bun, but few spots have embraced the Bay Area's beloved Dutch crunch roll. These slightly sweet hoagie rolls are coated with rice flour, creating an addictively crunchy, tortoise-shell top. While hard to find, Dutch crunch rolls are the specialty at Ghost Sando Shop. This small sandwich chain (from the mind of NorCal native and former Chipotle exec Benjamin Sales) debuted in the Fairfax District, and it has expanded to Orange County and the Valley. Every sandwich at Ghost Sando sports a Dutch crunch roll, and the lineup has achieved TikTok fame. Briefly, Grand Central Market is a semi-outdoor industrial market turned upscale food court. The sky-high walls are painted white, and the concrete floors are slickly polished. Even during the day, only a few rays of sunshine enter through the skylight roof, leaving each vendor's neon sign to pop. During busy hours, expect foot traffic shoulder-to-shoulder through the narrow aisleways. Here, Ghost Sando has a central stall near the wide stairwell. You can't miss the bright teal paint or custom green neon sign. The walls are tastefully decked with hexagon tile and wooden slats. The sandwich production line is front and center, and staff members buzz around even well after the weekday lunch rush. Stools are pressed up against the long stainless steel bar counter, guaranteeing a seat for customers. My partner and I visited Ghost Sando for a weekday lunch, but our food was prepared relatively quickly. Immediately, I was shocked by the sheer density of the sandwiches. Rolled into compact cylinders, the weight could have fooled me into thinking they were bricks. The "Large" size was plenty for even a hefty appetite, but I can't imagine how anyone could tackle the double-topping "XX Large" portions. I also enjoyed the unique Dutch crunch loaf -- consider holding your sandwich upside-down to fully appreciate the crispy shell. Otherwise, the sandwiches were more standard than spectacular. The cold cuts are more like grocery store variety than premium deli, and the veggies are only a step above Subway. I preferred the mildly spicy Firebird to the warm-ish Pastrami Mami, but neither blew my socks off. The service is mostly disengaged, and the sandwiches run from $15 each. Reasonably, a sandwich can be extended across 2 meals. The sandos are mostly standard, but the Dutch crunch rolls are mildly addictive. While Ghost Sando is not a reason alone to pay GCM a visit, it is a filling and reliable bet for routine DTLA lunch.

Welcome to GHOST sando shop. #gcm

Ghost Sando Shop is a delectable sandwich shop in Grand Centra Market, DTLA. They have a plethora of food items on their menu. I had a regular Tornado sandwich which is composed of crispy bbq chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and special sauce. I requested to exclude bacon. The sandwich was surprisingly tasty and flavorful. I rarely eat sandwich as my lunch but I want to be adventurous today. Staff were competent and professional. Price was surprisingly modest. Seats are available. Overall, I had a good sandwich. I'd recommend you visit.

A sandwich shop located in the grand central market. They seemed to have a lot of variety of sandwiches. I got a breakfast one called the wrong side of the bed. It comes with pastrami, tomato paste, hash brown, and a sunny side up egg. I got their shortie size but it was still HUGE! I fear what their other sizes will be lol I also got their strawberry juice it was pretty yummy. They offer refills as well. The guy at the counter was super nice and offered to cut my sammy when he saw my eyes widen to see how big it was. It really helped me eat clean! Wish them the best!

I ordered the pastrami mami. I waited a few min to order since they seem busy. Ingredients were placed on the shelves. Chairs are placed parallel to the stainless steel countertop. Mexican music plays from the speaker. It costs $14 for shortie size sandwich which is 6 inches if I had to guess. The logo of the sandwich shop is near the top of the restaurant. Order will take 10 or so minutes. It took 8 minutes which was fast. I think online orders took place in the time I waited and 2 groups ordered sandwiches ahead of me. I asked the cashier for my receipt since I wasn't sure if I could get it even though it faced me. Tons of customers didn't get their receipts either. I love how the bread was toasty. Lots of lettuce and pepperoncini which made it crunchy. Hardly tasted the bacon but I didn't mind. I loved that pastrami was at the forefront.

The Melrose
Anthony Z.

Came during the lunch rush on a Tuesday and man, GCM was packed! I opted for this store since the line was moving pretty fast in comparison, and sandwiches do not take long to make vs other places. Took about 10 minutes from the time of ordering to get my sandwich. I ordered the Melrose in a medium. I like how they give you a lot of meat, and how the sauces and seasonings don't feel overpowering. A medium is perfect for someone on their lunch, but might be a little big if you have even a slightly smaller appetite. The bacon could've been more crispy, but overall the sandwich lived up to the expectations. The bread was a little flat and not as crunchy/flavorful as I would've liked. I also wished they had more bread options other than dutch crunch, but maybe that's a possibility in the future. Although the shop's lines and employees may seem busy, they pump out food quickly at an affordable price that's guaranteed to fill you up. Definitely recommend for any tourist/local!

Firebird
Justin A.

Been meaning to try ghost sando for awhile and finally got to check it off my list. We ordered the Melrose, which comes stacked with ham, turkey, and bacon, and it's such filling sandwich. We also tried the firebird, which comes with pastrami turkey, chipotle mayo and all the fixings. This one was my favorite. The meat ratio is great here. They're known for their Dutch crunch bread, which tastes amazing. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and it holds everything together perfectly. Service was quick and efficient, especially considering how busy GCM gets. I can definitely see why people call this one of the best sandwich spots in LA. Left very full and already mentally bookmarking it for my next sandwich craving.

Inside of GCM, the bread here is absolutely incredible, there really isn't a sandwich I've had that hasn't been good, and I'm not sure if it's the bread that makes it or what but definitely try this spot.

We've been to the Burbank location and loved it. So I was very pleased to discover that ghost sando shop is in the Grand Central market. Through sandwiches are very good. Very beefy and definitely shareable.

Destiny C.

I ordered the club, regular size. The service was quick, which I appreciated. The sandwich was the perfect size and filling. The sandwich was good, but I wasn't blown away. I'd be interested in trying some of their other options.

Kickin chicken
Mike Y.

I recently tried the spicy chicken sandwich at Ghost sando and it was a decent experience overall. The sandwich itself was fine - nicely crispy on chicken with Dutch crunch bread on the outside, which I appreciated. Interestingly, they also included ham on the other side of the sandwich. Less chicken though The regular size wasn't quite enough to satisfy a full craving - it felt more like a good snack-sized bite rather than a complete meal. If you're looking for something substantial, you might want to consider ordering additional items or getting the 2 larger sizes. The service was efficient, with quick ordering at the counter. The staff seemed to keep things moving smoothly. Would I go back? Yes, I'd be interested in trying different items on their menu to get a better sense of what they offer. While the spicy chicken sandwich didn't completely blow me away, it was solid enough to warrant another visit to explore their other options. Price $12 for regular size.

(Google "Langer's Deli parking lot" and map it there.) Mind you, the neighborhood is a bit sketchy, so parking in the lot that has an attendant felt like a safer choice. We waited in line outside while our 4th was still on their way, which really wasn't much of a line at all. People/full groups that came after us were seated promptly. While we waited, there was air conditioning and they offered us mini water bottles! Already making it such a pleasant visit before even walking into the restaurant! Once we were seated, our server was happy to give us recommendations as well as tell us about their most popular menu item, #19. We asked about other options on the menu and he was honest that he wouldn't feel right if he let us order the less popular choices, which we greatly appreciated! I don't feel like I need to review this place because what everyone else is saying is true! As for me, I'm not huge fan of coleslaw but the texture against the soft warm rye bread and tender pastrami was delicious! As a pickle lover, the pickle was crisp! There's nothing bad to say about this place. Customer service was exceptional, parking was easy, food was delicious. The only "bad" things about this place are the prices and how extensive the menu is, but no real reasons to not be back!

The food is top notch high quality ingredients. We tried the pastrami sandwich variations, potatoe salad, pickles, and matzah ball soup. All were amazing. The pickles are not that vinegary and light on the salt. The potatoe salad was a bit sweet and we added tobasco. Sandwiches - wow the bread is so fresh! I didn't think of adding mustard until the end. It was good as is. I only had pastrami and rye. My date has his grilled w cheese and sourkraut. Matzo ball soup - you have to try it ! It was delicious. Loved the bagel chip pairing . It was all chased down with refills that our server Jimmy was very attentive to refilling. Jimmy was a great server very appreciative of his hard work! Miss this kind of dining out. The decor is beautiful a true La history gem. We loved the pastries we bought on our way out.

Both my husband and I will share them both and we probably won't be able to finish them because even though they're small, they are jampacked with flavor, protein, and delicious deliciousness!

What looks like an intimidating ordering situations was actually really easy. I think I was expecting a NYC style service counter where you get yelled at if you don't know exactly what you want, but the staff was so nice and helpful. My wife and I split the whole turkey sub with mild peppers and American cheese, no pickles. The bread was great--a little on the crusty side, but otherwise very flavorful. All of the veggies and meat were very fresh, and the experience was cool over all. You grab a ticket at the counter, wait for them to call your number, then you order and step back while they make yours and a handful of others at the same time. I grabbed some chips and drinks while I waited, which only took 5 minutes or so, then paid at the front (cash or debit only) and enjoyed our lunch at one of the outdoor tables. I'll definitely be back to try the meatball sub, which I eyed somebody else eating and immediately wanted a taste. I'll probably grab a turkey sub, too, while I'm at it.
