    First time stopping at Ike's and it did not disappoint. Probably the BEST customer service I've received in the area. Everyone behind the counter was so warm, welcoming and friendly. Fast service as well. Lots of sandwiches to choose from! Also lots of yummy chipppy options too. My sandwich was PACKED and sooooo tasty. Fresh, made to order sandwiches! They also have a shared parking lot, which was really nice consider the busy street location of this place. Sooo glad I found Ike's and will definitely be back to try other menu items.

    I love their sandwiches but had never been to this location (didn't even know it was here :-) We got their vegan marinara meatball sandwich with the works. You can't go wrong here--everything they do is bomb. This one I especially love because I dare you to tell the difference between meat meatballs and these vegan beauties, especially mothered in marinara sauce. But fyi: this time, it wasn't as smothered in the tomato sauce, as in their Burlingame and SF locations. Maybe this is just this location, or this specific sandwich maker idiosyncrasy ... not sure. But next timer, we'll tell them to not skimp on the sauce. It was awesome, especially with the funky fusion potato chips which are for some reason so freaking hard to come bay. This is a strictly take out place. There's acouple of little tables where, if you really can't take it away, you could sit, but don't count on it. Service was efficient. I was excited about trying their minestrone soup, which they were out of, so not sure if they simply didn't make it or if they ran out. Prices are fair, especially for the quality and size of their sandwiches.

    Sandwich taste great but the amount meat in the sandwich is lacking is an understatement. Photo below for proof. Severely disappointed since Ike's was one of my favorite sandwich places and dependable.

    Scoring System: 0-3 Food Quality = 3 0-3 Service = 3 0-3 Ambience = 2 0-3 Cleanliness = N/A 0-3 Likelihood I'll Return = 3 Total divided by 3 = Star rating 11/3 = 3.67 / 4 Ike's has great sandwiches for both vegetarians and omnivores alike. They either discontinued the Carmel apple lollipops or forgot them in both our orders.

    Paul Rubens on Dutch crunch... only half... ate the other half too fast.

    Holy cow. Can't remember the last time a sandwich tasted sooo good. I got the Paul Rubens on Dutch crunch. Best Dutch crunch I've ever had. Perfect to get that crunch and sweetness but also be able to bite through. Holy cow... why have I not been eating here weekly??

    I have been to this location three times and two out of the three I think I was helped by the Manager or one of the Owners. A very happy, friendly and welcoming guy. His positivity alone is worth 5 stars because you feel your business is appreciated and he enjoys interacting with customers. Even with a mask on (which I appreciate the health aspect) you feel his smile and joy. Ike's locations are hit and miss. This location gives generous portions and the rolls are fresh. My wife had a Spiffy Tiffy on a Dutch crunch roll and she said it is the best Ike's sandwich that she has enjoyed. I had the Steve Young on a soft roll and mine was pretty good too. I ate mine so fast I forgot I wanted to take a picture first. Definitely patronize this business for fresh, generous portions and friendly outstanding service. I live in the East Bay but will stop here on my way home when my wife or I crave an Ike's sandwich.

    Stopped by and grabbed a sandwich on the go. It was really good. The amount of meat and sauce was perfect. They say a messy sandwich is a great sandwich so how can you go wrong? I had their special bread and the crispy crunch definitely enchanted the sandwich. I'd come back and try some of the other options another time.

The noodles are delicious, the broth is rich yet not greasy, and the beef slices are incredibly tender and smooth. It is almost impossible to find any flaws. If I had to point out one area that could be improved, it would probably be the choice of beef chunks. They are still very tender, but the texture feels just a little dry at times. Even so, this small issue does not take away from the overall experience. Overall, I highly recommend this modern pho restaurant. They also offer many other dishes with great value for the price. Strongly recommended to everyone. 每次去拜訪這家餐廳,服務員的服務都非常得好,我始終點一樣的越南牛肉粉,好吃的麵條,濃郁的湯頭也不油膩,加上超滑嫩的牛肉片,無可挑剔。硬要說一個能改進的地方,唯一美中不足的部分應該就是牛肉塊的部位挑選,感覺也是非常嫩,但是口感始終有一點柴。但是瑕不掩瑜,整體來講,我非常推薦這一家好吃的現代河粉店,裡面還有非常多性價比非常不錯的餐點,強力推薦給各位。
