Wagyu Pastrami sandwich
Andrew H.

Been meaning to try the one in Costa Mesa but was nearby so tried this location instead. Just keep in mind the one here has a significantly smaller menu and does not do the $10 special everyone is talking about! Tried the Wagyu pastrami sandwich on recommendation from the worker there, and it definitely did not disappoint. The flavors were so well balanced and there was a lot of pastrami on it--it is not the type of pastrami that gets really oily and is cut into smaller strips; it's more of a deli meat pastrami type. Honestly, I couldn't tell it was anything special from being Wagyu, but everything else on the sandwich and the crunch rye bread was very much perfect. The balance of flavors was great. The only thing that might take you aback is the price--$22; it does come with a can of soda and chips, but it's not like the sandwich was incredibly huge. That being said, the sandwich alone made me pretty full! For a sandwich arranged at essentially a deli counter, it tasted much more gourmet than that. I picked up a couple Wagyu burger patties as well to cook another time, we'll see how those turn out. But overall, the food here definitely made me want to try the Costa Mesa location! If price is not too big of a deal to you then definitely stop by. If you like pastrami sandwiches you'll like this place. The prices on the raw Wagyu meat, like others have said, aren't super cheap, but it's convenient that it's here. Inside has a nice deli vibe to it, just keep in mind there's only a few outside small tables there, so if it's busy you might not be able to sit. You won't want to eat the sandwich in your car--it gets a bit messy!

My second time coming here (i'm editing this because i made a review for the costa mesa location). this time i got the pastrami wagyu sandwich. The only difference between this and the grilled cheese i got at the other location was only one kind of cheese and no carmelized fig jam. I honestly prefer the grilled cheese just because there's three different cheeses but this was still delicious.

Finally had the chance to try this place out after seeing videos of their burgers in the Costa Mesa location. The Brea location is a small cozy deli like spot selling expensive cuts of Wagyu and premium marinated meats. This location did not offer the burgers but had the entire sandwich menu. With the help of the friendly staff members I ordered: the Smoked and Wagyu Pastrami Sandwiches and the Hot and Cold Trio Wagucci Submarine. Each of these sandwiches were expertly constructed in front of you and served with a complementary side of chip and soda. You can tell that these people put their time and attention into making these. When I say these are some of the best sandwiches I ever had, I mean it whole heartedly. I highly recommend getting the Wagyu pastrami smoked or by itself on a marble rye bread over the Trio hot / cold subs on a roll. The meats they use in these sandwiches are incredible and worked perfectly with each component of the sandwich. I highly recommend anyone looking for a new sandwich spot to give this spot a shot. Will definitely be back to try the other items!

House and Wagyu sandwich

I enjoyed the house sandwich! The wagyu and the steak sandwiches were good options too. The sandwiches are pricy but it comes with chips and a soda. Service was good.

This place is a wagyu lover's dream. They sell Wagyu by the pound! The atmosphere is fun, where the employees sing and dance, and you can tell they love their job. The Wagyu pastrami sandwich was delicious, the meat was so tender and unlike other pastrami sandwiches, it wasn't overwhelmingly salty. It was super delicious. The only reason why I'm giving it a 4 star is because of the price point. It's pretty pricey, $23 for a sandwich, although it included chips and a drink. Otherwise it was great!

Your boy had the best pastrami sandwich of his life. This sandwich was so satisfying , with the crispiness of the rye bread, to the understated sauce, and most, especially the guest of honor, the Wagyu pastrami: phenomenal. Make sure you get the smoked wagyu pastrami. Smoked Wagyu pastrami sandwich, 10/ 10 With taxes and everything , with one drink and a bag of chips ( get voodoo heat - tangy salt & vinger with a kick) everything came out to $26.

Simply awesome smoked wagyu pastrami sandwich! I typically don't like pastrami but this one I will eat over and over. Yes, it is expensive! But completely worth it.

I just tried this place for the first time and the smoked wagyu pastrami was LIFE CHANGING. Literally the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. Some sandwich shops stuff more meat into their pastramis but it's usually too dry and stiff. This one was just the right amount of meat and super high quality. For some wondering why it doesn't have more meat for a pastrami, it's about quality not quantity! 11/10!

Maybe it's because I ordered through Uber Eats, but I suggest you go in person just so you reject it if it comes out this way. But as a meat shop first and a sandwich shop second, they have no business charging what they charge, having pictures like they have and give me this type of sandwich. It's literally two pieces of meat. From a quick look from their photos, this sandwich is the smallest I've seen. I'll give a +1 star for flavor. Even 2 stars is generous. ** here's a counter to the owner update and I'll drop my review from 2 star to 1 star While it's fair what he said and make sense from a business. It's still misleading if that "gotcha" was not clearly stated in Uber Eats. It still states 3oz and as a normal sandwich. I hope this reviews stays up, so others can see how deceitful they can be and by their logic, a discount means they can reduce portion as they see fit. "50% off, but we'll remove 50% portion." It's something to laugh about.

Stopped by this butcher/deli for lunch. Wagyu pastrami seems to be their go speciality for fancy sandwiches. About $23 a sandwich for any of the wagyu ones. The trio with Dutch crunch bread had roast beef, ham, and pastrami was quite good. A little pricey, but that's what happens with the wagyu mark up. Was good, but not sure I'd be a frequent customer. Maybe I'm not skilled enough to tell the difference.

I finally had the chance to give this business a try and I'm glad I did…read more The store was nice and clean and I was greeted by Alena who helped me with my shopping needs and was very helpful. Picked the prime filet mignon since I wanted something more lean and she gave me the perfect cut. I also picked some lemon peppercorn butter to top my steak with. They also have a sandwich station which I will give a try at another time. I'II be back!

Clean & bright. Full of specialty items like Asian hot sauces, bbq dry rubs, kettle chips from NY,…read moretruffle butter spreads, jars of wagyu & duck fat, but their primary reason for existence is their high quality meats. Displayed in a shiny cold case that is expertly manned by a friendly, informative staff, there is every cut of meat...they even have quail if you ask! They also have a deli where you can order huge, hearty, delicious sandwiches (you always want it on ciabatta since white & wheat bread won't be able to handle all the oil & vinegar, pesto, mustard) to go! These are $14 sandwiches but worth it! Our sequence of events: We ordered #4 and #6 Shopped for dinner (ribeyes, filets, asparagus, red bliss potatoes, garlic bread) Picked up our takeout sandwiches Impulsively picked up 2 bags of chips that were near the front Paid for everything at the register Finally got home to enjoy all the delicious foods we got from the Butchery!

If you love real barbecue, Evan's Smokehouse is one of those places you keep coming back to…read more The brisket is undeniable -- perfectly smoked, incredibly tender, and full of flavor. One of my favorite ways to order it is the Austin Midnight brisket sandwich, which is absolutely incredible. My personal go-to though is the Carolina Sandwich -- pulled pork, topped with homemade coleslaw on a brioche bun. Every Bite is amazing! The coleslaw is outstanding and balances the pulled pork perfectly. Honestly, all of the meats here are fantastic. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the house links have such a great balance of flavor with a little bit of heat. The sides are just as memorable. The mac and cheese is as creamy as it gets, the beans have incredible flavor, and the cornbread with green chiles is so delicious. But the potato salad is a must. I order the potato salad every single time I eat here. It's one of those sides that you start craving after you've had it once. And don't leave without dessert -- Chef Evan is a pastry chef on top of being an incredible pitmaster, and the Nana pudding is the perfect finish. Beyond the food, Evan is just a genuinely great human being who really cares about his craft and the people he serves. You can taste the care in the food and feel it in the atmosphere. I've also ordered catering from him and always feel incredibly taken care of. It's rare to find someone who puts this much heart into what they do.

I love this spot!!…read more The food is always fresh and I've gone different times of the day and think oh today will be a miss but till this freaking day it always hits like how?! It's really good bbq quality. The sides are really good too, the chili brisket needs a bigger size cuz I could eat that all day long, the mac n cheese is really good too I like eating them together lol. Brisket is amazing, ribs are Amazing. Only thing I would like to see is bbq sauce on the side I like the taste of the meat without it being smothered, it's better as a dipping sauce. The area is clean and like a backyard scene, the cook and service is cool they be just ready to cook and serve in that spaceship lol. This place is a hidden gem! 8/10 What's it needs: Different or more dipping sauce options: Dijon mustard bbq, Spicy siracha bbq sauce, chipotle Smokey bbq sauce. I'm just throwing ideas out here. Bigger or more sizes for the sides Keep sauces as dipping sides and add salt and pepper before serving. These would make it a 10/10 as a fact not opinion.
