I order the wagu pastrami. I think maybe I misunderstood the culinary style so I totally missed the beauty nature of wagu itself while I choose pastrami. To be fair, the food is tasty. It is gonna be hit for a meat lover. However, I cannot feel this sandwhich worth $24. Maybe the best way to enjoy wagu is save this $24 and buy the wagu shabu shabu in Japanese supermarket and cook by myself, if I really want to enjoy the wagu.
This spot was recommended by my colleague. Since I mentioned loving The Hat pastrami. I got the smoke pastrami. Came with a drink and chips, for $25. Asked for pickles on the side. Which I'm glad I did, it definitely needed them. Too bad yellow peppers didn't come included. I needed that extra kick. The meat is fresh. The bread is very tasty but I guess I was expecting more. I'll try their other pastrami next time. See if that one hits the spot. Loved the ambiance, very lively. Location is clean. Different sides, spices, seasonings and salsas sold here. Everything looked delicious.
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.
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!
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.
In elite Wagyu sandwich honestly wish they had better chip options. Their service was very attentive small little shop. I will definitely try their sandwich again more pickles, please!
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!
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.
Sandwich shop, butcher shop/carniceria, purveyor of high end goods - this place is located in a strip mall off a busy street in Brea. An 'if you blink, you might miss it' type of place. Inside, it feels like a mom/ pop, family owned/operated type spot. It's clean and the folks here are friendly and helpful. The place is not large, but it has lots of quality, high end meats and a great selection relative to the size. If you want wagyu tomahawks, sausages, and even high quality burgers, etc,, they have all that here. I can't remember when or why exactly it was on my list/radar, but I think it had to be because of the sandwiches. There was a week where I had to go back and forth from City of Industry and Anaheim, so I thought it was a perfect chance to check this place out. I ordered the smoked wagyu pastrami, which is served on a toasted marbled rye bread with swiss cheese, mayo, and some pepperoncini. Not cheap, but didn't feel super expensive when thinking about what you got. It also comes with chips and a drink. This was an excellent sandwich. Great flavors and textures. Nice crunch with each bite. I would just note, however, that the meat was sliced thin side and it was layered vs. the thicker cut Jewish style deli pastrami. There are also other items for sale like salsas and tortillas. Just a really cool spot with great food and great people. I'm a big fan.

The Wagyu Pastrami sandwich here is so good! It looks pricy on the menu, but you get a ton of meat, and you can tell it is great quality. The sandwich also comes with a back of chips and a soda. The inside is mainly a market/ ordering counter but there are a few tables and chairs outside. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Definitely a spot to check out! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more
Had seen this place pop up while driving by a while ago and was intrigued - a carniceria but wagyu?! How cool! We swung by to pick up some sandwiches to go and finally gave it a try. Sandwiches are on the pricier side $17+ but are huge and come with a soda and chips. I don't eat red meat so options were limited but I got the southwest Turkey and hubby got to Wagyu roast. We both enjoyed our sandwiches - each lasted two meals! Love that they have zapps chips and they also sell deli items like meat by the pound, salsas, tortillas and chimichurri. Everyone is friendly, place is clean and you can watch them prep meat through a window inside! read more

This place is pretty cool, I definitely come back to probably purchase some meat to cook at home. This review is mainly going to be about the sandwiches we got for takeout. You walk in, place an order for what you want at the register and then you basically just wait around until they call you. It took about 15 minutes. Overall the sandwiches were quite large, I think that two people with a medium appetite could share one. Not only because of the size, but the sandwich is a sodium overload. The bread they have is very good, the only downside is that the sandwich is pretty soggy after driving home, and I live about 10 minutes away. I think it's best enjoyed right away! Also, you can ask to get one of the salads instead of a bag of chips. I think it compliments the sandwich more. The price is quite expensive, this is definitely a special treat type of lunch. read more
Came here to try the smoked wagyu pastrami with smoked mozzarella. They have a good variety of meats and sandwiches here. Each sandwich comes with a soda and bag of chips which adds a nice touch. There is no inside seating to eat so everything is to go. I saw everything from halal chicken and sandwiches to steaks like tomahawks and i saw some A5 wagyu so they have it all. They are in the same parking lot as 7-11. Customer service was great! Wagyu pastrami rating 8.4 read more

Been wanting to try out La Carniceria Wagyu's for a while now and finally stopped by to pick up a few sandwiches for lunch. Each sandwich order comes with a canned soda and bag of chips. Prime Steak Sandwich ($18): Sliced balsamic prime steak with mixed greens, pepperoni mayo, provolone + swiss cheese, caramelized onions, and tomatoes on dutch crunch bread. Delicious but definitely must eat fairly quickly as the bread will get soggy and fall apart easily. Wagyu Pastrami Panini ($22): Wagyu pastrami with swiss cheese, and whole grain mayo on marble rye bread. A simple sandwich with a mouthful of flavor. The marble rye had too much of a herby taste for my preference but the meat was great. The ordering process was a bit confusing as a customer who was waiting let us know she ordered toward the back of the store but when we weren't helped yet, another customer told us they ordered by the front. We were ultimately helped by the meat counter by the owner himself, David. While waiting for our sandwiches, we overhead David mention to another customer about a sale they were having on wagyu tomahawk's (BMS 9) for $100 each instead of per pound. Intrigued, we pondered and decided to purchase a few along with the ribeye in the counter. Cooked the tomahawks the day after purchasing by reverse searing (as recommended by David) and they turned out amazing. Will definitely be on a lookout for another sale! Shared parking lot amongst other businesses - gets pretty crowded during peak hours so you may need to find street parking. read more

I've been here a handful of times and their sandwiches are great. I'm a big fan of their pastrami. I've also gotten a few of their cuts and have turned out great on the grill. The pricing is great for that type of meat you are purchasing, it's not your average stuff that you can get at grocery store. I'll definitely be back. read more

Been hearing great things about this place,so I decided to check it out for lunch today. I ordered the wagyu pastrami sandwich and the havana (their version of a Cubano) Every sandwich comes with a bag of chips and soda/water from their selection. I didn't expect that but was a cool surprise given the price point of the sandwiches. The meat used for the sandwiches was top shelf. So delicious and well seasoned . The bread was a little too toasty for my liking but good nonetheless. Service was fast and staff was helpful and courteous. Curious to try their wagyu Burger Pattie's next time. read more
