This is a nice little sandwich shop located in Irvine. They use Boars Head products which is quality. They have daily lunch special sandwiches. I ordered the Italian with a bag of chips and a drink. I loved the soft roll, some places the bread is rock hard. My sandwich was delicious. Everyone here is really friendly.

Awful. One piece of ham and one piece of turkey....

I was Justin at Larry's deli and ordered a club sub sandwich I get one piece of turkey and one piece of ham with toasted bread. This is just completely awful. Do not eat here. Avoid because they will JIP you out of your food

This unassuming sandwich shop is my go to place for lunch when I am craving a nice grilled sandwich. The staff knows my order by now. The usual sandwich I order is grilled club sandwich on sourdough with avocado and provolone cheese. The sandwich is made crispy on the outside and packed with all the ingredients. I've learned to order it as a grilled sandwich instead of toasted. It's a world of difference. The shop is small and can get busy during lunch time. So be ready to wait a bit for the sandwich as they prepare the food.

Stopped by Larry's Deli for lunch and got the turkey avocado wrap. Pretty good, fresh and filling, just nothing special. Solid spot if you need a quick bite. Service was fast, easy in and out. I'd come back.

The vegetarian
Brenda P.

This place always satisfies my healthy cravings. Although the sandwiches can be pretty hefty, which is a great thing! I told myself I'd only have half because that's how large these cold sandwiches are but I couldn't resist the other half. I ordered the vegetarian sandwich. As is. And it was delectable. I like to add a bit of salt to mine but it's not really needed. All the ingredients always taste fresh and the squaw bread is so soft and compliments the veggie ingredients very well. There is seating inside and a few patio chairs outside. I notice a lot of pickup orders but the place isn't too bad to just take a break and eat there. Service is friendly as well.

Egg choice sandwhich
Tanner W.

Been passing by this place for years wanting to stop in but never have. Made the effort today and was not disappointed. Mad at myself for taking this long to come in. One of the best egg salad sandwhiches I have ever had. Came out very quick as well. 10/10.

Such a hidden gem here in Irvine, located next to k1 speed in a small business plaza, I wasn't sure what to expect for my first time trying Larry's Deli, I drive past it almost every day and decided to give it a try! The French dip sandwich was amazing, lightly meddled with horseradish so it's not too overwhelming and the meat and cheese were both abundant. I definitely souped up the rest of the aus ju after finishing the sandwich, I have to say for $10 this sandwich really lifted the bar. The potato salad was really good too, not too firm or too watery, tasted great! The lady at the front is super sweet and my sandwich came out relatively quick. I'll definitely be coming back for a quick lunch, it's a great local business

Egg choice (sandwich)
Ann L.

Spotted this small sandwich place tucked in a small strip. Immediately was drawn to their egg sandwich, similar to San-do, but with a thicker layer of egg salad and addition of a generous portion of alfalfa sprouts (game changer), carrots, lettuce, and tomato. Sooooo delicious. Tasted so much better with the other veggies especially the alfalfa sprouts. Definitely coming back

Grilled Chicken Sandwich
Sung J.

A place I wish I could go anytime to grab my sandwich cravings! For someone who lives in IE it's impossible but only possible if in the Irvine area on a weekday during their specified opened hours. Why doesn't IE have any good sandwich shops?? So sad. Friendly service, and quickly served upon order. Small seating areas both inside and outside. Inside a business mall Plaza off of Van Karman Ave near Alton Pkwy.

Lunch special
Christina N.

A hidden gem inside of a small strip mall in Irvine. I pass by almost every day, and I decided to finally walk in and see what their offerings were. A sweet woman named Cathy greeted me as I walked in, gave great recommendations, and was very friendly. I ended up getting the Wall Street, and was surprised by the quality of the sandwich. They use the freshest ingredients and I was very pleased. I will be back.

Ray H.

They make fresh sandwiches here! Best quality sandwiches anywhere. Genuine boars head meats, great breads, rolls and wraps with freshest toppings. The club is one of my favorites. I just wish it was closer to my house. Eat inside outside or takeout. This is a very well run small sandwich shop. The staff works hard and service was good. They are located in the Von Karman Commerce Center. I'm sure they do a killer catering lunch for offices and parties! Give these guys a try! Food rating: Club Sandwich 9.2/10. Very good!

Chicken choice on squaw
Mykim L.

What a gem of a sandwich shop and I love that they have squaw bread! They're located in an industrial plaza with indoor and limited outdoor seating. I assume they cater primarily to the working lunch crowd because their hours of operations are limited to the weekdays (2:30PM close) and they're closed on the weekends. Prices were reasonable and there is a great variety on their menu with tons of healthy options to choose from. I got the Chicken Choice on Squaw bread (comes standard) and throughly enjoyed it. The chicken was almost like tuna texture and I loved the contrast of cashews in the sandwich. I can't wait to come back!

It's too bad they are not open more - great deli sandwiches and staff is very friendly - the tuna on squaw is an absolute winner!

There are not enough complimentary words available to express how I feel about Steve, his staff,…read moreand the wonderful service he provides. If you need someone to flawlessly handle the catering for your event, then Hawaiian Luau OC is for you. I recently lost my wife of 40 years to cancer, and she was a Hawaiian dancer for many years. I thought do hold a luau style celebration of life to honor her endless Aloha Spirit and love of the Hawaiian culture. I did not know where to turn to begin to create a perfect evening to honor my wife, but I was blessed to discover Hawaiian Luau OC. From my first conversation with Steve, I instantly knew that I made the right choice. It was like talking to a friend from the first word, and I could tell he was fully invested in doing everything possible to make this evening memorable in every way. He even offered to prepare samples of his food and bring them to my home for my approval. Who does that anymore?!? On the day of my wife's celebration, Steve and his staff arrived right on time and set up a wonderful Hawaiian style buffet that was beautifully decorated. Every item of food they provided was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. I have been receiving compliments for two weeks from my guests saying the smoked pork was, "the best I've ever had" and the teriyaki chicken was so tender that it was like, "the filet mignon of chicken." Absolutely incredible food from the appetizers to the desserts. Now that the event has passed, I am actually kind of sad that I no longer get to work with Steve, because the experience was that enjoyable in every way. If you have an upcoming event, I hope you will consider Hawaiian Luau OC, because you will walk away with total satisfaction and a big smile on your face.

I know people may be avoiding carbs and sugar these days, but whoever does their baking and desserts knows what they are doing.

Saltwater's team is the very best! Chef Lou and Manager Nancy took care of everything as we planned…read moreour first event for 200 guests. We had tasted their food before and knew we were in for delicious cuisine, but what surprised us was their attention to detail in guiding us through the mysterious maze of planning a big party! From renting the furniture, glasses, dishes, tablecloths and the kitchen equipment, they covered all the necessities with ease. Adjustments were even made at the last minute to provide heaters when the weather required them. Their service team was elegantly dressed, friendly and professional, as they moved through our crowd offering guests a variety of tasty heavy appetizers. We would just finish up a lamb lollipop when another server would appear with a yummy spring roll with dipping sauce, then a fabulous chicken slider with dill pickle. Vegetarian offerings were included in the interesting menu, too. Saltwater also provided a good number of bartenders so that guests seldom had to wait in line for a refill. All said, I can 100% recommend Saltwater Catering. We will use them again!

Present and accommodating staff, especially with our dynamic production schedule. Good variety of food menus. They were communicative with our production team on what they needed: two 8-foot tables and an EZ-up tent with walls attached to block the wind from cooling the burners. We'd recommend listing "includes dairy" as an allergy warning moving forward, since we had a couple minor instances with our crew's needs. 2 out of the 3 days, the staff helped us box lunches and leftovers to-go, which was incredibly helpful and appreciated. On the last day, they provided boxes, but our crew had to box it up. Overall, Saltwater Catering was easy to work with, and we'd use them again if we film in the area.
