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.

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!

Outside dining: turkey sandwich with lettuce tomato avocado on wheat

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!

Fantastic food and service, Extremely clean location. You…read morefeel the love that has been given to the meats and foods that are being served. Try the Steak sandwich and the Spicy Italian. Fantastic. And my son's is in love with their fries.

tl;dr skip the mushy steak sando and focus on the pastrami; it has the right combination of style…read moreand substance to justify its fanfare and premium price tag Los Angeles has its fair share of classic delis, each with a storied history and a signature sando. And that makes Mario's Butcher Shop (which opened just a few years ago) all the more remarkable. Chef and owner Mario Llamas honed his craft as executive chef at an Argentine steakhouse in Guadalajara, Mexico, before settling back down in Orange County. His namesake restaurant offers a full butcher selection, plus an eclectic sando menu ranging from Argentinian roast beef to Italian hoagies. Over a few short years, Mario's has earned features by the Los Angeles Times and Eater, and it has the loyal customer base to back it up. Mario's occupies the far end of a bustling Newport strip mall, otherwise highlighted by boutique fitness centers and spas. The industrial-chic interior is clean and minimalist. The concrete floors are polished, and the muted walls are decorated only with a single flat screen and a single framed photograph. To the left, the line loops around a merch counter. On the right, the butcher display is lined with Dodgers' bobbleheads. Industrial fridges are filled with gourmet sauces, broths, and meats (including lobster tails and veal brains). Wicker barstool chairs are pressed up to the narrow lightwood window counters. Eighties rock plays respectfully around the room. Outside, patio furniture lines the perimeter of the restaurant. My fiancee and I visited Mario's for a pre-beach bite, and we hit the weekend lunch rush. We opted to split a Pastrami on Rye and a Steak Sandwich with provolone. The pastrami sando fully met my expectations. The reasonable portion of meat was sandwiched between two slices of sturdy, thick-cut rye. While the spicy brown mustard added a mild bite, I enjoyed a side of the horseradish-forward Russian dressing for some extra zing. In contrast, the steak sandwich was disappointing. The steak was tender, but the oily chimichurri was one-dimensional in flavor and turned the bread into a mushy mess; the romaine and tomato felt like unnecessary space-fillers. The line was long, but the staff efficiently churned through orders. Each sandwich was $20, and the standard portion size felt satisfyingly filling. My fiancee and I agreed that the steak sando was a forgettable dud, but the pastrami was worth the wait. I wouldn't go out of my way to pay Mario's a repeat visit, but I could see myself popping in if I'm already in the neighborhood.
