Mango ice cream

Can't go wrong with their sandwiches, service and Mitchell's mango ice cream is the way to end a good lunch!

Empty sandwich
Michael M.

I would show you the sandwich but I ate it too fast. Had the Reunion sub...best sub in the city

The Reunion
Angela K.

I got the reunion sandwich which had turkey, cheese, pesto, avocado and veggies on sourdough. I got it with extra pickles. I got the larger size and split it for two separate meals. Portions quite large. They were also very fast which I appreciated as i was in a hurry. The sandwich really hit the spot and was decent for the price.

The Atomic
Phanna P.

Place looked busy but the 2 guys working the deli were super quick. I wonder if they copied the atomic from Submarine Center in west portal. But nonetheless very good sandwich. Can't wait to try another one.

Menu July 2025
Sami R.

I got the reunion and added jalepenos. It was SO SO good. It was also pretty huge. I had my boyfriend to get it for me so I can't speak on the ambiance or service but the sandwich itself didn't disappoint. Updated menu! July 2025.

Bring your appetite because the sandwiches are HUGE! Absolutely delicious & fresh ingredients & the bread with crunchy yet soft. Great food! Busy spot, but definitely worth the search for parking.

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had, they are massive and full of fresh ingredients. The Dutch crunch was awesome. Parking is tough and paid on the street unless you go over a block to the neighborhood.

Dee-licious, like this spot

Nudged them to a fourth star for heart and great service. I really like these guys and want to see them succeed. That said, they need to look at their menu ingredients and rebalance. I ordered the Red Balls (meatballs, provolone, onions, jalapeño, marinara) and Spicy Bella (Buffalo chicken pepper Jack cheese, jalapeño, ranch). Both sandwiches were good, had quality ingredients but the amount of sauce in the Spicy Bella was overwhelming: Buffalo sauce and ranch dressing poured out of my sandwich. Didn't have a single complaint from The Incinerator who nearly downed his meatball sub before I took a bite; it was tasty. The Spicy Bella had a delectable amount of juicy chicken. What it needed was balance and texture. I added crunchy romaine and it came to life. It was a counterpoint to the spiciness (advise less sauce & jalapeños too). I gave the owner the secret Buffalo sauce recipe. I wouldn't be surprised to see Buffalo wings make the menu - or used on the Spicy Bella. (And no, you may not have it!) Prices are a touch high ($17/$19 subs) but they don't skimp on quality ingredients. Recommend.

Two thin slices of meat for a $20 sandwich
Jake A.

So disappointed with this place. If you want a $20 sandwich that's super messy because it's soaking in sauce and only has 1-2 slices of meat and full of vegetables, then go here. They charge $3 extra for "extra meat" and add maybe 1 slice. The meat portion is so tiny. Even Subway does better. Order from Bite Sandwiches instead where they make real sandwiches, not a pile of soggy vegetables between bread.

Atomic
Paolo B.

Walking towards the Presidio and the Marina, I came across Marina Subs and saw it's been there for over 50 years. Of course I had to look it up and turns out the original owner had left but it was reopened with new owners. Looking at the photos of the sandwiches before and after, it's a night and day difference. Although the size of the sandwiches have remained the same. Looking at the menu, there's plenty of cool options and crazy combos so I decided to take a chance on the Atomic Sandwich. It had a few different meats, jalapeños, oil and vinegar and veggies. It was light on the meats and heavy on the bread. It didn't come with jalapeños, instead it was banana peppers (two completely different flavor profiles) The size of the sandwich reminded me of little luccas in SSF but I thought the overall flavor of this sandwich was lacking. I got it on sourdough roll, but unfortunately the bread didn't taste fresh. There was so much bread, it would help if they cut out some of the inside of the bread so the meats have a nice canoe to sit in. The sandwich with a tip came out to $22. I think for the flavor and quality, it wasn't something I'd order again. It wasn't the tastiest sandwich, but I think with a few minor tweaks they can get this right. The people inside were really nice and they were pumping out sandwiches really quick. If I return, I think i'll definitely go for something with dutch crunch and something that includes mayo or some kinda spread because the sandwich I got was too dry for my taste.

The Italian Marine's
Danika F.

Hands down best sandwich in the marina, perhaps even in sf. A couple of caveats: it's pretty pricey for a standard sized meal, definitely save this trip for a special occasion! One sandwich will cost you around $18 of not more. Secondly, they are busy so order ahead if you don't want to wait as long. Prep time is still around 15-20 minutes. Third, check your order before you leave, I ordered a Coke 0 and received a Diet Coke, and us Coke 0 girls know how big of a difference that is I will be back for sure next time I'm craving a delicious sandwich for a special occasion.

If you all had a half sandwich + soup combo I'd be there 2-3x a week. Any thoughts?

For this location, the shop is located inside the Kinokuniya Mall in Japantown in San Francisco. [Parking]: There are two parking garages - The Main Garage (1610 Geary Boulevard) and The Fillmore Annex Garage (1650 Fillmore Street). Parking rate = $5 per hour from 12 PM to 6 PM and $3 per hour outside of those hours. I got lucky and was able to find metered parking spots near the intersection of Buchanan St and Sutter St (free on Sunday). [Atmosphere]: Matcha Cafe Maiko is located on the first level of Kinokuniya Mall. This is mostly a takeout only spot with no indoor tables and limited chairs available. [Menu]: Most visitors come here for the matcha soft-serve ice cream. The shop also offers the Golden Sho-Gun 24K gold soft-serve ice cream. Other items include sundaes, parfaits, lattes, cream foam lattes, and teas. *** Soft Serve Ice Cream (Matcha, Cone - $6.95): Amazing ice cream - creamy and dense with a strong matcha flavor. *** This is a fantastic matcha ice cream shop - two big thumbs up.

Amazing Ice Cream - what a spectacle…read more Mitchell's Ice Cream is an absolute San Francisco legendary institution that sets the gold standard for premium frozen treats. Located in the Bernal Heights neighborhood, this multi-generational neighborhood favorite serves up unparalleled quality, crafting their small-batch ice cream daily with an incredibly rich 16% butterfat base. The result is an exceptionally thick, smooth texture and deeply vibrant flavor profile that elevates both classic choices and their famous tropical, Filipino-inspired offerings like Mango and Ube. A major highlight of this beloved spot is their rare, night-owl-friendly schedule: they serve their delicious treats late into the night until 11:00 PM every single day. It is the ultimate late-night destination to satisfy your sweet tooth with the finest super-premium ice cream the Bay Area has to offer. Local Insider Tips * Take a Number: When you walk inside, immediately pull a paper ticket from the dispenser near the door to secure your spot in the queue. * Standout Flavors: While they rotate through 40 flavors daily, make sure to try their legendary Mango (imported from the Philippines since 1964) or unique options like Mexican Chocolate, Grasshopper Pie, and Ube. * Parking Tip: They have a tiny 15-space parking lot that fills up fast, so searching for street parking or walking is highly recommended.

Great for meeting friends, dates, picking up birthday or party cakes or ice cream, just don't forget to grab a paper number as soon as you arrive! Their selection is insane - so many flavors, lots of tropical, tons of mainstays (their oreo is fantastic), no cookie dough surprisingly, but the flavors and toppings are just so, so good...it's like time traveling back a few decades when it was simpler and ice cream was enough to make anyone happy, at least for awhile). Lots of non-dairy options too for those who need them. The people working here are always friendly and they always have good suggestions or a sample right away for the kids to keep the line moving but also happy. The key word, I've realized, is "happy." Mitchell's specializes in making everyone happier than when they arrived - every time.

THE BEST CREPES!!!!!!! No joke, best crepes ever. From east…read morecoast to west, this is the absolute, hands down, best crepe spot. Nestled in the heart of Japan town's shopping center, right next to the bookstore- Sophie's crepes is. Very small bistro seating is available, but this place gets pretty busy. They have an extensive menu of both simple and layered flavors. The crepes here are thin and crispy, and come in a very cute crepe holder when served. I always get the strawberries and banana with Nutella, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. The crepe won't last long, you'll eat it right up. My partner opts for a strawberry and whipped cream option, with raspberry jam- simple in comparison to my order. Sophie's is always our starting point in Japan town, and once you've placed your order, you cannot revise it. Make sure you hold onto your number, you'll need to provide it when your number is called. Enjoy, a must try in SF; even if you just go to Japan town for this one thing, trust me, it's worth it.

The crepe itself was light and had a good flavor. I do wish the fruit pieces and ice cream were more evenly distributed but it was a nice sweet treat. I was hoping they would include more berries too. Also, the crepe can be messy to eat, so definitely grab some napkins. Otherwise, I recommend visiting Sophie's Crepes for a solid dessert. I'd like to return and try one of their savory crepes!
