FANTASTICAL !!!!! Great staff! Great prices!!! Sandwiches are incredible! You get alot of food , the meat and bread is quality. It's tough to get a seat so take it to a park but soo worth the yummyness!! read more

This place is awesome! Not only do they have delicious in house sandwiches but they have cool merch as well. Staff have always been super kind and quick when we visit! Exited to come back. read more

Delicious sandwiches that are perfectly crafted. There is no way to find something wrong with this place. I custom ordered a turkey on rye sandwich with my favorite toppings. All I learned was to ask for "light" mustard because their standard mustard application is a little much for my liking, the sandwich was soo good regardless that even too much mustard couldn't ruin it. My husband got the Reuben which he said was perfection, and my dad got the turkey sub which hit the spot. It's not a cheap sandwich but it's quality. I'll definitely come back when the deli craving returns! read more

3 Peat is awesome! I highly recommend this deli, it's number 1 in Ojai. The breakfast bagels are the bomb.

Great sandwich shop in Ojai! While visiting, I overheard several people talking about MJ's and couldn't resist trying it out! I placed an online order, and it arrived incredibly quickly. I ordered the Three Peat, but I requested it to be prepared "Hot/toasted." It was quite saucy, so be sure to bring have some napkins. They also offer pickles if you'd like! A few seating options inside or plan for take out! I highly recommend checking out MJ's if you're looking for a delicious sandwich or hot dog! read more

So glad I got to try this deli out! I ordered an everything bagel with lox and the chickpea salad. Everything was so fresh and flavorful, and the service was wonderful as well. There isn't a lot of seating indoors but there are a few tables outside, so probably best to get the food to go if you're able to. read more

Absolutely delicious sandwiches. A small traditional sandwich shop with sandwiches that are over the top! So so good! Ojai is just over an hours drive from our house but I just might make the drive to get another sandwich in the future. Small place with a big heart! You can feel the care put into everything served. I highly recommend it. read more

It's great to have a place in town where you can go to grab a delicious reasonably priced sandwich either to go or to eat in - there are a few few tables, but it does get pretty crowded. The staff is friendly and helpful. There can be a little bit of a wait for your sandwich as it does get pretty busy, especially on the weekends. The food is fresh and delicious, the prices are reasonable, and I love getting a pickle with my sandwich. The sandwich shop is cute and there are some tables inside and out, but as I noted, it can get crowded, especially during the lunch hour. read more

Quick service, cute little spot, BIG & meaty sandwiches. I loved the Calabrian Mayo! Worth a stop. read more

Writing this review because 1) their sandwiches and potato salad are incredible and 2) the staff are the kindest people ever!! They mailed my bag back to me when I lost it! Diving into the details 1) I ordered the New Yorker sub and it was STACKED! The sandwich is so big that I I shared it with my partner and it was plenty. The best part of the meal though was their potato salad. The seasonings and flavor were very stand out. The potatoes were the perfect texture too! I loved it and would highly recommend! The entire meal was perfect for a hot day. 2) I lost my reusable bag here when visiting Ojai and was honestly pretty sad about it. I figured I should just call and see if I left it at the deli. Sure enough it was there and the staff was super kind to ship it back to me along with a sticker! THANK YOU SO MUCH MU'S DELI. I will be back next time I visit Ojai read more

I don't cook. I only eat out. I love to eat out and am thrilled when the total experience is above my expectations. MJ's is one of those places. One thing I look for are indications that the restaurant I'm paying for is a great place to work. I'm not going to subsidize a restaurant owned by some jerk. Evelyn at MJ's has so much charisma and emotes that MJ's is a great place to be. The sandwiches are above standard grade sub shops in quality and deliciousness. The prices are below what I'd expect. Thank goodness MJ's is here because there are no other good sandwich shops in the Ojai Valley. read more

The best deli spot in Ojai! I've always had a great experience with the service & food. Always a clean good experience!

Delicious sandwiches! Recommend doing the Dutch crunch roll. Portion size for a full-sized sandwich is great!

Very good sub on a sesame bun! I just found out they deliver on DoorDash! ADD POTATO SALAD! Everything good!

What a treat. Busy Sunday. MJ's was not busy. We split a spicy turkey. It was great! Nice blend of condiment. The aioli was right in. Thin sliced, tender turkey with the right amount of bun. We'll be back. read more

Delicious! Loved the Topa Topa sandwich - enough for two meals. Potato salad was good, too. Coleslaw I wouldn't get unless you like spicy. Mom's ham and cheese sandwich was good. Loved the Planter's Punch Tractor Drink, and the Tractor Lemonade, too. Cookies were good, too! and little bags of chips. Husband had the breakfast sandwich and he was thrilled to get to have "all day breakfast." Gal behind the counter was kind, and personable, and efficient. We didn't have to wait long even through there was a steady stream of customers coming into the place. read more

This deli is top notch! I like to customize my rye sandwich piled thick with plenty of protein (turkey and ham), lettuce, mixed greens, tomatoes, onions, swiss cheese, garlic aioli, and mustard. You also get pickles on the side as well! I always leave this restaurant feeling full, energized, and ready to take on the day no matter what comes my way. read more

Good sandwiches. Good selections. A little pricey but so is everything in Ojai and I've never regretted eating here. Good pickles too.

I finally made my way into town to try MJ's. I had many friends tell me that it was solid so I was excited to give it a try. I ordered the Reuben while the misses had the spicy turkey. The Good: everything we ordered was amazing. The Reuben was a great value for the price. I love the pastrami, it is offered with corned beef but pastrami is the true Reuben. The pastrami was well cooked and juicy and the thousand island was the perfect level of creaminess to cut through the sourness of the kraut. The rye was soft and pillowy. They also add a pickle which are excellent. I didn't try the spicy turkey but my wife really enjoyed it. And she is a very tough critic. The Bad: nothing bad about the food but parking is challenging. Not only is the parking lot always packed, it is tough to navigate once you get inside. Best to park on Ojai Ave or one of the side streets. The ugly: nothing ugly here my friends. If you are looking for a solid sandwich without breaking the bank, MJ's is what you are looking for. What a great addition to the valley. Will definitely be back to try their other sandos. read more

Stopped by over the weekend as we wanted something quick that we could take to the park while enjoying the nice weather. Cute shop with some tables inside and out. Service was quick and the cashier was really welcoming. Ordered the Triple Decker Club and it was great! Very fresh and came with a pickle. Lots of meat too. Definitely recommend. read more

Mj's deli is the best sandwich i've ever had in my life. Woman at the counter is such a kind and beautiful soul. I built my own sandwich, turkey, bacon, avocado, tomato, lettuce, mayo, chipotle aioli. The best thing i've ever had. Not only was the food good, but the service is amazing. The cashier doesn't give you a number, she remembers who ordered what and where they are sitting. The friendly atmosphere and amazing food is what makes this place wonderful read more

Came to Ojai for a Saturday day trip not knowing much about the food scene and we were pleasantly surprised by this small, unassuming deli located in a small shopping center. It has about two tables outside and then a couple of smaller tables inside with a bar counter. As a sandwich lover originally hailing from Brooklyn, these were some of my favorite sandwiches I've eaten in my near two years here on the west coast. We ordered the: Pastrami Sub Three Peat Super Sub Mike's Super Dog First off, the cashier who took our order was incredibly kind and helpful as we tried to solidify our picks, as it was very difficult to choose. Our biggest question was whether we should get a regular hot dog vs the Super Dog. She said we would not be disappointed...and we were not. All of the things we ordered were absolutely excellent. The bread was pillowy soft and fresh and meats were of the highest quality. The combinations of flavors were classic and executed perfectly. They don't skimp out on the fillings either. The Super Dog was very special and the most unique thing we ate. It was served sliced/flattened covered in melted Swiss, bacon, thousand island, and coleslaw nestled in their amazing bread. Don't skip out on this treat - it was remarkable. With a water + tip...this all cost about $47. We didn't finish everything as the sandwiches are huge, so it really is a great value for the price. Coming from LA, I'd consider these cheap! My only regret was not buying some merch. We truly can't wait to go back! read more

We were looking for a little picnic food since most of the restaurants and eateries in the town weren't exactly family friendly (tight spaces and no room for any strollers). We opted to check this place out. It's in the same plaza as Nest with some parking. It gets chaotic during the weekend brunch hours. We got a modest tuna sandwich, a cold cut turkey sub and a grilled cheese sandwich. The prices for the sandwiches were a little too much for me but what do you expect being in Ojai. I felt the sub was more fair considering the size. I thought all the food was pretty good. We had leftovers of each sandwich when we were done so I can't complain. Good service and clean bathrooms and seating inside and out. I do want to check out their pastrami next time! read more

Delicious! Ordered the Reuben sandwich and the corned beef sub warmed up.. okay-- the bread for the sun was so soft and delicious. It had a really good taste and tasted fresh and not over filling. The Reuben was really tasty! It has a lot of meat and cheese, which makes it so tasty! The both came with pickles which was nice contrast in flavor. Staff was nice and friendly. Clean little deli! Highly recommend! read more

Updating my last review. We've been here many times now and it's delicious! I stick mainly to different versions of a turkey sandwich (I'm a creature of habit) but my husband has branched out much more. The pastrami Reuben is *chef's kiss*. We go out to lunch most weekends and MJ's is always one place that we can agree on. read more

We were lucky enough to find MJ's Deli this morning and it was amazing. My husband had the breakfast bagel with bacon and scrambled eggs and I had the lox and cream cheese with red onion and capers. They were both incredible and we would highly recommend. The deli was immaculately clean and the staff were lovely and friendly. Great spot! read more

By Far - best sandwiches in Ojai. Do not settle for anything less. Especially for some dry tasteless supermarket drivel. This is good, high quality Fare. I ordered the Jewish and the California - both sandwiches were the real deal, bread was perfect, dressing was spot on. The blend of flavors was out of this world, new best spot for real food in OJAI. Not pretentious, clean, and ready to serve. So friendly. read more

If your tired of weird food in Ojai, You'll Absolutely Love MJ's Deli! Great Food, Amazing Sandwiches! Consistency is spot on everytime.

What a find! Thus little gem, tucked away in a shopping center with ample parking, is like a little New York deli in the middle of Ojai. The owner, Michael, makes a mile-high turkey club that is a work of art, piled high with tender white meat turkey, crispy bacon, shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced cheese and Thousand Island dressing. We had our sandwiches on toasted sourdough and could only finish one-half. It was super-fresh, made-to-order and absolutely delicious. Ask for a pickle on the side and don't miss an order of the outstanding homemade potato salad, which Michael also makes. The deli is super-friendly, thanks to Michael's Mom, who takes the orders and explains all the menu options. I wish my hometown in northern California had a deli this good, this fresh and this friendly! Absolutely perfect! read more

I already personally thanked the MJs team for making an awesome set of sandwiches for my girlfriend and I who were visiting from down in Long Beach. The quality of the cuts and the way they stacked everything was super awesome and flavorful. NOTHING fell out of my sandwich, I got every single bite full of flavor and fixings edge to edge. If you're looking for a place that does a sandwich right come find this hidden gem of a place in a hidden gem of a city. We were so impressed we didn't even bother to take the sandwiches with us we scarfed them in the parking lot like heathens because that's what a good sandwich does to you. read more

MJ’s Deli - Jewish sub. Delish! - Sandwiches Near Me - Ojai, California

Okay, this place is very, very solid, and the people are so sweet, so I'm unsure why there are some lower reviews? This definitely filled a spot in the Ojai lunch landscape - a good sandwich place that isn't too expensive. Is it Subway cheap? Of course not - they're a small business! But it's overall a very fair price for what you get. In terms of what you get, these are excellent deli sandwiches made with freshly carved meats and cheeses. I particularly love their calabrian aioli, and my favorite sandwich is the Jewish Sub (sans salami). They recently introduced half-sandwiches, which is excellent for people like me who a) cannot eat a whole sub in one sitting and b) prefer my sandwich fresh. The main con I can think of is the parking lot (which is narrow and isn't their fault). If you are expecting a super gourmet bespoke sandwich and want to pay $20, go to The Dutchess (which I also adore, but not for everyday). If you want a solid Jersey Mike's-but-better sandwich for ~$10, come here. read more
