    ##3 Roasted Rascal (T) (SF) on a Dutch crunch
    Tiffany S.

    I was a little daunted by the price point, but after seeing how large the sandwiches and salads are, I think it's well worth the price! The sandwiches and salads are easily big enough for two people with how stuffed and loaded they are. I personally really enjoyed the barbecue chicken salad and I'm looking forward to trying to king Louie next time! I prefer the wheat bread over the Dutch crunch here. The staff were sweet with helping me make a decision as it's quite a large menu! The interior has two small tables and the exterior has three tables with some shade. Parking is easy and this was a great stop while running errands in foster city!

    Inside the hearty King Louie Sandwich

    Tried this place with a friend on a Sunday afternoon. No lines, fast service, great parking, and delicious hearty sandwiches. I had the King Louise Sandwich which was really hearty. Glad we chose the Hungry size instead of the Starving size. The King Louise sandwich came with honey ham, breaded chicken patty, and Swiss cheese. The toasted sourdough bread had garlic-pesto sauce and mayonnaise. There was a generous amount of lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. The aroma was so enticing especially when you first opened the wrapper. I have to say it's best enjoyed while it's warm!

    The sandwiches are so good. I tried the Italian sandwich regular size and I still couldn't finish it. The guy was quick to make it and got out of there in less than 10 minutes. Sometimes they even have one buy get one through Uber eats as well. Parking was relatively easy but I think it was dead that day. Not a lot of foot traffic, and I can only assume that if it's actually lunch time and everyone is working it would be busy.

    #12 Italian Jungle $13.20

    With a name like Sandwich Monkey...I am very curious.  First of all the shop is part of an apartment complex.  There is parking but most of the parking spots are marked "visitor parking". We phoned in our order when we realized that when you order online it goes thru Grubhub. Wanted to make sure the shop did not have to pay any service fees. We ordered: The  #12 - Italian Jungle($13.20)  on a sweet roll.  Loaded with veggies... artichoke hearts, pepperoncinis, and the normal sandwich veggies.  There was supposed to be oregano and a garlic sauce.... but honestly I did not taste any of that.  There was a real thin layer of salami, capicola, mortadella and provolone .  Honestly the sandwich is a bit on the bland side.  I could barely taste the vinegar but nothing really stood out.   The #02 - Monkey's Uncle ($12.50) on Dutch Crunch.  The mistake here is this is a toasted sandwich...as you might imagine what happens when you toast Dutch Crunch.... the top of the roll was well charred... so it will shred the roof of your mouth much more efficiently.  This is their interpretation of a warmed Reuban.   Really good sandwich... the meat to bread to filling ratio was pretty good and this was actually a decent value.  The sauerkraut is not overpowering...it was a really good balance of flavor.   -- Jerry G.

    I love deli sandwiches. They're my favorite lunch food. This place bummed me out from the gitgo. The staff seemed disinterested and unhappy. There were no smiles or even a hello. The music was loud, too, for some reason. Everything seemed odd. Anyway, I had to tell the guy that it was my first time. He gave me a few of the popular choices and I settled on the pastrami and also a turkey avacado. Long story short. The pastrami sandwich was terrible. There was no flavor. The sandwich fell apart and was messy (see picture). Parts of the roll were hard like it was stale. It was just a bummer. I didn't finish it and I finish everything. I just powered through my $40 lunch as best I could. The rest I balled up and threw the rest away. The turkey avacado wasn't much better. Management: Turn down the music. Train your staff on attitude and customer service. A smile goes a long way. Instead of a number just ask the customer for their name. I was the only one waiting and your employee kept yelling "Thirty six! Thirty six!". And please train them on making a good sandwich. You're expensive so it better be great.

    9. Avocado Gobble Sandwich - Starving sized it's as long as my elbow to my finger tips! It's a biggie!
    Tiffany M.

    Well, now I gots me a go-to sammich shop near the hood! The Yelp reviews really hold true to their near 5 star ranking. These Sandwich Monkeys make a dang great sammie! Everything is so fresh!! It's re-FRESH-ing to have such fresh, excellent quality sammie. Nestled at the base of a nice apartment complex, Sandwich Monkey makes some fantastic sammiches. I ordered the #9 Avo Gobble on sweet roll. Every ingredient is thinly sliced and super fresh. I love their turkey, shredded lettuce, a few thinly sliced red onions, American cheese slices, yellow mustard and mayo. You have a choice of (2) sizes; Hungry or Starving. I ordered Starving just to see the sizing. It's massive, about from my elbow to my fingers tips massive. The sweet roll is perfection! You're given many bread options but I'm partial to sweet rolls. It's not scrawny and it's not a big bunch of bread. Overall, I really enjoy this sammie. I ate half later. Next time I'll order Hungry sized sammie. I'm sad I haven't found them sooner. They've been around for many years and do some serious sammich making. A little side note, one of my first jobs was working in a very popular NY style deli making sammies. Peeps loved my sammies so much they would request me to make them. These sammies threw me back to those sammies, especially the turkey meat. I have not had great turkey sammie meat like this since back at that first job. On my breaks I would make myself sammies. Man, I was living the dream in my teens, haha. The owners loved me because I was very honest and trustworthy. Very nostalgic, loved it! If you're in Foster City, looking for a sammie, give them a try. You better be hangry, too. Cheers!

    Super disappointed! We visit this place often but today I am especially bummed. I understand price increases BUT please please make an exceptional sandwich. Asked for no onion on both sandwiches but got onion on both . Asked for extra mayo on both sides of bread but did not get that and got extra mustard on one of them. Both sandwiches are dry. For $42.85 I am really sad that my order was not made correctly. Definitely will be trying out new sandwich spots.

    12 Italian Jungle Sandwich

    Very disappointed in the sandwich I got. The picture says it all. I felt like I was eating a vegetarian sandwich. I've order Italian jungle from this place before and it was fine, maybe I got unlucky and it was an off day. But looking at the other reviews, maybe they're cutting back. Bread was also soggy, even though I ate the sandwich within 5 minutes of pick up. I've been to other sandwich joints like Mr Pickles or Ike's that give at least double the meat

    This used to be my favorite sandwich place in Foster City, I remember when it opened... Is it still owned by the same family?

    Yes still owned by the same family I remember when we first opened and you did a shout out for us on your radio show !! Hope all is well hope to see you soon

    What is the safari sauce?

    It’s a spicy ranch that we make in house

    I had a raging craving for banh mi, but I didn't want to haul ass to the south bay (duc huong is…read morestill my favorite). M sandwiches pleasantly surprised me with its warm crusty bread, crisp tender bbq pork, and fresh cilantro and pickled veggies. The place is tiny - really no seating indoors and just a few chairs outside - but I'm adding this spot to my regular to-go rotation. I love that they give you potato chips with every sandwich, and unwrapping every sandwich that has the twine tied around it feels like you are unbundling a treasure. One tip - I thought the grilled lemongrass beef sandwich would be similar to the bbq pork one, but the beef was more like a meatloaf. Still good! Just not what I was expecting.

Ordered the special again, except I found hair in my food, so we stopped going. (We did report the issue right away and the owner refunded us the money.) 3. We recently went back and ordered the original, it's good, but the special is better imo, but also more expensive. 4. We found out the had bun Bo hue on weekends so we had to go back and try it out. My husband and I shared one bowl and a banh mi, we both thought it was one of the better bun Bo hue in the area, the chili paste was so delicious and spicy which was a plus! 5. I'm writing this review today because I was craving the bun Bo hue, so I called in my order and the owner told me it would take 25-30mins, whatever it was a Friday lunch, completely understandable. I timed my walk perfectly since I was only 2 blocks away, but when I started eating my food it wasn't even hot, so the food had already been sitting there for some time...what really set me off was the portion size...$19.95 is way too overpriced for the amount of noodle and meat that were given in the bowl...too bad we don't live in SoCal.

    WHAT IN THE DELICATESSEN IS GOING ON HERE AT MO'S??!!…read more First, check out my pics, then absolutely get here as soon as possible to enjoy some crazy delicious sammies and other treats! Tiny little baby deli on the edge of Belmont and San Carlos border, nice peeps serving up some seriously nice quality deli goodness. Tiny shopping center on El Camino Real with baby parking lot, lots of street parking free on the boulevard. I ordered the Sanburger 2 and chocolate croissant. Words cannot do the sammie justice, except that it's a dang Big Mac, but no burger and healthy! Whaaaaattt???!! Yes, you read that right. I want to eat this sammie everyday. Recommendation, get the sammie as they serve it for the Big Mac replica effect. There are Sanburgers 1-5. The one I ordered is 2, roast beef. They melt the American cheese on the sliced roast beef, then placed on the sesame seeded bun with shredded lettuce, mustard, MO's special sauce and lots of lovin'. When I took my first bite, I said out loud, "Am I eating a Big Mac?!" Very creative are these folks. The chocolate croissant speaks for itself. It's fully loaded flaky croissant goodness and it's huge! Head over to Mo's for an excellent sammie experience! Plan for to-go as it is very tiny, however, there are tables and outside area, too. The location used to be a Subway for years. Very nice new flavor in town. I believe they opened in 2024. I will definitely return!
