Came here during dinner time on a Monday, came to see what the rave was about. No customers, small restaurant and VERY hot. Pros: the concept was pretty neat. Different sandwhiches representing different countries. Efficient service and kind staff. Cons: there's no air conditioning, or fans so it's either you eat it fast or come prepared in lighter clothing. Expensive. Meat to bread ratio is off. Too much meat for a soggy bread. Got the Kingston sandwhich and something seemed missing. Like cheese or some more vegetables. Also, The bread was too hard for my liking and not the sort of bread that would compliment the ingredients inside. I don't know if I would come back here, because the price of the sandwhich is too high for a low quality sandwhich/sub. read more

This is a small hidden sandwich shop. However, it was worth walking from Farragut to here just for lunch. The sandwiches are really amazing and delicious. I tried the food truck version and really walked out of my way to try the real thing and I do not regret it. When I think about a good sandwich place in DC, I think about this place and for good reasons: It is DELICIOUS. Perfect place for lunch if you can endure the wait. I would not come to this place for dinner as there are much better options for dinner. It is a must try if you are near the area. The location of this place is the turn off. I wish is was closer to.... anywhere closer to the center. It is just too hard to go to. I will definitely come back if I am ever close to the area. Other than that, it holds a reserved spot on my tongue as being a delicious sandwich place. read more

They make great sandwiches here and this is my first time here. I ordered the Caprese sandwich and it's probably one of the best Caprese sandwiches for the price. Normally Caprese sandwiches from other places are watery and just don't taste good. This sandwich hit the spot. I cannot wait until SUNdeVICH opens shop in Georgetown!!! read more

I came in at around 12:30pm on a Tuesday and it wasn't crowded! The restaurant is very cramped though, so I could see how it could reach capacity quickly. I ordered the Seoul which is one of their more expensive sandwiches at $12, most of them are around $10. I also added a fried egg which was $1, so $13 for a sandwich. My order came quickly and it tasted pretty good! Flavorful and made fresh. I would only note that the meat used for the Seoul was not reminiscent of bulgolgi in texture, it was more so in taste. While I do have half a sandwich waiting for me to eat later in the day today, I'm still hesitant about paying so much again. read more

Not a sit down place but the selected sandwiches are delicious. Today I had the Buenos Aires and boy was it a yummy. If you are in the area and are looking for a bite on the road. This joint is the bomb. read more

I found the instanbul sandwich to be quite pleasing. the kefta kabob in it was surprisingly tender and there's plenty of mint to really help the tzaziki pop. I'll probably go back and give the madrid a try. read more

Every cool city needs a hipster sandwich place and SUNdeVICH is that for DC. Their main location (they have a food truck too) is near Blagden Alley (great part of DC) in a converted garage. There's not much seating, but most people get their sandwich to go. Having grown up overseas, I love that each sandwich is named after a major city around the world. read more

This place is great for grabbing a quick bite to eat on a Saturday afternoon. The minute you hit the door, you can smell a ton of spices and seasonings. The sandwiches are awesome and I loved that it was tucked in an alley. It makes it feel like a hidden treasure only locals would know about. read more

Serving sandwiches, each with a different country's style, makes this shop stand out from other sandwich shops. We decided on Cairo, Havana, and Seoul and we were not disappointed. Seoul was the stand out favorite but the 3 were all so different that was it great to try all of the flavors. Great bread that's firm on the outside and chewy on the inside. A little gem of a shop! read more

Take a tour of the world with sandwiches inspired from numerous international cities. Sundewich does it right - fresh, local, high quality ingredients, and prepared on site. No wonder the line can stretch out the door. There are foodies in DC that don't mind paying $11-$13 for a sandwich. Warning: There is minimal to no atmosphere with communal tables and bench stools. But, Hey, you go here to eat, not sit and be pampered. The service is efficient and fast and you are sure to meet someone interesting to talk to. read more

O m g. The seoul sandwich is honestly my favorite sandwich in DC. I could probably eat it once a week!

Got the Beirut and was disappointed. Meat was flavorful but chewy and cut in larger chucks that made it difficult to eat. Not enough pickled veggies. Everything was a hefty extra charge. Got the sandwich, chips, and a tea for $20. On the plus side the bread was fresh. The sandwich was huge ~10 inches so enough for 2 meals for me. But too expensive overall and very crowded + very long wait during prime lunch hours. read more

Good concept with lots of diverse, inspired worldy sandwiches, but I thought the flavors were too strong in the potato salad, and after a few bites, my Istanbul was too much. Maybe I was having an off day. I did fall in love with the Cherry Cola. Good stuff! Plus, the seating and restaurant are super cute and charming. Very farm to table like. read more

Sandwiches galore! SUNdeVICH is perfect for those moments when you've had Subway and Potbelly far too many times and need a sandwich with a little OOMPH. Sure you'll pay a little more but SUNdeVICH has a little creative something for everyone. I had the pleasure of trying the Shiraz and what a pleasure it was! Tender beef tongue on a nice crusty baguette with a generous smear of tangy mustard to wake up your senses. It's not easy to get tongue cooked that that kind of tender perfection but SUNdeVICh really took the time to get it just right. Speaking of time, these sandwiches come out pretty fast. Another plus on top of the high quality. If you're not feeling quite adventurous enough, they've got a 15 other sandwiches with more familiar (albeit combined creatively) ingredients to tickle your fancy. If you've got a bit of a sweet tooth, I also recommend getting a nutter butter, their homemade version of the same cookie, but this time with a more crumbly, slightly less sweet, cookie and fluffier filling. I also kind of love that SUNdeVICH is hidden away in an alley, perfect if you're looking for a peaceful place to sandwich. Just be aware that the shop itself is pretty tiny with a few barstools and two 4-person tables, so this might not be a great place for a group outing. read more

Some of the best sandwiches in DC. If you are near the Convention Center, it is a no-brainer. Bread is exceptional; hard on the outside, soft on the inside. Got the Lima (the roast chicken was the best I have had) and the Buenos Aires. read more

Oh, how I wanted to love this place. I spent a good while looking at the menu wanting EVERY sandwich. I even got defensive reading previous reviews, "would you stop bitching about the price already!? You know that going in!" But I was just not impressed. Here's what I tried: -Beirut: Meat was kind of stringy and the sandwich lacked substance. -Cairo: Strange mix with an overpowering taste of cilantro. -Capri: Totally basic. I make better at home. -Moscow: Bland egg and chicken salad. -Seoul with a fried egg: My favorite of the bunch. The meat was very nice and tender. I wish it would have been spicier. It somehow still lacked flavor. -Egg plant dip: My oh my, can I have just this for dinner? It's so smokey and wonderful I just couldn't stop dipping! -Potato salad: I usually don't like potato salad, but this one was very good! Not at all mayonaisey and wonderfully spiced. -Brined vegetables: Gross, just gross. None of us liked these. So my take away? The sides were great, but the sandwiches didn't wow me. None of them were bad so to say, but all of them needed a flavor kick of some sort. I will say the ingredients were fresh and generous, but they were just bland. The sides, on the other hand were very good! Oh, and confession: Bland sandwich experiences aside, I still want to try the Paris! And yes, I'm a sandwich snob. read more

This place opens at noon, yet has an amazing menu of breakfast sandwiches! I recommend the Paris (ham, egg, Gruyere, greens, mustard) for a tasty sandwich when you can't decide between breakfast or lunch. After your sandwich, stop by La Colombe down Blagden Alley for the best coffee/espresso you can find in DC! read more

I ordered the Beruit, which is a steak sandwich with tomatoes, hummus, and some type of marinated veggies. It was OK. The steak was badly overcooked, but the bread and veggies were really fresh. The hummus was so so. Paid $15. read more

If you're a vegetarian, walk in with some swag and say, "I'll just have the Cairo...and I'll have a spicy Cole slaw with that!" Then somewhere halfway through that sandwich, you'll hit "PAY" on your Chase iPhone app and reward me for recommending this place. Don't mention it. And don't pay me, just eat here. Was here on a conference at the Walter Washington Conv Center and refused to eat the industrial food warmer lunches on offer. Instead, walked a few blocks over to here and felt like I was in a corner of Chicago's Humboldt Park. You can always stop by at La Colombe and grab a house coffee beforehand. What a classy neighborhood. Amazing sundevich-es?? Maybe, pay me?? Oh, and the carnivores seemed pretty content in there too... read more

SUNdeVICH - That all it takes for sheer sandwich brilliance!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

You'll have the best sandwich in the area. The bread is homemade and the ingredients are top-notch. The quality is the same since Day 1 of when they opened. There is still a line, even after 1pm and we're talking about a sandwich shop that's not in a business district. It's worth the walk or call in an order have someone from the office pick up. Go with a small group, 4 or under, very limited seating inside. Maybe close seating for 15 or 20 people. It's really 4.75 stars. Just a slight shave off for the environment and lack of enough Tzacki (sp?) sauce on sandwich. I got the Athens which is lamb chunks with greens, tomatoes, and yogurt sauce. It's $13 and with tax and a drink the total was $16.25.. BUT it's two meals. In fact, even as first meal of the day, I couldn't even finish the first half. You'll find the sandwich shop in Naylor Court. Landmarks BP gas station on 9th, make a left into Naylor Court. 10th St, turn right into the court when you see the sign that says DC Office Office of Public records. read more

Too small of portion sizes for the price. Sandwiches taste good but need two of them to be full.

Sundevich is a quaint sandwich shop located in a converted garage serving a variety of made to order sandwiches each themed to a different country. For example, the "Athens" sandwich is essentially a gyro while the "Capri" sandwich is more or less a caprese. The ingredients are fresh and the sandwiches are tasty, though I do think the baguettes are a bit heavy/substantial, so if you're on a low carb diet, you might opt for the sandwiches to be made as a salad instead. There are a handful of sides and other items are well but the essence of the menu consists of probably around 20 sandwiches. The restaurant itself is fairly small with very limited seating and not much ambiance. Most people opt to order their sandwich to go. Overall it's worth a visit if you're in the Shaw neighborhood or want to take world tour by way of sandwiches. read more

They cut off the ends of your sandwich! They literally cut off the heels of your hero and try to sell it back to you. I saw them cut off the ends of the sandwich. I asked the employee if I could get the ends. They said what are ends. I said the part of the sandwich you just cut off. They said I would have to pay extra to buy my ends back with dipping sauces. I told them i didnt want dipping sauces just the whole sandwich. This was very very scary. As i believe the ends are the best part of the sandwich. DO NOT GO HERE. As it sets the wrong precedent. I've never seen anything like this. Look at the photos and you'll see I'm right. WTF. read more

This spot is great relative to most sandwich places in DC. Like any long menu, your experience will be informed by the sandwich you get, because some are better than others. The Madrid (chorizo, chimichurri) and the Buenos Aires (steak, onions and chimichurri) are my favorites. Anything named after a city in the Middle East or Central Asia is fine, but you'll do better going to a shawarma or falafel spot for those. My husband loves the Kingston. My only criticism of this place is that the quality of food is 100% on the weekends, but way too greasy on weekdays. I'm not sure if they have different cooking crews for each, but I wish whatever the weekend cooks are doing would be replicated by whomever is staffing it on a Friday. read more

Great sandwiches in a funny alley location. Fillings for the sandwiches span the globe with each getting a name from the city of inspiration. Personal favorites include the Kingston and Buenos Aires (the chimichurri is truly spectacular). The space is small so I like to take my sandwich to go. The quality ingredients and unique spices make trying new sandwiches a joy. One of my favorite spots in DC! read more

Here from California and all I can say is I wish we had a SUNdeVICH!!!! A great hole-in-wall, secrete just off the main road!

This place is amazing! Food was delicious and Jose provided excellent customer service! Will be back!

Excellent Sandwiches. Great vibe. You can get any sandwich as a salad, fyi!

This is one of my new favorite sandwich shops in DC. It is kind of a hidden gem, with being down an alleyway in Shaw, but it is well worth the mini adventure it is to get to it. Their menu is extensive, if admittedly a bit pricy, and has sandwiches that cover the entire globe with their tastes and names. Like their sandwiches are literally named after cities all around the world and the ingredients of each sandwich represents the tastes and culture of the city it is named after. I chose to go with the Buenos Aires sandwich, which consisted of steak, sautéed onions, and chimichurri. It was a heartily sized and filled sandwich and I would definitely get it again if there weren't so many other sandwiches on the menu that I wanted to try. My only complaint about it is that it could have used a little more chimichurri, as it was a little plain, but the steak was very nice. Overall, I will definitely be back and my only suggestion would be if they could take a dollar or two off of their sandwiches, since they are a bit pricey. read more

Some sandwiches are worth a sacrifice. You can wait 45 minutes at The Italian Store with Arlington's Lululemon-clad soccer moms, squeezed between dried pasta and smelly European toothpaste while snooty NOVAns complain about the "cannoli temp." But you know what you're getting. You leave smiling, and you're right to be happy. If you close your eyes, the sandwich is like an old Italian butcher is slicing fresh provolone and dried prosciutto directly into your mouth. You can join Dupont Circle's drab, buttoned-up consultants as they shell out an outrageous $18 for an Italian Hoagie each Friday at Bub and Pop's. You only cringe for a moment. Your reward is heavenly. As it does for the consultants, the sandwich brightens your otherwise soul-sucking week. The ingredients are pure and rewarding; your sandwich was made with love. SUNdeVICH, on the other hand, would only be worth eating if it were free. If I close my eyes while eating a sub from SUNdeVICH, I have visions of a baffled owner tediously unwrapping a pre-made airport sandwich from its cling-wrap packaging, re-wrapping it in waxed butcher paper, and handing it to me before punching me in the mouth and demanding $13. The menu at SUNdeVICH is a tour de force of false promise. The trendy chalkboard sets the stage for a Shaw-chic, capital "F" foodie experience, with "local ingredients, international flavor." Beware: this is a Potemkin Sandwich. The sandwiches, and the gum-tearing vessels they arrive on, are large; they contain multitudes. This only magnifies their flaws. On my seventh visit to SUNdeVICH, after six overpriced, tasteless subs, I branched out from the core choices, searching for the shop's appeal like a broken man grasping for his own soul. Have you ever paid $11 for a dry, stale piece of bread covered in what appeared to be Safeway's potato salad? I have. I rue the day. It's called "The Moscow." There is no redemption here despite your wallet's sacrifice. That said, if you've found yourself prostrate before the sandwich counter, having eaten a hollow sandwich for an exorbitant price, don't panic. Walk north a couple blocks, enter Dacha, and wash your sorrows away at the bottom of a boot of mediocre German beer. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Have been coming here since they debuted. Love the play on sandwiches from small towns in the Middle East. Great flavor. Sandwiches are decently sized. Staff is super helpful and friendly. Can't wait to go back. I'd recommend going with more than one person so you can try a few of their sandwiches. Otherwise, you just won't be able to pick one! read more

Love the aesthetics of the shop. Came for a quick lunch date and couldn't have asked for a chiller location. Got the lima love the garlic mayo they used. Also, they do have a set menu but everything is super tasty and you can add meats and take off things. Salads are really lovely as well. read more

Had the Beirut Sandwich minus the hummus. Steak was good, ingredients were nice and fresh. Friendly staff and great ambience. Only downside is the $14 price and the hard bread. Bread wasn't stale or anything, I am just not a fan of the gumskiller firm bread. I prefer a softer bread like Subway's. That being said, I may try it again. Seems some other sandwiches had a different roll. read more
