Sandwich connoisseur from New York gives it a thumbs up. Go to school at UMD and woke up real hungover. Took the trip with friends. Definitely worth it. Put Siracha on everything. They should get some bigger cups for the water. I aint a child. read more

I have only ever eaten from their food truck, but it is excellent. Their Cuban style sandwich (which they call the havana) is top notch.

This was the perfect break from a very crowded convention center. Even though we had to sit on the ground in the alley, it was an enjoyable lunch - very good sandwiches. read more

Eat here as often as you can! The Seoul with a fried egg on top is a piece of heaven smacked in between two pieces of, crispy on the outside doughy on the inside, bread. read more

Amazing sandwiches in a neighborhood without a lot of spots to eat quick (between Convention Ctr and Shaw). Sandwiches named after cities from every continent, ingredients so much more interesting than the usual american or italian subs read more

I will qualify this review by saying their bread is absolutely fantastic. Firm on the outside, chewy on the inside and delicious all over. I wonder if they sell their bread because... The sandwich I ordered on my first trip, the Kingston, which had garlic mayo, pineapple salsa and "jerk chicken" somehow ended up tasting totally bland. It was basically a chicken barbecue sandwich without any natural flavoring or any sauce to make up for it. I'm actually almost amazed that those flavors could come together to produce something so uninteresting. However, I went back and ordered the Istanbul on my second trip, and that was MUCH better. I think you just have to order correctly here. Prices are a bit higher than some places but if you can eat one of their sandwiches in one sitting, you have an impressive appetite. read more

Great sandwiches, friendly staff and quick service. Seriously... Good fkn sandwiches.

Amazing sandwiches! Avocado lovers rejoice with a Lima sandwich! It's just sooooo good!

This place is awesome. Best sandwich in DC hands down. Persian with a twist. Could use more interior space. Food is great

In my personal opinion, SUNdeVICH is one of the top sandwich spots in the district. When I went a couple weeks ago, I split the Buenos Aires as well as the Greek sandwich and just could not be happier with my selections. The lamb is literally incredible; it just has this perfect hint of mint that makes every bite better than the next. The best aspect about this hidden gem, is that all of their ingredients are so fresh and you just taste that in their food. I consider myself a bit of a foodie so please understand that when I call this place incredible, it truly is incredible. read more

Their Berlin sandwich is awesome! Plus, it's cheap for such a huge sub. It took me two lunches to finish it - not bad for $11. Also, the staff is really nice. I'll be back! read more

Our go to neighborhood sandwich stop. Perfect for a casual date or a quick bite on the run. I love the Seol and my girlfriend is obsessed with the Beirut. read more

Best sandwiches in the city. When I go there, it is hard for me to get anything but the Seoul. I have gotten the Buenos Aires, and the Beirut. The Buenos Aires is great, but steak was a little charred and I don't love cilantro. Similar with the Beirut, a little too heavy on the cilantro. That being said, this is an amazing sandwich place. I buy two sandwiches each time that I go, so that I can try more than one! read more

Top notch sandwhiches. Egg plant dip is great too. And if nothig sounds perfect too they will let you make changes.

Located on one of the nicest alley's in DC, this off the beaten path place has a nice board of original sandwiches with in-house ingredients. First time I had the Beirut which was top-notch! The brined vegetables were out of this world in complementing the steak. The roles use on all sandwiches are crispy but break away so it's not difficult to chew or tear up the inside or your mouth. Second time I had the Berlin which was simple, filling and delicious. You have to be a fan of grain mustard and sauerkraut ( which was a bit briny for my taste) but still damn good. Third time I had the Moscow. Nice and quick in prep since they didn't have to cook anything. I was a bit skeptical of the tast because I'm not a gherkin fan, but the flavors were perfectly blended. And it's a serious portion of chicken salad too! The reason for not giving this place 5 stars was because in this sandwich I cut the back of my mouth on a piece of chicken bone, which I thought was a bit careless in the prep. All the sandwiches are perfectly blended with an original selection of elements which don't ever seem to over power the other. You can taste everything the sandwich is made up of. This shows care went into the creation of these! The atmosphere is not huge but can hold a decent amount of people. It is comfortable, plain and simple. Great place to bring people from out of town who want something low key and DC. read more

It was recommended by Andrew Evans, @WheresAndrew (National Geographic's DIGITAL NOMAD), and I went there at my first opportunity this January. Great little shop, fresh yummy bread, and great tasty choices. I had Athens and Buenos Aires (I could not decided!) and both were very deliciously seasoned. Highly recommend for anyone who's visiting the Convention Center in DC. read more

Best sandwiches I've had in DC. Being so close to the convention center is one more plus. They could use a smoked meat choice, but there is enough variety to keep you busy all week. And the subs are enough to keep you going the rest of the day. Wouldn't try to eat in, it's too tiny, but wonderful for take away. read more

Not good for anyone with kids or elderly. It's more of a pick up spot- not convenient for dining in. The meat on the lamb sandwich was not prepared right to go on a sandwich. Big chunks from a kabob- it was easier to eat it with a knife and fork. Same with the tongue- I've had tongue sandwich before and it's always shredded- this was literally big chunks of tongue- tastebuds and all . Not for me- won't be coming back. read more

I've been to this location 3 times. Each time I hope for better results. Overall the sandwiches are not special. Today I got the Kingston. It is supposed to be a jerk chicken sandwich, what I got was old chicken, very bland but spicy, and it seemed like it was heated in a microwave. The worst sandwich of the three I had tried. The cramped space doesn't make it inviting and for 11 bucks I expect fresh ingredients. read more

The best sandwiches in the city. The portions are big and tasty. I wish they had fries! They should also consider providing pickled veggies with their sandwiches as complimentary. read more

I tried the Cairo and the Isfahan which were good, but nothing amazing. I'm happy that this place has alternatives for vegetarians, but I wouldn't come here again. Maybe just for a baguette if they sold it to me separately. I really like the feel of this place, but the service was less than desirable. read more

Once again D.C. neighborhoods harbor a unique gem worthy of a stop by anyone who loves a wonderful meal and appreciates quality food! I had the Athens sandwich and the hummus. I had a craving and a serious Jones for hummus up to the caliber from mine and my fiancés trip to Cairo! Seriously, Cairo has the best hummus ever... back to Sundevich: the hummus was absolutely delicious! So good in fact that I was only able to finish half the sandwich. The sandwich makes any gyro stand in awe of how things should really exist according to my pallet! So if you're down around Shaw check this place out! read more

I love Persian food so I was tipped off about some of the Sandwiches at Sundevich. At first I was a bit worried because of its location in an alley way. But after receiving my Shiraz Sandwich and testing it. I can assure you that the quality of meat here is high. Even though 10+ dollars may be much, it is worth it. Between the bread there are loads of meat. The Sandwich I had was filled with delicious sour spices and cow tongue! read more

Had the Buenos Aires. Mediocre. Chimmichurri didn't give much flavor. Probably worth 3 stars, but the $13 price tag makes it 2. Will try something else next time, but this place seems a mile behind Taylor read more

Came because I needed lunch and was sitting at Compass Coffee down the street. Originally just wanted a basic lunch but nothing in walking distance met that need. So I went to SUNdeVICH and got the Buenos Aires. The steak in it was absolutely phenomenal. The portion size justified the high price, in addition to the high quality meat and ingredients. Inside of the shop is very cool, with great music and friendly faces. read more

Sundevich is a great new sandwich place in a city devoid of good sandwich places. The Kingston, Beirut, and Capri are all delicious. The Buenos Aires was also good. I didn't love the Cairo as it was a bit too dry but overall this is one of the top sandwich places in DC (it joins Jetties as the top two in my book, with the A Litteri, the Italian Store, and Mangialardos as the best for an Italian...don't even get me started on the ridiculously overrated Taylor Gourmet). Love the unique sandwich combinations and how every sandwich (and steak) is cooked to order. And people $10-12 is not pricey for a big sandwich with the quality ingredients this place has. Just wish it was opened on Sunday for my NFL lunch fix. read more

I'm not sure what all the hype is about at this place. Our concierge raved about it when we were looking for a place close by to grab a quick bite. So we thought yes, let's definitely go there. We got there about 10 minutes before they opened for lunch so we hung out outside. Suddenly a long line starts to form so we get in it. We are pumped at this point. If people come in the heat to wait in line before it opens, it must be the worlds greatest sandwich! Finally, they open. We eventually get to the counter and order. I got the Paris, and my husband got the Cairo. I also got an orange cream soda. We sit down (we got lucky because there is hardly any seating) and I open my soda. It is flat. That's disappointing but I'm definitely not jumping back in line to swap it. After a short wait, our sandwiches are ready. We dig in and....meh. Sadly, they are not what we expected after all the buildup. The Paris was ok but the bread was super hard making it difficult to eat. My husband said the Cairo was just ok. Maybe they were bad picks? I don't know but with those crazy high prices, we both agreed we probably wouldn't ever go back. read more

Unique, yummy sandwiches. Also they're a good size too; could feed two kind of hungry people or one really hungry person. Would recommend.

A bit on the expensive side but sandwiches are so big really, two can share. Had the Buenes Aires Bread is very good. Seating is tight and no place to hang coats or place bags while sitting on bar stools. Went on a late winter day but maybe they put out seating outside during warm weather? read more

I came here to use an expired Living Social deal. I wanted to use the amount I paid for the deal towards a couple sandwiches, but the manager said she couldn't help me b/c I didn't have the voucher # (LS hides the # after a deal expires). I suggested she search for my name in her LS account, but she didn't think that would work and assumed I was there for a free sandwich. When I said I just want to get $10 off my order, she finally agreed and asked for my name, searched the LS database, and there was my name. That's all she had to do in the first place, but instead gave me grief. The sandwich I had was good, but not worth going back and giving the them my business again. I agree with another reviewer in that Taylor Gourmet is way better. read more

This place is consistently great. Alot of unique sandwiches (i.e. - Tehran), never had a disappointing sandwich.

jerk chicken sandwich is unreal. fyi: the door is down an alley and kind of hard to find.

Very unique sandwich options. The kingston sandwich was great. Prices are a little on the higher side but the ingredients seem to be high quality. Example: the pineapple salsa was made with real pineapple, not canned. read more

Damn good sandwich!!!! I had the Atlas which was full of juicy lamb! Damn good sandwich

this place in the bomb. the instanbull is probably the best sang in dc. wasn't too impressed with their sides. cool vibes! amazing bread! read more

They make wonderful sandwiches here. It is a perfect getaway while working at the Washington Convention Center. I have had the Athens, Kingston, Paris and Havannah. All are great and worth trying but I would say don't pass on the Athens. read more

While househunting, my friend said nothing about proximity to the metro, area crime, good gyms, etc. She remarked, "That's so close to Sundevich!" The sandwiches are seriously tasty, especially the Seoul (but beware the garlic mayo). The only thing that could make it better is if there were a spot to lock up bikes in the alley. read more

The Seoul is amazing!!! A must try place. All the sandwiches and sides are to die for!!!!

the salads and sandwiches are absolutely delicious. everything is completely fresh, so yes, sometimes it takes a little while for them to cook the meat because they're not just warming up already cooked meat. i can't remember which sandwich it was, but there was one that was once a on the really salty side...not sure what happened there. but great food overall. it's a bit pricey, but that's for the quality. also, typically places charge you extra for protein (chicken, tofu, etc) on your salads. sundevich does as well, but they really give you a good helping of chicken whenever you order a salad with chicken. so even though it costs $3, much better than when i pay a couple bucks somewhere else for 3 or 4 slices of heated up tysons grilled chicken strips. read more

Amazing sandwich options and generous portion size. I was on cloud nine. I had the Kingston, and loved the flavor combo of spicy jerk chicken and sweet notes like pineapple. Will definitely go again and work my way through the rest of the menu! read more
