We have been going here for years! This is a family business right across from Blizzard (I believe they are former employees). You will often seen the owners working the line here too. They will take the time to talk to you and know you. That's how you know that a restaurant has passion and soul. It even shows in their food! The restaurant itself is a bit small, but there is also outside seating too. We sometimes come and get their bfast burritos. But the sandwiches are where it's at! Can't go wrong with the Korean BBQ Beef. Unfortunately, if you try to bring this sandwich home it will often get soggy because of the bulgogi juices and the slaw. Keep that in mind and eat it fresh, you'll get a wonderful crunch from the bread! I also alternate from the Chicken Club and BLT here. The club is so surprisingly juicy for a chicken breast. BLT is so simple, yet so good from that glazed bacon. Each sandwich comes with homemade chips, which you can also tell they make in-house. Yes, sandwiches run a bit pricy. It's Irvine, and also the sizing of the sandwiches are quite big. Tip: You can pay extra to replace the chips with tots, and it's so worth! They always come crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yum!
Coworkers recommended this place. First time visit. Pastrami sandwich was the special. The pastrami was sliced thin but that didn't help the toughness of it. I literally took three bites of this sandwich and could not chew or finish it. The meat was tough. It was like chewing a piece of rubber or the sole of your shoe. The potato chips (homemade) had an after taste of fish to them. Spent 25 dollars and three dollar tip = 28 for a sandwich, coke, and chips. Not worth it. Won't be back!
This place is amazing! Been ordering their food off Uber Eats and Doordash for sometime now but decided to go in person today for breakfast since I was in the area. I am really loving the atmosphere. Of course, incredible food as well--ordered their breakfast sandwiches with tater tots. One with ham and one with sausage. Both perfectly toasted and served with ketchup and ranch on the side to accompany the tots. Service was super fast and polite. Will definitely be coming back!
This is the first time ever my rating is low based on price loan. A chicken club with chips should not cost me $25. Yeah the food was good, but I could have made the same thing at home. It is a cute little shop family owned with a nice ambience and the service was good. But none of that justifies their prices. It is near a lot of business and medical centers with not too many other food options so I understand why and how they have their high prices. $2.75 just to add avocado to an already $19 sandwich. The bread was just a burger bun. Apparently their sauces are housemate though so I'll give them that the thousand island sauce was good but still not worth the price.
Really crowded and seating was an issue, but worth the wait. The Korean Beef BBQ sandwich was amazing and I'll definitely be back.
Really good sandwich spot! I had the bulgogi sandwich with extra toppings and their house made chips and it turned out amazing. I really want to try their other options like the pastrami sandwich and their cheesecake the next time I go. They seem to come up with new things regularly so that's really cool. The staff keep the place very clean and were quick and patient. Will definitely be going back in the future.
Tried this place a few years ago. I was in the area and had to get it again! So so delicious
I have never had such a deep connection with the owner of a restaurant before, and I believe that we experienced something truly special today. As if motivated by forces beyond the realm of our dimensions, my 16-year-old son said "I really like that guy." when Bruce the owner walked in. I asked him how he knew because we didn't know anything about him, but my son was confident that his intuition was accurate. My son had never made any comment about the owner of other restaurants. I found this place on Yelp, and I was worried as we drove into this large complex of commercial office buildings on a Saturday afternoon. All the offices were closed, so why should this little deli be open? Sure enough, there were plenty of customers inside the restaurant and they also do a brisk takeout business. The lady behind the counter greeted us right away, and we wasted no time in placing our orders. I got the locally world famous Korean BBQ sandwich, and my son go the breakfast quesadilla. We were not disappointed as we savored our food. The barbeque meat was well marinated, and the coleslaw with green onion provided a splash of freshness and sharpness to even out the rich meat flavor. The homemade potato chips added the crunch that amplified the whole experience. As we wrapped up eating, Bruce spotted my son's UCLA shirt and decided to chat with us. We traded stories of our UCLA days (I was the class of 1995) and how we weathered the pandemic. I showed him my Ucla tattoo, and he asked about my son's career aspiration. The discussion turned philosophical when we dove into the meaning of a well-lived life. You'll definitely find good sandwiches here, but you'll never find such genuine, heart-felt conversation anywhere else.
I loved breakfast burritos, so when I saw S'wich had one, I had to check them out! If you're indecisive like me and struggle to choose a breakfast protein for your burrito, S'wich makes it easy - they give you both bacon and sausage! It's no ordinary bacon but their house glazed bacon. The breakfast burrito ($14.95) is very potato-heavy. I guess my arteries are thankful that there was one strip of bacon and some sausage pieces scattered throughout for a bit of flavor. It's pretty hefty though - if I had any sense, I'd split it so I wouldn't be too full for lunch. It's a decent burrito - not my fave but one that I've ordered again. Also tried their chilaquiles ($14.95) which were more like chips with eggs, cheese and salsa on top, instead of chips being cooked in the salsa. I would go with the burrito over this one. The staff here is great! Just so friendly and willing to go the extra mile for their customers. I've only come on the weekends when things are quieter. They have seating inside and outside. No online ordering, but you can always just place an order over the phone. Parking in the lot.
Cute spot right across the street from Blizzard HQ. There's some interesting Blizzard related artwork and collectibles from Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo in the store. There are menues for breakfast, sandwiches, burgers and vegetarian. The vegetarian menu includes a grilled cheese, a caprese, a veggie melt and a veggie burger. I had the toasted turkey pesto S'wich and I'm already dreaming of when I can come back Great spot if your in the area for breakfast or lunch.
Woah. Talk about a hidden gem. This place is nestled in the middle of an industrial complex, so I think most of the customers who come here are people who work in the nearby offices. The quality of the sandwiches and super-friendly service really stood out to me. The cashier welcomed my questions as I asked about the daily soups and what she recommended off the menu. I briefly browsed the yelp reviews before ordering, and decided on the Korean beef sandwich, which blew me away. The meal comes with homemade chips, but you can upgrade that for fruits/ salad/another side for another fee. While the meal costs a little under $20, the quality is superb. They made the bulgogi right in front of me, and the meat was perfectly tender and marinated. The combo of coleslaw and the hot beef was heavenly. I saved my other half and airfried it for dinner later that day; it was still delicious. There's plenty of seating both outside and inside the cafe. They're only open for breakfast/lunch, and close at 4pm. I'm definitely coming back to get their sandwiches again soon.

I'm so torn because I want to give this place 5 stars but it left me feeling that 4 stars is good. First off, service was a solid 5/5. Girl taking orders and bringing food out is amazing. Super kind and I felt like she had just welcomed us into her home or something. Drink options were plentiful. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Food is where I'm torn between a 3.5 and 4. Portions are a 5/5. flavor is a 5/5. But what it left me feeling was more like a 3. The chips were delicious but man were they oily. I wanted to eat more but it kept making me feel bloated. My friend got the onion rings and the batter was extremely thick. The onion itself seemed to have just melted into the batter. We swapped sandwiches to try and the slaw in his was just way too thick with the sauce. If I come here again I would have to tailor my ordering towards items that aren't so dense in carbs or oil. And that's coming from a person who can eat 4000 calories of carbs all day long. I think it was just the immense use of oil and aioli. Anyhow... I would definitely come back. read more

We stopped in for a late lunch and split the turkey melt. Boy, was it better than I expected! The sandwich had fresh chunks of turkey not that cheap deli meat. The bread was perfectly toasted. The caramelized onions were grilled to perfection. Don't get me started about that 'wink wink' house thousand island... Even when you think it can't get any better than how this sounds, it's also accompanied with house made chips. Standing ovation everybody. read more

Stopped by since we got hungry waiting for the Laguna Beach Trolley. After walking by the outdoor seating area, the side was ver unassuming and was typical of a business park sandwich shop. Placing my order was very quick and the service was very friendly. Unfortunately though placing the order was fast, getting my order was a different sorry. Not sure if they were just backed up due to online orders, but our breakfast burrito took 20 minutes to make and we almost missed our troller ride. Setting aside how long it took them to make my order, the food was pretty tasty. The tortilla for the breakfast burrito was tender and chewy. The filling was flavorful and eggs well cooked. The chili cheese tots was very rich with the layer of cheese. Definitely something to be shared. Overall a good spot to stop by for a good lunch or breakfast. Just make sure to plan for a bit of a potential wait. read more

My husband and I stopped here this morning to check the place out. Angela was very friendly and took our order. We waited what seemed like just a few minutes and then she served us. We ordered the breakfast burrito ( we shared it ).Let me just say , it was DELICIOUS! It was hot and SO good. The bistro was nicely decorated and quite a relaxed atmosphere. We'll probably come back again & try something different. read more

Stopped here for lunch after a nearby hike. There are a lot of fresh options on the menu and breakfast is served all day Saturday. The restaurant is located in a business park and is very empty on the weekends. There was only one other customer. Unfortunately, our experience was as lukewarm as the coffee we were served. My husband ordered the breakfast burrito. I ordered the French toast. Dining in, I would expect to have real plates and silverware if I am spending $55 on two small meals. Instead, the food came out like it was prepared in a food truck, on cardboard trays. Nothing special about the meals we chose - certainly not worth the price paid. read more

I had the Korean BBQ sandwich and dam. It was wicked. Even the server wanted to eat my food according to her and now I understand why. Try it, it was good. Also tried the O'l Burger. Not bad. Seasoning distribution was a little off. read more

Service was really nice and they did warned that they were a bit slower than usual (since they're understaffed), so it was good that they warned their customers at the front door! Ordering was pretty easy and one of the staff members brings your order to you. There weren't many people here, so the wait wasn't too bad. The sandwiches here are pretty big in my opinion. You can also upgrade your free chips to something like chili cheese tater tots. We tried the KBBQ sandwich and the tuna melt. The KBBQ sandwich surprised us those, it was actually pretty well done. The bulgogi flavored was pretty nice and all the coleslaw they added on top was a nice touch. It can fall all over the place, but this one was pretty good. The tuna melt was really nice as well and was pretty cheesy! The tater tots seemed a bit crazy, but luckily they weren't so heavy tasting or we would feel so gross after. The tater tots were pretty good too. The next time we should do is just upgrade one of our sandwiches since it could be a lot haha. The sandwiches were already kind of a lot, but these were all good options! Definitely would come back to try other things on their menu! read more

Do they have a calorie menu?
I didn't see one. The menu is written up above the grill on cardboard or something. Cool, hippy-dippy vibe. There may be one in a hand menu.
Is it sit down?
Yes, inside and out. Very informal. The owners are culinary school graduates and it really shows in their quality of food and preparation.…
