I believe that they have multiple locations in San Jose but this was on our way to Valley Fair. There was already a line forming when we arrived at noon. We waited about 20 minutes before our order was ready. We ordered 2 large sandwiches - cold cut combo and grilled pork. The bread was light and crispy. We liked that they removed a lot of the breading inside. The meats and condiments also did not disappoint. The quality of the sandwiches were by far the best I've never had. Can't believe it took me so long to stop by but glad I finally did. I wished that they had a location closer to where I live, but this won't stop me from driving here if I ever want a sandwich!!

We…read morenoticed all the different types of buns that was on display so decided to go inside to take a look. Decided to order the Char Siu Bun and it was the best bun I've ever had. It was warm and extremely savory! I also picked up a Pandan Coconut Hawaiian Sweet Rolls and it was just as good as it looked. A typical sweet roll with a hint of coconut and Pandan flavor. Liked that it was fluffy. So glad we stumbled upon this bakery because we wouldn't have been able to experience the delicious bun and sweet roll. Can't wait to stop by again next time I'm in the area and try their other buns!

I rarely go up to San Francisco which has some good bakery shops that makes great pineapple buns. I found this place on Yelp that carries pineapple buns. When I came Sunday evening, they had none left. The cashier said she will set aside some for me the next day for pick up at lunch. Sure enough I was able to get 4 pineapple buns plus I thought I try their bbq pork buns. The pineapple buns were soft and the topping wasn't as flaky as the Hong Kong pineapple buns. The sweetness level and bun were light whereas the Hong Kong is much sweeter and slightly heavier. I say their pineapple bun is decent and their bbq pork bun is smaller than the Hong Kong version. I rate this place a 3.

IYKYK. I drove here…read morehella early in the morning because this place tends to get packed pretty quickly. I ordered a large grilled pork banh mi. The patte was nice and crispy. The sandwich itself is loaded with the perfect meat to veggies ratio. The price is also very reasonable. A small $4.50, large $8.75. Also if you order 4 sandwiches, they will give you a 5th one free. One of the best if not the best banh mi spots in the Bay. Like I said IYKYK. Try it out if you like. :)

My order: #1 grilled pork #6 meatball - w/ garlic bread #7 pork w egg #15 chicken avocado - w/ garlic bread + steak special All were excellent, with my favorite being the pork with egg (the egg just leveled it up). Chicken avocado was unique & avocados they used were so fresh + creamy, yet since it didn't come with pickled veggies, to me it was a little meat-heavy & missing that pickle-y balance. If you don't eat the sandwiches immediately, I highly recommend re-heating them in the toaster, especially if you get the garlic bread! I was there on a random Friday 4:30pm in May 2026 & there was a short line to order inside the store. Afterwards, join the crowd waiting for their # to be called / shown on the screen (which is located to the right of the store entrance). My order was ready in 20 min, which was what staff taking my order estimated for me.

Wow, I wish I came here sooner! Always had my eye on this place since they've opened up here in the…read moreplaza. The location of the store seems a little far away because it's in the corner by Safeway's gas station off to the side, so I imagine some people miss it. So keep an eye out for it next time you're in the mood for some hot subs. Chris, the owner, was so kind and explained everything to us. He was patient, informative, and professional. It's nice to see owners work at times and treat their customers so genuinely! So thank you, Chris! The store is honestly decorated so well. There's details everywhere on the wall, and it's all dedicated to San Jose culture and first responders. The ambiance felt local and cool. Now for the food, my husband ordered the Build Your Own Sub with Pastrami and it was delicious! I ordered their new and off the menu French Dip sub with aus ju and IT WAS SO GOOD. Highly recommend to get it now while they have it! Special notes: - All subs are served hot! - They have a hot sauce bar with unique sauces all leveled off from (1-10). 1 = mild and 10 = spiciest! Affordability: both of our subs came out to be around $20 for two large subs. Some people may view the prices as pricey, but if you get a large sub it's definitely worth it. Check out the photos for reference (I don't think the photos do the large size justice though because they are HUGE) and give Firehouse Sub a try for yourself!

Thought I'd give it a try. I like sandos....err subs. I placed an order online and picked it up without any issues, just the way it should be. My order was ready and waiting for me when I got there. The venue at the corner of a newer shopping plaza. There is a decent amount of seating inside and outside as well along with plenty of parking around. #Sandos: ~ Hook & Ladder - 3.5/5 The most basic one...I think. Smoked Turkey breast, Honey Ham, and melted Monterey Jack cheese, served with lettuce, tomato, onion, no mayo for me, and deli mustard with a pickle spear on the side. The sub were just okay for me, nothing amazing. ~ Firehouse Steak & Cheese (Large) - 3/5 Looks much better in the brochure. It's fine, tasted OK. Nothing to brag about, don't let the sando sit around. Make sure you finish it all at once or it will get soggy... may be its because of the oil and vinegar dressing I opted for? Not sure... The wheat bread is a tad too sweet for my liking and the white bread is just plain and flavorless. I do wish they provided options like Sourdough or Dutch Crunch, which also happen to be healthier for you. I wanted to complain that they were expensive but then realized that's how it is everywhere now. That food inflation is no joke... I'd stop by if nothing was around. Not so sure I need to try other items on the menu.

They definitely don't skimp on the filling, the sandwich was packed with flavorful chicken, and the sauce paired really well without overpowering everything else.

They took great care of us too, we were pretty tucked int eh back, which we loved, but it would have been very easy to be forgotten about back there. But our food came out in a timely manner, and was REALLY good. The fries were fantastic. I think we all liked the rosemary ones the best.

I was told that the Hi-Life across the street is a business partner so be sure to take the time and stop in there too. We are from Chicago and wanted to try their version of the Chicago Style Italian Beef. 'Good' yes, 'same as' not so much. Sadly no cheese unless you want to add it separately and the juice could use a little more pizzazz. That being said, this is not meant to be a Chicago style establishment, so don't think you stopped by for competition. This food is Italian homemade food, they aren't trying to claim otherwise. My boys liked the Pepperoni pizza and the beer was cold and tasty. Take your time and your the restaurant for historical pics of the family and even check out the deli/butcher it the actual door for Torino Panino. It's a little cold this time of year so bring a jacket inside with you if you run cool like myself. Now for goodness sakes, stop reading and mangia, mangia, mangia!!! Eat, eat, eat!!!

West Coast Sourdough is an almost weekly stop for my husband and I after our grocery run. We tried…read morethis place once after being unsatisfied with the sandwich options in the surrounding grocery store delis, and this exceeded our expectations. The shop is a standard deli with a few tables inside. The service is fast and friendly, and the ingredients are fresh. The best part about these sandwiches, though, is that their sourdough has a crunchy exterior. The sourdough I've experienced at other sandwich locations tends to have a softer outside, which leads me to typically offering Dutch crunch instead. At West Coast Sourdough, though, their sourdough is just as crunchy as a Dutch crunch elsewhere, giving me both the texture and flavor profile I desire. If I'm looking for a basic deli sandwich on a quality sourdough roll, it's always safe to assume I'll be going here.
