I just finished eating here for lunch today. I got the #4 Pops Italian on squaw bread toasted with pepper jack cheese. Let me tell you...this sandwich was delicious! This was actually my second time having it and it tasted even better this time. I love that it was loaded with meat and veggies so you're getting your money worth and it's filling. I only ate half the sandwich and I'm stuffed. The service was nice and welcoming with a chill ambiance. They had good music playing and the tv on. I'll definitely be back read more

Hands down the best tuna salad. I don't even like tuna but I crave this on the squaw bread!!! I drive from Inglewood just to get this sandwich! The owners are amazing and I support minority owned small businesses that do it right and this place does it right! read more

I had this small & black-owned sandwich shop on my bookmark for a long time because the shop was ranked #4 (2018) and #13 (2017) on the Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat. The shop is located in a small strip mall and I haven't had any issues on finding a spot to park during weekday lunch hours. There are few outdoor patio tables available if you don't want to eat indoor. All of their sandwiches are made from Boar's Head meats (a well-known supplier of delicatessen meats founded in 1905) and artisan breads (I believe breads are sourced from Melrose Baking Company.) [Ordering]: First walk up to the cashier counter and grab a copy of the laminated menu & a Sharpie. Then write your order on the laminated menu and slide the menu under the pixie window. The staff will begin to prepare your order and call you when the order is ready. *** Blazin Cajin (Squaw with Oat Bread, Pepper Jack Cheese, Cajun Mayo, Honey Mustard, Cajun Turkey, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Pickles, Spinach, Red Onions, and Banana Peppers - $9 & extra $1 with avocado): This is Yelp's top recommended item and I absolutely agree. The combination among pickled cucumber, peppers, and meat were in a perfect harmony and tasted just right. The crunchy texture from pickled cucumber plus a slight spicy kick from Cajun mayo just added another layer tastiness to the sandwich. I tried few other sandwiches from this shop and nothing beats their Blazin Cajun sandwich! Club Stacker (Sweet French Bread, Provalone Cheese, Mayo, Yellow Mustard, Ham, Roast Beef, Turkey, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Pickles, Lettuce, Red Onions, Bell Peppers, and Banana Peppers - $10): A 4-star worthy sandwich ... but not as good as Blazin Cajin. Kettle Brand Potato Chips - Korean Barbeque: A little bit too salty for my taste and I would only get sandwiches. *** While their Club Stacker and Roast Beef Savory aren't too bad, Blazin Cajin is quite possibly one of the best sandwiches I have ever had in the past decade. A great shop to stop by for high quality and very affordable sandwiches (almost all sandwiches are less than $11.) read more

I came here for the first time because of next gen pickleball a Gen z pickleball group game and I was astonished by how good the food was in addition to its low cost! They've been in the community of Gardena for 11 years and I should have been going here all this time will definitely come again read more

Customizable menu with a good amount of options without over doing it. VERY easy to order. The man working was helpful and friendly right away. His good energy added to the ambiance of the place. Ordered the Veggie sandwich. It could use a lot more flavor or some spice, but I could have easily personalized it to taste better. Fair prices for good sized wiches. read more

This place is definitely a keeper, they use the freshest ingredients, high-quality meat and great customer service, the product is good from the bread to the cuts of meat to the veggies, and what a great name because they do it your way keep up the good work This is definitely in my rotation, and I have recommended it to friends as well. This place is definitely top notch I have to tell the truth. read more

I was looking for something different so as per usual I checked Yelp and Yo-Way came highly recommended so I drove from my neighborhood west Athens to Vermont just the other side of Artesia and it was well worth the drive! The owner greeted me and the two young people working with him smiled with acknowledgment. I don't mind paying for good food but you can't buy a good feeling, the sandwich a Pops Italian I believe was very good. I'll definitely be going back! read more

Yo-Way Eatery - #4 POPS ITALIAN - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Gardena, California

I ordered a pastrami sandwich and it was THICK!!! You can customize your own sandwich or you can pick any of their signature sandwiches. They also have the option of making it into a salad which is a bonus for me! The owner, David, was so friendly, I highly recommend talking to him if you're unsure of how it works/what to order! Definitely going to come back to this place again whenever I'm back in SoCal! read more

My boy david makes the best sandwiches I have ever eaten. ( not an exaggeration) the guys in there treat you like a close friend and they make those sandwiches with love. Im not from the area, but I travel for work and will make it a point to go out of my way for this place again! read more

It's great supporting local business and this spot is legit if you're in the mood for sandwiches. As soon as you walk through the door, you're greeted by the owner who makes you feel at home. Super friendly dude which makes for a great visit. They have a bunch of awards/articles posted on the wall to highlight all of their accomplishments. There's a reason why this place is highly rated. I got the blazin cajun which comes loaded with ingredients. The cajun mayo is no joke and if you're a fan of spicy, it definitely has a little kick to it. The oats bread was super soft but probably not my most favorite bread. However, with so many different options, you can easily ask for different bread. Boars head is advertised throughout the shop so you can count on your sandwich having quality deli meat. I'm excited to come back and try a different sandwich! read more

OMG the absolute best sandwiches ever! Please, please, please, do yourself and your tastebuds a favour and hit up this place. The owner has the kindest smile and really knows the best combos to elevate your sandwich into a supreme... sandwich. Top-notch staff and top-notch ingredients make the perfect pair!!! The eatery is small, quaint, but clean. Their set-up is quite intuitive (you basically just mark up a sheet and hand it to the sandwich masters), the service is quick. Trust me, if you want to eat like a local, you gotta come here. read more

I visited Yo- way eatery today for the first time and I will definitely be coming back soon! I called my order in for pick up, but when I arrived, I saw they had a couple of outdoor seating tables so my husband and I ended up enjoying a nice outdoor lunch. The owner plays music outside for the customers, making it a lovely experience. Speaking of the owner, he is really nice and has wonderful customer service! When he noticed that I was eating outside, he brought out napkins and some trays for us to use. So thoughtful!! Now onto the food. We ordered the Blazin Cajun turkey sandwich and the tuna delight sandwich. The tuna was perfect. Many places put too much mayo on their tuna and this place definitely gets it right! Packed full of sprouts and veggies just the way I like it! I didn't try the Blazin Cajun sandwich, but my husband said it was delicious and had a nice kick. If you're craving a sandwich, go to Yo Way! read more

Friendly, helpful in deciding; great memory of when I used them yrs ago for work as the guys' choice! Hadn't known about their other wide range of products ... gotta try one day ... read more

This is a hole in the wall if I ever seen one before. I wanted something lighter because I was going to islands later the same day. Of course I was with my boyfriend and we decided to split one instead of getting one sandwich each. My lord I have never seen such a large sandwich for such an affordable price point. This thing is MASSIVE. Like oh my god. Water bottle for size comparison. The flavors are IMMMMMMACULATE. We got the club stacker and there was MEAT in there. All the flavors just paired with each other so well. The mustard was a good amount of sourness to the sandwich. The crunch of peppers and Cucumbers were delightful. "Yummy sandwich, yummy" -boyfriend Honestly I will be coming back here for sure, it was bussinnnn like bussin read more

My friend recommended Yo-Way after I explained my many failed attempts to find a good sandwich spot near Torrance. I got the Cajun Turkey Let's start with there so much meat. I can make another sandwich with all this meat! Im a hate mayo but I like mayo kind of person. YoWay mayo was perfect amount distributed on the sandwich, and it tasted pretty damn good. I will most definitely return. Just a heads up if you blink you will drive right by this place It's tucked in the corner so slow down look for the sign. read more

WOW!!!!! I normally will only eat sandwiches as a last resort because they are so boring! But after browsing for a quick, healthy lunch, I felt drawn to come to Yo-Way. When I tell you, I've NEVER been blown away by a sandwich until now... believe me! I ordered the blazin' cajun with the works, sprouts, and avo and it was phenomenal. Euphoric even. David sure knows how to assemble his sandwiches so that each flavor is balanced and complementary. The size of the sandwich as well as high quality, fresh ingredients is where the value really comes in. For 12.00 a sandwich, I felt like I was robbing him! I felt well nourished, light, and still ready to work after eating my sandwich, which I really appreciated. THAT is how you know 100% that the ingredients are pure, top quality. I can't wait to make my way down this menu! read more

I have loved this sandwich spot for so long. I've been coming here for years and whenever the owner isn't there and it's just the younger individuals they can never make the sandwich how you ask for it and it's frustrating. Here is a photo of a very dry sandwich with none of the veggies I asked for. Please if we are writing down what we want in the plastic menu how can you forget what to add? Do better. read more

This might have been the best tuna sandwich I've ever had in my life, truly not kidding. This cool little sandwich shop is a little bit hard to find at first, but parking was easy. You can tell the owner still loves making sandwiches and making people happy after 11 years. Super happy we found this place! read more

Excellent sandwiches you can order yo way. Many meat, vegetables and bread options. Sandwiches are huge. This my go to sandwich shop.

Food is the bomb after all these years not visiting since I don't work at the Herbalife nearby anymore. But that asidde, the owner of the place if he makes your sandwich puts true love into it. A truly wonderful sandwich created. Breads are outstanding. Price point is reasonable. And simple... Yo-way is still #1 for sandwiches in my history of living things all sandwiches if I can eat one food every day... it's a cold cut of any type. Please last forever Yo-Way. read more

Great little hole in the wall sandwich shop! Don't let the area deter you away from this place! I was visiting for the week and I looked up places to eating during my stay. Yo-Way popped up on yelp with 800+ 5 star reviews. I thought...no way could it be this good with only 5 stars. My friend lives just about less than a mile away so that was super convenient! When we arrived, we were the only ones so we got all the attention. The person behind the counter was so nice. He knew it was our first time here judging by our confused looks. Customer service is on point! You order by putting your name on the piece of paper and check off which sandwich you want. You can build your own or check off one of their own. I checked off the Blazin Cajun and my friend built her own. I just want to say that these sandwiches are soooooo fresh. The sauce, the meat, the lettuce, and even the bread. Super fresh tasting. Even my friend who built her own was in love with her sandwich. We were even greeted by the owner and he was so courteous and nice!! Love supporting local businesses. I just helped my friend find her new sandwich spot! And the sandwich shop just gained a new loyal customer! read more

Very tasty sandwiches here! I got the Blazin' Cajun Turkey Sandwich and it didn't disappoint! Looked just like the picture! The people working there were so friendly and quick.

I can tell they have a lot of regulars there because it's really tasty! I highly recommend and will be coming back! read more

I don't even remember the name of the sandwich I got- but man, it was so great. Great quality meats & cheeses. The bread was soft & super fresh. Veggies were crisp. This is a little hidden spot in a plaza that I didn't know existed. Thank goodness for its great reviews that brought me there. I'm going to guess and say it is a husband & wife duo running the place. Super nice people. Place was clean. Will definitely return when in the area. read more

[Review #532] 2020 Yelp 100 Challenge (37/100) Yo people! You gotta come check out Yo-Way Eatery I'm Gardena... because they make phat & delicious sandwiches! They're soooooo dope that I could kick myself for not dropping in when I flagged them about a year ago. The awesome company that I work for encouraged the staff to buy a meal (their treat... yay!) at black-owned businesses in support of Juneteenth. A sweet L.A. Times article (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.latimes.com/food/story/2020-05-31/black-owned-restaurants-in-los-angeles%3f_amp=true) shared ginormous list of black-owned restaurants created by Kat Hong. I found the sandwich shop from our former CM Chelsea, foodie lover extraordinaire. For some reason after flagging it, & life happens (my kiddos), I totally forgot about it. :-| With a reason & nudge with a free meal, I got online & ordered 3 sandwiches: POPPIN PASTRAMI (Boar's Head pastrami, white American cheese, BBQ, honey & spicy mustards, tomatoes, pickles, spinach, red onions, banana peppers, French roll), BLAZING CAJUN (Boar's Head cajun smoked turkey, pepperjack cheese, cajun mayo, honey mustard, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, spinach, red onions, banana peppers, squaw bread), CHICKEN SALAD (chicken salad, Boar's Head provolone cheese, honey mustard, tomatoes cucumbers, spinach, red onions, banana peppers, sweet French bread) for dinner pick-up. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem -- figuratively & literally... that I missed the driveway & had to do a uey; the sandwich shop is tucked away in a tiny strip mall (look out for a liquor store). Since COVID-19 & the return of dining in, customers are still keeping social distance when eating in or picking up take-out. Service was prompt & my order was ready when I got there, & the sandwiches were still warm (I requested the bread to be toasted)! ヽ(*‿*)ノ I had the pastrami (hot sandwich), & it was amazing! It came with BBQ sauce, which I thought was strange, so I ordered without it. I love the flavor profile: warm, ooey gooey cheese; sweet & spicy mustard to give it a bit of kick with a touch of sweetness, pickles & banana peppers for texture & acidity; fresh & crunchy veggies contrasted the warmth of the pastrami & toasted roll. Being a glutton, I also snuck in a bite of my husband's cajun turkey (kept all the fixings), & I couldn't decide it I like mine better or his; as well as my daughter's, it was also yummy. I held the banana peppers because she considers it spicy; I took the bite with a banana pepper. Can you say yum? ;-) My only complaint... the filling was a bit on the thin side, especially comparing the older pics, which looked loaded; a couple of regulars had mentioned this too. It's an average portion of filling:bread. I'm almost satisfied, but that's probably because I worked though (skipped) lunch. :-X My husband is eating lighter these days so he felt it was more than enough, & H was perfectly happy with her half (saving the other portion for tomorrow). And the coupon code: yoway5 didn't work online & I forgot to ask about it when I paid. This place is definitely a must, not just in support of black-owned businesses, but because of their fantastically bomblicious sandwiches. It's take skillz to slap together a couple pieces of bread that makes you craving for more. Make "yo"ur way to Yo-Way Eatery, your belly will thank you. Tip: Pick-up their loyalty card to earn a free drink on 5th purchase & free sandwich on 10th purchase. Receive 1 punch per visit, not by purchase quantity. Highly Recommended: Poppin Pastrami (must try!), Blazing Cajun (can't decide if I like this better or the pastrami), Chicken Salad. read more

Yo-Way Eatery - Boarshead Cajun turkey/prov on squaw. Fresh crisp veggies - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Gardena, California

My son asked me what I wanted for unch, as usual I said I dunno. Whatever is fine. So he went to Yo-Way and we split a Poppin Pastrami and a Roast Beef Savory. Now days I usually eat only half of a large sandwich but this time I woofed down both halves. Was pretty good. Now I'm full and it's almost dinner time. Guess I have to have him go back and try other stuff. There are so many restaurants in Gardena. PLate Lunch City is what I call it. I guess there is at least 100 plus in a 1 mile radius of my house. The main cross streets where I live is Redondo Beach and Western. You get in your car with the engine running and say where we going eat. No can decide to many places to choose from. Is that a good thing? read more
