First time trying Submarina and we loved it! The lady who greeted me was so friendly and welcoming…read more The place had a cozy, inviting atmosphere and smelled amazing! We ordered two 6-inch turkey and provolone sandwiches, one on squaw bread (Tierrasanta style) toasted and the other on wheat (Old School style). Both were absolutely delicious! We also tried their house-made chocolate chip cookies, which were the perfect treat afterward. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful! Honestly, I'd choose this place over any major sandwich chain. Great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. So glad we stopped by! Highly recommend!

Amazing sandwiches and very friendly staff!…read more We always get Barbara's favorite, toasted, and it has yet to disappoint! We've tried a variety of desserts as well and they've all been delicious - the chocolate Bundt and the cookie crumble are both top tier! It can take a little while to prepare the sandwiches so I might not come here if I was in a rush, but if you have the time, it's worth the wait! Has some nice bench seating inside if you prefer to sit down and eat there! Definitely a great place to stop by if you're looking to support local!

A Wonderful Evening at Tahini Restaurant…read more We had such a wonderful evening at Tahini Restaurant! The service was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was delicious. They had unfortunately run out of baklava, but Raz came through like a superhero! Just 15 minutes before closing, he managed to bring two of us baklava--and what a way to finish the meal! That kind of service and attention to your guests really makes a difference. And don't forget to get the pickles! They're listed on the menu as pickled cucumbers, although to me, they taste just like delicious kosher dill pickles. I'm not sure why they're called something different, but that tangy flavor adds such an amazing touch to the meal. Thank you, Tahini, for a great meal, great atmosphere, and a great evening with my cousin. And Raz, you're definitely our baklava superhero! ‍ Five stars all around!

Jersey Mike's always makes me happy and my recent visit was especially great!…read more I stopped by during the busy lunch rush. Opposed to standing in line, I ordered on the app and waited in my car. I was immediately greeted when I walked in a few minutes earlier than expected order completion. They let me know it'd be ready in less than 5 minutes. I liked the communication between team members and to the customers. I ordered completely different than my normal turkey and provolone. My order, which shall 100% be repeated, was: regular Italian on wheat, pickles, banana peppers, hot chopped pepper relish, oil and vinegar. I asked for extra pickles and banana peppers too. He said he put extra on the sandwich but the other locations give me extra in a cup. I asked for the cup and they made it no problem. I thought I'd take a Pic in the car, eat half and save the other half. Ha! That entire sandwich was gone in 10 minutes. Super enjoyable! The lot is tight and gets crowded, but because so many people are doing quick pick-ups, the turnover rate is high. You shouldn't have to wait long for a spot. ​Suggestion for Management: Adding shade or umbrellas to the outside tables would be a huge improvement! Other spots in the shopping center offer shade, which can definitely be a deciding factor for lunch on a warm day.

My daughter and I dropped by here to grab a couple sandwiches for lunch after hard morning of work…read more When we arrived, there were 2 other men waiting for their sandwiches to be made and 1 young lady preparing them. She asked us for our order and proceeded to make my daughter's #3 (ham & provolone) sandwich with the 2 male customer's sandwiches. This was very efficient. We ordered: 1 Regular #3 (Ham and Provolone) with Avocado and 1 Regular Mike's Chicken Cheesesteak. The issue is that she asked the 2 men what they wanted on their sandwiches (mustard, mayo, lettuce, veggies, etc.) as she finished making them, but never asked us what we wanted. She was rushing because 2 more customers came into the line. Her coworker, a male, came out of the restroom. He then went to the sink behind the counter, washed his hands for 7 seconds, dried them, and put on plastic gloves to start helping her make sandwiches. I expected her to ask us what condiments, veggies, etc, we wanted on our sandwiches after she rang us up at the register, but she did not. She just wrapped up our sandwiches and gave them to us. I commented that I was going ti ask for lettuce, mustard, pickles, etc. She then offered to unwrap my sandwich to add what I wanted but I declined because that will ruin the packaging of the sub and make it messy and soggy...it's too late. This location needs to do better on a Sunday afternoon at 1p.

Another great Yelp find! Lit'l Pepper Gourmet Deli came recommended by fellow Yelper Kandy F., and…read moreher recommendation was true to form. Thanks for the inspiration, Kandy...!!! First thing you need to know: the sandwiches here are HUGE! I ordered the Italian Torpedo, and when it arrived I immediately realized I wasn't finishing the whole thing....! Loaded with Italian meats and all the fixings on a big sesame roll, it was fresh, delicious, and substantial enough that half went with me for later. It also came with a simple side salad and some really tasty Italian dressing. What really impressed me, though, was the hospitality. The owner learned that this was my first visit and actually came over to my table to welcome me. She was so nice that she brought me a cup of their spicy chicken soup to try, on the house! Little gestures like that make a first-time customer feel appreciated, and the soup was excellent too. This place is also clearly doing some serious business beyond the dining room. There are multiple Lit'l Pepper catering vans outside, and while I was eating there was a steady stream of Grubhub and Uber Eats drivers coming in to pick up orders. They cater to a lot of the surrounding businesses, and after eating here I can understand why. Despite being busy, the operation runs like a well-oiled machine. Every table seemed to be cleaned almost immediately after someone left. There are plenty of comfortable tables inside and a few outside as well, although with the Santa Ana winds pushing that hot desert air into San Diego this week, inside with the A/C was definitely the better choice! Excellent service, enormous sandwiches, good food, a very friendly owner and an impressively efficient operation. I'll happily stop here for lunch again on a future trip to the area. Thanks again for the recommendation, Kandy F...!!! You nailed this one!

After a six-hour tattoo session, I had earned two things: a cheesesteak and absolutely no judgment…read moreabout the amount of food I was about to eat. Being from Philly, I take my cheesesteaks very seriously. Probably more seriously than a reasonable adult should. So when I finally tried Gaglione Bros. in San Diego, I went in hopeful. First, the good stuff. The staff was wonderful, genuinely friendly, the place was clean, and there were plenty of options. They even had Amoroso rolls and fresh-shaved prime rib. On paper, we were speaking my language. But whenever I try a new "Philly cheesesteak" place, I order my first steak plain. No cheese, no onions, no peppers, no hiding behind toppings. If you want to call yourself a Philly steak shop, the steak and bread should be able to stand on their own. Unfortunately, this one didn't. The meat was heavily salted and peppered, surprisingly dry, and every couple of bites I was pulling out pieces of fat. And nothing makes you question your dining choices quite like discreetly removing a piece of steak from your mouth in public. For me, a great cheesesteak has balance. The meat should be tender and juicy, with enough seasoning to bring out the beef rather than overpower it. There should be a little richness from the griddle, the steak juices, and everything cooking around it. Then you add the onions, mushrooms, peppers, cheese or whatever your particular Philly allegiance demands. This steak just didn't have that softness or heart. It honestly reminded me more of the tourist cheesesteak experience in Philly. And my fellow Philadelphians know exactly what I mean when I say that. A real Philly cheesesteak isn't complicated food, but that's precisely why every part matters. The bread matters. The meat matters. The griddle matters. And somehow, when someone really knows how to make one, you can taste the heart in it. Would I try Gaglione Bros. again? Probably not for the cheesesteak. The people were great and the place itself left a good impression, but the steak didn't. Mostly, the experience just left this Philly girl Jonesing for a long weekend back home, a walk down South Street, and a cheesesteak from that place. If you're from Philly, you already know which one I mean.

The end pieces for all of the sandwiches didn't have enough meat and was more bread. It used to be better portions, I wouldn't mind the price paid if it reflected in the quality of the sandwiches. They have kiosk ordering which is really convenient, unfortunately they didn't print out any receipt so we didn't get the order number. It had popped up when we paid and we thought we were gonna get a receipt so we didn't think to remember the number. Other customers also fell into this bc when the employees were calling out the numbers we were all looking at each other to see who got what. ---- Overall: good flavor but quality has dropped and prices increased, kiosk ordering needs to be fixed

This spot has been in SD for quite some time and we finally ventured there the other night. Inside decor was very chic, bright, carrying some zen vibes. The lady at the counter was very helpful, kind and friendly. Place was not completely packed, but there definitely were a couple of groups. We looked at the menu fairly quickly since people came in behind us. There were quite a few things I wanted to try, but we ended up getting these: 1. Taiwanese popcorn chicken- (dark meat) with salt and pepper- This was done very well, seasoning was pretty good, not too many pieces were fried too much and hard. (some spots sometimes have too much of that) I really liked that you have a choice to choose white or dark meat. (More fried basil, we got a few leaves) 5/5 2. Nori Fish Sandwich- (Our take on one of our favorite fish sandwiches. Juicy wild caught cod filet fried in a light batter dusted with aonori flakes, melted cheddar cheese, and our house tartar sauce all nestled in a buttery brioche bun.) 1/5 My sister and I were very excited to try this since we do enjoy fish sandwiches. I think it was a pretty good size piece of fish (but make sense for the price). We were very underwhelmed, the fish itself was not even seasoned, not even a little bit of salt. We thought possibly the batter with aonori flakes would give more flavor, but not really. Tartar sauce tasted like mayo to me. I could taste the butter on the bun. The red onion was minimal and more was needed or even coleslaw might be nice. The fish itself could be cooked longer, it was not very crispy at all and the color was so light. When I first tasted it, I thought is this cooked? It came with a half side of tots, which were also super underdone, not even crispy. The color of the tots as well leaned on the side of hardly cooked. The extra Thai Basil Aioli was insanely delicious. We ate this with the fish and the tots. I want to say I was very disappointed mostly on this one since it seems like an unique item and pricey. We got 2 drinks as well and we were not very impressed, we were very excited since we saw they had tea jellies. Guava Jin Xuan Oolong- I couldn't taste any guava at all in my drink, it was too lemony and I could not pinpoint this was Oolong tea either. 2/5 Apple Orchard Oolong- My sister got this drink and she was underwhelmed. Not much apple flavor or Oolong either. She noted the tea jellies were good. 2/5 We would not get either of these drinks again. Other items that caught my eye: heritage Braised Pork Belly, Mapo Tots (Mapo is one of my favorites so I would love to taste their recipe) Hainan Chicken Tacos, Wagyu Hot Pot Roast Beef Sandwich, Powdered "Dou-Tiao" Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food:2.5/5 Will I come here again? More and likely, I'm hoping next time the food /drink be significantly better.
