This little mom-and-pop sandwich shop is such a hidden gem. It's super unassuming from the outside, and it seems like most people call ahead since it's more of a takeout spot. It absolutely delivered and I'll tell you why. I had been craving a really good egg salad sandwich, you know the egg salad sandwiches from Korea or Japan, and this completely hit the spot! For $10, I got the large, and they did NOT skimp. Plenty of egg salad, fresh lettuce and tomato, and everything was perfectly seasoned. You can tell it's made with care. I'm honestly in love. Definitely coming back whenever the craving hits again! Also the lady behind the counter, who was very kind, was manning the phones and preparing the orders. read more

It's a very quiet family run business that doesn't have a lot of foot traffic. I went to get a teriyaki beef with rice bowl for lunch. It is very delicious and juicy. You can actually taste the tender rice with the teri sauce. It is not your Yoshinoya kind of sauce. It's good enough for lunch ! read more

Ambro's Subs is the perfect spot for your sandwich cravings . We picked up a salami and cheese, an egg salad , and a pastrami and cheese sandwich. All of them were delicious-the taste, texture, and freshness of the subs are perfect . We also got a cheese burger, it tasted like a burger from my childhood. The restaurant is nostolgic and comfy , we came in on a rainy day and read some National Geographic magazines while we waited, it's cute and cozy the owner is nice . I can't wait to try everything on the menu. Price was good too! read more

Been there 3 times in the last 2 months. Single mom operation. Not very friendly. Portions have smaller every time I come. read more

This place is not perfect, but their turkey sandwich is so good. The red onion lettuce and mayo is so great. If you are in the mood a little avocado never hurt anything. Just great. read more

When I first started working in San Dimas, this was the first restaurant recommend to me for lunch. It is my normal go to when I don't know what to eat for lunch. I call in my order and in less than five minutes they were ready. My only downer is that the online hours don't match the hours on the door - I had hyped it up to my hubby for picnic at the Hollywood Bowl we were on our way to and we pulled up and they were closed already. We had to quickly pivot. I always get the "tuna diet" - it's a tuna sandwich with avocado and sprouts. It's awesome. read more

Great service ! Sandwiches are always fresh and Never disappoint. They even got the yellow hot chili peppers this is My go to spot for sandwiches in La Verne for sure - don't worry about short lunches either they're quick! read more

Couldn't even try their sandwiches because they were closed on a Saturday during their 'open' hours posted on their door and website. You might want to triple check they're open before heading here... read more

The Danica my wife and I had was so good, the bread was so fresh, the service was right on point, and the shop was small but what a perfect place to have some lunch.. it was quick service read more

Stopped in due to curiosity since I drive by this shop all the time. Decided to try the egg salad, I ordered a large and within a couple minutes my order was ready. Nice like shop, clean. Friendliness could be worked on, but nevertheless I have no complaints, just kudos for quickness and no waiting. As I left there were several people on their way in so maybe next time there might be a wait. Sandwich was good, egg salad was fresh! read more

I will NEVER step foot in here again! Been coming for over 30 years. Shame on this owner, feels like a new owner very rude unwilling to make sandwiches for my family of four and I. She kept saying no no she did not even want to hear what I was asking for. Very rude and horrible Customer service we took our business somewhere else. read more

This place is really good! We tried the turkey and cheese and meatball and cheese. The bread was soft, the meat quality was fresh. The service was quick and the quality was good. I would definitely go there again if I was in the area. read more

I went here for lunch and got a meatball, sausage and cheese Sandwich. They are a bit on the pricier side, but the food was very good! I asked if they put spinach and olives on the sandwiches, they said they don't have it. So if you've thinking they might be like subway, they aren't, but that's okay! Overall, the sandwich was really really good and I'll definitely be back! read more

Great sandwiches, fast service, and local shop. My go to is always the Ambro's California with everything. Love the fine diced lettuce, just the right amount of avocado. This place cranks the sandwich out! I've never seen a place crank the sandwich out so quick. It's only a buck more for a large. Fresh bread - not sure it's baked here but tasted fresh. Located on the corner of Arrow Highway and San Dimas Ave. They are in a strip mall with a reasonable amount of parking . read more

I love their cold sandwiches. Reasonable prices. Service is super fast even when they're busy. Hard working people. Very comfortable little place especially for San Dimas locals read more

I was in a hurry to grab a quick bite, and being at the dog groomer next door did not want to make another stop, so I figured I would try this place. It was just meh! Nothing special, very simple turkey, RB and ham. A sandwich at home would have been better; however w not enough time to go home, I'll be fair and say it was a low 3. Not sure how it has a 4 star but everyone's preference is subjective. For me, it was a one and done. read more

I went to one of the nearby stores and I decided to bring home sandwiches and fries for my family. I felt like the cashier was shy, but nice. Very normal and easy transaction, I verified what was on the sandwiches, asked to leave a couple items off for my partner's sando, paid, got food, left. My sandwich was good and gone too quickly. The bread was soft, fresh ingredients, condiments not too overpowering. I'd come back here for sure. read more

Was in the mood for a good sandwich and not in the mood mood for the regular places JM JJ or SW looked in yelp and found this lil hole in the hole good tasting sandwich good french fries for the price would go again read more

The beautiful lady who runs the show alone could get 5 stars for personality, respect, sweetness.. even though I came half an hour before close, (google maps had it wrong or I wouldn't of shown up) she probably been here since opening and still has the positivity gleaming off her. The ambiance is perfect for the type of shop it is, total 90s deli where you seem to always be the only customer.. obviously the food is ...can't go wrong with a sandwich. Makes me wonder why I'm always complaining for absolutely nothing, been years since I've been here, well, started new job today & it's back in the area! See you around, lady! read more

I am writing this on behalf of my hubby. He swears that the sandwiches are good and he can't complain about their sandwiches. Me on the other half I am like meh. I have had better. His complaints is their hours. Showed up at 5:20 pm and they were closed. No sign on door that said "closing early". Business hours say closed at 6 pm. The Asian lady looked at him like she didn't care. read more

Very disappointed after giving this place a good review last week I came in again because it was good I made a phone order and asked my ambros sandwich with no sauces . I didn't notice it had mustard until I was back and work . Now this is the reason why I was disappointed . I drove back it's only 5 mins away and when I got to ambros I told them I asked for no sauces . They swapped it out but they only swapped out the bread and not the complete Sandwich. They literally took the lettuce , ham and roast beef with mustard still on it and put into a new bread . I understand its a small business and they try to keep it cost efficient but what if I was allergic to mustard what "IF" This is not acceptable. I will bring it to owners attention next time I go to this place again . I attached some photos where you can see their still mustard on my sandwich read more

Ambro's Subs - This is not ok they should of gave me a new sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - San Dimas, California

Maybe I love this place for the nostalgia of it. I used to come here when I'd visit downtown San Dimas, and Ambro's was a weekly staple for me during the initial part of the pandemic. Just know that you will likely be served by a very matter-of-fact, efficient woman. You won't necessarily get a huge sandwich stuffed full of ingredients but you will get a sensible portion and you'll pay a rather sensible price for it and it will be pretty tasty. Our favorites have been the diet (regular or tuna), the steak and cheese, and the BLT. read more

If you want something different than a Subway or Jimmy John's even different than Jersey Mike, I highly recommend this place. It's a small family owned sandwich place with amazing sandwichs. Bread is never stale, and vegetables are fresh. I always get the "Ambros California" but have also had other sandwiches. But I always go back to California. Very nice people who make it a point to remember your name and your order. And French fries are cooked to order . read more

I think this has been one of if not my favorite sandwich spot for lunch. I always order the steak cheese and avocado and it always taste so good. I have seen the bread rolls get smaller over time but that still doesn't take away from how good they are. read more

My go to local sandwich shop. Bread is always fresh, bc they get it delivered (I've seen a bread truck drop it off fresh). Prices r reasonable too read more

Rude as hell!! Called in my order, they didn't take my name, my number, or told me what time it will be ready. They didn't say goodbye just click hung up! Gave it another try, mistake ! read more

I was working in the area and was looking for a sandwich shop and found this place. The place is very clean but not super attractive, but don't let that stop you from stopping by. The bread was fresh and the sandwich was pretty good. They also serve rice bowls with different meats. Service was quick as well. If you're looking for a good sandwich shop in recommend this spot. read more

California is the best Turkey avocado, bacon. Miss this! Chips and a drink. We're set! read more

I've been coming here for a few years and have only bought the sandwiches. I have seen other people leave with Teriyaki Bowls and burgers so I will assume they are good too. Though lately the sandwiches seem a little skimpier then they were previously. Other reviews make reference to rudeness and I definitely understand why. I have never seen the women behind the counter ever smile or say hello, goodbye or even a thank you. In fact even when ordering on the phone the woman seems cold and hangs up before I can even give my name. The reason for the three star review is I still like the food but because the woman behind the counter seems miserable and zombie like I have to deduct one star. Otherwise I believe this business to be a solid four star or four and a half. read more

My daughter and I were craving a good sandwich and were sick of the "normal" ones. I always prefer to support small business over chain stores and when I saw the reviews for Ambro's Subs, we decided to try it out. It was DELICIOUS! Fresh ingredients, great service and a good sandwich selection. Highly recommend you try out this hidden little gem in San Dimas! You can thank me later :) read more

Hadn't been here in a while, just as great as I remembered. Great sandwich. I be back again soon.

Great place to get sandwiches and other type of food. Staff was friendly and we're taking safety precautions. It is important to support your local business in these hard times. Had the meatball and sausage sandwich forgot to take a quick pick before eating. read more

Good local spot in San Dimas for sandwiches. They also sell some other quick lunch items. Bread tasted fresh. The turkey sandwich I ordered was ready in less than 5 minutes. Customer service wasn't too friendly but at least it was quick. Prices were fair. Not many drink selections. Free parking in a medium-sized strip mall lot. read more

Everything fresh= good subs It's impossible to fail subs if everything is fresh. Three ladies work in the kitchen.....I really like my subs carefully made by female hands,... I like my order of Ambro's famous, it tastes very light. I now remember why I don't like Subways because it tastes too heavy. (but if you are like my Mexican friend who even adds soy sauce to his fried rice...you probably won't like this place) read more

Very good sandwiches. It's a nice quaint place for lunch. I highly recommend the monster sub.

Yum!!! Just stopped by for the first time tonight. Ordered an All-Cheese and a Nervous Wreck. Hubster and I each ate a half of each sandwich. Both were very very good! The lettuce is the finely shredded style which helps the vinaigrette adhere more evenly throughout the sandwich. Bread was soft and fresh. Can't wait to return and try a couple more! read more
