The first time I order the Persian Bean & Noodles soup and the Mushroom Delight Sandwich. They vegetarian and Vegan options. Second time I order the Ultimate Veggie. The food is absolutely FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC. Really really good. The bread and vegetables are super fresh, nothing fussy about adding extra charge for some pickles or banana peppers in your sandwich, like other places!!! The warm reception by the staff, the very helpful attention and willingness to make accommodation for special dietary restrictions was really nice. Their recommendation was spot on.. definitely I am returning to this place. Feels like you arrived at your nice neighbor kitchen and they make you feel welcome. Hopefully management can expand this to other locations. Don't come too often to Santa Ana, would like to see more of this nice Deli. Well sorry for those other "sandwich" franchise, but you have a REAL contender. Super nice ambiance, every customer looks like they are very satisfied... I am certainly very satisfied. Definitely 5 STARS

We also got a cookie, it seemed it had been sitting for a few days, the outside was kinda hard and inside was alright. Don't really recommend. The service was good. Everyone was friendly. I wouldn't come back here.

I have been here a couple times; they recently removed their claw games/machines in favor of more seating. They still have a couple table top games to play. When I have come here, it is usually empty and quiet. The lady working today was very nice. I ordered a thai tea with boba; their boba is an orange color instead of the usual black/dark brown. It is soft and bouncy as it should be. Good boba! The thai tea was fine; not strong but also not too sweet. I did not feel like I needed to reduce the sweetness. It's a cute small business which I am always happy to support, but there are many boba shops around which floods the market a bit, and this one was a little pricier than some I have been to, with my drink coming to around $8. I will come back when I am in the area but would not make a special trip for it. I think having a *large chain bakery/milk tea spot* across the street isn't helping, unfortunately. Support the little guys!

At my last visit I tried fish and chips and I was able to see Carlos personally hand-battering the fish as a made to order item. This allows for freshness and flavor over packaged Frozen breaded fish. On a previous occasion I tried one of their bowls and was able to select and customize the bowl the way I wanted it to be. The price is reasonable, but also on the higher end as this is not fast food. The location is maintained well and the service kitchen appears very clean. I'll gladly be returning for more wonderful dining selections.

Once you go the hummus way, you never go back…read more Every time we go to hummus Way, I finish my food, feeling happier and healthier.

Every now and then you stumble on a hidden gem that you become obsessed with. Sandwich society is…read morejust such a gem. We came upon Sandwich Society based upon its Yelp reviews. We tried the pork belly and the cubano sandwiches. They were excellent in every way. The cubano was true to spec. Tender ham, mustard pickles on a beautiful roll. Simply delicious. The Pork Belly was spectacular. The pork was tender and flavorful and the cucumbers, cilantro, onions and jalapeños made it a flavor delight. All on a delicious roll. Just writing this makes me want another one! However, there's one thing you do not want to miss. Their newest addition is Salt Bread. These are sold 4 to a package and and are like the yummiest croissant you've ever tasted. I was sitting waiting for my order to be completed when the owner cam out with a bit of one on a fork. I was hooked. They're already baked, but the instructions are to put them in an air fryer (we used a small convection toaster oven) for 2-4 minutes at 350. I also like them split and toasted. They're fantastic! You'll want to put The Sandwich Society on your restaurant list! (And you'll want Salt Bread in your pantry too!).

You can order and pay for your sandwiches on the kiosk. The worker was kind enough to give us a sample of their cheese bread. We ordered the Hot Pastrami Melt and the Bulgogi Cheesesteak sandwiches. The toasted buns on the pastrami melt gave a great texture and helped it from getting soggy. In contrast, the bulgogi sandwich was very wet and the bread felt more like a sponge at the end of my meal. The flavors were great but the sandwich itself was messy to eat. The service is great and they even gave us a cookie for each sandwich for free! It's a great place for a casual lunch. I'd definitely come back to try the other sandwiches.

Absolute Perfection After a Chaotic Day!…read more My family and I stopped by The Stand in Irvine after an incredibly busy, exhausting day, and it was exactly what we needed to turn our evening around. We ordered the Chimichurri Steak Salad, Short Rib Grilled Cheese, and kids meals both completely hit the spot. The steak in the salad was perfectly cooked, tender, and the chimichurri dressing gave it this amazing, vibrant, fresh kick. On the flip side of the comfort-food spectrum, the Short Rib Grilled Cheese was pure heaven--rich, savory, perfectly melted, and loaded with flavor. Beyond the food, the service was fantastic. The staff was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and incredibly quick. We didn't have to wait long at all, which is a massive blessing when you're already drained from a long day. Great food, fast and friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be back the next time we need a foolproof, delicious pick-me-up!

I went with the Cuban sandwich (forgot to ask for no tomatoes, but easily removed them). It came with a small side of cold macaroni salad that was flavorful with a nice peppery kick. The sandwich was really good and came out quickly. All the condiments were within easy reach, which was convenient. The only downsides: I stood there for a minute or two before staff looked up from their phones to help me, and the fried ham was a bit greasy and heavy on my stomach. Overall, solid experience -- I'd rate it a 4.1/5. Would definitely come back for the sandwich and mac salad!
