This is my go to sandwich close to where I live. Staff is always nice and friendly. One of my favorite is the veal and steak sandwich and I recently tried the meatball sandwich which is now part of my favorites. Definitely will go back. Recommended to my friends and family.
Pasta with sauce and chicken. Off menu item. Ordered this with one of my co-worker who is a regular here. Off menu item. Pasta with chicken. Great restaurant here which is a excellent lunch spot for all the businesses around the area. Staff very friendly, positive and the restaurant is very clean and organized. Pro tip: call in ahead your order to reduce your wait time at the restaurant.
Was actually better than I remember from last time I was in TO almost 10 years a ago. I've been California dreaming of this sandwich and it didn't disappoint. Whoever said this was the best location was spot ON! Veal sando spicy with provolone and mushrooms.
I love California Sandwiches. My favourite sandwich is the veal. It's all that I order. While doing my usual food app browsing (I picked it up during the pandemic and it is becoming a regular part of my day), I noticed that California Sandwiches was offering a veal sandwich for $5 on Skip the Dishes. What? I rubbed my eyes. I refreshed my app. I looked at the menus of all California Sandwiches locations. I had read it correctly. $5 for a veal sandwich that has a regular price of $12 was on. I needed it badly! Over the years, I seem to be slowly dropping by every California Sandwiches location in the GTA. My closest location is this one on York Mills, just west of Don Mills. This deal made me change my usual Wednesday plans to get my groceries in Stouffville to getting them in Scarborough and then coming here to fetch takeout for dinner. After I had finished my grocery shopping, I placed an order on my app and then drove over. The app said that my order would be ready in ten minutes. The original estimated time was double that. I did a first. I actually took highway 401 westbound during rush hour to make it there at a reasonable time. Why is this highway driving unusual for me? - Before this pandemic, I normally drive eastbound home from work. Going in the opposite direction felt odd. - I rarely drive on the 401 during rush hour. It's typically a parking lot, but it was fine that evening. - I prefer to drive on backroads. I see more that way. I exited off Leslie and took Lesmill to get to this location. It was a nice drive! This California Sandwiches location is in a plaza with a number of eateries. It made me realize that I need to come back and check them out. There was plenty of parking. I backed into a spot and walked in. There are designated spots in front of California Sandwiches for pickup orders. There was a customer who looked like he was waiting, but was at the order area. I can never tell. Finally, a woman behind the counter acknowledged me, he moved, and I mentioned that I had a Skip the Dishes order. It was ready. She handed a paper bag over to me. I thanked her, wished her a great evening, and left. She reciprocated, minus the leaving part. I ordered the following: - Veal sandwich with sauteed mushrooms (my usual) - Sausage sandwich with sauteed onions - Tiramisu I was debating whether to eat my food in the car and then drive home. I had more willpower than I normally do and drove home to eat my dinner there. With a veal sandwich going for $5, I felt the need to branch out and try other items. That evening, I had half the veal sandwich and half the sausage sandwich. The veal sandwich was amazing, which I have come to expect. The veal was tender and had a thin layer of breading. The marinara sauce was bright and delicious. I like sauteed mushrooms in my veal sandwich, so I splurged and paid an extra $1.50. The bun was soft and chewy. Perfect! I liked the sausage sandwich. The sausages are split in half, so that they don't roll out of the bun. With me, such a sandwich always causes the sausages to fall out. I can't win! It was yummy. The sausage was mild and flavourful. I got sauteed onions because I love the combination. So good! However, my heart is still with the veal sandwich. My love for it is unwavering. Both sandwiches were massive. It's the norm at California Sandwiches. I love tiramisu. So, how come have I never had it here? Well, I tend to consume an entire massive veal sandwich that I have no room for dessert. Well, I can safely say that I made room for it this evening. It was so good. It's the right portion in a cup. The espresso and cocoa with the marscapone and lady fingers tasted perfect. I loved it. Note to self: I need to add tiramisu to my order. This $5 deal is about to end. I am thankful for taking advantage of it here and again yesterday. I am so glad that this location is easy for me to get to. I will be back for more! (426)
This location has been a mixed bag lately and botching our orders. Ordered a sweet veal and they gave us a hot veal. It's happened twice now. Luckily the person who got the chicken parm with sweet peppers and cheese was extremely satisfied. When they're on, they're on and then some. Tip: If you ask for the sauce on the side, the chicken or veal retains its crispiness on the way home.
Very nice and friendly staff here. Ordered the steak sandwich and did not expect the size to be almost as big as my head haha. It was messy to eat but definitely tasty. I found the steak to be a bit chewer than I expected but otherwise I would buy it again. The onion that came with it paired really well with the sandwich.
First time trying this place, after hearing good reviews from coworkers. Gets a little busy during the lunch rush, but the food is prepared pretty quickly. Ordered the Veal Sandwich, with Sauteed Onions, Provolone Cheese and Jalapenos (the toppings other than jalapenos are extra$). First impression, these sandwiches are HUGE! Got some real weight to them, each sandwich with a couple of veal cutlets. It's covered in sauce and can get a little messy to eat. Recommend to ask for a fork to clean up the scraps afterwards. Taste was good. The cutlet is still a little crispy, and hot off the fryer. Sauce was sweet, tart, but not too overwhelming. Order a side, and it's definitely enough for two people. Will probably come back some time, and try some of the other toppings.
Can't really say anything bad about this place. I ordered up a veal parm sandwich spicy with jalapeño peppers. Veal was super tender and piled high. Don't even think of driving and eating one of these,
Honestly didn't get the hype until I tried their chicken sandwich. Key tip: ALWAYS get sauce on the side. Otherwise you end up with a very soggy sandwich. Good quality at a higher price point, with any toppings costing extra $1-3. They're known for their veal sandwiches, but personally not a fan. Too salty, breading falls apart, generally really heavy. Get the chicken instead - arguably the best chicken sandwich in Toronto...
California Sandwiches always delivers, I love the Chesswood location, and I especially love the original down on Clairmont. They all do exactly the same thing but they each do it with their own little bit of style. This York Mills location tends to go a little thicker on the veal and a little heavier on the chopped jalapeno heat, but once again they make a delicious customizable Italian sandwich. My go to order is a "Hot Veal Sandwich", with provolone, and occasionally with some mushrooms or some sweet peppers. With the "hot" representing not the fact that they freshly fry the veal cutlets to order, which they do, but referring to a generous helping of finely diced roasted jalapeno which brings the spicy Heat! You can always order it "medium", or "sweet" for no jalapenos at all, for the timid among you. None-the-less, it's a great sandwich, great service, and always delicious - never any complaints. Nice job California Sandwiches!
I'm a big fan of the California Sandwiches chain and this location in particular. It's very clean, modern with decent parking. All the sandwiches are massive so if you're not that hungry, you may want to look at the smaller sized offerings. I've tried the chicken, eggplant and of course their famous veal. All are perfectly seasoned, fried fresh to order and come with the tangy, delicious tomato sauce. I normally only add their sautéed onions, but they do have several choices to personalize your sandwich.
I love California sandwiches. I generally always order the eggplant parm. This time my sister told me try it w the chicken as well. So i did the chen parm add breades eggplant. It was super delicious. Crispy and flavourful, not too much sauce, right amoint of cheese and onions. Of coirse the sandwich is huge so I ate half and my friend enjoyed the other half. Will definitely be back * ordered through skip the dishes* Came nice amd hot on arrival not one complaint.
If you are looking for large portions, fast, at a reasonable price in Toronto, this is it. Its á la carte menu boasts an assortment of sandwiches from veal to meatball served on a ginormous bun. I had the veal, provolone cheese and peppers with an order of fries. It came quickly, with the staff gracious and accommodating. The sandwich was the size of my head, easily enough for 2 people. After getting over the shock of its shear size, I dug in and it was quite tasty. I was not up to the task. It was more than I could handle, though I wish I had the stomach to put it all down because I did enjoy it. They do have smaller portions for those of us who can't take on the big boy sizes. Clean and well run, it's a great place for a quick lunch and a nap afterwards. I recommend a visit.

You cannot go wrong with any sandwich here !!! I've been to many locations of California Sandwiches And have been here numerous times only to give a review just now. This place is one of the best in the franchise. I ordered my fav sandwich the veal, chose medium spice level and added cheese and mushrooms. Omg, the cheese pull was awesome !!! The sandwich itself is full of flavour with the sauce which must be homemade. The veal is so tender. When biting into this gigantic sandwich, the veal just melts in the 6-7 layers of veal and it is a full bite. Not like sometimes you bite into it and the veal is tough and one piece doesn't break and one slice of veal comes out messing the whole sandwich. IYKYK. LOL. But Not here, like I said the veal sandwich must have been 6-7-8 layers thick and it just melted after each and every bite. Fantastic is all I can say. Also, if you are not into veal, their steak sandwich with onions included and their chicken cutlet is just as good. Side note: avoid the meatball sandwich though. I didn't enjoy it and only bought it because it was cheaper. So don't be cheap and order the other sandwiches. Otherwise, this place rocks An easy recommendation with a glowing 5 stars I'll be back, maybe see you there !!! read more

Okay where do I start here... size matters? Right off the bat, I'm not a big "bread person" but I do enjoy a well constructed sandwich. I also hate when filling just spills out of a bun. When food gets too messy to enjoy it makes me actually enraged. That being said, California Sandwiches really held its own here. The concept is simple: choose your meat, decide on your toppings and then if you want a "snack" or "regular" size. I opted for the crispy chicken with cheese and hot peppers snack size. Pro tip: ask for the sauce on the side. You'll thank me later. I definitely did when advised by my friends. Sauce on the side will allow you to determine the sandwich to marinara sauce ratio. I got my sandwich (10 minutes made fresh to order) and this thing was steaming hot and big in my opinion. Remember I got the snack size. My dining friends got the regular and it could easily have feed 2 people. The chicken was very thin and breaded well with at least 3 large pieces in the sandwich. The kaiser but wasn't too hard but it was sturdy enough to house the fillings. Finally the marinara wasn't mind blowing but it was great for dipping. I left full and satisfied but not stuffed. Cost wise, it's decent. You pay per topping so it's up to you about how crazy you want to go. For your first time I suggest letting the sandwich speak for itself. read more

In the 70's in Toronto there was an amazing small chain of Italian Sandwiches and they were delish......but OMG - here this is the Biggest sandwich EVER here and it was amazing (even though I could only eat half). Ordered the Veal with mushrooms and onion. Served on on a huge Kaiser bun with tomato sauce. You order at the counter and less than 2 min my sandwich was ready - popping hot and so yummy ! They also have salads and a variety of other sandwiches like; steak wonton, chicken, chicken deluxe, sausage wonton, meatball, eggplant, grilled veggie and a mini. And you can choose for a large number of toppings. Get lots of napkins cause it's messy !!! read more

It was my first time at California sandwiches. Their menu selection is decent. They have chicken, veal, pork, and vegetarian options. The decor of this place is bright and modern ! Not a bad place to be in for a quick bite. We ordered the chicken & veal sandwich. Each additional topping costs extra money. So we only added onions on top. And each sandwich comes with tomato sauce. They make each sandwich fresh, so there is a 5 min wait time. The sandwiches are massive ! They are so nice and juicy, something you wouldn't expect in a sandwich. They are so delicious ! Both the chicken & veal sandwiches were very good, however, if I had to choose one, it'd be the veal. Will be returning for more yummy sandwiches read more

My husband and I care here for lunch. The line wasn't bad and the service was pretty fast from getting our orders taken to having them call our number out. I ordered the mini chicken sandwich and my husband ordered the regular chicken sandwich. The mini chicken sandwich I ordered looked like a regular sandwich for almost half the price. We also added the extras to our sandwiches like, mushrooms, peppers, onions. The sandwiches were hot to order and super saucy, just how I like it. I will be coming back for sure. read more

You will think about the sandwich days later. Upping the sand which game to the next level, this particular location is by far the best one I've been to. A good tip is to always ask for the sauce on the side, this way the breading stays crunchy and you won't make a giant mess. read more
