They still welcomed us, not like other places that are visibly upset. I had to use the restroom and it was super clean, kinda TMI but I loved that they even had tampons, pads and baby wipes in there. I thought that was super sweet and thoughtful and most places don't offer. They even worked it out so we could still have breakfast even though it was super late. We had the spinach and egg sandwich and strawberry banana with peanut butter. The bread is a perfect combination of crunchy/toasted but also soft and flavorful. Everything is super fresh, from the greens, no wilting and the fruit. You can tell everything is of the highest quality. The cheese was melty and stringy! They also made a lavender latte with just a splash of coffee since it was for my daughter. The homemade syrup was so delicious! Next time I'll make sure to come earlier so we could enjoy the cute patio area and I can try the coffee, which I'm sure is amazing!!

This location on Wilshire Blvd in Koreatown is the smallest of the three I've visited, with under 10 seats available. It's a compact shop, and most customers opt for takeout. It's a narrow shop, and most customers take their orders to-go. I've previously enjoyed the La Paradiso and La Toscana, with the La Paradiso being my personal favorite. For our first visit with our son, we asked the staff for recommendations, and they suggested either the Venice Beach (Turkey) or the New Yorker (Roast Beef). The staff was incredibly generous, offering a roast beef sample, which our son loved! We also appreciated them providing ice and straws for our water. We ordered the New Yorker ($19.00) with roast beef, porcini cream, tomato, and arugula. The sandwich was thoughtfully cut in half, perfect for sharing. The schiacciata bread boasts a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior, which beautifully complements the meats and cheeses. We opted to substitute the porcini cream for mozzarella, which was sliced into perfect bite-sized pieces and tasted incredibly fresh. The roast beef was thinly sliced and tender, the tomatoes were fresh and sliced to perfection, and the arugula added a delightful peppery crunch. It's a well-balanced sandwich and one of the best in LA. We would definitely order it again. A big thank you to the female staff member who expertly cut the meat and offered samples, assisting us in making the perfect choice for my son's sandwich. This experience was truly a positive one for our family. I would definitely return to AAV for the excellent food and service. Given the small size of the shop, takeout is recommended, especially during peak hours. The sandwiches at AAV are so good! Fuggedaboutit!

Word to the wise, if you somehow end up going to this Jersey Mike's and ask for ANY extra meat please KNOW THIS, although the sandwich tech will say "there is an extra charge for extra meat" just know they do not openly tell you what the extra fee will be. MAKE SURE TO ASK; I did not. I assumed it was like other sandwiches places $2-$3 extra. I was absolutely wrong; $5.59 is the extra fee. That is pretty much another sandwich. The last photo is what they are considering extra meat. Please look at the photo's I posted to see exactly what you will receive for $41.09 from this Jersey Mike's Subs (sandwiches; NOT steak or lobster. A SANDWICH. A $41 sandwich kids. a S A N D W I C H). 1 sandwich 1 small bag of lays chips 1 brownie 1 small Gatorade Total= $41.09 and I gave a $3 because I absolutely did not realize I was being charged $41.09 for basically a sack lunch. So $44.09 in total. Jersey Mike's, I should have stuck to my guns and kept the promise I made to myself a few years ago when I said, I would never go back to Jersey Mike's. I guess I can say this is my fault. I'm actually kind of glad that I went there tonight because I have a Production on Monday and I was going to have the Production Cordinator order a few platters of sandwiches, chips, and drinks for the crews first meal from this Jersey Mike's. Talk about a close one! We have a nice budget for crafty, first and second meal (if we roll into second meal) but with this stores non-upfront disclosure on pricing for certain things, they may take too much of the production budget and we'll be forced to film on phones or use flipbooks!

Amazing Peruvian Food - 10/10 This restaurant is a gem! It's a casual restaurant with great service! The complimentary chicken soup and crispy yet soft bread were a delicious start. Every dish I've tried has been fantastic. The lomo saltado with added jalapeños was perfect, and the arroz con pollo blew me away with its flavorful rice and spices. Desserts are a must-try--both the torta de chocolate and tres leches are heavenly. The chocolate cake is rich and moist, while the tres leches is perfectly sweet. I'll definitely be back to try more! Highly recommend! read more

Unfortunately I had a very negative experience that ruined my entire perception of this establishment and made me come to the decision that I will never be a customer here again. I purchased a Thai tea with boba and realized that it tasted very sour. This has never happened to me before and I have purchased the same type of drink without issues. I decided to return to the store with the drink to let the staff know. When I told the female worker (who to my understanding is the manager) she was shocked and seemed almost offended. She told me that no one has ever had that issue and even questioned if it was my first time purchasing there. I reaffirmed that it was sour and she just stared at me and kept denying. I suggested she try it herself to see what I meant. When she did she insisted that it tasted fine and that thai tea always tastes that way. She was clearly annoyed throughout the whole interaction and told me that she couldn't give me a refund since the drink was fine according to her. I asked if she could at least make me another type of drink and she laughed. She did end up making me another but not without giving me attitude, shaking her head continuously, rolling her eyes, and talking to her coworker about the situation in their language. When she was finished she slammed the drink on the counter in front of me. I thanked her for the drink but let her know that her behavior was uncalled for and I didn't come in with the intention of causing issues or trying to take advantage. I felt embarrassed because she raised her voice at me when everything happened even though other customers were around, one even checked up on me when we both exited. Overall I'm very disappointed and hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. However, if you're looking for a restaurant with a lack of professionalism, poor customer service, and questionable food quality give this place a visit.
