I ordered only because it was an UberEats special. Boy and I glad I did! I had the Tuna sandwich and the hour wait was worth it! The bread is what makes this sandwich amazing! I will be back for sure! read more

Another DTLA goldmine. I ordered the Cold Sando (6") with mayo, provolone, Black Forest ham, tomato, easy onions, and pickles on the side. Let me just say this thing was the BOMB. Everything tasted fresh, the ingredients were high quality, and every bite was packed with flavor. It's one of those sandwiches that's simple, but done so well that you immediately know you'll be craving it again. If you're in Downtown LA and looking for a great sandwich spot, Ghost Sando is definitely worth checking out. 10/10. I'll definitely be back! read more

It's a hot day and I was craving a meaty sandwich, and this place satisfied that craving. I ordered the BLAST with Chicken and Red Onions with the sauce on the side. The bread.... the Fillings.... all hit and it was delicious! I'm definitely coming back here again and ordering the same sandwich. Thank you Ghost Sando Shop! read more

I ordered the pastrami mami. I waited a few min to order since they seem busy. Ingredients were placed on the shelves. Chairs are placed parallel to the stainless steel countertop. Mexican music plays from the speaker. It costs $14 for shortie size sandwich which is 6 inches if I had to guess. The logo of the sandwich shop is near the top of the restaurant. Order will take 10 or so minutes. It took 8 minutes which was fast. I think online orders took place in the time I waited and 2 groups ordered sandwiches ahead of me. I asked the cashier for my receipt since I wasn't sure if I could get it even though it faced me. Tons of customers didn't get their receipts either. I love how the bread was toasty. Lots of lettuce and pepperoncini which made it crunchy. Hardly tasted the bacon but I didn't mind. I loved that pastrami was at the forefront. read more

tl;dr the Dutch crunch rolls highlight an otherwise standard lineup of hearty deli sandwiches The Los Angeles sandwich scene ranges from terrific tortas to farmer's market-on-a-bun, but few spots have embraced the Bay Area's beloved Dutch crunch roll. These slightly sweet hoagie rolls are coated with rice flour, creating an addictively crunchy, tortoise-shell top. While hard to find, Dutch crunch rolls are the specialty at Ghost Sando Shop. This small sandwich chain (from the mind of NorCal native and former Chipotle exec Benjamin Sales) debuted in the Fairfax District, and it has expanded to Orange County and the Valley. Every sandwich at Ghost Sando sports a Dutch crunch roll, and the lineup has achieved TikTok fame. Briefly, Grand Central Market is a semi-outdoor industrial market turned upscale food court. The sky-high walls are painted white, and the concrete floors are slickly polished. Even during the day, only a few rays of sunshine enter through the skylight roof, leaving each vendor's neon sign to pop. During busy hours, expect foot traffic shoulder-to-shoulder through the narrow aisleways. Here, Ghost Sando has a central stall near the wide stairwell. You can't miss the bright teal paint or custom green neon sign. The walls are tastefully decked with hexagon tile and wooden slats. The sandwich production line is front and center, and staff members buzz around even well after the weekday lunch rush. Stools are pressed up against the long stainless steel bar counter, guaranteeing a seat for customers. My partner and I visited Ghost Sando for a weekday lunch, but our food was prepared relatively quickly. Immediately, I was shocked by the sheer density of the sandwiches. Rolled into compact cylinders, the weight could have fooled me into thinking they were bricks. The "Large" size was plenty for even a hefty appetite, but I can't imagine how anyone could tackle the double-topping "XX Large" portions. I also enjoyed the unique Dutch crunch loaf -- consider holding your sandwich upside-down to fully appreciate the crispy shell. Otherwise, the sandwiches were more standard than spectacular. The cold cuts are more like grocery store variety than premium deli, and the veggies are only a step above Subway. I preferred the mildly spicy Firebird to the warm-ish Pastrami Mami, but neither blew my socks off. The service is mostly disengaged, and the sandwiches run from $15 each. Reasonably, a sandwich can be extended across 2 meals. The sandos are mostly standard, but the Dutch crunch rolls are mildly addictive. While Ghost Sando is not a reason alone to pay GCM a visit, it is a filling and reliable bet for routine DTLA lunch. read more

Ghost Sando Shop is a delectable sandwich shop in Grand Centra Market, DTLA. They have a plethora of food items on their menu. I had a regular Tornado sandwich which is composed of crispy bbq chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and special sauce. I requested to exclude bacon. The sandwich was surprisingly tasty and flavorful. I rarely eat sandwich as my lunch but I want to be adventurous today. Staff were competent and professional. Price was surprisingly modest. Seats are available. Overall, I had a good sandwich. I'd recommend you visit. read more

A sandwich shop located in the grand central market. They seemed to have a lot of variety of sandwiches. I got a breakfast one called the wrong side of the bed. It comes with pastrami, tomato paste, hash brown, and a sunny side up egg. I got their shortie size but it was still HUGE! I fear what their other sizes will be lol I also got their strawberry juice it was pretty yummy. They offer refills as well. The guy at the counter was super nice and offered to cut my sammy when he saw my eyes widen to see how big it was. It really helped me eat clean! Wish them the best! read more

Exceptionally great sandos! Tried the Melrose and it was soooo delicious. The bread is slightly broken up, soft, and served warm. I don't know what was inside but it was the perfect match of texture and savor. Would be 5 stars of they had a hot sauce. Grear for a walk by, and definitely shareable. read more

Came during the lunch rush on a Tuesday and man, GCM was packed! I opted for this store since the line was moving pretty fast in comparison, and sandwiches do not take long to make vs other places. Took about 10 minutes from the time of ordering to get my sandwich. I ordered the Melrose in a medium. I like how they give you a lot of meat, and how the sauces and seasonings don't feel overpowering. A medium is perfect for someone on their lunch, but might be a little big if you have even a slightly smaller appetite. The bacon could've been more crispy, but overall the sandwich lived up to the expectations. The bread was a little flat and not as crunchy/flavorful as I would've liked. I also wished they had more bread options other than dutch crunch, but maybe that's a possibility in the future. Although the shop's lines and employees may seem busy, they pump out food quickly at an affordable price that's guaranteed to fill you up. Definitely recommend for any tourist/local! read more

I'm back for round 2 and this place doesn't disappoint. My buddy and I had the "kicken chicken" and it was great. The breads have a good sweet taste along with just the right amount of crunch. My buddy said, "I don't like sandwiches much but this one was good." Side note, he's a foodie. I don't enjoy spicy foods but this sandwich has the right amount of spicy. Overall, you cant go wrong with this place. read more

Been meaning to try ghost sando for awhile and finally got to check it off my list. We ordered the Melrose, which comes stacked with ham, turkey, and bacon, and it's such filling sandwich. We also tried the firebird, which comes with pastrami turkey, chipotle mayo and all the fixings. This one was my favorite. The meat ratio is great here. They're known for their Dutch crunch bread, which tastes amazing. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and it holds everything together perfectly. Service was quick and efficient, especially considering how busy GCM gets. I can definitely see why people call this one of the best sandwich spots in LA. Left very full and already mentally bookmarking it for my next sandwich craving. read more

I recently tried the spicy chicken sandwich at Ghost sando and it was a decent experience overall. The sandwich itself was fine - nicely crispy on chicken with Dutch crunch bread on the outside, which I appreciated. Interestingly, they also included ham on the other side of the sandwich. Less chicken though The regular size wasn't quite enough to satisfy a full craving - it felt more like a good snack-sized bite rather than a complete meal. If you're looking for something substantial, you might want to consider ordering additional items or getting the 2 larger sizes. The service was efficient, with quick ordering at the counter. The staff seemed to keep things moving smoothly. Would I go back? Yes, I'd be interested in trying different items on their menu to get a better sense of what they offer. While the spicy chicken sandwich didn't completely blow me away, it was solid enough to warrant another visit to explore their other options. Price $12 for regular size. read more

I was really craving a good sandwich for quite some time and the Ghost Sando Shop in Grand Central Market really satisfied my craving. The secret to what makes these sandwiches so special is the Dutch crunch bread. It's essentially a very soft bread that's fluffy on the inside but has a crunchy, slightly sweet coating that just makes for the perfect sandwich bread. The plot thickens once you get to what's inside the bread. The sandwich is jam packed with meats, cheese, veg, and sauce (the exact contents depend on which sandwich you choose). I chose the "Santa Monica" sandwich, which was packed with pastrami, turkey, bacon, melted pepper jack cheese, "Melrose Spread," roasted red peppers, and sprouts. This sandwich was jam-packed with flavor. The meats tasted fresh. I got the large size and it was a hefty sandwich - you will not be leaving this deli hungry, that's for sure. The service was good; they did take their time, but I appreciate that they made sure it was made fresh and up to par. It's a small stand In the Grand Central market, and they have both counter seating by the deli as well as plenty of tables just in front of the counter. I think this will be a regular for me anytime I visit Grand Central Market! read more

Stopped here yesterday for the first time while in the food hall. The employee was friendly and patient. I went with the smallest size. The Dutch crunch bread is the best! I had turkey with provolone. I really enjoyed the sandwich. I also had the pineapple passion fruit drink which was really good. read more

I was in Los Angeles and couldn't decide where to eat, but I love a good food hall, so I decided to revisit Grand Central Market. I came here on my first trip to LA years ago and had almost forgotten about it until a quick Google search for a good sandwich led me to Ghost Sando Shop. Something about the bread caught my attention, and when I'm unsure of what I want, a good sandwich and chips always do the trick. I ordered the club sandwich, which came with turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and a few other toppings. It was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I went with the 6-inch, which they mentioned is a newer size option, and it was just right since I don't eat as much as I used to. Paired with a bag of chips, it made for a simple yet satisfying lunch. I'm glad I rediscovered Grand Central Market and found this spot--Ghost Sando Shop definitely hits the mark for a great sandwich in downtown LA. read more

Wow! Might be one of the best sandwiches I have eaten, what makes it special is the crispy but soft bread (unlike those crusty bread that rips off the skin from the roof of your mouth, ouch!). Generously stuffed depending on the size of the sandwhich. I loved it so much I bought another one for my lunch. Yes, it's a bit pricey compared to other sandwich joints but it's quality! Very friendly and efficient staff. It's inside GCM so expect the crowd and the bustling market ambiance. Ordered the Niki and Club. read more

My new favorite sandwich shop! Decided to check out Grand central and had to stop at Ghost Sando since I've heard so many good things. While it's in the middle of other store fronts, it would be hard to miss with all the signs. The menu is extensive but I went with the BLT sandwich after asking which sandwich's were the most popular. I wasn't disappointed. The sandwich was a huge portion, flavorful and delicious. Service was great and moved quickly. I would say it took about 10 minutes for me to get my sandwich which wasn't a crazy wait since other people had put in orders as well. Grand central is overall busy but you can't miss the restaurant and you shouldn't have an issue finding somewhere to sit. It's a lively place but it's also fun as well! Highly recommend! read more

Everyone knows a pool day calls for sandwiches! I ordered a club sandwich and while it was tasty, one side of the sandwich was soggy!! I've had ghost sandwiches before albeit from the Fairfax location but those sandwiches came delivered perfect. We ordered from the DTLA shop as we were just around the corner so I figured the sandwiches would be extra good because we are so close there's not a chance it would get soggy that fast. Well I was wrong lol. Idk if it was due to the store or the delivery person. Soggy sandwiches are never it but we did our best and ate around the soggy parts. Love the Dutch crunch bread! read more

Super disappointment with my order. Ordered on ubereats and was given the option to modify ingredients which I appreciated since im allergic to mayonnaise and not a fan of onions. I opened my sandwich and took a big bite when onions immediately fell out. I didnt big deal it since I could easily remove them however, when I opened it to take a look it was filled with mayo. Very disappointing since it was clearly listed on the order and bag. read more

Made it out to GCM and knew I had to finally give Ghost Sando a shot. I ordered the firebird sub with regular Turkey and it did not disappoint. Everything was well made and delicious. But I do want to note the subs on the higher end, I paid nearly $40 for two subs and 1 bag of chips. I do wish the chipotle sauce was a bit more spicy but it was still a great bite. My friend ordered the pastrami mami and that was equally as delicious. The service was great, your standard sandwich counter. GCM is always bustling but there's tables both inside and out but we took our subs to go. read more

Grand Central Market is one of the few places to eat downtown and has lots of options. I ordered for pickup and the club sandwich was read on time and the servers were working hard. Lots of shared seating in the bustling food hall but I took my sandwich back to the office. It's pretty good. It reminds me of Ike's Love & Sandwiches, yet not quite as fresh with the ingredients. The club sandwich was tasty though and I'd come back. Prices skew high here being of the scarcity of food places downtown. read more

I was at Grand Central Market in Downtown LA originally planning to stop at Villas Tacos, but the line was insanely long that day... My partner suggested Ghost Sando since he's been there plenty of times before, and I'm so glad we switched it up because it was my first time trying it. The cashier was nice and friendly right from the start, which always makes a difference, especially in a busy market setting. Even with the crowds, the service felt welcoming and efficient. My partner usually gets the tuna and swears by it, but I decided to try the pastrami... and wow. It was so delicious. The pastrami was flavorful and tender, the bread was fresh and perfectly toasted, and everything was balanced so well. Every bite was satisfying without feeling overly heavy. Even with how packed the market was, the food came out fresh and hot. You can definitely see why this is a regular go to for people. I'll absolutely be back next time I'm in Downtown LA and craving a sand which! read more

As an avid sandwich lover and someone who spends way to much time at the Grand Central Market, it was finally time to have my first sandwich from Ghost Sando Shop. This shop is located right in the first aisle and thanks to it's bright paint job and cool aesthetic, this place is pretty hard to miss. The menu here has consists of both breakfast and lunch, offering three sandwich sizes, as well as a pretty solid selection for both meal times. Even though it was hard to decide, I finally pulled the trigger on the "Kickin' Chicken" and a pineapple passionfruit drink to help wash it down. There were four of us and the food didn't take too long to come out, but thanks to this place being packed it can be pretty difficult to find a place to sit down sometimes. The pineapple passionfruit drink was absolutely delicious! It was super fruity, cold, and as refreshing as a drink could be. The Kickin' Chicken sandwich was a pretty decent size considering I ordered the smallest one, but packed some dang good flavour for the chicken which also had whatever the blast spread is, chipotle adobo spread, melted mozzarella, cheddar cheese, lettuce, pickled jalapeno, toato, white onion, and some of the best bread I've had with a sandwich in a long time. IT WAS SO GOOD! Overall, Ghost Sando Shop is the premier sandwich place in Los Angeles and I totally get why now. Quick service, solid prices, and amazing food is going to bring me back here many more times! read more

So I said today is the day I'm gonna call-in this mofo in and pick up on opening, when only half of the Grand Central Market is full (Its the 11am brunch crowd in full effect to avoid paying for 2 meals you can't hide from me fools.) Few pros and cons about the "Pastrami Mami" Pros: Ordered "Large" and its packed with meat and everything else. Lots of toppings. The pastrami is nice and thin, easy to chew, and not like some places that serve leather saddle-like thickness. Dutch Crunch bread always a fave. Cons: Although packed good, there's not much to make it a signature sandwich IMO. Which leads to my next con: Price: Paid almost 20 bucks for a sandwich I can get a comparable portion, filling, and taste for around 5 bucks less at Ike's. Pre-packaged bread...I know said love the Dutch crunch, but it makes such a HUGE difference to have freshly baked bread on site. I don't like seeing rolls wrapped in plastic, but that's just me. (I know unrealistic for each place to have freshly made bread, but after trying Bread Head in Manhattan Beach, think I'm spoiled for life.) 3.5 stars rounding up to 4 for something I prob wont be back for just for the sake of convenience and similarity to Ike's which is a lot closer, and is always ready when ordered on app, plus a 5 spot cheaper, by no means bad. Would eat again in a heartbeat if closer and easier to access. read more
