The Hot Pastrami was good and well balanced, an easy choice if you're not sure what else to get, but The Monster was my favorite. Loaded with Cajun turkey, roast beef, avocado, jalapeños, honey mustard and Cajun mayo, there was a lot of flavor packed into every bite. The dark sweet bread pulled everything together and added a nice contrast to the savory fillings. It definitely lived up to the name! The place has a casual, old-school neighborhood deli feel that fits the food perfectly. The portions were generous, and service was friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu.

I passed by this restaurant a few days ago and decided to drop in for a quick sandwich to do. It…read morewas my first time here. I ordered the hot pastrami sandwich. It was very good. I prefer pastrami on rye with no lettuce but this sandwich was very good and a very filling meal. The staff were very friendly. I had a few questions and they were very patient. Pricing was what I would expect to pay for such a good sandwich. For the reason I highly recommend this establishment.

The good: I got the #18 sandwich which had several different…read moreproteins on their famous dutch crunch bread with their dirty sauce (it's like a garlic aioli with other spices in it). My husband really loved the sandwich and said it was a perfect sandwich for him. There's a giant list of vegetarian options. I liked that they had a couple of special menu items that are specific to this Torrance location. They sell drinks and some fun juices as well. Their pre-bottled drink options were also interesting and included a lot of great options like root beers. They cater, sell gift cards, and do fundraisers. They have a kids menu that offers simpler sandwiches but also nuggets and chicken strips. I definitely plan to cater with them in the future. The bad: I wanted to eat the full sandwich but it was too many calories so I shared it with my husband. The interesting: I've been to several NorCal locations so I was excited to se them open one here in Torrance. The numbers for the sandwiches are really random and aren't in order. Some are half numbers. Ike's cartoon picture is everywhere in the store. There's also a wall of Ike with famous celebrities.

Ive been to Ikes at different locations anddddd they kinda always botched my orders. But this spot, which I didnt know was right down the street until like a month ago, has been on point. Super nice staff. In person and online orders have always been done right. If u haven't been to ikes they have pretty damn good sandwiches. Really nice bread, bland everything is fresh. My only beef with them used to be that id end up with mayo on every order even though i hate that stuff and always ask for no mayo. Its a big part of who I am as a person, that goes for BS fake aioli too...thats just mayo with seasoning. Real aioli is...ok still generally unnecessary . Seriously the fake stuff is like mayo with garlic and lemon its disgusting. But...i digress. This place has really good sandwich options. Always a chill vibe inside and is just a good place to grab a bite. I also like the fact they have a solid selection of cheese choices (I wish they'd have green peppers...maybe they do and ive never asked) and u never see your sandwich cut with a knife that has the residue of the last 18 orders on its blade...shout out to Jared. Ok B-Walk, 1 luv, im back from stalking k-pop acts across the country...thats right BTS...im your creepiest fan

My favorite salad is the Olive Branch, it has chicken, feta, artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, garbanzo crisps, cucumbers, and tomatoes. You can get it stacked or tossed. I get it tossed if I eat there and stacked it I take it to go. They have wraps and smoothies and bowls too. Service is friendly and pretty fast. They have a few tables inside and some outside, it wouldn't be a big group place if you're eating inside because the tables are small. You just gotta try this place!!

Was here on a weekend afternoon and the options to order were at the counter or two kiosks. There were a couple of customers ahead of me so opted for the kiosk. I tend to like salads in a wrap in general so the Olive Branch was a great option for me. It's organic chicken, lettuce mix, feta, Greek olives, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, cucumbers, parmesan-garlic, garbanzo bean crunch, and Mediterranean dressing. Fresh, filling, and delicious! They are cut into two halves. Could not finish most of the 2nd half and took it home. It kept well and hubby enjoyed the rest of it later. Did not try a beverage as I had my own water and refilled at their complimentary water dispenser at the counter. They have some smoothie options that I am curious to try at the next visit. One particular is the Green Glow up which is organic milk, local honey, spinach, banana, orange, avocado, pineapple and chia seeds. I had minimal interaction with the gal at the counter. She was kind. Location is in the Torrance Crossroads next to IHOP. Parking is shared with several businesses. Avoid parking near In N Out as it is usually congested in that part of the Crossroads. Very pleasant experience here! Healthy, fresh, and delish is 4 stars worthy.

The owner was there and couldn't have been more welcoming. She's been at this for two decades and that warmth comes through.

[Review #709] 2022 Yelp 100 Challenge (30/100)…read more We moved in mid-November 2022, & my colleagues recommended Metro Cafe for its convenient location & hours. Located on the southeast side of the Park Del Amo office building, the cafe serves up classic breakfast & lunch items: breakfast sandwiches & burritos; omelettes; quesadillas; oatmeal; bagels; smoothies; hot, cold, & specialty sandwiches; Metro specialties; salads. There's enough walkable options since the PDA sits on the busy corner of Crenshaw & Sepulveda Blvds., but for those that prefer to stay on campus, Metro Cafe offers convenient business hours with breakfast served until 10:30 AM. I was rather hungry on a Friday morning, & called in an order of BACON, EGG & CHEESE POTATO BURRITO while en route to the office. After I dropped off my laptop, I moseyed my way down to the cafe & my burrito was ready by the time I paid. The burrito came with a small container of red salsa, possibly from a jar, still tasty with a mild kick; I would prefer a spicier version. It was a decent size burrito & somewhat hefty... just enough to satiate my morning hangriness. The burrito was nice & crispy with just the right amount of filling that I'm not just eating the tortilla at the first & last bites. I got a little of everything with each bite: bacon, egg, cheese, & potatoes, though I prefer a thicker bacon cut. No wow factor, just a classic, no frills breakfast burrito that satisfies. The mid-sized cafe offers a clean & spacious dining room as well as patio seating, especially nice during spring through fall. With a concentrated classic menu, prices range from inexpensive to moderate, & value-worthy on some menu items. I can't speak for everything since this is my 1st visit, but my colleagues & I do enjoy Metro Cafe's food. Adding fast & friendly service, yeah, I'll definitely be back. Recommended: Bacon, Egg & Cheese Potato Burrito; colleagues' recommendations: Harvest Salad with Chicken, Tuna Supreme Sandwich.
