    2nd time coming here & sandwiches do not miss! Cute little sandwich joint in Sierra madre! I got the pastrami no chaser with sourdough added jalepenos & peppers to my sandwich & looooove it! The quality pastrami is so good & juicy! They are absolutely delicious! I need to come back on a Thursday - Sunday to try their tri tip sandwich! Always a pleasure, Got to meet Perry himself & what a joyous guy! Will be back soon (:

    WOW TALK ABOUT HIDDEN GEMS!!! This one is IT. Mind you we leave near by and have never visited this place up until recently. They have sandwiches, hot dogs, smoothies and ice cream. Also healthy green juices! We came in on a whim, I got the roast beef sandwhich, my husband got a turkey sandwich. Both were MEATY HEARTY and a mouth FULL. YUMMY FLAVOR and fresh ingredients! The ambiance is easy and welcoming, the people working have a smile on their face from the moment you open the door to upon completing your order. The jazz vibes are a super sweet touch. JOHN COLTRANE. Enough said. Pick up to go or come in and sit down to eat they have space. This place is a GEM. Upon reviewing I found they have other locations... we will definitely be visiting soon!

    Hey Joe Sandwich
    Eubene K.

    Cute little sandwich shop! Has so much soul with all the decor and music that sets the tone. Sandwiches are no joke! Big as my hand! Inside was nice and quiet Workers were chill and sandwich pros Definitely coming back! Big band is where it's at Big Joe looks good but feel like the hot link over takes the flavor!

    Hip bird (bottom) & Hey Joe (top)

    We were looking for a place to stop by along the way and wanted to try this out. We went ahead to order in advance by placing our order through the phone, which is pretty convenient tbh. When we got there, we found it's located in a medical plaza, so it's not at an obvious place to find! Street parking would be your best bet. The joint itself was very spacious, ample of tables, but also many others waiting for their order. We saw that even though we placed our phone order ahead, it seemed like the employees were working pretty slowly... which makes sense for the hold up of people waiting for their sandwiches. Getting our sandwiches, we got the Hip Bird and the Hey Joe sandwich. Honestly the Hip Bird is a very classic sandwich, although I wish there was more avocado on it. Everything tasted fresh but the more I ate, the more I thought about how I could've just made this sandwich at home lol. Nothing too impressive, but it's not really worth the price you're paying for it unless you're lazy. Also the mustard sauce in it didn't seem like it enhanced it that much. Wish there was something more special about it. As for the Hey Joe, it's definitely all the meats in one sandwich that my bf enjoys, but that destroyed him LOL it was so heavy, very greasy, just heart clogging. The sandwich is good, but makes you feel pretty terrible about yourself (unless you enjoy it all the way). Otherwise, service was mid, sandwiches are okay. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit here again.

    We came in for a sandwich after my husband found them on Yelp. We entered and were greeted as we browsed their menu posted above their counter. We ordered a Hey Joe sandwich to share and a cherry lemonade. I was reluctant to order that large of a sandwich but my husband wanted it so I went along with his choice. It took a while for our sandwich to be ready, but it was worth the wait. It was filled with pastrami, roast beef, melted cheese, and a hot link. I ate a quarter of it and my husband had no problem finishing the rest of it. The restaurant seemed to be popular with locals as we saw a number of take out orders, as well as diners inside and on their patio. If in the area, I'd stop in again. Street parking, but be careful of traffic if you need to cross the street.

    The Guru Sandwich
    Jessica Y.

    There is street parking in front of the restaurant. They have both indoor and outdoor patio seating. I tried the guru sandwhich which is a hot sandwhich on wheat bread. It was so delicious. Lots of fillings. Juicy meat with crunch vegetables. I really liked the sandwhich. Staff is very nice there. It was a very hot day and he offered me a cup to get iced water. Very spacious inside.

    The Hip Bird Sandwich and Pastrami Sandwich (No Chaser)
    Sara K.

    Great local sandwich shop- support Altadena small business! Artfully assembled sandwiches with fresh plentiful ingredients and nice customer service. Hip Bird had lots of turkey and went really well on sweet wheat. Also got the pastrami on sourdough too. Both sandwiches were excellent, but the pastrami was 10/10!

    Egg salad sandwich
    Mike P.

    Expertly crafted sandwiches overstuffed with goodness. We love coming to this little shop and supporting Altadena businesses. Perry is often present at the restaurant and stops by to say hello to customers. You just don't see that kind of personal attention much. He runs a great shop. I tried the veggie dog Detroit style. It's pretty good. Of course veggie dogs aren't the same thing as beef hot dogs, but putting on some delicious toppings makes it very enjoyable. Parking seems to be relegated to street parking. There is a lot behind the restaurant but it appears to be for the medical offices in the building.

    Amazing sandwich spot. Friendly and welcoming service. Plenty of seating. Love the jazz music they play.

    The freshest sandwich around. Easily feeds two people. Service is great and fast. Yum!

    The Guru
    Haley W.

    Now that Pas Sandwich Co is gone I decided I needed to try a new local spot and Perry's Joint did not disappoint! Easy street parking, large building, clean and neat. The staff was super friendly while taking my order and started a little conversation while I waited for my food. The wait was a bit long considering it wasn't busy but I didn't mind much. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and they had no problem with my dog sitting on the patio with me. I loved the art they had on display, just a place with great vibes and great sandwiches. I was shocked by how phenomenal the pastrami was considering they're not a pastrami specific shop. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    Tri-tip
    Jaime R.

    Perry's Joint in Sierra Madre, CA, serves delicious, huge, and lovingly crafted sandwiches. I've tried the Hip Bird - turkey with lettuce, avocado on fresh dark wheat bread - and the Tri-Tip Sandwich, both of which were fantastic. The sandwiches are fresh, filling, and made with high-quality bread and condiments. Just a heads-up: order in advance and avoid the busy lunch hours, or be prepared to wait. This isn't a fast food joint, but it's definitely worth the wait! After the fires, please support this local, Black-owned business - you won't regret it!

    The Tuna Simone Sandwich
    Tu T.

    So good. I had no time to make lunch this morning so I checked out Perry's Joint nearby. I ordered the Tuna Simone/tuna melt on sourdough. This thing was HUUGE (which is great because I was starving). I could only eat half bc it was so big (excuse the janky picture). So delicious. The icing on the cake was the great customer service from the gentlemen working behind the counter. I highly recommend!

    If you are referring to the outdoor patio area, yes. Plenty. We sat int he courtyard outside of the place.

    There was outdoor seating available when I visited in February 2022. There was also really cool, classic jazz playing outside-- an added bonus.

    Bread options: Wheat, rye, sourdough, squaw. Croissant 50¢ extra

One of the eggs arrived destroyed so it was already runny and the other one was a little overcooked so it wasn't perfectly poached as I was expecting but it wasn't too big of a deal. The ham was a little dry and salty but the avocado was very delicious and fresh. The egg muffin was quite cold and dry so it wasn't too enjoyable. The garden salad was pretty basic and just had some greens, corn, and tomatoes so nothing too special. The potatoes arrived cold, dry and slightly crunchy. It was extremely salty so it was hard to enjoy Overall, I thought the food was a little pricey and underwhelming unfortunately.

The woman taking our order did not seem to know what Celiac disease or gluten even was, and became visibly annoyed when I asked basic questions about food preparation and cross contamination. When I asked about the prep station and whether gloves or utensils could be changed, she refused to ask the cooks. From what I was told, nearly everything shares the same grill. The only item that might potentially be safe would be eggs cooked in a separate pan, but without changing gloves or utensils, even that would not actually be safe for someone with Celiac disease. I ended up not eating at all. I actually left my party and waited in the car because I wanted to cry. It was embarrassing and honestly heartbreaking to feel like asking questions to protect my health was treated like an inconvenience. I completely understand not every restaurant can accommodate Celiac, but kindness, honesty, and basic understanding go a long way. I hope the staff can receive better education about food allergies and cross contamination in the future.

So rich, flavorful, and exactly the kind of thing I wanted to keep drinking forever. The actual noodles and beef were a little underwhelming though. At one point the noodles kind of gave instant noodle vibes, which felt like a missed opportunity because the broth deserved better. I almost wish there were different noodle options or honestly just less noodles because I mostly just wanted to sip the broth. We also tried the ube gnocchi, which sounded amazing in theory, but it ended up being a little too creamy for me and I did not get as much ube flavor as I was hoping for. The real standout besides that incredible broth was the chicken wings. So crispy, so tender, and ridiculously flavorful. Absolutely would order those again.
