    King Louie on Sweet
    Adam B.

    So like when did subs start costing $21.67? It's not like this is some fancy carvery where they smoke pastrami in-house and slice large chunks to order. It's just your typical offering of deli meats and cheeses and along with some chicken (grilled or breaded). Tastes alright, about what you'd expect in a sub, but seems a bit overpriced. King Louie on Sweet: I asked for a recommendation of what's popular and was steered in this direction. It seemed to be cordon bleu inspired with breaded chicken, ham and swiss cheese. Though the breaded chicken was kinda weird, seemed like diced chicken tenders that occasionally had some gristle... whole cutlets would have been better. While it looked big, it actually didn't seem overly meaty, with the lettuce giving it a lot of the height. It was decent, but not anything I'd insist all my colleagues try. Italian Jungle on Sourdough: The Italian is usually my go to by default since I like the variety of meats and it's more exciting than the typical turkey, ham and roast beef cold cuts. This one was $19.95 and not $21.67; I suspect they didn't charge tax since it wasn't toasted. The meat and veggie combo was nice with mortadella (bougie bologna), prosciutto (bougie ham) and some other nice Italian meats. It actually felt more substantive than the King Louie, since those Italian meats with the provolone are richer than chicken tender bits. Main complaint though is that it was too bready. It was indeed a nice sourdough, but very thick and very chewy. I kinda felt like a chipmunk with filled cheeks just chewing and chewing and chewing. Brass Monkey on Wheat: This one was $21.67. It's a weird name for a pretty basic meatball sub. It was a tad dry. I totally get that you don't want the other extreme of so much sauce that the bread gets soggy and falls apart, but I feel there was a lot of latitude here to add more sauce than just the light spread. The meatballs were alright, the squishy kind, not the homemade crumbly kind. Had provolone by default, but might have been better with stringy mozzarella. Also, the wheat tasted weirdly a little sweet.

    I happen to walk in because they put a sign out on the sidewalk and I'm always looking for new places to eat since I work down the street. Everything was fine. My order took a little long and it didn't seem crowded at all, but they did offer me free chips or a drink to compensate. Sandwich was delicious and I did enjoy it and I'm happy to have a place nearby to go to for lunch.

    Angry Chicken on Dutch Crunch
    Chris N.

    Found a sandwich shop within steps from my workplace. Their Mango Sweets Tea is delicious. Decent sandwiches and fairly priced. Falls in the Togos class of sandwich shops. Got an Angry Chicken on Dutch Crunch Roll. My only complaint is roll had no crunch and the combo price is set slightly above other sandwich shops. Staff is actively busy even when the crowds are slow which shows me they care about the business. If I find myself not in the mood for a sandwich, I will definitely swing by to buy a Mango Sweet Tea.

    Italian Jungle

    Good sized sandwich for the price point. Not sure if I'd pay $21 for a large sized. Service was very good! Gave solid recommendations and greeted as soon as I entered. Would for sure go back. Got the Italian jungle sandwich. Would get again as well but probably won't since there are so many solid looking options.

    Fresh, fast, and full of flavor--Sandwich Monkey is my new go-to sandwich spot in San Francisco! Tucked into a clean and modern space, this place is all about quality ingredients, affordable prices, and plenty of options. The sandwich I had was stacked with fresh veggies, tender meat, and nestled in soft, hearty oat wheat bread--just one of several tasty bread choices they offer. What really impressed me was the attention to freshness. Every bite tasted crisp and clean, like it was made just for me (because it was!). The menu is straightforward but full of flavor combinations that will please any kind of sandwich lover. Plus, the drink and snack selection rounds out a perfect quick lunch. The vibe inside is casual and welcoming, with plenty of room to dine in or grab and go. The staff was friendly, efficient, and clearly takes pride in what they do. Bonus points for how tidy and well-organized everything is--from the prep counter to the seating area. If you're in SF and need a reliable, delicious, and budget-friendly sandwich spot, Sandwich Monkey is the move. Will definitely be back!

    Wow! In a bit of a rush and was in need of something quick as take-out. Pleasantly surprised by the…read moreMafioso. Amazing quality of freshcut meats and a very hefty sandwich. Ordered and walked out in the span of 10 min. Very italian deli with tiramisus and cannolis. Tons of italian snacks and puff pastries, and a convenient location to pickup anything from beers/wines to premade cannoli shells and gelato. One thing to note is you cannot customize the sandwich, not sure about the pizzas, which smelled delicious. They only make speciality sandwiches on their menu, but surely can't go wrong with any of the choices. They're packed with a sizeable amount of meat as well as greens. The half was enough to fill me up and they were kind enough to wrap them separately.

    my friends and I stopped by for sandwiches at limoncello after seeing all the rave about it online…read more there were so many options and we were also excited to see the deli was actually part of a larger italian grocery store and grabbed some italian sodas too! we were a bit disappointed by the sandwiches themselves- for $18, we felt that the proportions were a bit off. it still tasted great and ingredients were high quality, but there was a monstrous amount of meat and lettuce so it was hard to get any of the other flavors. the portions were huge though, which is a plus. overall, the store was very cute, clean, and seemed like it stocked authentic italian ingredients. the service was pretty quick since we just ordered at the counter, and they are all very friendly.

    This is probably the only place where the sandwiches don't taste like the store's essence…read more I mean, don't get me wrong, a store's essence from any given deli/liquor store definitely adds unique character to the sandwich and sometimes I want that in a sandwich. But when you want a sandwich that only tastes like its ingredients, Irving Subs is the spot. Their Dutch crunch is famous for being fresh and actually crunchy. Their lettuce is shredded but fresh and crispy. The salt content is just enough to bring out the flavors. And the overall composition of their sandwiches are very well proportioned. You're not getting skimped, but you're also not biting into a mouthful of a packet of deli meat. They definitely know what they are doing. Service is good and ambiance is a small humble shop on the corner of 12th Ave.

    Wait did I really just order a sub two days in a row? Before this, my last visit was prepandemic…read more It's been that long! The subs are so good and fairly priced. Mr.Happy is my favorite thus far. It's packed with fresh ingredients and enough to feed one hungry Mr or Mrs. You'll sure be happy after this meal. What's even better is that they have a dining area next next door. It's clean and filled with games if you just wanna hang out.

    #1...PRICES!!!??? There are NO prices listed for the sandwiches! What kind of place doesn't have…read moreprices. I'm tryna figure out how many sandwiches I can buy, with my $50. I ask the guy at the counter and it seems like he just THROWS out a number off the top of his head, depending on how a person looks. SHADY! No matter what the ingredients, he said a medium is $17.39. Which I thought was funny; tri-tip is the same price as bologna??? O...k. #2. What's up with the sizes; small, medium, and large? I haven't been to Roxie's in 15-20 years. They only had one size back then. Yesterday, I got a medium, but the only thing medium was the length of the bread. What was in between the bread(meat, veggies, condiments), could have fit in a small. My sandwich was empty. Lastly #3. Weighing the meat?! WTH! Old Roxie's just made the sandwich. Eyeballed it. I watched the sandwich-makers continuously weighing 2 ounces of meat. That's not much, for $17. This isn't Roxie's. This new owner is living off the old Roxie's reputation. NEVER going back! Not worth the price or wait. And put some numbers up(Prices)!
