Today's review is for the cheese steak sandwich. A client of mine who also frequents the Sandwich Zone really put me on when he recommended the cheese steak. It is pretty damn good and everything I expect a cheese steak to be; cheesy, meaty, juicy, and rich. I can totally see why it's his favorite and I'll definitely be treating myself to one here and there. Note: There will be a small cheese pull when you open that sandwich up. A little cheese pull never hurts :) read more

Best place ever. Super affordable for anyone on a budget and the owners are the sweetest people ever. I used to eat here almost every day when I was a Berkeley student. Locally owned small business and very filling sandwiches. I basically survived on this place for years due to my inability to cook lol give it a try for sure. The owners love their regulars and they remember you and your orders read more

This is a pretty good place to grab a quick bite for lunch. The people at the counter are nice and sandwiches are freshly made. Depending on the sandwich, they usually come out warm. The wait isn't too long, but it also depends on how many in-person and online orders are ahead of you. There are a bunch of options for sandwiches and a build-your-own option if that's of your liking. My go-to is always the chipotle chicken sandwich which is very tasty! The prices are reasonable and the portions are quite filling. Just be aware that there's a 3.99% credit card charge regardless of how much you spend, so try to bring cash if you're planning on coming here. Another note to add is that the UC Berkeley Perimeter Line bus stop is right in front of Sandwich Zone. If I was lucky I would just catch the bus to get to my next class after getting a sandwich. read more

I have recently been on an adventure to try every sandwich place around Berkeley and Sandwich Zone has ranked up in my top 5! It's a small storefront but has an upstairs area with tables. I got the Richard Dagwood and the sandwich was packed! Bread was really soft and ingredients were fresh. The food is reasonably priced. I recommend bringing cash because there is an extra charge (3.99%) for using a credit card. The owners are the kindest people. I went near closing time with a group of friends on a Friday and the man brought out a tray of cookies for us :) read more

Not bad at all but definitely not as great as all these reviews show. It's an average sandwich place at best. I guess my expectations of a 5-star sandwich place is different than most of the folks who eat here. Or maybe it's because this is close to a high school and college campus and it was reviewed mostly by students. The staff is very nice and it's affordable. There are much better sandwich places close by but they are also more expensive. read more

Solid sandwich location. Good price to portion ratio. The staff slice the meat when ordered. The bread tasted fresh. It's right by the Cal campus. It has limited hours and close by 3 pm every day. They're closed on weekends. There are a few tables upstairs and two small ones in front. Definitely a quick bite to eat type place. Would not recommend large groups. They do have Wi-Fi so if you're alone it wouldn't be bad. Would come again for a sandwich read more

Was feeling a hot chicken pesto sandwich, and this one was good enough. The sourdough was pleasant, the chicken was chicken, and the sauce was yummy. There's a nice upstairs seating area. It's affordable. Not much to say. It seems like the cold avocado ish sandwiches here are more popular. Maybe I'll check them out later. My mocha was pretty terrible - very watery. That's what I deserve for getting cheap coffee at a sandwich shop though, so don't let this deter you. read more

And the sandwiches are SO good -- phat sandwiches bursting with tons of fresh crunchy veggies. All for under $10 bucks!! It's practically impossible to get lunch for under ten dollars these days, but this place is reliable for good food, plus fast and friendly service.

Mom & pop shop making affordable (less than $10!) sandwiches that I like to support. However a couple things: 1. Sandwiches are pretty good. I usually get the chipotle dagwood or dagwood. They correctly put the cheese on the bottom. However, they put the tomato right above the cheese! Whaaaat? Not sure if this is the first time or if I just hadn't noticed past times. It was in this order: top - lettuce middle - meat next - tomato bottom - cheese The tomato should be with the lettuce!!!!! 2. I really hope they invest in remodeling the interior to make the place comfortable to dine in. They need to update the entire interior. Especially in light of the hotel project on the corner being built, if they want all those potential customers. I wouldn't mind a small price increase so they can make the place nice, comfortable, and modern. Currently, I always pick up the sandwich and eat it elsewhere. - Redesign the staircase/storage area so that boxes under the stairs won't be visible to everyone - Play actual music instead of the radio. Every time I come in, the radio is playing a long commercial block. Ugh and I second another reviewer's suspicion about items in the display case. You should probably stick with fresh-made sandwiches. read more

They have an intriguing selection of house made sausages-- the Chicken Tikka Masala sausage caught my eye and I can't wait to try it. They also sell whole smoked quail that are seasoned heavily yet each bite has just the right amount of smokiness, spices, and salt. Their hot food items and sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch during your break from work or on your way home. There are also a few counter seats if you want to enjoy your meal there. So far I've tried the smoked quail, the Muffaletta sandwich, and their green lentil soup with chicken + veg. The sandwich was filled to the brim and each bite was a flavor bomb.

Theres a few tables out front but if you get lucky enough to get a parking spot close, just bust that ho open and throw down on the trunk. Menu is halal and options are extensive. Fried Chicken Sandwiches are good as are the wings but my go to is the Beast Mode cheesesteak or the Prince Of Berkeley, can't go wrong either way. 4/5 always good especially late night Bonus: if your here late night you might as well check kingpin up the block and see if they've got hot donuts.

The food is always hot, fresh, seasoned to perfection and hella good. The establishment is always clean as well. I left before my fries were done. The guy hunted me down and ran me my fries.
