What a delightful find! Thank you, Yelpers, for leading me here. I was nearby at MemorialCare visiting their urgent care.. and all of a sudden it became lunchtime, and all of the specialists when on lunch break. That meant I could pop out for lunch too! I didn't want to move my car and look for something... so I quickly looked for something within walking distance. Hello, Sub Shack No 12! There weren't a whole of pictures of the food, but I decided to give it a try based on the positive reviews and the extensive menu. 1) You can get almost any type of sub that you can imagine. 2) The lunch combo (sub and fruit salad) is a great deal. The fruit is really good 3) If you're not super hungry, I recommend maybe doing the half sub option? I had a lot of food.. but I was hungry, so that was OK :) 2018: 59/100 read more

I was looking for a quick lunch pick up and came across Sub Shack No 12. It appears to be family owned, with character decorating the walls (1000 piece dog puzzle in the back). Growing up my go-to sub was the meatball, and so I am always up to try that at new places. My verdict is that Sub Shack has a solid one. I chose the Medium size, which was a full size sub, so I would be surprised about how large the Large size is. The meat sauce is not too acidic or sweet, a nice balanced sauce with a robust flavor (likely from meat pieces in it). The sub came with 5 meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. The meat was seasoned, and combined with the sauce for a rich taste overall. The bread was nice and fresh hoagie roll, and so it helped to absorb the sauce and also filled me up. The sub came with a extra side of meat sauce, which was temperature hot. Enough sauce was put on the sub that it did not need any more, and if extra was added then the bread started to come apart and get messy. Every sub comes with a side of macaroni, potato, or fruit salad. I selected the fruit salad, which was a mixture of common fruits (see pic). The portion size was sufficient for a side, though next time I plan to ask to hold the pickle and pepperoncini to get more fruit. I also ordered a can of soda, which was $1.50, a bit more expensive than anticipated. A positive first impression, and I am interested to return and try a few more things from the menu. read more

Awesome place to get sandwiches for lunch! Pretty quick and really friendly! This place is a walk away from my work, and it's my usual go-to when I don't bring lunch. I usually share with a coworker and get a large ($8.50 depending on the meat and there's only two sizes), pick the sandwich meat, cheese, and/avocado, and then they offer you sides such as fruit salad, macaroni salad, or potato salad. My favorites are salami with cheese or salami with cheese and avocado (that ones a little bit pricier with avocado). Got to try out the cappacola with cheese today and that was yummy! That sandwich is a french roll stuffed with the cappacola/capicola meat (Italian cold cut pork), mayonnaise, mustard, cheese (I chose provolone), shredded lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions--the veggies are the standard add ons and you can decide if you want to take anything out like mustard or mayo. Also got to try the meatball sub a day later and that was really good. *FOREWARNING* everything is made fresh and HOT in temperature including these meatballs and the meat marinara sauce (tomato sauce) that it comes with. Burned my mouth a few times whenever I took a bite or added the complimentary sauce that came on the side. It's a simple sandwich with about 7 big meatballs with tomato sauce over it in a french roll bread. Chose provolone cheese so that it didn't overpower the sauce. Would recommend eating the meatball and bread separately so you can dip more of the bread or meatballs in the sauce, but still great as a sandwich, just on the messier side. I always get the fruit salad and I have tried the potato salad. Pretty good potato salad, but it's on the heavy side. Fruits are seasonal and they range from apples, pineapples, grapes, watermelon, and honeydew. Made fresh and daily like everything else at the SubShack! read more

Great sandwich and for the price it's worth it. I enjoy my lunch after ordering a to-go here. The lady who made my sandwich got it out 5 mins after my order. The ingredients tasted fresh. Their side choice , the macaroni salad, is well made and being given a side of pickles and peppers are a plus too. I ordered the turkey, bacon, avocado and it was very delicious. The mustard and mayo ratio is well put in as well. Would come back again read more

Had to wait for a business nearby to come back from lunch to be helped so I decided to stop by for a sandwich while I waited. Ordered a tuna & cheese sandwich w/ a side of potato salad & a side of macaroni salad. Tuna sandwich I have to give an 8/10 rating, tuna was very flavorful & a healthy amount of it as well. Unfortunately the potato salad & macaroni salad were very bland in taste. Overall good place for a tuna sandwich but not so much for sides. Service was good & fast & employees were friendly. Place looked really clean as well. read more

Just driving down Newhope and saw this place (5/10/2021 at 12pm) in little office type complex, glad I stopped! Ordered one of the daily specials, man taking your order knows how to quickly move you through your bread and what you want on your sandwich in a pretty quick way. I did full size egg salad on squaw, came with soft drink, bag of chips, and potato salad. Large portion of egg salad that was super great in taste! Was just over $9, $11 out the door with tip was a great value for this lunch deal. Pro's Egg salad and squaw bread were awesome in freshness and taste! Great price for a large lunch combo. Spotless Clean. Nice man working the counter. Quick deliver food to table. Con's None. read more

I was deciding on where to snag lunch on my way to another store doing my rounds and I really wanted a sandwich. I decided to get the Turkado, some dirty Maui chips and drink. The total came to $17 and some change, not bad about the avg for the area and any lunch. The service was great, the woman who helped me was nice, and efficient, she helped me select what chips to get. Not much bantering but I do enough of that at work, so all good here. The store was clean, nice vibe, music. My order was ready in the time it took me to fill my soda cup and sit down to scroll 1 scroll thru outlook emails. Maybe 5-7 mins the woman who gave me my order asked if I wanted some secret sauce on the side, and put it in the bag. The bag felt heavy! The sub was huge! Probably 8inches bread was nice and springy, there was enough lettuce, tomato and sauces on it. I love the sunflower seeds, gives it a nice little crunch.

This review covers my experience across multiple locations, including Harbor Boulevard in Costa…read moreMesa and Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach. When I first started coming to Board and Brew, I would have given it a solid five stars, but my perspective has shifted after six years of exploring other local options in the county. The Evolution of the Experience: * Ingredients: While the food is definitely better than a pre-made deli sandwich from a grocery store, it isn't exactly top-tier. The bread and meat are good, but as you try more specialized places, you realize these are fairly standard. * The Famous Sauce: Their signature sauce is tasty, but it feels like it contains a high amount of monosodium glutamate (MSG). MSG is a neuro-exciter that can make people feel overstimulated or unwell after eating it, and it feels particularly intense in this recipe. * Consistency: Both the Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa locations were great initially, but they now feel more like a solid, middle-of-the-road option. The Best Use Case: * Catering & Events: Even with a three-star rating, this is absolutely the place I would go if I needed catering for a birthday party or a large event. Their pricing and preparation for bulk orders are hard to beat. Final Thoughts: If Yelp allowed half-stars, I'd probably give this a 3.5. It's a reliable, solid sandwich shop, but the ingredient quality and the intensity of the MSG in the sauce keep it from being a five-star favorite for me anymore. Edit: The owner replied to my comment about how their food is high quality, but 6 years of taste testing says otherwise. While you may not add pure MSG crystals to your sauce, it still contains MSG.It is misleading to claim "No MSG" or "High Quality" when the sauce relies on ingredients that are chemically identical to it. For instance: Tomatoes and Tomato Paste: These are among the highest natural sources of free glutamate. If the recipe uses tomato paste--as many copycats do--it will test positive for MSG. Soy Sauce & Worcestershire Sauce: Both frequently cited in recipes for this sauce, these contain naturally occurring MSG through fermentation or hydrolysis. Nutritional Yeast: Often used to provide a savory flavor, it naturally contains high levels of glutamate.Hydrolyzed Proteins: Ingredients like "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" (HVP) or "yeast extract" are processed specifically to release glutamates. Legally, a company might say they "don't use MSG" if they don't add the pure additive, but that is a technicality. MSG is linked to various health issues for sensitive individuals, and just because many consider it "safe" doesn't mean it's healthy or non-harmful. If the food is truly "high quality," why rely on these additives to create flavor? Best Wishes

The sandwich itself is almost like a chicken sloppy joe--it's bomb. * The Perks: I love that they still include those little caramel apple suckers with the order. It's a signature touch that I hope they never stop doing. * Rewards: Their point system is very favorable. I frequently get free drinks, chips, or discounts on my sandwiches. The Critiques: * Ingredients: Like a few other spots, this one makes me feel a bit "off" afterward. Since the meat is tossed in sauce and they add more to the bread, I suspect there might be some MSG involved. * Pricing: Things are getting expensive across the board, and I feel like most places--this one included--are overcharging by about $3. Five stars would only be achievable if the pricing was more reasonable. Final Thoughts: Despite the price and the "food coma" afterward, the #111 is too good to pass up. It's a solid four-star experience every time.

There was just enough moisture that the sandwich was easy to eat without falling apart. The fries were cooked to perfection. There is an assortment of sauces, but I opted for no sauce today. This was also my first Boylan Root Beer, and WOW--it took me right back to childhood and root beer floats. If you're old enough, then you KNOW what real root beer tastes like! I came for lunch the first time, and the place was packed, with seating filling up fast. This time I came for an early dinner: no line, no rush, and lots of places to sit! They close at 6 PM, so if you want an early dinner without the rush, make sure you come to Mario's Butcher Shop!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!

QUA Contemporary Chinese Cuisine

As expected from the Kei Concepts group, QUA Contemporary Chinese Cuisine in Fountain Valley…read morecertainly does not disappoint! We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday, and making a reservation in advance was definitely the right move--we were seated right away as soon as we arrived. The atmosphere immediately sets the mood. The interior is modern and stylish, featuring warm lighting, beautiful wall decor, and really creative, eye-catching ceiling light fixtures that give the space a chic, elevated feel. The menu offers an incredible variety of contemporary Chinese dishes, making it perfect for family-style dining. We ordered a wide assortment of plates to share, and every single dish was flavorful and executed to perfection. The highlight of the meal was definitely the noodle dishes--the texture of the hand-crafted noodles was top-tier, perfectly springy and chewy. Their HK style milk tea with cheese foam and grass jelly is highly recommended on the side note. I really enjoyed drinking it along with all my food. We finished our celebration with their mango shaved ice for dessert, which was refreshing, light, and the perfect sweet ending to an amazing meal. From the attentive service to the fantastic food and gorgeous setting, QUA made our birthday celebration special. Highly recommended for group gatherings or a nice dinner out!

It goes without saying that their general Tso's chicken wings ($16) are quite good. The wings are coated in a sticky chili, sesame, scallion sauce. It's sweet, spicy, and very flavorful. We also tried chili crunch burrata ($14). They used a Chinese donut instead of bread or crackers. It's a really nice touch paired with the creamy burrata and chili crisp. My second favorite thing I've tasted is the crispy shrimp red rice roll ($9.50). Crispy shrimp is rolled into a rice roll. It's an unexpectedly tasty bite. Several pieces come in one order so it's perfect for sharing. But my very favorite thing from the menu are the spicy sauce noodles ($12). It gives Din Tai Fung spicy sauce noodles. The dish is simple - noodles are nestled in a Sichuan chili + soy sauce. The noodles are chewy and the sauce combo is slightly spicy with sweet undertones. What I love most about QUA are the seasonal changes to the menu. Obviously they can just stick to what works for them, but the ever evolving menu keeps me coming back. It keeps things new, fresh, and exciting.

I got the flat noodles as well and this time it was a better consistency. The noodles were stuck together so I just had to pull them apart. I want to come back to try more of their soups and get it with the rice noodle. The servers were friendly.

This place SLAPS for the price! I've been finding myself getting a carls junior burger for lunch due to proximity to work and recently found this spot which is just as close.

Taste is reminiscent of a more expensive (though worth-it) version of Quiznos. Most sandos are around $16 though a good portion since many are 1500+ calories.

The James and the Giant Peach (not currently listed on the wall menu) is a vegan fried chikin favorite that is the go-to of my bf. Most of their sandos sound great, but it is hard to veer away from my usual! Will be back again.
