Had their turkey pesto sandwich, I give it 5 stars! On top of the food being amazing the customer service was even better! So glad I stumbled upon this place will definitely be back again. read more

Everything we ate for brunch was fresh and hot. I definitely want to return to try the other offerings. They even have a beertap if you want a good ol adult beverage. They're open Saturdays from 8am to 2pm and also offer catering. read more

Tried the popular Korean sandwich. Amazing flavors. The roll was also nice and crunchy. Great lunch spot. Would come back again.

Wow, is it possible to fall in love with a sandwich? I thought I was ordering a simple BLT but it was more than just simple. It was amazing! Premium ingredients and full of flavor. I'll definitely come back to try other items on their menu. They also have gluten free bread. read more

If your coming to Kaiser or Hoag off Sand Canyon and Alton and want a craft breakfast or gourmet lunch come here. We had the breakfast quesadilla and breakfast sandwich. Amazing to say the least. They offer a comfortable relaxing indoor and outdoor experience. Great place for a lunch or breakfast meeting. Their food is not cheep BUT no regrets. Very unique yet simple and delicious. Try them you won't be disappointed! read more

Quite busy at lunchtime with all the Blizzard (Diablo, WoW, Starcraft, etc.) employees from across the street. Very happening place, for good reason. It gets busy but there is plenty of seating outside and the food comes out relatively quickly for fresh food. I was there during lunchtime and it probably took 10-15 minutes. Parking is plentiful. So many items to try. The Korean BBQ beef is supposedly the most popular and it was quite delicious. Warning, it gets slightly messy. Korean bulgogi on bun covered with slightly sweet coleslaw. The fresh home made chips are good but I prefer the french fries. Heard the tater tots are good too but didn't get to try them. The BLT was also pretty good. Heard all the items are pretty good. Will have to come back and try some more. The owner Bruce is super friendly. Was helping out in the kitchen when we first got there but out talking to regulars most of the time. read more

This place is it obviously a very local spot seemingly catering to local businesses in the software manufacturing sector that surround it. Lunch time is off the hook... always busy, always full of people on their lunch breaks from the neighboring businesses. That being said, they have figured out the exact right formula for the space... high-end quality ingredients, an evolving daily specials menu that keeps people coming back and owners that truly care about the experience and the quality of food they offer. It's definitely worth a try as I've had two or three of the best sandwiches I've ever put in my mouth at this place. read more

I was disappointed given all the great reviews especially for the price. I ordered the turkey pesto sandwich with an upgraded side salad which together cost over $20. The sandwich was mostly mayo, barely any pesto and a thin slice of turkey. The "upgraded" side salad was smashed into the same to go container as the sandwich (not worth the extra $6) and came with salad dressing that tasted like it was from a grocery store. Would expect housemade dressing for the price. I won't be back. read more

The Korean Beef BBQ Sandwich deserves 5 stars on it's own. I knew that it was a popular choice, but I surprised at how much I enjoyed this sandwich. The bread was the perfect thickness and crispiness. The beef was very soft and flavorful. The coleslaw was creamy and added a nice crunchy texture to the sandwich. All the ingredients went so well together. The chips that come with the sandwich are thin and crispy. A great addition to the meal. They have a ketchup, sriracha, pickle, and jalepeno bar to the right of the register/kitchen. I added some jalepenos to my sandwhich which made it even better than before. I just wish they offered half sandwiches! A whole sandwich is a bit too much for me. Parking can be a bit of a hassel. I came for a late lunch around 2pm and there were a good amount of 30 minute spots open, but if you're looking for a longer parking situation, the rest of the lot is pretty full. read more

S'wich Bistro - Korean beef barbecue sandwich. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Irvine, California

Pretty good for basic. Been to S'wich a handful of times. Nothin to write home about but you will be full.

Get the Korean bbq sandwhich, it's really good. The slaw on it is super flavorful as well, it's a good size meal. Side greens salad very healthy thing to pair with it. read more

Been here for lunch once and breakfast three times. It's my new favorite craft Sami place. The breakfast burrito is the sure hit item for breakfast. I also tried the traditional two eggs over easy over toast with strawberry jam and the potatoes and bacon. Good lord. That's not bacon. It's candy! Yum!! Also asked for half and half so I could try the sausage. I'd go all bacon next time. They have this other breakfast dish that's kinda like nachos with chicken and cheese and eggs mixed up. That's good too, but definitely the breakfast burrito is the best. Brad and his partner have a special place. I'm glad they are nearby and look forward to supporting them to ensure others can enjoy what's special about a unique eatery like s'wich. Mmm mmm good. My next menu items will be the melts starting with the oink oink. Give them a try. You'll be glad you did. read more

First time at S'wich Bistro. I ordered their turkey melt sandwich with chips, which was $15, I thought it's pretty pricey - until I had my first bite. Tasted AMAZING and I immediately understood why the store is named "bistro" not "shop". I'm not even going to try and explain you how wonderful this sandwich tasted like, you owe yourself to try it yourself. Also staff there is very friendly. My husband and I brought our dog with us and everyone there was super nice to her (thank you!). Bruce the owner came out and hung out with us too, which was fun! We'll definitely come back for another visit soon, thanks for the awesome meal experience everyone at the "bistro"! read more

Yelp Challenge 100/ 2017 # 68 I visited this location after reading reviews and being in the area. Finding it was a bit interesting because its hidden within industrial/commercial buildings. Came in 11:30am before the lunch rush and parking was a bit tight. The music ambiance was really inviting with sinatra playing in the back ground and organic ambiance with fresh herbs located throughout the sandwich shop. I ordered the Bistro Chicken Club with their house made chips (you can upgrade to include tater tots or french fries). I opted for the house chips to try it. The sandwich was really good. The bread was a tad bit greasy, but the avocado, and special bacon glaze was what made this sandwich standout for me. I didnt eat it like a burger, instead I deconstructed it to taste all the ingredients and combine it to have a better idea of the meal and then made my assessment. Over all, sandwich was a solid 7. The house chips were made of fresh potatoe chips , a bit dry and super thick not salty and overall I liked them. Meal solid 7. The service was super friendly, professional, and what Stood out for me was the fact that the servers brought your food to your table and followed up with how the meal was and said goodbye when you left. You felt welcomed and I appreciate that. There was something different with the vibe of this sandwhich shop with was hip, positive, and inviting. I will definately come back and try other items. Including their upgrade to tater tots! Outside has a cute patio area where there are chairs and a generally relaxed feel. The menus are written on paperbags ( oversized) or so it seems, labled breakfast, Swich favorites, swich bistro, burgers, soups/salads, extras and beverages. A condiment bar includes goodies like siracha sauce, tobasco, fermented goodies, and items one may want to add to their entrees. Surrounding the windows are small plants and cactus that also give it an organic vibe which is refreshing. Overall for food and service I would rate this location a 8/10. If you havent visited this place and want to try their food , I say , Go for it!! read more

Tuna melt was great! Chips could use some more seasoning but other than that this place was a good find.

Food is fantastic, especially the turkey pesto sandwich. Service is very slow, usually about 30 minutes to get a sandwich, so be sure to order well ahead of time if you are getting food on your lunch break. read more

Every time I'm nearby I HAVE to come in, this place is just so damn good! Amazing food and superior service! Rumi and Bruce, The two owners, introduce themselves to me on my first visit. Now they greet me by name every time I come in. Paula is super friendly as well. My father was in town for 10 days, and I took him to lots of restaurants. He agreed that S'wich what is the very best that we tried, and indeed one of the best he's had in years. I've tried the following: pulled pork, roast beef, pastrami, chicken club, hamburger, pickles, chips, fries, onion rings (OMG!!!), and tater tots. All of them take food that would be unremarkable at any other restaurant and turn it into a gourmet feast. Try everything, you won't be disappointed!! read more

S'wich Bistro is a hidden gem! I wish they open another location were they are more visible! I found it and I'm glad a did! Their food was really good and the place is constantly busy (for obvious reasons) I wish they have more place to sit. Looking forward to go again and try new things in their menu. They welcome you with a smile and I appreciate that a lot! If you work around the area and feel hungry this is the place to go read more

The staff was great. They remain super friendly with smiley faces despite being busy. The food was awesome too! Tasty!! The outdoor seating was great, especially on weekend when everyone else is packed! read more

Swich it up, try a cozy bistro with custom creations from actual chefs! If you're looking for lunch near Hoag/Blizzard, this shop's got it all: perfect vibes for good lunch chats, sandwiches that look nothing at all like the chains and little quirks that make this place a must see for sandwich lovers, Blizzard fans or anyone looking for a small shop feel with the vibe of a college cafe. Chefs: The two owners, Bruce and Rumi, came from a seafood restaurant in LA before taking over this shop and making crazy combos that include LOTS of bacon, KBBQ and other fresh ingredients that come from a local supplier. Both were running around during the lunch rush but still had time to chat with some familar faces - really shows they care about the customers and aren't in this to make lots of moolah. Blizzard: WoW, Hearthstone, anything dealing with Blizzard and you'll probably find it here - pretty cool to see a cafe decorated with Blizzard stuff! Food: Think the custom sandwiches of Mendecinno farms but with the creativeness of Lee's ingredients plus the value of a Chipotle. They use bulgogi in their KBBQ sandwich, much like Lee's used BBQ pork, but they make their sandwiches look good presentation wise (Marble bread much in the yelp pics?) while packing enough in them to keep you stuffed but not sleepy after. Veggie burger: These come from Stevenson Farms, a veggie patty company founded by people who were tired of crappy veggie patties (*cough* Subway) - came out tasting like those Korean potato pancakes with the burger crumbling easily. Quinoa is mixed in well and with the protein style + extra lettuce/tomatoes option, healthy eaters get warm meat with a fresh salad for less than $10! Quesadilla: Great size for $9. Green onions make a good touch. Worth for the novelty of not getting a burger like everybody else. Pickles: They have em here, self serve for you pickle lovers! Pokemon: By the quickly pokemon stop, can spin & drop a lure from inside the bistro next time you're tired of your sandwich place, swich it up and try Swich Bistro! read more

Awesome sandwiches, good tots and the burgers hit the spot. Watch the crowd at noon, come a little early or late.

I came in around 2:40 and it wasn't busy. I got to order quickly (I already knew what I wanted since this place has been on my list). I grabbed a seat and since I came in after regular lunch hours, seating was ample. My food came out quickly and hot. I got the grilled cheese and tomato bisque. It came with a cup of soup and amazing grilled cheese. They cook it just right so it's not burned and look for that cheese pull tho! It also came with chips. Be sure to grab some house made pickles! The owners walk around to make sure you're taken care of. Even though I can't afford to eat here everyday but this place is now my new favorite spot! Sorry Corner Cafe, you're no longer the convenient spot. S'wich Bistro is definitely better!!! read more

3.5 stars It's surprisingly hard to find a breakfast place in Irvine that opens early, taste good and is not overflowing with people. We found S'wich bistro and decided to give it a try on President's Day. First impression is that the owners are super nerds...World of War Craft fully represented in all its glory. So far so good! Recommended: Pastrami Swiss $9.95 - pretty tasty sandwich with just the right amount of Sauerkraut. The only minor miss here is that the pastrami was a smidge dry. The homemade potato chips were fantastic. S'wich Breakfast $6.95 - the house glazed bacon was so flavorful. I've had a similar version of this elsewhere, but you can't go wrong when a restaurant can make bacon taste even better! The scrambled eggs were seasoned well but a bit over cooked. No salmonella risk here but I like my eggs a little less hard. Cons: - A little on the greasy side so don't come here if you're on a health kick. - Food took longer than expected, I think a regular ordered after us but got his food first. Not a huge deal but I was hungry. - Self service model. If you want to be waited on, with full service staff, this is not the place. It's a no fuss, help yourself kind of establishment. The man taking the orders (probably the owner) was friendly and very energetic. The chef and kitchen team seem like good, hardworking folks. Check it out, it's not bad. read more

I searched for sandwich place in Irvine and found here. Good reviews so decide to try it. Ordered bulgogi sandwich and pastrami sandwich to go.French fries were good . Everything was slightly salty for my taste but probably okay for most people. I am not a big fan of meat but my family liked them. I would definitely try their other sandwiches. Four star is based on customer service and organization. read more

UNLIMITED PICKLES HERE. Well, there's a limited amount in the bucket, but I'm sure they'd give you more if you asked nicely. When I came here, there were two friendly girls helping everyone. It's not very crowded and the restaurant had a pretty casual vibe. The food does take a little longer to get, just because it's cooked fresh to order, but it's worth the wait! The sandwiches were delicious. Thus far, I've tried the Korean bbq beef and bistro chicken club, subbing the chips for tots! The sandwiches were filling, though I thought the chicken club was a little small for the price. Overall, I'm happy with this place. It's a relaxing spot with good food and friendly servers. read more

Delish. Got the turkey pesto and added the house special bacon. It's an up charge but soooooo worth it. Glad to have a quality sandwich spot in Irvine! read more

Holy BAM! BAM Star 1 - could you feel like more at home than here?! Chef Bruce & Chef Rumi makes you feel like part of their family. Soooo gracious. Sooo friendly. "Where Everybody Knows Your Name". BAM Star 2 - they carry BLK Brewing Co. coffee here! To go glass bottles or fresh brewed from their coffee keg. Holy caffeine punch you in the face high as a kite levels. I'm still trying to come down. BAM Star 3 - Price point is beyond reasonable. This is fine dining restaurant quality stuff served up with prices that are just too kind for what you receive. BAM Star 4 - OMFG food. Seriously. Had the popular Korean BBQ sandwich. I think I literally died and went to flavor heaven. The soft, lush bread you first bite into, then the the flavor hits you right on the kisser. Drooolworthy. Oh, and you have NEVER had the bacon they serve up. Gawd, I have never tasted anything like it. They also have homemade pickles and jalapeños that just are beyond. BAM Star 5 - this is just cuz all the other BAM's in your face that they deserve nothing less! read more

I've always wanted to come to this place. Unfortunately, they're not open in the weekend. Food = 4 stars. Switch breakfast bistro with bacon and tator tots substitute and classic French toast. They're delicious. The bacon is the best. It's a must try. Service = 4 stars. The lady in the counter was very friendly. I talked to one of the owner, she very nice, explained how they make their food. Even gave me an extra bacon since I love it so much. Ambiance = 3 stars. Parking can get busy during lunch time. The place can get noisy. Price = 3 stars. Portion for the price was a little small. read more

Came here to try a new place during lunch and I wasn't disappointed! This place is located across the street from Blizzard in the Irvine Oaks business center, so it can get really crowded during lunch time. The restaurant is pretty small with maybe ten tables, more or less, but there is a lot of seating outside too. The owners are really nice and they greet you enthusiastically, not because they have to, but it actually seems like they're grateful you're there. They have a lot of lunch items on their menu (sandwiches, burgers, salad, etc) and a breakfast menu that they serve between the hours of 8 and 11am The first time I had their food was because a co-worker picked it up and I had the Bistro Club Salad (yeah I don't know what I was thinking either). But they did give a good amount of ham, cheese, and bacon. Aside from the regular salad the bacon was the highlight! Probably one of the better bacon I've had. It a maple flavor and it was amazing. I went a second time and got the pastrami swiss sandwich with chips included. I didn't know what to expect but the pastrami was also really good! It was served with house sauerkraut, so not your typical sauerkraut you would expect, but it was still very good. The chips were also fresh and it wasn't salty or anything, so it was a nice compliment to the sandwich. I just wish there was a little more cheese but everything was so good that it didn't bother me at all. It is also worth mentioning that they have pickles in the condiment section. I was more surprised that after I went back to work, I didn't feel sluggish or sleepy from the sandwich, so a big plus for me! Definitely coming back. read more

Hands down the best bacon and scrambled eggs I've ever had. I've never had bacon stand out to me so much until I ate at this place. They do like a maple glaze on the bacon that makes it so savory and it's perfectly crispy. The chilaquiles was okay. It tasted good, but the texture was a little soggy. That might have been because I ordered take out instead of dining in. Overall, I'd recommend the Breakfast Plate. Everything was well seasoned. read more

Best breakfast burrito in Irvine hands down! Sub tater tots instead of potatoes! You will thank me when you try it!

Just had the BEST lunch ever at S'wich Bistro! The 48 hour pulled pork was so juicy and delicious and paired perfectly with the crunchy housemade chips and fresh coleslaw. The carne asada tacos were amazing with the the spicy red sauce and the chili cheese fries were on point! We loved the flavors of both the chicken tortilla soup and matzo ball soup. Anything and everything we've ever ordered here far exceeds our expectations in taste and quality! And the service here is always top notch! Definitely coming back to S'wich! read more

What a beautiful day for a sandwich, stopped in for my first time. They greeted me as I walked in, and had a friendly attitude. I ordered the Bistro chicken club sandwich and substituted the chips for tater tots. The sandwich tasted amazing with so much fresh veggies, it really added to the flavor of the chicken. The tater tots were cooked perfectly, had a good crunch to them, added a little ketchup for a little flavor. The receipt said the cashier was Angie. Thank you for the food. read more
