Ahhhhh I finally got to try a viral/trendy place to eat in LA. This sandwich was so so worth it!…read moreThe price is seemingly alot but you get 2 regular sized sandos in one. I got the #1 bestseller and it did NOT disappoint. I can see why someone wouldn't like it because it is rather plain but I prefer plain sandwiches myself. I like the ingredients to speak for themselves and not be coated in extra sugar or salt. I'm also a big fan of pistachio, the amount they put on is not for the faint of heart... hehe This place is clean, the line is efficient and friendly. I recommend stopping by. I came here as recommendation from Joshua Weissman's YT video of trying LA foods.

All'Antico Vinaio, a renowned Florence-based sandwich shop established in 1991, is celebrated for…read moreits generous schiacciata bread sandwiches, featuring imported Italian meats, cheeses, and spreads. This location on Wilshire Blvd in Koreatown is the smallest of the three I've visited, with under 10 seats available. It's a compact shop, and most customers opt for takeout. It's a narrow shop, and most customers take their orders to-go. I've previously enjoyed the La Paradiso and La Toscana, with the La Paradiso being my personal favorite. For our first visit with our son, we asked the staff for recommendations, and they suggested either the Venice Beach (Turkey) or the New Yorker (Roast Beef). The staff was incredibly generous, offering a roast beef sample, which our son loved! We also appreciated them providing ice and straws for our water. We ordered the New Yorker ($19.00) with roast beef, porcini cream, tomato, and arugula. The sandwich was thoughtfully cut in half, perfect for sharing. The schiacciata bread boasts a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior, which beautifully complements the meats and cheeses. We opted to substitute the porcini cream for mozzarella, which was sliced into perfect bite-sized pieces and tasted incredibly fresh. The roast beef was thinly sliced and tender, the tomatoes were fresh and sliced to perfection, and the arugula added a delightful peppery crunch. It's a well-balanced sandwich and one of the best in LA. We would definitely order it again. A big thank you to the female staff member who expertly cut the meat and offered samples, assisting us in making the perfect choice for my son's sandwich. This experience was truly a positive one for our family. I would definitely return to AAV for the excellent food and service. Given the small size of the shop, takeout is recommended, especially during peak hours. The sandwiches at AAV are so good! Fuggedaboutit!

Very modern and welcoming. So was the lovely lady behind the counter. The menu is sleek just Chien and fish sandos prepared a handful of ways. They have chicken strips and fries and an additional caviar topping. I wasn't trying that today but to each his own Surprisingly they have special beverages, today I tried the blood orange lemonade, it was a must with the spicy level of the chicken sandwich. Gang! This place is a MUST TRY!!!

This was somewhat of a big mess. Let me say upfront that everyone I dealt with was friendly, and…read morethe chicken sandwich was probably the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Even so, I probably won't go back. We showed up and the place was pretty much empty, with just a couple of tables occupied. We ordered, sat down, and waited. And waited. I couldn't help but notice that all of the tables that were there before us had been served, while bags of food kept going out the door for takeout orders. I understand that this isn't fast food, but seriously, I have an issue with waiting 35 minutes for a fried chicken sandwich, especially when the restaurant isn't busy. Adding insult to injury, when our food finally arrived, the server said, "Thank you so much for being patient!" That made me wonder if this kind of wait is normal. Instead of acknowledging that something had gone wrong, it felt like the long wait was simply being brushed off. The frustrating part is that the sandwich and fries were excellent. The chicken sandwich really may have been the best I've ever had, which makes the whole experience even more disappointing. Great food, friendly people, but a 35-minute wait for a chicken sandwich in an almost empty restaurant is enough to keep me from going back.

This tiny, tiny spot serves up some big sandwiches with big flavors. We visited the location on…read moreMelrose. Good luck with parking which is insane in this area. Order online and have some jump out of the car to pick up your order. There is no seating inside but maybe a chair or two outside. The neighborhood is a little rough around the edges so you may want to get that food to go. We tried three sandwiches and they were all huge. The crispy chicken caesar wrap is phenomenal and I am not one who usually orders this particular sandwich anywhere. It comes with a creamy sauce that I might have drank directly from the little cup. The wrap is packed full of chicken and it is refreshing and excellent. It doesn't look huge but trust me, the wrap is packed full and you will be plenty satisfied. The Antonia sandwich comes with turkey, cheese, avocado, tomato, and garlic aioli. It isn't all that unique a creation but for what it is, it is very fresh and very good. It came loaded with delicious turkey. The Martha sandwich (chicken salad, apples, fennel, argula, herbs, etc.) is on special right now. Personally, I am not a big chicken salad guy but you get a lot of it and the person in our party who ordered it liked it a lot. We also tried the arancini and they were excellent. You get three arancini balls and fantastic vodka sauce on the side. This is a winner. To be honest, practically the entire menu sounds great to me. They have quite a few locations and I feel like I will be trying them again soon.

I recently ordered the caramelized pork from Be U, hoping to indulge in some comforting Vietnamese…read moreflavors. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. For around $18, the meal came with two eggs and what I can only describe as rubbery pork. While the eggs were decent, the meat was a huge letdown. It had an off-putting texture that made me question whether it was an older or inferior cut. The taste was overwhelmingly salty--more like salted pork than the sweet, rich flavor I was expecting from caramelized pork. To top it off, I spent over $40 something dollars for my meal and for Postmates delivery to the South Bay, which makes this disappointment even harder to swallow. I'm not sure I'd order from Be U again unless someone else is footing the bill. I really wanted to enjoy this meal, but sadly, it fell short of my expectations. If you're craving Vietnamese food, you might want to explore other options.

Not the most authentic, just okay-good Viet food that you have to be alright waiting a bit for. Summer rolls - these are huge, which makes sense for the price. The peanut sauce is also really good - love that there's a little spice. I'd order this again. Mango, cucumber & mint salad - I guess you can't say they didn't warn you. There's not much else in this salad. Just make this yourself. Vietnamese coffee - strong, more coffee flavor than condensed milk. Sparkling limeade - this was quite good. I would definitely recommend this; very refreshing

Mikael was so lovely & made sure we enjoyed after grabbing a turkey and the di Parma. My only request was that we try something with the artichoke spread and boy did it hit the spot. Plan to get messy because these are melt-watering and filled with TOP spreads. The bread was light and airy and Aryeh even claimed it as the BEST sandwich in LA. Will be back to try more for sure!

The bread is continually baked throughout service so you are guaranteed fresh bread for your sandwich. It's apparently the chef's nonnna' recipe, too. The bread MADE the sandwich. The fillings were fine. I felt the tuna sandwich was carelessly made and the ingredients were just slapped on instead of being evenly spread so you get a little bit of everything with each bite. Some bites were all Calabrian chile and no tuna and some bites were all tuna and no chile. My companion loved the Rimini more. This might be a one and done for me. If I'm paying $20 for a sandwich, it's gotta wow me like the Lorenzo at Lorenzo.

It was getting late, so while I waited for the kid in the car at their activity, I went on The Heights website found an order form and placed an order for some sammies all in 5 minutes. I didn't even ask the hubs or the vegetarian kid what they wanted. I went with what I thought they'd like. 15-minutes later, I was picking the sandwiches up at the walk-in only shop. There was no line and better yet, they were wrapped up and ready to go when I walked in. The smiling lady asked if I wanted napkins or utensils. They have case after case of cold drinks so we picked out a couple of drinks, paid for those and left. It was easy and fast. Enjoyed the yumminess at home. I normally would save a half for another meal but my "Pasadena" hit the spot that I finished it up all at once. Quality bread, meats, cheese, fillings aka all the ingredients...to boot! PS the kid loved theirs and so did the hub. Thanks for making dinner: easy and delicious! There are no pictures because it was too delicious to take the time out and take any. Just order.

While I didn't get any, they have a cool selection of wines and beers. They have very helpful descriptions too.

Everything at this place is great. The food, atmosphere and service were top notch…read more I believe our waiters name was Nicholas, he was awesome. He coursed out our orders perfectly, gave great recommendations of places to stop while in the city and was a very easy going guy. Bread & Butter - 8.6 Not the best bread starter I have ever had but worth getting. Especially, if you order additional entrees that you can dip it in. The bread was hot and fresh, which are two of the most important things. Tuna Crudo - 9.1 The variation when we went contained lemon confit, thin sliced serrano peppers and basil. The lemon was outstanding and tasted like lemonade candy which paired well with the serrano and basil. Market Lettuces - 8.5 The cheese on the salad, ubriaco rosso, was delicious and it was our first time trying it. The greens were really fresh and lemon vinaigrette wasn't overpowering. Henrietta Potatoes - 8.9 I mean fried potatoes can only be so good. With that said this is about as good fried potatoes can be. They were soft, yet very crispy. The parm on top adds the perfect salt to balance it all out. The 8.9 is a reflection of how it compares to all foods or what we ate during the meal. If if was a rating of fried potatoes, it would be higher. Pork Collar - 9.4 It was great! It was almost as if you were eating a bite of steak. The temperature in which they decide for final preparation was perfect. The flavor was great and contained a hint of smoke. Ricotta Dumplings - 9.6 I would have to put this in my top 10 or 20 best dishes I have ever had. The dumplings were cooked perfectly. The star of the show is the broth. Hard to imagine the amount of mushrooms needed to get the depth of flavor and bold taste of this broth. The dish was comforting, delicious and something I could have eaten more of even after getting full. This is also something you'll want to save a little bread for. Baked Alaska - 8.2 They put their own spin on it. Instead of using ice cream, they use made in house tangerine sherbet. The bottom had a crumbled cookie base. When you have a bit that contains the toasted meringue, the crumbled cookie and just a little of the sherbet it tastes like lucky charms. Overall, awesome experience. Service/waiter gets a 10/10. Make a reservation and go!
