Wow! I went to Wow deli for one thing and one thing only. The Turkey Avocado sandwich everyone was raving about. I must say, those reviews are spot on! Tasty home style sandwich. Turkey is made of real carved meat, not the garbage you find at grocery stores or other sandwich shops. Fresh vegetables, creamy avocado, and just the right amount of mayo to bring everything together all tucked in a perfectly toasted pita bread. Service was friendly and fast. Must note though that I went way past lunch time so the shop was almost empty. Can't wait to try some other sandwiches, their menu looked quite extensive. Too bad my office isn't really that close (or maybe that's fortunate for my waist and wallet?) and they're only open M-F office hours. read more

I had read good things about Wow and decided to stop in. I was greeted with a smile a friendly good morning. The menu looks amazing! So many good things to try! I had a breakfast sandwich but I know I'll need to go back and try some of their specialty options. My sandwich was net good and fresh made. I highly recommend Wow Deli! Good food, good prices and excellent service! read more

Great mom & pop deli off of Shady Grove. Awesome sandwiches, I've tried the turkey & avocado on pita as well as the steak and cheese. Something about that pita bread! Everything is made to order and the owners are so friendly. grab a bag of dirty honey mustard chips with your sandwich :) those are my favorite. Wow deli is only open Monday - Friday till 4pm and closed on weekends! read more

Okay this just reinforces my insistence to all my friends that koreans know how to run a deli. The food is so fresh because of the ridiculous lunch rush, all the food gets turned over so fast. Every cheesesteak is amazing. The reuben is out of this world. The fries are fresh and come with seasoning. Seriously, if you work anywhere near this place you have to come for lunch at least once. I promise you will go again. And again. And again. OM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM read more

This place is great for lunch! I heard about them from my parents who read about them in the Post, and told me I should try it since I work nearby. SO glad I did - the food is always amazing, and despite it looking crowded we've never had a problem getting a seat. My favorite things on the menu are the California Dream (hummus on a pita!! so good!!!), the Turkey & Avocado, and oddly enough, the onion rings. I know that this is awesome for healthy food, and in theory I should be all yay, healthy food! since it's hard to find, but OMG, the onion rings are SO GOOD. They are like healthy people kyptonite, and I am powerless against them. In summary - They're fast, super nice, and have good tasting healthy food. I would recommend them to everyone, as long as they don't take my seat during lunch. ;D read more

This place has awesome fresh sandwiches/pitas. I love their turkey avocado on pita bread, it comes with fresh sliced turkey breast, avocado, swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and alfalfa sprouts. And the pita is also pretty huge (decently priced, around $7+) Philly cheesesteak was also pretty good. I've never had any complaints about this place, pretty busy during lunch time, employees are really nice, quick service. I went in a couple of weeks ago and ordered the gyro on the pita. Not a good choice, I'm not sure if they were having an off day because when I usually order the gyro its pretty good. Not this time, the edges were hard and I had a difficult time biting down on it. Overcooked I would say. But all in all the pita was still enjoyable. Don't recommend the gyro (unless my experience was a fluke) read more

Wow Deli is one of the best kept secrets in Montgomery County. I simply cannot belive there is not a line out of the door during the lunch rush. As a commuter, I only eat there during the week so I cannot testify for the weekend but there is always ample room to sit for small work groups to sit and enjoy an extremely diverse menu of great food. Try as I might do not think I have gotten anything other than their Turkey (real, not processed lunch meat) and Cheese sandwich on white bread with mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickle and onion, Mystic (one of very few places on Montgomery County I have seen Mystic) and an order of fries. It is THAT good and I have been there dozens of times. If something as simple as that is as incredible as it is, I can only imagine the rest of the menu. The customer service is outstanding, the same two women are always beind the counter and always smile acknowledging their return customers. Look to spend about $8-10 if you get a "combo" and you will be extremely satisfied, same as your appetite. The one negative is not a knock on the deli itself. The parking situation is pretty sparse and the traffic congestion in that shopping center is awful, just like the immidiate surrounding area of the intersection of Shady Grove and 355. If you are on a limited time frame for lunch be cautious as this area consistently takes much longer than alloted. read more

I have been to Wow Deli twice now, and have been pleased each time. By going at a time other than noon, I have avoided the lunchtime rush. The service is matter-of-fact, and not particularly friendly. It's not unfriendly, either, and it is efficient. I think the brusqueness may be cultural. The first time I went, I had one of Wow's famous Philly-style cheesesteak sandwiches and fries. Both were excellent! The cheesesteak was a generous portion of Wow's house-cooked, flavorful, tender rib eye, sliced perfectly, and served on a delicious roll with grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms and just the right amount of cheese. The fries were cooked to perfection and served very hot. Today, I tried Wow's Reuben sandwich and onion rings. The Reuben was very good. Corned beef, when cooked to my liking, is flavorful and very tender. It tends to fall apart rather than slicing neatly. Wow's corned beef was cooked perfectly. The other thing I love at Wow Deli is that they serve freshly brewed, unsweetened iced tea. Iced tea is a personal obsession of mine, and I am unwilling to accept anything other than freshly brewed. The only negative for me is that Wow serves food on Styrofoam plates. Styrofoam seems to be ubiquitous in the mid-Atlantic, but I hate it. Styrofoam is not sustainable (not biodegradable), and I believe it has an adverse effect on the wholesomeness of food that touches it. Even worse: my onion rings were very hot today (a good thing), but they melted part of the Styrofoam plate. I hate the idea that along with a delicious onion ring, I ate melted plastic. Call me quirky, but from now on, I am always going to dock a place a point if my food touches Styrofoam. read more

The Reuben $7 (4/5 NOMs). oh hot corn beef mama. Now this is a great greasy lunch sandwich. Perfect greasy combination for hungry person :) read more

I stopped by to pick up a quick lunch and opted for the gyro. The gyro is small in size and is not executed in the same style of a traditional gyro. I can't say it was really good or really bad; it was exactly down the line. There were some thin slices of tomato, a generous amount of shredded lettuce, and two thin slices of the meat with the yogurt cucumber sauce. The pita bread was crispy and it seemed like it was pressed flat like a panini. I'll reserve judgment until I try the other hot sandwiches here. The service was quick and friendly, and it wasn't too slammed during the Friday lunch hour. read more

3 1/4 stars. This place used to be a Philadelphia Mike's back a couple of years back. They were pretty busy during the work week. I was curious if they were able to keep up with the previous owner's cheesesteaks. I ordered a chicken cheesesteak combo. It was around $10. The servings were decent. They used a crusty deli bread. Their chicken was in chunks (instead of the chicken steak um's) as i was used to before. The chicken was done well. The sub came with all the fixin's. Fries came with old bay on top. Quality was good, Very clean establishment, and great service. Why only 3.25 stars? Everything is status quo, a typical deli, nothing more, nothing less. Would I go again? In a place full of unique, competitive, and less expensive cuisine, this would not be my go to places if I was to go out and eat. read more

Wow Deli - Chk cheesesteak combo - Burgers Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I've been going to Wow deli for years (since it was converted over from being a Philly Mikes cheesesteak shop if I remember correctly). They make some great sandwiches there! I think everything that I have had a Wow has been fantastic and the ownership is always looking to put interesting and creative sandwiches onto the menu. The only thing I will say to give some additional color is that I don't really consider this place a true "deli". I don't think I've ever been to a place like this that is run by a Korean family and thought of it as a deli, mainly because it never tends to be about the quality of the meat and bread. Don't get me wrong, they use some great ingredients at Wow, but it's not like the sandwich shops I have been to in MA, NY/NJ, and PA where you want to order a sandwich and 1/2 lb of sliced deli meat to go. So, long story short...great place to grab a tasty lunchtime meal...but it still leaves me searching for my good local deli! read more

Wow has simple but great food severed in a friendly atmosphere. This is what Mom & Pop restaurants across America used to be like before the 1980s when the chains convinced everyone they were superior because of advertising and drove all the small guys out of business. Wow has VALUE for your buck! It's not Brooklyn Deli, it's less than 1/2 the price, but it's not Burger King either. read more

Turkey avocado = delicious healthy. Fresh sliced avocado, thick roasted turkey and shredded lettuce. And a side of o-rings read more

Wow Deli - turkey sandwich.. a bit dry - Burgers Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Pretty damn good and affordable to boot. I only took a star off because their chicken quesadilla gave me food poisoning. All my coworkers kept raving about the place so I figured I'd give it another try. I definitely don't regret it. My favorite items are the turkey avocado and breakfast platters! read more

A solid 3 1/2 stars. Still on a search of a good sandwich shop in Gaithersburg, i've decided to get my tuna melt fix at Wow Deli. The deli sits in a small shopping center in a kind of awkward location (driveway to that shopping center is a zoo during the lunch hour) and appears to be operated by an Asian family. I got there right in the middle of the lunch rush, and they were very busy. The interior is rather small, and with not much decor to speak of. One really big positive about this place - its is very clean! I even looked on the top of a coffee brewing machine and all the counters. Spotless. Quite impressive for such an establishment. The sandwiches themselves seem to be average. My tuna melt was fried in too much butter, that had a bit of a after-taste. The tuna salad itself was ok, but nothing special. On par with any other standard sandwich shop. However, while i was waiting for my order, i've seen good-looking fresh veggies making their way onto other sandwiches. There is a counter behind the glass, where you can see orders being prepared. If i'm ever there again, that's what i'll order. My least favorite part aside form off-tasting butter fried tuna melt? The bread they use looks and tastes like the inexpensive pre-packaged supermarket stuff. Not awful, but meh. Verdict? My search for good tuna melt continues. Wow Deli is ok for cheap lunch if you happen to be in the area, and budged is an issue. Opt for a cold sandwich with lots of veggies. read more

No pork roll (Taylor ham). He didn't even know/understand what I was asking for. Maybe it's an MD thing I don't know. .50 for cheese on a breakfast sandwich? Seems a bit excessive. Sandwich was fine but it's kind of hard to screw up a breakfast sandwich. Meh read more

These folks are fast, friendly, efficient, clean. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. What more can I ask for? read more

This is hands down my favourite place to grab lunch during the week. Wow Deli prepares all of their foods fresh every morning. From chicken breast to turkey to all of their vegetables, it's as fresh as it comes. They have a wide selection of sandwiches to order, both hot and cold, along with breakfast items. Items of recommendation: Turkey Avocado, Tuna Salad (+swiss cheese), California Dreaming and their cheesesteaks. Check this place out if you want to grab a fast, delicious, and healthy lunch! read more

Okay this is my third time here. But the last two time it seems they are going down hill. Today was my third time, I got the philly steak and cheese and the sandwich is dry and no flavor with is not like them. The deli is clean and bright. The ppl are nice and fast. But today the sub is very dry and they didn't cook my peppers. I really hate my sub today. But I'm back in my office and can't go back. Check your food before you leave. read more

Wow Deli - Philly Steak and Cheese with frys - Burgers Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

These types of "delis" are scattered throughout Washington DC and usually priced a little on the high side. But this one was not in DC, and the prices were better. The quality of the sandwiches were excellent and extremely tasty. Minimum $5.00 credit card charge. read more

Husband and kids enjoyed their food, as did I! The ingredients are really fresh despite them getting ready to close. The sandwiches and wraps have a homemade taste to them. I would love to come back and try more of their menu items! :) read more

See all

WOW Deli is wonderful! Stop in early for one of their tasty breakfast sandwiches and a really good cup of coffee, or for lunch to get a surprisingly good Ruben. The menu is varied with delicious options available for everyone. The owners are friendly and obviously take great care and pride in what they do. The only downside is that they are not open on the weekends. read more

WOW!!! i adore this deli!! i have been going for awhile now and have NEVER been disappointed in my lunch choice!!! I've had the chicken and tuna salad, the grilled chicken caesar wrap, chef salad wrap, hot turkey w/ provolone and my go-to when i'm torn is the Wow Club!!! The fries are a little pricey but none the less seasoned well and darn tasty!!! Parking sucks, so be warned. read more

Ok.... if you have not tried this place, you are missing out. Everything they serve is 100% delicious. Not only is the food great but the service is out of this world. I always get the Italian cold cut my way . And the fries and steak and cheese is out of this world. Please visit this place and give them love. Always on point and love is what the food is made from. They bake their own bread and please try any turkey sandwich because it's not deli turkey it's off of a real turkey. Trust me you will not be disappointed. I'm a foodie and I love food that tastes as good as it is prepared. Laurence D Sr. read more

I've been frequenting Wow Deli for about three years and I'm still knocked out by the excellent quality of food. The sandwiches are made to order with fresh ingredients. Occasionally, they are heavy handed with the salt, but every thing else is wonderful. The Turkey Avocado is terrific, the California Dream a delight, and they make sandwiches to order -- Oh, lest I forget they serve breakfast! Good value for money as all the ingredients are fresh: they bake their own bread and roast their own turkey; nothing processed. The staff is über friendly and very efficient during a crowded lunch. If you get a chance to try the deli do not be deterred by the long line, you will be in and out quickly. Check it out -- you won't be disappointed. read more

Their sandwiches and onion rings are so good! Turkey avocado on sour dough makes an excellent lunch. The wraps are OK, definitely stick with the sandwiches, and the place gets crazy during lunch rush. Call ahead to place your order and pick up. read more

Clean. Consistent, nice staff. The guy who cooks has been here for years and food is great. Very professional.

What a surprise. This place is run by Koreans that can make a mighty fine sandwich. With plenty of sides to choose from and cold drinks, you can't go wrong with this casual lunch spot. read more

VERY FRIENDLY I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel . It was fast and sooo good . The egg was real egg not the box egg. A breakfast bagel and coffee was $7 . Will definitely be back read more

Perfect lunch spot! Sometimes they run out of ingredients but there's so many options that it's [almost] okay. Prices are moderate and sandwiches are a good size and filling. Staff is friendly and the place is clean. They also have tons of drink options in their coolers! read more

Order the Turkey avocado sandwich and make sure they don't forget the sprouts--I get so pissed when they do. Wow bakes their own pita bread, which carries this mild sweet aroma that gives it that unique amazing taste--It's also real carved turkey. This place is a legit lunch spot, but they close early. read more

Great deli! I ordered the Washington cheesesteak combo which comes with fries. It was really good. I added old bay to my fries and they were perfect. You get a nice portion for the price. I will definitely be back. Parking isn't the greatest especially during the peak lunch hour but it's manageable. read more

Came here for the first time after seeing my coworkers eat here like everyday. Came here for breakfast and got the two eggs any style platter. It was not only fulfilling but so good! read more

Great place for a quick lunch, lots of menu options, good sized portions. Everything I have ordered has been fantastic...burgers, quesadillas, chicken sandwiches. Plenty of fries. Can be a bit drafty and when the doors open, you know it, but the food makes it totally worth it. read more

Okay I was not actually "wowed" myself. I (sadly) didn't like their home cooked turkey, which tasted bitter to me. I think this is one instance where I would have preferred some cured chemicals. Also my wrap was off somehow. Not enough somethin' somethin' to get me excited. This was an experimental visit, it being somewhat close to campus (MC). The next time I think I will drive the opposite direction on the Pike and go to my standby of Chipotle. Yeah, I was that not in love with Wow Deli. read more

I have been going here for lunch for years. It is such a best kept secret. The ingredients are always fresh. The food is always on point and the prices don't get much better for what you get. I love it and recommend it to everyone looking for a good lunch spot. read more

3.5 stars. Wow deli is truly wow (yea, I said it). I am not in the area as much anymore, but I stopped in to meet a friend for lunch here a few times. The huge sandwiches I had were all great, the fries were crisp and fresh. The condiments and other toppings for the sandwiches were also very tasty. I nice addition to the area if you are in the mood for a quick lunch. read more
