I would love to eat at this place but they have the dumbest hours in the world. I have never once caught them open. Apparently they don't realize people work till 5 most days. They close at 3pm!? Tried to go on a Sunday and guess what?!.... Closed. Maybe, just maybe open your business so people can go read more

Great food and even better service - what a find! I almost never write reviews but felt compelled to rave about this tiny takeaway place. They also make their boba with honey and it's so delicious. read more

Love these guys and glad they are back... Had a great BBQ sandwich with the spicy mayo and peppers... Already planning my next sandwich order! read more

Z & J supports my Boba tea addiction! Try the lavender boba tea it is soooo good! Super friendly couple run this place and take pride in offering fresh ingredients. read more

I like the Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowl! Super delicious. Fresh. Nice service. Love me some Thai Boba Tea!

Is it really a banh mi? Who knows I've had lots of banh mi and every place has alittle touch. I was disappointed there was no radish with the pickled carrots , didn't even know I would miss them but they do make a difference (to me) in taste . The tofu option was nothing to rave about but I will come back and try their meat options as they smoke/make some in house and make their own sauces. The bread isn't made by them but it did taste day made fresh, not soft and crunch fresh made bread is , but it worked. The taro milk tea was from powder mix so I'm assuming most of the boba drink flavors are from that, it was ok. boba was super chewy , almost old tasting . I'd stick with the sandwiches. Owners were very nice and thanked me for ordering online first . Which is great option during Covid time . read more

Fantastic huge subs! They dont skimp on the meat and the sweet and spicy sauce that they put on it is delicious! My husband just brought some home and I did my best to finish one but they are so big. We love this place and will go back over and over again! read more

Had the pulled pork and it was phenomenal. We also got a smoothie sample at the cash which was a nice change to the drive through experience. read more

Z & J Asian Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Eureka, California

My friends and I decided to try Z&J Asian subs' boba tea. My friend is deathly allergic to dairy, and we asked if the boba teas contained dairy. We were assured that they did not, and clarified multiple times due to the severity of the allergy. We were assured the teas did not contain dairy. Moments after drinking a few sips, my friend's mouth began to burn, a sign that she was starting to have an allergic reaction. Luckily, she caught the signs early and did not continue to drink. Absolutely ridiculous that they do not have a proper grasp of the allergens in the food that they make! read more

Honestly the subs are really good, but the ppl running the place are the worst! Probably the longest I have ever waited for food I ordered online in advance. I ordered my subs(2 smalls) a half hr before needing to pick them up, and when I arrived had to wait in the same line of cars as everyone ordering for upon arrival?! Even though they have two windows on opposite sides of their building, perfect for one online order line and one order upon arrival line... Are you kidding me, what was the point of ordering in advance? I waited for over 30minutes in a line of cars 7 deep, and was late getting back to work. I won't be giving them my business ever again read more

I always enjoy stopping by Z & J's. The owners are kind and personable. The chicken salad and sandwiches are always so tasty and we love swinging by for a bobba tea when we drive by as well. The smoked meats are delicious. read more

This spot has the best drive-through barbecue. I always get their pulled pork sub love the spicy Asian sauce. And veggies (marinated carrots, slice of cucumbers and heaping of cilantro) The bread used is local and good. read more

There's no boba shops around Humboldt County, and I figured I would give this place a shot even though it's at a banh mi place since I was craving milk tea and boba badly but unfortunately it was very disappointing. The milk tea tasted artificial and the boba was very plain. Definitely not the quality of boba in Orange County. They charge too much for it too since you can get better quality for cheaper elsewhere in more populated areas. It's a drive-thru spot across the street from CVS and Target. The customer service was nice but the quality is not very good :( read more

This place is amazing. You want a good, authentic banh mi-type sandwich? This is the place to go! Fresh ingredients, good portions, and friendly service. Great prices, too! I thoroughly enjoyed my sub from this place the other day. Talked with the owner at the time, and he clued me in to what this place is about in terms of quality and freshness. It's just amazing what this place does, and I highly recommend it. If sandwiches are a little too much for you, why not try a smoothie? They've got a wide variety available, and it's all fresh and delicious. They'll customize it for you, if you want. read more

The Chinese chicken salad is delicious!! Add avocado! The large is huge! Easily split between two! My gf & I look forward to eureka so we can come here! Owners are very nice & service is quick! read more

Boba Tea!!!!! Need I say more?? Well I will any way... the prime rib sub is my husbands favorite, I go for the Chinese chicken salad (it's huge!!!) I love that you can choose your level of heat, medium is perfect for me. I absolutely recommend you try Z&J!! read more

So far this is the best boba I've tried in town. I usually won't get boba because the texture is usually off, however, the boba is so juicy and delicious here, I keep coming back. I've also had the chicken salad which I did enjoy . read more

Can't wait to try Z&J, again. I tried them when they first opened a few yrs back. Now that I live here I want to go get a Z& J sub. I love Báhn Mì. Met the owner, nice guy. He told me his wife does the cooking. I wish they were open longer hours. My nephew William, loves Z&J Asian Subs. I love the Boba & Báhn mì. This place makes me not miss San Jose, quite so much. A jewel in Eureka. Can't wait to try the beef báhn mì. read more

This place is a gem seriously good eats here. Boba and Asian subs? Can't go wrong. They pack a lot of flavor in those subs and the boba seems fresh and the smoothies are tasty. The boba tea is great too if you prefer teas. I really loved the number one ordered SPICEY and careful they mean spicey! I love spicey hot foods so this wasn't a big deal to me but my husband had a hard time. Also the rice bowls are tasty too and good for the kiddos. All in all good experience here and it keeps me coming back. We live in Brookings and don't come down often but anytime we do I'll be hankering to come back here because the food is that good. read more

Been going here a while. We LOVE their subs, chicken salad, smoothies, and boba. Just tried their ribs, they were so tender, juicy, and delicious! I couldn't stop eating them. Always friendly and quick service. We appreciate you, thank you! read more

Z & J Asian Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Eureka, California

I didn't like this place at first but now I absolutely love it. The boba is always good and the pearls are always perfect texture, not too soft and not too hard. The sandwiches are delicious and the rice bowls are good too. The prices are reasonable and the drive thru moves quickly. I would go here daily! Update- my order gets messed up sometimes they forget avocado which I know they definitely charge for, so I need to start checking it. Also last time I got boba- the pearls were a little too soft, haven't ordered it again. Sad read more

Passed this place the day before and thought "Oh we're coming back." Got up this morning and drove over from where we were camping, and I gotta say 100% worth the drive. It was a little pricey, but for such a good reason. We got 2 smoothies, mine peaches and cream and the other the litchi, both with boba and whipped cream. Got to take a sip before he handed us our food, and I knew just from that the food was going to be so good. We ordered 2 sandwiches, mine pork and the other chicken, with all the veggies, sauce, and such, both mild. SOOOOO GOOD. I absolutely devoured mine. We'll probably be back again tomorrow, but next time I'm getting it with avocado and probably the medium spice level. read more

We tried this place for the first time. We ordered 3 rice bowl dishes, the chicken, bbq beef and pork belly. The pork belly dish was very good but only a few pieces of pork in the dish. The other 2 dishes were very bland and portion size sucked! Panda Express would have been better! Very disappointed! read more

Incredibly inefficient. Suggest ordering online, to wait 25 minutes for pick up,to then arrive and wait in line for 25 additional minutes. Don't bother ordering online, flawed system. read more

Great place for sandwiches, but the smoothies are amazing!! Every-time I've gone here or heard someone talking about Z&J Asian Subs it's always how nice the staff is. But I'm telling you their smoothies are amazing!! read more

We LOVE Z and J! Delicious salads and sandwiches and the best boba around!! My somewhat picky 9 year old shared a sandwich with me a couple of weeks ago and he has not stopped talking about how much he loved it. Friendly service, and a super easy stop! Healthy fresh quick lunch! read more

Never open when I drive by waited at the order station for 10 minutes once not hearing a thing they had their open sign on and everything but didn't hear a thing! But this is the only place in Humboldt to get boba even then the boba is very mushy the tea is very over powering in something I don't know what but it's not very good read more

The pork belly bahn mi was delicious. I got medium spice level and will definitely be getting the spicy bahn mi next. The pork belly was juicy and tender. The pickled carrots were awesome and so was the roll it came on. read more

The best Bahn mi I've ever had! We first ate at this place during a road trip around 2017 and when we moved up here we were elated that it survived COVID! Which not only attests to the resilience of this business but to the quality of their food! Excellent service, food options, and delicious subs! read more

Thank you Yelpers for the reviews... Really loved my sub from Z&J Asian Subs the other day. In fact, I might just drive thru again after I wrap up on this review! I decided for my first order to go with tofu to be on the safe side before there was nothing safe about it. It was super delicious and the flavors were sooooo good! Totally enjoyed my large sub though it took me the whole day to finish it. Loved loved the carrots and cilantro. Everything tasted so fresh and clean. Now I have to try the pulled pork. At first the menu is a bit overwhelming so just relax and take your time... but basically the breakdown is size, meat, all veggies (or explain what you want in or out), level of sauce heat, mild to spicy... and you will be asked if you want avocado or cheese. Since to me this is like a Vietnamese banh mi, I opted out of the avocado and cheese but they are good options to have. I ended my order with a green tea boboa (fabulous). Yes I splurged and had zero regrets! read more

Up on the North Coast, you can get a few kinds of food and count on them being a fairly solid effort. American, American Seafood, Fexican (fake Mexican), and liquor (yes, I just said liquor was a type of food). So when I see an Asian sub place I thought, YUM! I wonder if it is Vietnamese style? And then I woke myself up and remembered that I was on the North Coast. I decided to take the leap against my better judgement. First off, the price was a bit daunting. Like $8 bucks for a bbq pork number. However, when I got the sandwich, it was FULL of meaty yumminess! I mean, the sandwich was large compared to what I am accustomed to getting at my Sacramento Vietnamese sub place. Basically, it was like a foot long filled with plenty of meat, cilantro, the pickled veggies that are standard in this type of sandwich, and some jalapenos. I think they may have had a handful of bubble drinks, but no salted lemon soda. :-( And, it's drive through only. The perfect meal to pick up on the way to take your dog to the beach! Z & J Asian Subs, you'll be seeing me again! read more

OK, so not banh mi, but a nice fusion sub. Everything super-fresh, bread is great, good amount of meat & veggies. We got the pulled pork - nice smokey flavor. Friendly service. Will definitely be back to try more! So glad to have stumbled upon this place! read more

Hands down one of my favorites. Not only bomb food but also great owner. If you looking to support local then this is the place!

Great ingredients, awful portions. I ordered the prime rib sub and was woefully disappointed. My sandwich had a mountain of vinegar soaked carrots and a teeny sliver of beef. And the sandwich squirted its spicy sauce out with every bite. I like the flavors of the ingredients, just not the volume. This is a ten dollar sandwich you are ordering, it should have more meat, less fluff! read more

Been going here for years. Hadn't been in awhile and sounded good. Got the pulled pork sub. Absolutely amazing!

I dig this place! The first time I went here, I really wanted a banh mi, and the sandwich is nothing like a banh mi, but it's still super yummy with lots of fresh veggies, so it won me over. The sauce is a bit overly ketchup-y for my liking, but that might be because it's supposed to go with beef brisket or pulled pork and I always order tofu. I love that they have vegetarian options, the boba is awesome, and the guy who usually works there is a super kind, friendly dude. I do think they should consider switching from plastic to paper cups and bags though. It'd be an easy switch and better for the environment. But I do find myself often craving their sandwiches and boba! I love getting lunch here on the go. read more

Ordered the Prime Rib sub and a Strawberry smoothie today, The sub was horrid, the smoothie perfect. Sound confusing? Good. because it confused me too. I got an excellent sub roll that was then DROWNED in mild sauce, virtually no meat (And seeing as I didn't order any of the carrots and cucumbers, virtually no anything) So, a nearly empty sandwich full of so much sauce I literally gagged on it. I have not gagged on food in years. this sub was so bad that I gagged. What makes it odd, is I'm pretty sure all the ingredients were good. just horrible portions of them. Then we move on to the smoothie. best smoothie around! Nothing like the bland, small and overpriced offerings from Humboldt Juice Works, these guys care about flavor. not ego. SO. torn. hated my sandwich so, so much. but loved the smoothie and will be back for more smoothies. read more

My favorite part of this place is the owner. He is so extremely friendly and sincerely loves his sub place. He has greeted me around town, and he once gave me free HiChew candy when I got a sub once so I could try it. That is a fantastic way to run a business and encourage customer loyalty (he has mine). Aside from the great people, I absolutely love the Vietnamese subs here. They have their own twist, different from typical banh mi. The spicy and mild sauce are both delicious. The cilantro on top is the perfect addition. I am partial to the chicken and pulled pork subs. They have a ton of awesome boba tea flavors, too. I love it. A+, 100% recommend. read more

Probably the best sub I've ever had and I wish I could go there every day. Every time I go there the workers are very nice and always have a smile. read more

Looking for a Bahn Mi and found out this was a little different. Pleasantly surprised! My new favorite spot when visiting Humboldt!
