Came here on July 8, 2017 at around 12:00 with my friend after my event at Mitsubishi Owner's Day at Cypress. I decided to try out this new place after looking at the Orange County Hotlist of Cheap Eats Best of 2017, and Bronx Sandwich is ranked number one. The shop was busy and it was a hot, humid day. I wanted to sit inside. We got good timing as one of the tables was done being used. My friend got the East Coast Pastrami and I got the The New York with 2 fountain drinks for a grand total of $30. The sandwich is one of the best I had. The portion of meat they give on the sandwich is great. Also the veggies were fresh and generous. My friend liked his sandwich, he said it was very crunchy and crispy. Because I decided not to finish my food I got a to go bag to put the other half in. Even when I brought it back home (to San Diego, I ate it at 19:00 on a hot, humid day) the cold sandwich still taste almost like I had it there. I do not know how a New York deli sandwich exact taste like since I have not been there except when I was very young, but I can say that it is excellent for them to bring that kind of style of food here in SoCal. The drinking fountain had many selections. It was interesting that you can mix drinks. For example you can pick up to 3 flavors for the Mountain Dew energy. I picked lime, lemon, and strawberry. There was also vanilla and raspberry, which I did not try yet. You can do the same for some other selected drinks too. I did not order fries this, but it looks great on picture. The service here was great. The workers were patient to me ordering and attentive. The menu is organized very well, hot sandwiches on one side, cold on another and the french fries/other food on another one. However, I thought their interior was bigger because of the building on the right side of it appears to be connected to it. But, parking was easy to find, which is great for me who came from an hour of driving. Seriously, after eating here I had this thought to myself. Where have I been whenever I come up to Orange County from San Diego? I have driven plenty of times up to Orange County and to Los Angeles and I can not believe I never tried this place. The sandwich at Bronx beats Subways by miles, and is great when compared to Jersey Mike's. My friend says it is even better than our local sandwich shop. I was watching the promotional video of how they make the sandwiches. I can see the great quality control, the best ingredients, and great people who work for them. It is a hidden gem within Orange County that I never found out until today. Will definitely come back next time and order their fries as well and bring my other friends who missed out. This deserves a 5 star from me. It is also number one on my list for the most tasty sandwich I had this year and one of the best in...
Read moreI had been to the Bronx several times in the past and had great experiences. The most recent visit, however, was after a very long hiatus and had an unfortunate experience. I arrived and ordered my food with my preschooler. As I finished ordering and was paying, there was an employee walking behind the counter with a tray of food in-hand, and he ate some of the chips off the tray. It was very odd and a food-service no-no, and I looked around thinking "Um, who's food is that? Is this guy on his break? Why is he eating behind the counter?". I told myself it was his and he was just starving on his way to go eat on his break. After a while my food came. There is a TV in the lobby playing Buffy the Vampire Slayer on TNT. My daughter happened to look at the TV and immediately came up to me in tears clutching my jacket and pointing to the show. I looked up and there is a gory and violent scene on TV. It was so upsetting to her and to me that this is even going on in a family restaurant. I asked someone to please turn it off. The person did not apologize or even verbally reply but at least they did turn the TV off. She was rattled and kept telling me "Never bring me here again, let's not come back here". Well, no problem. Not going back. The food was not as good as I remember... not sure what the problem is but I am guessing the management is not taking their...
Read moreI was craving a pastrami sandwich and didn’t want to go too far to get it, so I thought I’d give this sandwich maker another try. Upon entering, I noticed it was warm inside — not hospitable for indoor eating (probably why more people were eating outside…unless it was for another reason). order my sandwich — the young lady was nice and the ONLY employee wearing a mask.
i stood at the back (entrance) and waiting for all of the maskless employees work in the kitchen. One man kept pinching his nose but at no time did i notice him wash or sanitize his hands. Another lady grabbed her shirt collar to wipe her nose. I started to worry that I was in a Spreader Store — those businesses that don’t believe in the pandemic, vaccinations or masks but need to put up a semblance of protection for the public with a lame plexiglass screen. Maybe this place just had unhygienic workers. Whatever the case, I was going to nuke my sandwich for an extra 30 seconds just in case.
Now the sandwich wasn’t stupendous, I mean not for the $14+tax I paid. Bread wasn’t toasted enough to exhibited toasted and there wasn’t enough mustard to really stand out over the greasy layers of...
