Michael Pusateri: The best traditional French Dip sandwich in LA. I also recommend the tapioca pudding!
Maria Solis: Amazing! The double dipped lamb sandwich is delicious!! Try the pickled eggs they taste delightful and the lemon pie... I'm speechless! I love it!
Dan Valenzuela: Cash only, but you'll never find a better French Dip. It's my favorite sandwich so I always order it at restaurants, and Philippe's is the best. No contest.

Brittany Wilson: The garden vegetable sandwich is perfection. Add a lemonade and you're set for a great lunch.
F💫: Short rib sandwich is a killer .. P.S: If you can't find a place to park your car you can park it in the backyard
Shah: Great coffee. The short rib sandwich is great (and intense, get it if you're hungry). Tons of deserts, deli treats and bread (the French baguette is delicious). I have to come back and try everything.
Starry Kitchen: One of the best if not simply THE best sandwich in LA. Like everyone else says, #3 on the french baguette FTW. Don't think, just order it foo'
David A: Love any italian based shops. They have one of my favorite sandwiches the #5 Prosciutto, Mozzarella and Arugula.
Jason Redmond: Amazing sandwiches. I'll be back for sure when Hollywood Bowl season starts!

S Lee: Chaotic. BUT some fantastic food. Best falafel sandwich.Chicken dumpling soup amazing. Great quiche. Yummy pastries (donut, carrot cake, banana cream pie). Bfast sandies r ok. Brisket sandy too smokey
Maia K.S.: Go early & avoid the crowds. The roast beef sandwich and pork pot pie are 👌👌👌
GQ Magazine: Pick from menus (the porchetta sandwich is highly recommended and over-delivers); point at the daily sides and salads behind the glass counters; ogle desserts, juices, coffees, and just-baked breads. Read more.

mishka: The pork bahn mi is to die for! Looooove the *diet* black cherry soda
Greta Anderson: Spicy Lemongrass Steak Bahn Mi & Korean Potato Salad was delicious! Also, the Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, which goes a long way in my book! Excellent service!
Kimbo Perplies: Pork belly bahn mi is great but the Steak bahn mi is delicious, too!
Stephen Tatton: Brisket banh-mi is the best sandwich on the menu.
Florian Koenigsberger: The brisket banh mi is one of the best sandwiches I've had. Easy choice.
Jessica Blumenthal: I love the bang mi and the meatball sandwich for Dinner. The breakfast sandwich, granola, and toasts are an amazing way to wake up. Basically you can't go wrong!
Joshua F: Corned beef reuben is great. They have a cucumber salad that is a great alternative to coleslaw. I don't care for the potato salad. Skinny and curly fries are best. Free rye bread, just ask for it!
Courtney Lace: Skirt steak tacos and fried zucchini are to die for!! Matzo ball soup is great and the tongue sandwich for oldies. Place is a bit pricey but definately worth it. Great service.
Michael Lehrer: Killer combination Cabbage soup (it's fantastic) & 1/2 pastrami sandwich. Ask 4 bread brought to the table; enough delicious meat in the Brent's 1/2 to make two regular 1/2 sandwiches.
Nicole Lingner: option one: turkey meatball sandwich on ciabatta with berry trifle for desert, take home some of that Passion Fruit Posset & a few fruit crostada's ('specially the peach one) to reminisce later OMG Read more.
Sandi Boudreau: Get here early, they don't accept reservations. Bakery items are amazing. Sandwiches are the best I've ever had. The breads are incredible. Favorite for Santa Monica.
Gina Hart: Wonderful! Heaven @ the counter with all of the delicious homemade pastries! Food is Farm to Table goodness! Order the fried egg sandwich= Amazing!
