One of my foodie friends originally wanted to visit this sandwich shop in Grand Central Market, but we ended up getting food at different stalls because because Ghost Sando Shop ran out of certain sandwiches. Well I am not the type of person about to give up, so I stopped by this stall again the following day. The founder of Ghost Sando Shop originally started Ghost Pizza (https://www.yelp.com/biz/ghost-pizza-kitchen-los-angeles) and transitioned to Ghost Sando Shop in late 2023. The sandwich shop is known for huge sandwich portions, meats from Boar's Head, and signature 8" Dutch Oven Bread. Currently Ghost Sando Shop have 4 locations - Melrose (flagship location - LA), Toluca Lake (Burbank), Huntington Beach, and Grand Central Market (Downtown LA).
[Parking]: Grand Central Market has a designated parking garage - $5 flat rate for 90-minute parking.
[Order]: I didn't have to wait for too long as my order was ready in 5 minutes.
[Menu]: 10 hot sandos and 9 cold sandos - Uncle Nikki is the most popular cold sando and the smallest size customers can order is large. Ghost Sando Shop only offers large, XL (1.5x large), and XXL (2x large). All sandos are the same length and they just get taller with increasing size.

Uncle Nikki (Dutch Crunch Roll packed with Genoa Salami, Pepperoni, Capicola and covered in Provolone Cheese layered with Mayo, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onions and Pepperoncini and drizzled with homemade Italian dressing, oils and herbs - $16 large): Damn what a killer Dutch crunch bread! Not only did this cold cut sandwich have all of right ingredients, it also had the perfect meat-to-lettuce-to-dressing ratio. Just perfect texture from Dutch crunch bread and amazing flavors.
The Melrose (Toasted Dutch Crunch Roll smeared with famous Melrose spread and packed with Black Forrest Ham, Oven Roasted Turkey, Thick Cut Bacon and melted White American Cheese and topped with house slaw [ettuce, red onions, pepperoncini tossed in our Melrose spread] and tomato - $16 large): Personally this hot sando was not as good as Uncle Nikki (cold sando), but I could taste quality of these ingredients.

5-star worthy sandwich shop and it was certainly one of better food recommendations from my foodie friend. I could have a large sando here and eat half for lunch & half for dinner.
