I’ve had the honor of visiting the place twice already. I will definitely be coming back soon. The customer service is awesome and the vibe inside is just that: a vibe. I always order the vegan cheesy chicken sandwich on a Dutch crunch roll. The texture and the taste is great. They have a good sized menu with subs for both carnivores and plantatarians. (I’m pretty sure that’s not even a word but you get what I’m saying?) This place is really really good. I highly recommend it.

Got the special of the month "VEGAN T.A.B.L.T" on a sweet Italian roll toasted. Very reminiscent of deli sandwiches I'd get growing up, except vegan. Pretty tasty and a great choice for a picnic in Golden Gate Park across the street.

I haven’t been to Irving Subs or Sunset Subs prior to today, so this is my first time trying these sandwiches. There was a queue ahead of my walk in to order a sandwich. If you’re visiting San Francisco or haven’t had a Dutch crunch sandwich, you have to try a Dutch crunch sandwich at least once in your life. I don’t make the rules. From walk in to ordering to go, it took about 18 minutes for the T.A.B.L.T sandwich with Dutch crunch bread to be toasted and assembled. There were only like 2 people working, so it was a bit of a wait for the sandwich but the staff at the register was friendly. I’ve had quite the number of BLT sandwiches, banh mi, and sandwiches with Dutch crunch bread in my life. I don’t claim to be a sandwich connoisseur, but I’d like to say that I know what I’m looking for in a sandwich. This T.A.B.L.T sandwich was THICK! Oh my goodness, it was so massive and satiating, as I’d hope for a $12 sandwich. (Technically, the sandwich was $15 after tax and tip.) The Dutch crunch bread on the sandwich was still crunchy and the bacon was still crispy by the time I returned home to devour the second half of the sandwich. The avocado was perfectly ripe and generously spread out. It was a well balanced stuffed sandwich with the mayo sauce, pickles, and pickled peppers. Overall, this is my verdict on the T.A.B.L.T sandwich: fantastic and filling! 10/10 would eat again. And might I say…this is the perfect sandwich for a picnic! Tips and recommendations: Get your sandwich bread toasted. Follow Sunset Subs on Instagram for a free snack. I opted for the Kettle Sea Salt chips for my snack of choice. You can order to pick up ahead of time to avoid a queue.

The place is bigger than it looks like. It has a few tables inside, snack area, drinks and more even some medicine like dramamine and tylenol. You can find good candy and snacks that most places don't have. The subs are good. You can choose the set options or make your own. There are vegan and regular options. The cashier wasn't friendly and service is kind of slow so come here with time and at your own risk.

Great sub shop! I happened across this when walking from the Japanese tea garden. It hit the spot for sure. When I came at 11:30 it wasn't busy but it quickly got busier, although they seemed to be getting the sandwiches out.

Stopped by for a quick breakfast and got the Heartburner breakfast sandwich. Definitely recommend! As soon as I saw the cross section of the sandwich I knew it was going to be amazing. The staff was also really nice and helpful. Gotta stop by again for some subs.

Having trouble with my card. The cashier said it's on the house.....I did pay anyway as for the sandwiches, the giant sandwich pacifically is really good. Good customer service. Good people highly recommended

Really great vegan options! I’m glad they have a separate vegan menu. We got the “soy spicy” and it was only 10 bucks, not greasy and delicious!

Although not a regular rotation for us, this is a pretty good sandwich shop. Good variety of sandwiches, close to Golden Gate Park which makes it one of a few easy choices to grab food for an impromptu picnic (tho not in this current weather) and located on a busy street. Located on 9th Ave between Lincoln Way and Irving.

My husband and I are big fans of Irving Subs, which is the original sister restaurant of Sunset Subs. I was eager to try this place, since it does have a nice heavy foot-trafficked area on 9th Avenue, serving the same sandwiches. I got the Giants sandwich, which is probably my favorite - a turkey sandwich with cheddar, bacon, and avocado. I'm not even a huge fan of bacon, but it does go well in this sandwich, without being too salty or overbearing. I love that you can order the sandwiches online, or through DoorDash - and the DoorDash option is NOT marked up for customers. Huge win. You can personalize the sandwich with many types of bread options - I particularly like choosing the Whole Wheat roll (which you can't really get at many places), which makes me feel less guilty, and it does still taste pretty great. I also really like that you can have it toasted, too. This location is slightly different from Irving Subs, as it's substantially larger, and therefore there are adequate seats and tables there. You can comfortable dine in here if you want to, which may be nice for people heading from Golden Gate Park. The sandwich ETA was about 20 mins for 2 sandwiches, but it ended up being ready in 10 mins! Nuts. Just prepare for that. I did the sandwiches to go, and did a double-parking in the area while running inside to pick it up. This is the only thing I really find inconvenient about this restaurant - there is a handy 5 min loading zone for customers like me to double, but there are TONS of doordash motorcyclists just waiting in that spot for their next order. They're just stalling, taking up space....frustrating. Also, there were a bunch of people behind me, also double parking. It just adds up on such a tight street! Anyway, the sandwich tasted just as great as Irving Subs. However, Irving Subs is just located in a way less congested area, even though they're just a few blocks away....so I will be returning to Irving Subs from now on.

Not much to say, this is a sandwich shop. Sunset Subs seems to mainly focus on to-go orders. The overall space was clean, minus the sticky tables. There's a reach-in fridge if you'd like a beverage with your order. -1 star for missing LETTUCE. The cashier addressed the situation (out of lettuce) before my purchase and offered to substitute with mixed greens. Americans are often in favor of a 'crunch factor' in their meals. Romaine or iceberg lettuce is essential for a sandwich like the 'Godfather.' -1 star for the pesto included in my sandwich. It was flavorless, not a single hint of basil flavor. It just tasted like oil. I ordered the 'Godfather,' I do plan on returning and trying the same sub, with a different bread. The bread I was served wasn't any different from something found at whole foods. My order was made in a reasonable amount of time. These days, 3 stars isn't a negative score. Amongst other establishments in the area, it could be a lot worse. On a positive note, this place definitely holds its value in the amount of protein included in the sandwich. Take a look yourself, decide if it's worth $14 after tax.

I was thrilled to see that the sandwich wasn't in between bread slices, rather an actual roll. I had to go back and double check that it was gluten free. Since I'm practically on a bland food diet, I opted for THE GIANTS which has turkey, cheddar, bacon and avocado. I kept the salt and pepper, lettuce, tomato, pickles...declined the onions, mustard, pepperoncini, vinaigrette, house garlicky mayo. Honestly, the bacon avocado and cheese gave my sandwich all the flavor it needed. If I were able to have all the inclusions again in the future, I'd imagine the sandwich would be so delicious and I wouldn't feel weighed down after. Portion was good -- enough to be full and have no leftovers, shop was clean, and service was solid. I'd come back! Sandwich options are abundant and fully customizable to preference.

I've gone to Sunset Subs a few times now and I'm a big fan of their sandwiches (esp the November). Most of their score from me is based on how much I like that sandwich. The price is okay, but I'd like to see a larger sandwich if I'm paying over $10 for one sandwich (though that may be unrealistic these days). The sandwiches are well filled with ingredients but short in length compared to what I picture. The store has a decent amount of seating which I've never seen full, I tend to take my food to-go. It also always seems clean, so no issues there. Other areas for improvement: - Service speeds. The first time I ordered I ordered ahead and the sandwich was ready long before the time I selected. The other times I've ordered at the counter and had very slow service. - Hours. The change in hours was slightly confusing, as I thought they'd have extended hours everyday. I'd love to see the shop open for dinner everyday, even if they have to close for a mid-afternoon stretch. A few times I've wanted a sandwich for dinner and been disappointed.

THESE PEOPLE HOOOOOK ITTT UPPP! FAT, REALLY STUFFED SANDWICHES! Nothing to complain but alot to praise! Small shop, big kitchen and prep space means business! You are greeted immediately by the squad while they are working on other orders as they make them as the orders come in to make sure each sandwich is made freshhh! You will not be disappointed! Order everything once and I can assure you will wanna come back for more!

I always have a great experience at this place! I believe it's family owned and the people who run it are very nice. Also, their sandwiches are hard to beat. Nothing too fancy just your average high-quality deli sandwiches with grape bread great choices of meat and veggies and of course chips and drinks available for purchase.

You know, sometimes it really is better to be lucky than good. Given how long I've been meaning to check out Irving Subs, it would seem somewhat counterintuitive that I'd end up coming to Sunset Subs for a sandwich when I was in the area, considering the two are only a few blocks away from each other. However, much to my delight (and utter surprise), that the two are actually sister locations to each other! Talk about blind luck, being able to essentially knock off two places from my list at once. Sigh, if only my good fortune could've been used on something like that billion dollar mega millions drawing instead...HA! In all seriousness, even though I didn't realize Sunset Subs was connected to Irving Subs until I had already ordered (who would have guessed they would have two location so close together?), I was no less excited to come here after scouting their menu on their window one day. With over two dozen sandwiches on their menu, including an array of breakfast and vegetarian/vegan sandwiches, Sunset Sub certainly isn't lacking in the way of options for people to choose from! **All of their sandwiches include lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, pepperoncini, brown mustard, house garlicky mayo, salt & pepper, and house vinaigrette unless otherwise specified. -- GOODFELLAS on Dutch Crunch - Prosciutto, Mild Coppa, Salami, Provolone, and Pesto Sauce...$12.75 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sunset-subs-san-francisco?select=3JwSRKI5QYAi80fvUwsh_A) Not amazing, but not bad either. Although I couldn't taste the prosciutto, I liked the coppa and salami and thought the pesto sauce was pretty tasty. If I could've changed one thing, I think hot coppa might have worked better, if only to add some spice and differentiate from the salami. -- FRATELLINO on Dutch Crunch - Mortadella, Black Forest Ham, Salami, Smoked Gouda, and Roasted Red Peppers...$12.25 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sunset-subs-san-francisco?select=7Te8y6M-V0UDZbXLa4rkdQ) I didn't originally intend on getting so similar to the Goodfellas, but I'm glad I did. Of the two, I thought the meats in this one meshed better together and were complemented nicely by the roast red peppers (not super sweet). Across both of the sandwiches I tried (though more so with the Goodfellas), and as several other Yelpers have already noted, is that they were loaded with veggies. While that's obviously not an inherently bad thing (veggies are good for you!), it did make them feel like they were short on meat. Granted, it's quite possible that the amount was actually fine and that the ratio was just thrown off by all of the lettuce and tomatoes, but I could see my friend's point that they also just served as "filler" (he mentioned that the two ends of his order felt like he was eating a salad between two slices of bread. In spite of our (mild) complaints, the appeal of what Sunset Subs (and Irving Subs, by extension) is more than apparent. Even though some of the menu options only have slight variations from each other (evidenced by the two that I tried), most of the sandwiches are still rather appealing. So much so that we still came back after our first visit here and I wouldn't be shy about doing it again. They may not hold up against my favorite spot in the Sunset (Lou's!), and they're priced slightly higher, but I wouldn't be staunchly opposed to coming back, especially to try one of their breakfast sandwiches! THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down for now.

Great subs. Loved the Dutch crunch rolls. We actually were trying to go to Irving Subs and walked past this place on the way. When we got to the Irving store, it was just one employee who was weeded, told us no cashier, order through the QR, once scanning the code, I saw both the locations and Sunset had an earlier pick up time, so we headed back over there. Sunset seemed to be better staffed, employees were a lot more friendly. Plus Sunset had a better sub of the month, the Italian Cowboy - was my favourite of the three we tried. Goodfellas came 2nd and Warriors was my least favourite. I do prefer a hot sub. We took one as some food for the airport and ate it after our connecting flight, and it was still good. Recommend this place.

Must try: their dutch crunch Why visit? This is definitely one of the best sandwich shops in the area, but I felt like the sandwich was a little dry and could use a little something extra, but the staff were very kind although the wait was quite long Protip: get extra mayo!

Great option for picnic in the park. Lots of yummy snacks too. Same great quality as Irving subs. I toggle between which ever I can find parking first. Parking is impossible so visit on foot

I don't know whether San Francisco sandwich shops can get more than three stars from me these days. (Love N Haight [RIP] was the tragic exception.) If the sandwich is worth four or five stars, it's probably $19.87, which drops it a star or two. If the sandwich is decent and not too expensive, it's definitely too small for me. And since COVID, sandwich shops and all other places have been shrinking the size of their bread--which also decreases the total ingredients you get--so you're paying the same amount or more for noticeably less sandwich. I like Sunset Subs. I wanted to try--and really should have tried--its much more conveniently located (to me) sister shop Mission Subs before it closed in June. But regret usually goes nowhere good or fast, so we'll skip it for this review. My sandwich was very good. It was too expensive, and slightly too small. I had to wait a long time for it, which is fine because I came during a lunch rush and saw a bunch of other people ordering and/or waiting for their sandwiches. The shop itself feels like a bigger version of Crave Subs in Downtown Berkeley when it was located on Center Street, but whereas Crave felt cramped and uninviting, Sunset Subs feels almost too big and mysterious, so it's inviting and also strange. I guess they sell stuff other than sandwiches, so it's a kind of sandwich store, but that's not quite right either. They don't have as many vegetarian options as Crave Subs--and now, for some reason, I'm comparing Sunset Subs to Crave Subs when that was never my intention. I'd come again, but there are just too many better options on 9th Avenue to make that likely. Bring back Mission Subs!

It amazing that places like this stay in business. Sandwich was thrown together and poorly made. The amount of Mayo and mustard maybe could have feed a small mouse. The tomatoes were basically white and I had to remove them from the sandwich. When are people going to start taking sandwiches seriously . I'd go to the store and make my own before returning here.

We decided to picnic at Golden Gate Park and wanted some good sandwiches - looked no further than Sunset Subs, which is really close to the park! Ordered online and they were just finishing up my order when I arrived. Everything was delicious and fresh! I got the turkey, avocado bacon and added Swiss on a Dutch Crunch roll - next time I am getting it toasted! My family got other sandwiches - all toasted and they were so nicely melty and warm! The Melt! And two Make Your Own Sandwiches (roast beef and cheddar, salami and swiss). Everyone was happy - and the sandwiches were sizable! I ate one half and saved the other half for later! Great friendly service and nice and clean interiors!

Original posting: What more could you ask from a Sub Sammy? The sandwich was packed with expected tasty fillings- except HOWEVER- Big Fail on the bread. The sliced rye was stale. It cracked like the San Andreas fault line- unacceptable. Luckily my tip was for the friendly service. Figure it out if you want the business. Updated posting: 10 minutes later. I'm sitting here eating the sandwich with my fingers like Frank Reynold in Always Sunny in Ph. What a mess. It's a 1 star place with no return. No participation trophy will be handed out.

I absolutely love the subs here. I have to restrain myself because I could eat here every day if calories and health allowed. My fave is the Masonic (on Sourdough). It's so close to GGPark. Bring your sandwich to the park to eat!

I was doing my usual exploration of Golden Gate Park with Jaime and I was looking for a bite to eat nearby. This place caught my eye since it looked new. Besides, there was no one in line so I tied up Jaime outside and immediately placed my order after studying the menu on the app. I wanted Pastrami, and they had a "Specialty Subs" menu named "Nearly Reuben" that comes with Double Pastrami, Horseradish and Havarti. If they have Dutch Crunch as an option for bread, it's automatic. The person who was taking my order asked me if I was OK that it included lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, pepperoncini, brown mustard, house garlicky mayo, salt & pepper and house vinaigrette. I told him yes. He asked if I wanted it toasted, and I enthusiastically replied yes. After placing my lone order, I moved to the side as another customer behind me began placing her order. From what I could observe, she requested 3 items. Then I waited.....and waited.....and waited, I was beginning to wonder what was taking so long since the female employee who was assembling the subs seems to have already finished several subs. I realized that some of them were pre-orders as they were set aside, but then when when they handed 3 subs to the customer who was waiting behind her order, I was ticked. I was perturbed. I felt dissed. Am I invisible? WTF?! I did not voice my displeasure as I internalized what just transpired and was seething inside that I had to wait several minutes more before my sub was done. Now the person who took my order was very nice. But I don't know what happened where I was the first in line and was the last to receive my order. I bit my tongue as they handed me my sub so I thought it better be amazing to recover from this. I walked to Stow Lake to have my meal and at first glance, it looked impressive and promising. It had nice layer of meat, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce that made it look full. First bite, was decent, but I wasn't wowed. It had more of tangy taste and was lacking some garlic flavor. The Dutch Crunch was nicely toasted. The Pastrami was just OK, but it was satisfying. However, I realized that looks can be deceiving. After having several bites, I noticed that the pastrami meat was gone and realized they had layered the pastrami meat more in the middle and there was hardly any meats on the edge of the sub. I was basically eating a lettuce and tomato sub for a quarter of the portion. The whole experience left a bitter taste in my mouth.

I've ordered from them way too many times. You have to add their ghost pepper hot sauce.

4.25 DELI SANDWICH STOP 2: (and maybe last sandwich explicitly vegan for #Veganuary). Ordered the yummy hummy (hummus, roasted red peppers, artichoke, pepperoncini), but they were out of hummus :( so they subbed in avocado! Pros: full/loaded sandwich, super crunchy yummy bread, LOVED the flavor combos of pepperoncini/roasted peppers. And basically everything else on the sandwich. Cons (SO few): artichoke pieces were kinda big so that + the avocado made for a sandwich that was falling apartttt My only reason for a 4 was missing the hummus / the falling apart-ness but it was delish. The store has all kinds of chips and snacks + plush toys, and the server was a real one for helping us alter the sandwiches even with missing ingredients. Tip: they typically have a wait, around 20-30 min on a Saturday afternoon around 2 pm (probs longer during peak lunch hours), so call ahead or grab a treat/snack for while you wait!

Picked up subs from here yesterday to take to Golden Gate Park for a picnic. We were able to order right away and they were quick to make our food! It's a great location with so much nearby. They have a large selection of specialty subs to choose from. I opted for the T.A.B.L.T. So good! Lots of bread options to pick from as well.

Got takeout on a Friday afternoon. Ordered ahead and set a time for pick-up. Built my own sandwich. Got a pastrami sandwich with all the works and the pre-selected sauces (house garlicky mayo and brown mustard), no cheese on dutch crunch toasted. The sandwich was stuffed with meat and toppings. Everything was delicious. The mayo was creamy but wasn't thick, maybe beacuse the vinaigrette thinned it out. The brown mustard wasn't spciy, just added a little bit of something. Pickles are pretty acidic, but it balanced well with everything else. Pastrami was delicious. Dutch crunch was fresh and had a great exterior. For a great tasting sandwich that's less than $10, I will definitely be back.

Joe K.

Yelp
Great sub shop love it ! The Dutch crunch roll was delicious. Employees were friendly, if you'd followed them on Social Media you got a free snack item. The Italian Cowboy, sub of the month - was the best. Would definitely recommend this place.

We got in shortly after noon on a Sunday and somehow beat the line that quickly formed as we waited for our order. We ended up taking our sandwiches over to Sutro Tower to enjoy our sandwiches with a view. The Dutch crunch had great flavor and wasn't overly hard on top. Their garlicky mayo included standard on sandwiches makes everything taste better. The ghost pepper sauce in Alma's Hot & Spicy gave just a little hint of heat so it wasn't overwhelming. The bacon in the November made that sandwich not your typical turkey-cran. Parking can be challenging in the area as expected anywhere in SF.

Dropped by this place for a late lunch after a visit to the De Young Museum. Tables inside if you have a small group or want to eat by yourself. Clean interior and the menu was in large font (super helpful for those with poor eyesight!) Got the November sandwich which is their version of turkey & cranberry but it also includes crispy bacon and white cheddar. Got it with all the toppings (pickles, lettuce, tomato, etc.) on Dutch crunch. Got a blood orange Italian soda also. Blood Orange Italian soda - refreshing, right amount of sweetness November sandwich - the lettuce was still cold which made for a very nice contrast to the warm turkey, bacon, and cranberry sauce. They cut it in half and it's a large sandwich. I think if I wasn't going somewhere afterwards, I would have saved one half and ate it for dinner. Overall, it was a really quiet place. The only sounds we're from the workers talking and making the sandwich. Would love to try their other sandwiches!

Great sandwiches for a good price. Place is clean and service was good. Wouldn't hesitate to stop by here for a sandwich fix. Parking can be challenging but worth it if you have a sammich craving.

My friend and I were looking for something vegetarian for lunch after visiting the deYoung. I got the plant-based club. It was spectacular, and enough for two people, really. Vegan chicken and vegan bacon with a tasty sauce and avocado, mayo, tomato, and lettuce. My friend got the caprese sandwich. It also looked delicious, and he said it was. I live in San Jose but now I'll have to head back up to SF soon...

Erin K.

Yelp
VEGAN review: They have 5 or so subs that are vegan as well as vegan bread options! I had the Cheesy BBQ Chick'n sub on a Dutch crunch roll and I enjoyed it. It needed more BBQ sauce/flavor but that was the only thing I felt was missing. I loved that I had a few options to pick from and that all the breads were vegan. Portion was hearty. The bf got a Goodfellas (obv not vegan) and it looked huge and he said it was good. The subs take 5-10 minutes to make. Great for vegans and non-vegans alike and would make a great meal for a picnic across the street at the park.

Christine F.

Yelp
Pretty good sandwich! Ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese for a decent price of $8. I highly recommend getting it with the garlic mayo because without it, it would've been too bland - one note. Needs something fresh in it though to make it complete, such as tomato or arugula. I'd come back to try a different sandwich.

Consistent quality and taste keep me coming back for lunch when I crave an old-school sandwich. Staff are always friendly, too. Ordering and paying online makes picking up my takeout order super easy and convenient. Tip in cash, though!

These are the best sandwiches I've ever had. I always get the Goodfellas - their take on an Italian sub from Irving Subs. Tastes identical to the sister store! You have to get the garlic mayo on it - that's the default selection. They stuff their subs full of meat and have the perfect balance of veggies to even it out. The vinaigrette is necessary to bring it all together. I've had this sando with multiple bread options but I like the ciabatta the most. Just beware it's a juicy boy so you need to plan if you're eating it immediately or later to choose your bread. All the other sandwiches I've tried from here have been tasty but I'm not a sandwich person (except for Banh mi) so I think they're good not great. The Goodfellas is GREAT. I get a bag of Zapp's Voodoo to go with it. The folks working in the store are super nice and they're pretty quick. I've ordered in store and online and both experiences are easy. They also own a couple other sub joints close by and I like that this one has a little snack market inside.

Sunset Subs makes deli sandwiches the way they should be: plenty of fixings, tangy, not overly dripping with sauce, and packed full of fresh ingredients. We ordered the Giants special, November special (Turkey with cranberry sauce), potato salad, and pesto pasta salad through Grubhub. Both were ready within 10 minutes of ordering, and we noticed that they were quite busy fulfilling online and in person orders. Their location is conveniently located close to the 9th Ave and Lincoln Way entrance to GGP, which is perfect for those wanting to grab lunch to eat at the park. I highly recommend Sunset Subs not just for the mere fact that they hit it out of the park with taste and quality alone, but also because their prices are reasonable and you get great value for the price you pay.

I had a small DoorDash gift card to use and I needed lunch for the airport the next day, so Sunset Subs it was. I actually wanted to go to Irving Subs but that location isn't on DoorDash. I ordered The Giants and a side of Pesto Pasta. The sandwich was large enough to share with someone, even more so because I got a side. -- The sandwich was piled high with meat and veggies. There was also a good amount of bacon, but they skimped on the avocado. The bread was soft and fresh. I don't know if there was too much going on in the sandwich, but I couldn't taste their house garlicky mayo. Overall, a solid sandwich with a great combination of ingredients. -- The pesto pasta was generously coated in a creamy pesto sauce. The pasta was cooked well and wasn't a soggy, mushy mess. There were shredded carrots, peas, and olive slices throughout. I can't say the sandwich or pesto pasta blew my mind or is the best sandwich I've had, but it will satisfy your sandwich craving and it's a good lunch option if you're in the Inner Sunset.

Wow! Super delicious! I ordered the Loaded Veggie Sub (toasted) and was really impressed. From the first bite I knew I loved it. And...I wasn't actually hungry. I had just eaten breakfast and planned to take the sub home for lunch, but thought I should try a few bites before I left the store...twas Amazing!!! Surprisingly, I was able to save the other half for lunch a few hours later and I was still super impressed. I might try it not toasted next time just to see how it compares with toasted. Also, the staff was professional and courteous! Yay! My new favorite sub place.

Katie & Christina are sandwich making goddesses. I would consider myself a sandwich snob. My #1 sandwich place would be Genova's Delicatessen in Napa. This place blew it out of the water. All the ingredients are extra fresh and thinly sliced. The bread was amazing. Not sure where they get it from but it's the best dutch I've had. The real magic is from Katie & Christina. The perfect ratio, presentation, friendliness. Sandwich was made with love 1,000% would come back

Sports fans, I have a very serious question for you: Giants or Warriors? Why not both?! Sunset Subs, you can get the best fo both worlds! They have two popular options: the Giants and Warriors. - The Giants - Turkey, Cheddar, Thick Cut Bacon, & Avocado - Warriors - Salami, Mild Coppa, Mortadella, Provolone, & Roasted Red Peppers Like Coke and Pepsi, sometimes you just need a little bit of both and that will get you through the day. They are open everyday and have 3 locations in San Francisco [9th Ave, 12th Ave, and Valencia]. You can place your order for pick up via Doordash, delivery via Doordash, or dine in.

It seems kinda crazy that they have a shop so close to the basically identical Irving Subs spot but what do I know. My tuna melt was just ok. The tuna salad was good but they weren't able to sufficiently melt the cheese, probably because they put too much. A lot of cheese in a sandwich can certainly be a good thing but if you can't melt and spread it around, then you just have a brick of cheese in the middle of your tuna sandiwch.

I've been twice for their vegan subs, and the sandwiches were phenomenal both times! The cheesy bbq chick'n, which ironically didn't have bbq sauce because they were out, was still flavorful and filling with their garlic mayo as a substitute. The vegan chicken also tastes suspiciously like real chicken, which made the sandwich great both times. The vegan BLT was good too, but not as good as the bbq chick'n in my opinion. These are the kinds of sandwiches that are so full to the brim that it's hard to eat it all without making a mess (to me, that's the sign of a great sandwich though). There was a pretty long wait time on Saturday around 2 PM (25 minutes), but I just took the time to walk around nearby. There was a lot of seating when my sandwich was ready, so my friends and I enjoyed them at their spacious tables.

Solid sub shop close to the park. There are several in this neighborhood that are good. It's your typical sub with all the fresh, crisp veggies you could ask for. There's a thing these days with subs that do something wacky with their food. You know, Ike's, Bite me, etc. This place is pretty straight forward but solid. If you're headed to the Botanical Gardens, this is a no-brainer visit for a picnic.

Sunset Subs is a newly opened sandwich shop conveniently located on 9th & Irving but it is definitely not new to San Francisco! There are also locations by the same owner with the same menu in Inner Sunset, Chinatown, and Mission! Their sandwiches are seriously so stacked that it's hard to do a one-biter of the entire sandwich They have lots of great options including sandwiches for my vegetarian friends so please check them out! I tried: Fratellino: Mortadella, Black Forest Ham, Salami, Smoked gouda, and roasted red peppers on Dutch Crunch -- the gouda with the ham was amazing and I love a good dutch crunch! Alma's Hot & Spicy: Black forest ham (or Turkey), Havarti, Avocado, Jalepenos and Ghost Pepper Hot sauce on Ciabatta-- not bad but definitely could've used an extra kick. Didn't have too much of a spice besides the jalapeños but otherwise a pretty packed and solid sandwich

I ordered a Turkey and avocado sandwich and ate it in halves. There is something about that combination with their mayo that made me want more even after I was full. I am so looking forward to ordering the whole sandwich again. Yum!

I absolutely loved Sunset Subs, conveniently located just a block away from Golden Gate Park! It's perfect for your work-from-home lunch or dinner. I took my subs to the park for a nice afternoon picnic. (: I honestly can't believe how huge the sandwiches were! There's so many options to choose from.

This place was a welcome stop on a busy day in Golden Gate park and the museums nearby. Walked in about 1pm and took about 20 minutes for our sandwiches. There were 2 people furiously making sandwiches non-stop in a tiny space, so kudos there. The sandwiches were HUGE. My hubby got the one with ghost pepper sauce and was sweating the whole time he was eating it. I got the thanksgiving one and it was too big to eat in one sitting. It lasted until later that evening mostly unscathed. Front staff was really friendly. Good location inner sunset. Would come back!

Really good vegan selection and they did a good job delivering by their estimated time.

The monthly special Vegan Italian Black Truffle sub is incredible, and I'm a carnivore. It's a harmony of the saltiness of the "salami," crunch of the very fresh veggies, pickle and toasted wheat roll and the hint of the black truffle pâté in the background. My second choice would be the T.A.B.L.T. on the regular menu. In any event, get your subs on here!

Really good new sandwich shop in the Inner Sunset. I tried the Masonic which is described on the menu as roast chicken breast with Swiss and spicy mayo. The sandwich is huge. I could barely get my mouth around this beast. The bread is top-notch. The fillings were tasty. My only nitpick is that it's closer to a chicken salad sandwich than what I was expecting and it's a bit heavy-handed (for my taste) on the sauce/mayo/spread. That said, I know better for next time and will order accordingly. But for other sandwich lovers, this will be the right ratio of sauce--I can respect that. If you want a hearty, good-value sandwich on high quality bread that's a bit messy when you bite into it, this is the place for you.

I was looking forward to trying a sub this location and came by during noon. I was immediately told that if I was looking to order I'd have to wait an hour to order because they're really busy. There were only 1-2 customers inside waiting so I could only assume they had a bunch of online orders to cater to. Understandable, but why aren't you even trying to cater to your customers that come by to order in person? For that reason I would not recommend coming to this location. If you do, either order online well in advance or be prepared to wait a long time.

The food is great but allow yourself at least 30 min wait for your sandwich. I am not sure why it always takes so long to make a sandwich but it does. Most of the time it is worth the wait!

I'm not a huge sandwich fan to be honest, but this was a great place to pick from as I was tasked with picking up lunch for everyone. I typically go to Yellow Submarine if I'm looking for a sandwich, but wanted to try to new spot and also Sunset Subs was open earlier. Ordered about 4 sandwiches using a Yelp promo and it took about 15-20 mins. Payed with Apple Pay and easy as that. Drove with the sandwiches for ~30 mins and they held up well. This was important and I asked about the staff their recommendations for the sandwiches so they would make it. Would come back :)
