Sandwich Monkey

The husband and I visited Sandwich Monkey for lunch and honestly, we didn't have high expectations. However, we were proven wrong!We ordered the King Louie and the Italian Jungle on their Dutch Crunch, both of which were very generous in size and fully loaded! The husband and I ended up saving the other half for dinner, which still tasted great.Located in the Plaza Apartments, parking was not an issue. The restaurant itself was clean with a handful of seating available inside and out. Staff was welcoming and helpful in providing recommendations. Looking forward to returning to try out other items from their menu!

I was a little daunted by the price point, but after seeing how large the sandwiches and salads are, I think it's well worth the price! The sandwiches and salads are easily big enough for two people with how stuffed and loaded they are. I personally really enjoyed the barbecue chicken salad and I'm looking forward to trying to king Louie next time! I prefer the wheat bread over the Dutch crunch here.The staff were sweet with helping me make a decision as it's quite a large menu!The interior has two small tables and the exterior has three tables with some shade. Parking is easy and this was a great stop while running errands in foster city!

The sandwich was really good and the staff was fast and efficient. There was an option for us to sit and dine in which would have been cool but I needed to get back to work.

The sandwiches are so good. I tried the Italian sandwich regular size and I still couldn't finish it. The guy was quick to make it and got out of there in less than 10 minutes. Sometimes they even have one buy get one through Uber eats as well.Parking was relatively easy but I think it was dead that day. Not a lot of foot traffic, and I can only assume that if it's actually lunch time and everyone is working it would be busy.

I have family that live in the area so it's been a convenient spot for me to pick up sandwiches while visiting them. Over the years I've just been less and less happy with the sandwich and finally I can say I'm done. My latest visit the regular guy that helps you at the register was there. He seemed off, not friendly, didn't greet or thank me for coming in. i ordered the king Louie. The chicken was dreadfully DRY, almost as if it was old and reheated and sadly used for my sandwich. The veggie portion was lacking at best. Two tomato slices with barely any lettuce to speak of. I asked for extra garlic spread and it was completely left out all together. It's sad as I remember how good this place used to be when it first opened in the area. Won't be back you're better off trying another spot nearby.

Super disappointed! We visit this place often but today I am especially bummed. I understand price increases BUT please please make an exceptional sandwich. Asked for no onion on both sandwiches but got onion on both . Asked for extra mayo on both sides of bread but did not get that and got extra mustard on one of them. Both sandwiches are dry. For $42.85 I am really sad that my order was not made correctly. Definitely will be trying out new sandwich spots.

With a name like Sandwich Monkey...I am very curious.  First of all the shop is part of an apartment complex.  There is parking but most of the parking spots are marked "visitor parking".We phoned in our order when we realized that when you order online it goes thru Grubhub. Wanted to make sure the shop did not have to pay any service fees.We ordered: The  #12 - Italian Jungle($13.20)  on a sweet roll.  Loaded with veggies... artichoke hearts, pepperoncinis, and the normal sandwich veggies.  There was supposed to be oregano and a garlic sauce.... but honestly I did not taste any of that.  There was a real thin layer of salami, capicola, mortadella and provolone .  Honestly the sandwich is a bit on the bland side.  I could barely taste the vinegar but nothing really stood out.   The #02 - Monkey's Uncle ($12.50) on Dutch Crunch.  The mistake here is this is a toasted sandwich...as you might imagine what happens when you toast Dutch Crunch.... the top of the roll was well charred... so it will shred the roof of your mouth much more efficiently.  This is their interpretation of a warmed Reuban.   Really good sandwich... the meat to bread to filling ratio was pretty good and this was actually a decent value.  The sauerkraut is not overpowering...it was a really good balance of flavor.  -- Jerry G.

I love deli sandwiches. They're my favorite lunch food. This place bummed me out from the gitgo. The staff seemed disinterested and unhappy. There were no smiles or even a hello. The music was loud, too, for some reason. Everything seemed odd. Anyway, I had to tell the guy that it was my first time. He gave me a few of the popular choices and I settled on the pastrami and also a turkey avacado. Long story short. The pastrami sandwich was terrible. There was no flavor. The sandwich fell apart and was messy (see picture). Parts of the roll were hard like it was stale. It was just a bummer. I didn't finish it and I finish everything. I just powered through my $40 lunch as best I could. The rest I balled up and threw the rest away. The turkey avacado wasn't much better. Management: Turn down the music. Train your staff on attitude and customer service. A smile goes a long way. Instead of a number just ask the customer for their name. I was the only one waiting and your employee kept yelling "Thirty six! Thirty six!". And please train them on making a good sandwich. You're expensive so it better be great.

So Tasty!! Bless their hearts!! I am so glad this place exists!! You should really check it out!!

This place owner is out of his mind on changing the prices on sandwiches, it's ridiculous what he's charging four two sandwiches. We used pay 31$ for two largeTuna melts with toppings. Now he's charging 57$ for the same sandwichsandwiches lmao. For that price I'll go sit down at a restaurant and have a meal. Stay away from cooks like this place.
