5th Ave - Reviews

My experience at the restaurant was centered around their pastrami sandwich. It arrived toasted with all the fixings. The sandwich itself was good tasting, moist, and warm. The bread was also nicely toasted, and they were generous with the meat, they didn't skimp on the meat.

I have tried 5 or 6 different sandwiches now, and pretty much they have all been pretty bad. Today I tried the BLT, and I'm baffled as to how one can mess up a BLT. It was just a soggy mess on stale bread. This place is now on my "I'll pass" list.

I was looking for something new to try when I got hungry, so I asked my colleague for a recommendation. She suggested 5th Avenue Deli & Market, a small, hidden gem tucked away in the Embarcadero Center near the corner of Clay and Drumm streets. They offer a large selection of sandwiches, non-alcoholic drinks, and chips to accompany their creations. Since I'm not a picky eater, I asked the friendly cashier what their most popular sandwich was. Without hesitation, he declared, "SanFranPsycho! " This sandwich features honey turkey, bacon, Gouda cheese, garlic butter, pesto, and Cajun mayo, all piled high on your choice of bread. I went with sourdough, gutted out and toasted with everything. While 5th Avenue has no indoor seating available, there are benches outside in the Embarcadero Center. I took it back to the office, and with the first bite, I was in love! The sandwich was perfect - the bread was fresh and perfectly toasted, the flavors exploded in my mouth, and it was incredibly filling. I'm officially a fan! If you work nearby and have a sandwich craving, check out 5th Avenue Deli & Market. This is one sandwich experience you won't regret!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The sandwiches were SO good, and I particularly enjoyed the 'Goodfella'. They offer a quick service with tons of drink and chip options to go. The staff was super friendly. While there's no place to sit and eat inside, there's plenty of outdoor seating available in the plaza.

My experience at this restaurant has been consistently wonderful. We've visited 10 to 20 times, and every single time, the experience is the exact same, which is a fantastic thing. In a city with very tough competition, these sandwiches are absolutely out of this world. I want to give a special shout out to the San Franpsycho on Dutch crunch. Whenever we have friends in town staying in FiDi, this is always the recommendation. It will never steer you wrong.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I ordered the SanFranPsycho on sourdough bread, and it was likely the best sandwich I’ve ever eaten. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, warm, and delicious. The service and atmosphere both received a perfect 5/5 rating, and the food was also rated a 5/5. The price per person was between $10–20.

My pals Wally the Weasel and Trenchcoat Bob and I were out exploring, and the Weasel claimed Lucca Deli was the best in the City. Trenchcoat Bob disagreed vehemently, yelling that the 5th Avenue Deli is the best. To settle the debate, I suggested we go to the 5th Avenue Deli and Market, my treat. While I've visited many delis in the city, this was my first time at 5th Avenue. I can't definitively say it's the absolute best, but it's certainly in the top 5.

My experience at Dos Primos was incredibly positive. The sourdough sandwich was friggin GOOD and YUM, creating a perfect mouth chaos. It truly delivered what a San Franciscan wants, interrupting my normal workday brain with a crash of gratitude for the little things in life that go YUM!

While there are many good sandwich options in the area, I find myself returning to this restaurant at least once a week. Pretty much anything you try on their menu is tasty and thoughtfully prepared. The lines can be long at lunch, but they move quickly. It's a great option to pick up a sandwich here on a nice day and eat it at one of the tables next door in Embarcadero Plaza.

My experience was with a good sandwich that had a nice spicy kick from the pickled jalapeños. The service was quick and nice. The shop itself is clean, but it was hard to find, located tucked away in a corner on the 2nd floor of the 4 Embarcadero building. To find it, go up the escalator to the 2nd floor, turn left, then another immediate left, and you'll see the shop tucked away. It wasn't obvious even when I was looking; I walked past it a couple of times.
