“ I have dreams about the Ira Glass the sandwich that made me realize I love sprouts what?. Im also a massive fan of the DeeDee Bridgewater and the Larry Mantle when I want something that reminds me of an east coast Italian sub but has its own special something. The Mr. Beans salad is also wonderful, as are the drinks and the ice cream. I cant recommend this place enough. ”
“ Great one of a kind sandwiches that taste even better than they look. Bread is amazing, meats, veggies and the cheese are all amazing. Last time I went they also had dole whip with taijin sprinkled on top. Must try and repeat. ”
“ Ok first Id like to say you must try this hidden gem. I guess Im a bit late but oh shitaky what a sandwich. This aint your run of the mill good sandwich or subguey crud. These peeps have crafted on their own level for sure. Flavors smashing your mouth hole from everywhich way. Acids, tangs, pickling, subtle and not do subtle from bite to bite. Thank you Wax Paper Ctown for letting me experience what your art has evolved into. I enjoyed every moment and will be back to try others. Today was the Larry Mantle tommortow the World! ”
“ Cool LA deli with a new take on old classics and large portions. This place has a cool ambience and very cool staff. Melissa is our fav! ”
“ If you need to know anything, know that Wax Paper has UNIQUE and DELICIOUS sandwiches! We were looking at menus online for places to grab something to go after shopping all morning. My best friend is vegetarian and wanted something with variety, light, but filling, and Ill be honest I wanted, very specifically, a sandwich hahah. Wax Paper fit our needs, perfectly! These were some of the best sandwiches Ive had from a togo spot! Ordering online was easy, staff was super fun and made sure our orders were perfect upon pickup. Their whole menu sounded intreguing, it was hard to choose! Loved the house pickles all varieties! and how absolutely PACKED the togo containers were with fresh food! We ended up liking the sandwiches so much, we got another order to take with us for later in the evening. I got the Larry Mantle and Ophira Eisenburg. Both were layered heavily with ingredients on pillowy but chewy breads. These sandwiches were pretty... wet? too? With lots of saucebrine from the pickles. Everything tasted balanced and really hit the spot! My friends only complaint is that the Ira Glasss cheddar got a little gluey after a few bites, but they were still impressed by the flavorful deli cheese nonetheless! ”
“ The sandwiches Garth Trinidad Larry Mantle were delicious but big enough to share. Try the canadian cold brew coffee. ”
“ Pretty much a guarantee that I will stop at this sandwich shop in Chinatown. Sandos are thoughtfully constructed on bub and grandma breads. Big, well constructed selections that are honestly too hard to choose from so you might be there again before you know it for another crave. Be advised that they run through a good amount of items around 1400pm and some sell out. ”
“ Tasty sandwich. Had the beef and the turkey. Tasty and hearty sandwiches. Friendly suggestion, have a panini grill option would be great. Overall great food and great service. ”
