Great sandwiches, love the Chinese food options like the beef noodle soup, and the owners are incredibly sweet.

I genuinely recommend the First Sandwich. We ordered from here multiple times, and they never disappointed us. The food is fresh and tastes amazing. I love the avocado walnut salad; it’s very refreshing. The sandwich is flavorful. The clam chowder bowl is creamy and well balanced. They gave us so much food with reasonable price. The owner is always so kind and attentive. Highly recommend!

Great little sandwich place in this food court. I love their bread, the pastrami is great. Very friendly people!

Authentic taiwanese food that you would not expect in this food court! Best Taiwanese pickled veges you can get around here.

I was underwhelmed by the location and overwhelmed the sandwich I ordered. The Asian style sandwich is absolutely delicious.

Food is incredible and owner very nice. Love this place!

I had the Pastrami Sandwich and it was one of the best I've had. Their service was also fantastic. I'll be coming back here again!

This has now become my favorite sandwich place. The lady is always getting us with a smile, and even mesmerized which items I usually order. Service is always quick and the food is great!

Thought it only had sub sandwiches. Got their beef noodle soup. Very good. Owners are Taiwanese. Very friendly.

Excellent food and reasonable price with a huge portion. Interesting enough, has Taiwanese dishes and not only sandwich!

In a food plaza with plenty of seats, offers not only sandwiches, but also chicken walnut avocado salad, beef noodle soup, curry chicken rice, cool noodle and fried rice dishes.

They're a small eatery but don't be fooled. They make delicious sandwiches as well as Thai food.

The sandwiches here are huge and awesome. Check out the Magic Mountain sandwich. Favorite item in the Beef & Noodle soup.

Hidden gem alert! Taiwanese noodle soups are also on the menu at this eatery inside the Main St Plaza food court.

First Sandwich is the underdog that I am rooting for. It is the one that is the most unique dining experience in "cookie cutter" Irvine. I think there are plenty of great options in Irvine but let the outsiders make fun of it. Haters gonna hate. Where else can you get Taiwanese food in an American sandwich shop? Only at first sandwich. This place is located in my favorite lunch time spot the Main Street food court. Don't bother going to The District unless you like crazy drivers and construction. The Diamond Jamboree area is okay but only a few restaurant stand out but not all of them are lunch time friendly. I can say that most of the Main Food court is good expect for Main Street pizza that place is nasty only cater that place for lunch if you want to punish your employees. Why does First Sandwich impress me? I get some Taiwanese food and boba without a long wait or wasting my lunch break going to Class 302. Large portions and a great price. I enjoyed the philly sandwich and the turkey avocado was okay. I'm mainly here for the spicy beef noodle soup and the non menu items. Yes the ones written in Chinese and has pictures. Don't worry you can always ask questions if you are unsure what to eat. The lady that works there is very friendly and says hi to everyone that comes by. I would say it difficult to say no with such great hospitality. She also works hard and tries to take your order fast and provide good service. You can also refill your drinks. You get the feeling that mom is taking care of you. The reason why this place steals my heart. I use to eat at California Teriyaki and Thai and Chinese the most but I felt my food was mass produced. At Thai and Chinese I always wonder how they can cook multi orders in less than 10 minutes maybe its pre made or cook in one large batch. I also everything is fried and the Chinese food I heard is very bad. This is sad that the Thai food is better here because the owners are Chinese. I wanted something new and First Sandwich paid off. I need to warn you that this place will not impress any foodies but it will give you options for those days when you don't have much time for lunch and you need something quick and tasty. I would say the food is okay to most people but for me the great service and unique menu is good for me. You will have plenty to eat because they don't skip the way food trucks do.

Sandwiches a really good. This is a great place to get a quick bite for lunch. They also have some tie options which are actually really good. Also don't sleep on the coffee boba as it's delicious. I might go to here is the turkey club and the tai noodles

Had a tuna sandwich at this place. Ate half of the sandwich and noticed black hair clippings all over the second half. Who knows how much hair I already ate. It looked like someone got a haircut and didn't clean up after themselves. I wish I could have taken a picture, I was too grossed out. Disappointed because the sandwich was tasty.
