Reviews for J28 Sandwich Bar in Hollywood, FL
Disappointing?.. we chose this place based on the Google reviews. We flew to Miami to visit family and get away from the... Midwest for a few days. I hope that management can prevent this situation from happening again. I think this place has somethinggood going. Based on the reviews, looks like we had an out of the ordinary experience, our only experience at this restaurantnevertheless. Food was okay. Small portions. Food super overpriced. Place lacks customer service. We were served extra food onaccident. The gentleman there, not sure if he was the owner or manager came to our table to tell us that the cashier lady gaveus an extra salad. He stood there awkwardly and finally said, ?enjoy your free salad.? Let?s rewind a few minutes here. When weordered it was unclear what we ordered. Apparently there are three variations to most dishes. When we ordered we weren?t givenan option as we didn?t know how the menu worked. The lady kept nodding, not saying much. It would have been nice if she wouldhave said something like, ?Would you like that as a sandwich or served with rice and ?? that way we knew our options. We askedher to repeat the order. It seemed accurate. The communication from the cashier should have been better. It was more thanobvious that we hadn?t been there before. When the same lady who took our order served it to us, I commented to my wife, ?Oh, Iguess you (my wife) ordered two salads. I guess I?ll eat this one.? All along the lady didn?t say anything. She left back to thecashier area, away from our table. Fast forward two or so minutes?. Now there?s a man at our table showing his disapproval ofour free salad. First of all, we didn?t want a free salad. We wanted the food that we ordered. It was unclear how the erroroccurred. If he was unhappy with giving away lettuce, he should take it up with his employee who was probably not properlytrained. I struggle to give this place satisfactory marks due to the man?s lack of self awareness or dis Read more
Great Peruvian sandwich place with small dine in area, but the food was very delicious and was served very very fast. We had... the lomo saltado with rice and beans and lomo saltado sandwich. Read more
I love Peruvian food but I had never tried a Peruvian sandwich! Amazing! I had the Butifarra and it was so good, the bun was... fresh, lettuce crispy, pork tender and sliced thin, just sandwich perfection! The service was quick and friendly. Highlyrecommend if you're in the mood for a sub but want to try something different, we loved it! Read more
J28?s food is delicious! My wife and I both agree that this is one of our favorite restaurants in downtown Hollywood,... Florida. Empanadas (beef & ají de gallina) with fire sauce. Ají de gallina bread bowl with potatoes on the side. LomoSaltado over rice and beans. Excellent Peruvian food! Read more
Due to Covid transactions are done through a plastic sheath but beyond that I give J28 five stars. I ordered the pork sandwich... and found it to be unique in a good way. First, I thought the bread which is this plump bun would overpower the sandwich butit acted like ?air bread? and worked really well with the sandwich. It was also very fresh. The sandwich had a combination ofpork, onions, and sweet potato which came together as a flavor bomb. I was totally sold on my unique sandwich and would return. Read more
This was our #100 TripleD stop...despite Covid trying to mess things up we stopped by for some "ToGo" items! The Beef Empanadas... were FANTASTIC! Tender snd Flaky crust loaded with spicy (but not too spicy unless you add the secret sauce as Idid...whew!)... We ordered a Lomo Saltado/Beef Wok Stir Fry and a Mushroom Saltada Wok Stir Fry and they were AMAZING...a greatcombination of flavors....you know we'll be back for a dine in when we get the chance!! Thanks guys...hopefully we'll be pastthis whole Covid deal soon and you csn get back to business as usual!!! Read more
Just visiting Florida for a week, was more than impressed with this little peruvian sandwich shop! Coming in, the menu clearly... explains the menu items (some denote the peruvian name and also note the english name, the entirely of the dish is listed, nosurprises!) is clean and easily readable. Smaller sized menu, usually denotes the items they do make are all specialities and itshows. I tried the lomo saltado with rice and beans, and had a sampling of all 5 of their sauces as well. I'm not one forlengthy descriptions, the bowl was just well seasoned and tasty. Well cooked beef, more than enough rice and beans. Of the fivesauces, the amarillo mixed with a little fire sauce was the best, though was also my favorite on its own. The green mint I couldsee being a favorite of many others. The owner? was very attentive to service, made friendly chit chat and made sure we weresatisfied. My fiancee is already begging for us to make time for one more trip back before we fly home, and I'm thinking that'sa good idea. Fantastic! Read more
One of the best tasting sandwiches I've had in this area. I had the pork and the sweet potato sandwich and it was really special... - the pork was perfectly cooked, juicy, and very flavorful and it complimented the sweet potato perfectly. Overall highlyrecommend! Read more
