Toasties
“Yeah, I wish they threw in chips or something, but the Chelsea-boy eye candy at their 7th Ave location is worth a visit!”
“My "boyfriends" turned me onto this place – they love it for the outdoor seating/boy watching and I love it because I am a sandwich whore.”
“The Segundo, the E-Z, the Sophie Blue, the house combo, the Cordon bleu, and the Thanksgiving are all excellent sandwiches.”

Simple Korean Deli but wish they have more Korean items but they have Bibimbap, very generous priced and portion.
I walked in just because there was a sign "Korean Bibimbap". I passed by many times but never thought it was Korean deli. The location is very easy to find, out side from #1 train at 23rd Street Station.
My Bibimbap was made-to-order (not authentic but asked how I want my egg to be cooked!). I opted for Sunnyside up. My order was assembled from pre-cut veggies in the glass case by a comfy-vibe Spanish man. If you want it as Vegetarian? Ask not to add ground beef and egg but ask for more veggies. One mistake I made, it was that all the veggies, beef and egg were separated from the rice, usually it's over rice so I asked to make it that way, thinking that rice is room temperature but it was warm, you know warm food with plastic – posing dangers to health: bisphenol A (BPA). I should just follow what they do, rice in a separate container…
Several condiments, not-so-garlicky gochujang (chili pepper paste), sesame oil (I only picked one but this Bibimbap was much better adding more oil that was small containers on the glass case. I took two chili pepper paste since it was small but one was enough for this big Bibimbap. Another container has a Korean crunchy-crumble dried seaweed with sesame oil gave an extra flavor and this seaweed is one of my favorites from Korean goodies, love it on a hot fluffy white rice.
Since there aren't many Korean restaurant in this area (except a bit of walk up till 28th St, HIT Korean Food & Deli but that's it!), this location Toasties, satisfies my Korean craving. Oh! I almost forgot to mention my Bibimbap was only $7.95.
I love this place!!!! I used to come here years ago when I worked in the area, and nothing has changed? Nothing…not even some of the staff, Smoked Jack, House Combo and the Thanks Giving Special are just a few of some of the best hero's you're going to find in NYC,.
Lunch time and I pass by toasties which my co-workers frequent. Figured I'd give it a try. Basically its a higher tier Quiznos. They toast their heroes and have a wide selection of wrap, roll, or hero sandwiches. Nothing great but also nothing bad. Plain old sandwiches that fit the bill for a regular work day.
Nice variety of combo sandwiches but flavors or creativity don't stand out. I usually go for the California hero (toasted, grilled chicken, avocado, roasted peppers and russian dressing)
It's kind of a hole in the wall storefront and does come off kinda dirty but I havn't had any issues with the food. A nice work take out lunch but a bit pricey for simple sandwiches.
Walking into the place you won't expect much, but it will give you exactly what you need in the morning when you are on on-the-go.
The lines are never too long, the egg, veggie, cheese on a roll is delicious and it was only $3.00, and you'll be in and out in 5 minutes.
There isn't much more to say, sometimes simple needs are met by simple places and I am simply satisfied.
I might even give it 5 stars if it didn't have a $7 credit card minimum and I needed to ask for a key for the bathroom.
Totally disappointed by this. I hear the midtown location makes one of the best chicken parm heros so I got really excited when I learned they have a Toasties just a few blocks away from me in Chelsea.
#1 – $9 is a LOT for a sandwich. At least, it is a lot when I could've gotten the same quality sandwich from Subway's for only $5 and Subway's sandwich would've been longer.
#2 – They burnt my bread and I still have the carcinogen aftertaste in my mouth 3 hours later.
I know they may not burn everyone's bread and I do find it unfortunate that they burned mine, especially because I was really looking forward to it, but there are so many other options in this neighborhood who won't burn my food & charge me much less.
So I come from down south, in the mythical land of Wawa, and my standards for a casual sandwich place are incredibly high. I want my sandwiches to be big, delicious, fast, and cheap, and yes, I obviously don't get that last part too much anymore in the city. Walking past the dingy, depressing exterior of Toasties I didn't expect much, but I wanted a sandwich one morning and walked in. You know that saying, "don't judge a sandwich shop by its book cover?" Now I have first hand experience with what that means.
It was like a scene in a movie. Once I walked through the door I was treated to a gleaming interior with a few big, clean preparation sections and a full menu of good looking sandwiches. My first move in a sandwich shop is usually to get the Italian, so I did that and it was above satisfactory, so good work by them. It was big, with good bread and meats, and the condiments were nice and tasty. The coffee was pretty good too. All in all, yet another place in Chelsea that I'll describe as "pleasantly surprising".
Lunch in hopes for some toasties. Without any knowledge of the name being a high-end Korean deli where Bibimbap is available in a casual environment outside a sit-down restaurant setting, yet, I opt for tossed salad. At $6.00 for a small tossed Mesclun salad without my favorite blue cheese or Vidalia onion was not the same flavor. Okay. Price is reasonable.
No takeout menu exist as neither business cards, with only my sales receipt as a reference to write this review. Seating is available.
I used to come here all the time for sandwiches when I worked in the area. My favorite was the philly sandwich. I returned here after a long hiatus, and the philly tasted almost as good as I remembered. Since eating the sandwiches at D&S in midtown, I like the philly there just a bit more. Regardless, I still remember this place fondly. I enjoy the hazelnut coffee, and also I like their selection of drinks available in the frig. My friend told me that the breakfast here is a great deal, plenty of good food for $3. I'll need to try that some day.
