Looks like the “fastest growing restaurant chain in the U.S. and Canada,” Dallas based Which Wich is expanding into Orange County in a big way. It just opened a location at The Market Place in Tustin and will be opening two more soon on E. 17th Street in Costa Mesa and in Aliso Viejo. You can already find Which Wich sandwich shops in Brea, Orange, Santa Ana, Fullerton and two locations in Irvine.
The restaurant is all about creating great sandwiches (more than 50 varieties) with a quick and easy ordering system. Grab a red Sharpie and mark up what you want on the sandwich bags. Select a sandwich from one of 10 categories, then choose the type of bread, size, cheese, spreads, and vegetables.
The signature Wicked comes loaded with five meats and three cheeses, and it also offers themed sandwiches like Italian, vegetarian, classics, comforts and more. There are even several healthy wiches for less than 400 calories each. Try the extras, too like signature house chips, hand-dipped shakes, and fresh from the oven cookies.
Open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The newest Which Wich is at The Market Place at 2941 El Camino Real in Tustin. 714.731.9424.
