Tucked away in a strip mall, Four Kings is a popular Universal City lunch spot serving artisanal sandwiches, made-from-scratch soups, salads that make use of local produce, and an array of tempting desserts.

Sandwiches are said to be the real star of the show here, served on freshly baked bread and piled high with quality ingredients. There are around six sandwich varieties to choose from at any given time, but regulars will likely recommend you order the roasted turkey sandwich. This crowd-pleaser pairs savory sliced turkey with the crunch of fresh spinach and the unexpected bite of chipotle mayo. Those looking for something a little out of the ordinary are advised to request the banh mi, a traditional Vietnamese sandwich that offsets bites of marinated pork with fiery jalapeno peppers. Whatever you do, be sure to save room for something sweet. Four Kings's brownies, blondies, cookies, and bread pudding are sinfully good.

Four Kings is open 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. While you'll find a handful of tables for dining in, most of Four King's regular patrons choose to get their order to-go.
