It’s not every day that we take two of SoCal’s favorite dishes and put them head-to-head. But we’ll make an exception for UberEATS #FirstFridays – our monthly celebration of SoCal’s tastiest restaurants on UberEATS, featuring irresistible deals. To kick off August, we’re having a foodie throwdown to answer the unthinkable question: which is more popular: poke or sandwiches?

To settle the score, we’re offering exclusive $5 poke and $5 sandwiches from select LA and Orange County restaurants on UberEATS. To vote, order your favorite cuisine. Even better, enjoy $2.99 discounted delivery on those participating #FirstFridays restaurants!

How to score your discounted poke and sandwiches*:

  1. Tap into the UberEATS app on Friday, August 4th
  2. Search “FirstFridays” to find a participating restaurant
  3. Select the special $5 item in the #FirstFridays menu
  4. Watch as your burger is delivered at Uber speed

 

All this competition is bound to work up an appetite! To help you out, we’ve rounded up some of our #FirstFridays picks. Whether you’re a fan of feel-good poke, or all thinks nestled between two slices of bread, we have you covered.

Sweetfin Bay Cities

Sorry sandwiches, but poke bowls aren’t going anywhere soon, with Sweetfin serving up some of the best in the city. Offering a whole range of fresh fish and house-made sauces, they are also known for their taro chips and infused coconut water. Did we mention they have 21 additional toppings for your poke bowl? See you there. A Santa Monica staple, Bay Cities has been popular ever since it opened in 1925. Order the iconic Godmother sandwich, filled with genoa salami, mortadella coppacola, ham, prosciutto, and provolone, plus the works. It’s been voted as one of the best sandwiches in the city (and we can confirm, it lives up to its title).
The Poke Shack Langer’s

If you’re a poke lover, cast your vote when you order from The Poke Shack. The poke bowls here are all BYOB – that’s “build your own bowl” for all you rookies out there. So get creative and make delicious combos like cucumber, white onion, green onion, sesame seeds and sesame oil. Serving generations of hungry patrons for more than 70 years, it’s no surprise that Langer’s is considered a Downtown deli legend. The #19 sandwich is a must: nearly half-pound of juicy, tender pastrami is hand cut and piled high on rye bread so perfect it would satisfy just about any taste bud.
FINS Poke Fusion South Philly Experience
FINS SOUTH_PHILLY
Hooked on poke? Then FINS Poke Fusion is the perfect spot for you! Between their signature family-secret sauces, fresh seafood, and the option to build your own bowl of deliciousness, this eatery is a catch! Replicating the street food flavors of the region that bears its name, South Philly Experience serves up fresh sandwiches and wings, most notably traditional cheesesteaks. Vegetarians fear not, there’s a veggie sandwich stuffed with broccoli rabe, mushrooms, and sweet peppers, calling your name.
