Juno’s Kitchen & Delicatessen

What happened to their pastrami sandwich? Ordered today and it came with two times less pastrami than all the previous times…

Been wanting to try Juno’s for awhile; my lunch partner and I arrived and found a notice on the door stating, we are closed today… sorry for any inconvenience.
No explanation provided, just freaking closed!

Great place in East Sac for a quality lunch or dinner. I usually get the eggplant, burger, or chicken sando and always walk away super satisfied. The service is always very friendly and the food quality is top notch.

This place is amazing and fresh! Small and very attentive in their service! My go to is the arugula and beets salad with chicken!
My friends like the banh mi and the turkey sandwich.
The vegan sand which smells amazing with that truffle oil! So will probably try that next!

very tasty, friendly staff. Prices are pretty expensive.

Delicious! We had a kale Caesar, French onion soup and the Bahn Mi. All were very good –especially the kale salad. There were three of us adults and a baby in a stroller. All the tables inside were taken except a two top so they invited us to eat in the back room which has a large farmhouse table. We thought that was nice of them to do since they could have asked us to eat outside. Great lunch spot and reasonable prices for the quality!

Let me get one thing straight: I don’t do sandwiches. I’m just not a fan. Unlike pasta dishes, I’ve never eaten a sandwich that was absolutely to die for, so I can assure you if there’s sandwiches on the menu, I skip over it. Get the point? I just don’t do sandwiches.
BUT let me also tell you: This place is to die for. It is to die for, then come back to life, and die for again. I came here with my foster dog and human friend. When we first arrived, I was disappointed by the lack of dog-​friendliness that the other reviews raved about. There was no dog bed — it was just a small area of outdoor seating on the sidewalk. No big deal though, we made ourselves cozy at one of the tables and brought our own dog bed and food bowl. ***Since it is along a somewhat busy street, I wouldn’t suggest bringing your pooch if s/​he is uncomfortable with loud noises.***
Our waitress was the sweetest lady ever and made sure our food was perfect and we were completely happy. She even talked to my foster dog and offered him some treats!
I ordered the Panko Eggplant sandwich. It was simple, but super yummy! I ordered the side of potatoes, which were nicely seasoned. It even had a couple of surprise sweet potatoes which made the meal all the more delishhhh! My human pal ordered the Sandwich Special (I’m not sure if it changes, but this one had grilled pork, salami, cheese, arugula, sirarcha, and aoli). He said it was the best sandwich he’s ever had — and this human is a snobby sandwich fiend!
Best believe we will be back!

Holy moly their sandwiches are delish!!! The pesto turkey or pesto salmon is amazing! Side salads are equally delish! They use fresh crusty bread, that tastes amazing. If your mouth is a little sensitive to crunchy bread, ask them not to toast! Definitely one of my favorite sandwich spots in sac!

My rating for Juno’s fell precipitously after my last visit to this establishment.
I was previously a frequent flyer to Juno’s for their stellar artisan sandwiches that I felt were pretty much unparalleled in the Sacramento area. Banh mi’s with a modern twist, special sandwiches that oozed with their delicious aoili and crispy sandwich bread and fresh meats and veggies — I salivate as I recount this.
However, I started doubting how seriously these folks take their clients’ patronage. I admit I’m a little particular about my food, and sometimes requested that they hold the aoili, or avoid charring the meats and/​or potatoes. But I never felt like these requests were ever taken seriously, and never saw these modifications. Juno’s has fresh and superficially healthy sandwiches (their breads are made daily, and their sandwiches and entrees have minimal grease and unhealthy fats of course besides their aoili). However, these were three distinct ways I felt like the health factor of the sandwiches were becoming compromised, and that I as a customer was not being heard.
What finally did me me in on not wanting to visit Juno’s all that often anymore was when I found a piece of hair in my sandwich. It was the last straw. Why? Because I distinctly remember reading several Unilocal reviews prior to my own, complaining of the same thing (finding unsanitary products in their food i.e., hair), and the very ungracious ways in which the Juno’s staff responded. I was so disappointed with how they responded to that Unilocal patron, I had little faith I would receive a productive response. So, I sadly had to alter my own dining habits by visiting Juno’s less and less.
All in all, the Unilocalocracy is powerful. I value my fellow Unilocalers opinions and experiences, and am paying it forward with my own. Juno’s, you were great to me for some time in the past; but, in your industry, customer service and attention to patron happiness are key. Don’t doubt how powerful your customer’s collective experience can be!

Went here for lunch and was so happy with the food! I did the Trout sandwich, it was fun & different, I would recommend asking for light on the aioli as they add more than I think most would prefer. Also their tomato soup was homemade goodness & they make their own bread, so good! My friend got the special which was an Italian blend sandwich, really good too. We’re coming back, they have a simple menu but everything they offer looks really great.

Went here with some friends that said the food was good… Our friend where wrong … The food was AMAZING! Best lobster Mac and cheese I have ever had! We will for sure be going back!

Apparently, you are not allowed to tell the chef that he burnt my brioche bun. I can overhear him shouting «are you kidding me?» «That is horseshit!» Absolutely disgusted by the behavior of their staff here. I cancelled my burger.
The chef apologized but heres the thing: it wasn’t good enough after that outburst. And the truth is, the burger sucked. The meat was dry and the bun was burnt. I brought my friend he said his burgers bun was burnt and his meat wasnt totally cooked and very dry. I have been here twice before. I had a chicken banh mi sandwich with this aloi sauce that was very overwhelming.
The burger i tried before was much better. A much better bun and was cooked right but this cook today was terrible and absolutely obnoxious. One other customer walked out after hearing this cook’s outburst and my friend and I definitely will not be coming here again.

I adore this place. I’ve never had an unpleasant experience here. The menu is simple and unique and made with the freshest ingredients, and I’ve never asked but im sure the bread is baked on site because how else is it so perfect and delicious?
I crave the smoked trout sandwich DAILY. I wish I could branch out and experience more of the menu but I just cant! Its an absolute must try.
They also have the friendliest staff, in particular one woman who always has the cutest dresses. Its obvious this is the kind of place that has many repeat customers. Its also very dog friendly and even has a little photo collage dedicated to their customers k9 companions.
I’ll keep coming back! :)

I wish this place stayed open later during the week. I had the chicken sandwich and the bread was perfect. The ingredients were fresh. The service was great.

Blown away! All the recommendations were spot on. The most European and delicious delicatessen sandwich shop I have had in California. I had: Smoked Trout Sandwich with Apples, wild arugula, Manchego cheese & aioli for $ 10.75. Ready to go back again today if I wasn’t attempting to loose a bit of weight…
Highly highly recommended!
Tips:
Try something you would not «ususally» order!
Check to make sure they are open!

My latest addiction is their pappardelle pasta, sautéed with shrimp, garlic, anchovy,
caramelized onions and crushed red chili. I thought they had nothing to offer beyond sandwiches. Boy was I wrong. This rich, heavenly medley leaves me with the stankiest breath, but it’s more than worth potentially offending anyone within close proximity.
Firstly, I should mention that I LOVE garlic. I’m the guy at the baseball game who wants his garlic fries buried in piles of the stuff, to the point where the fries disappear long before the garlic does. I add a clove or two to any meal when I have the opportunity. If you share my passion for this pungent garnish, you’ll share my passion for the pappardelle. It’s swimming in a garlic and caramelized onion sauce and packed full of plump shrimp.
If it’s not obvious, this isn’t good for you either. My cholesterol level goes up just thinking about it. The side of bread doesn’t help either because it assures you can sop up every last bit of the sauce after the hearty stuff disappears.
Take my word for it. Juno’s has a menu that has yet to let me down. Add their pasta crations to a long list of personal reccomendations.

A great local spot! Great service– the lady knew most of the customers by name and was very welcoming!
The shrimp Mac and cheese was incredible. Rich, cheesy, and included bread crumbs– all things a good Mac and cheese should be! Very rich and filling but even better for lunch leftovers the next day.
A definite must for your lunch break– also has delicious sandwiches served with roasted potatoes.

Very cozy mom and pop place. Me and my sister sat outside and the waitress was very sweet. We ordered the banh mi ($ 10) and the seafood Mac and cheese ($ 15). The banh mi was very good! Basically an Americanized banh Mi. Lol. I’m used to paying $ 2.50 for vietnamese sandwiches so I wasn’t so happy with the price, but one you go «American» it’s more pricey. I have to admit though it was very tasty. My favorite dish was the seafood Mac and cheese. Huge portion with a good amount of shrimp. Creamy and cheesy. Just how I like it. Definitely a place to try. I would come back again to try everything else on the menu!

Came here for lunch on a Friday. The inside is so tiny and it was smokey because someone had burned the toast. We ran outside coughing. They had one very nice woman tending to the 4 tables outside.
Overall, the food was great! Very fresh and tasty. I had the kale salad with a side of chicken. The salad was so big I just couldn’t finish it. My friend had the pastrami sandwich with a side of greens and loved it. Our total was $ 25 w/​out tip. We have nothing but good things to say about the food.
The café is very tiny. Just 4 tables inside and 4 outside. The street is very noisy and it has tons of traffic. It’s best if you just pick up food.

UPDATE: they told my friend that she needs to go if she doesn’t leave tips!!!
They have the best tasting food EVER! But their customer service is HORRIBLE!!! Like the rudest people EVER!!! Next time I’ll order to go so I don’t have to deal with it!
Oh nvm this time they burned my food!
