27 Best Delis in Los Angeles

“OMG! These are the best tacos I’ve had. I had a taco de carnitas with cilantro, onion and green salsa. They had other topping like nopales, guacamole, and three different salsas. The meat was flavorful and the corn tortillas were made from scratch. I am from the Bay Area visiting family- I will definitely return and tell my family back home.“

“Amazing pastrami and wonderful service. Had #54 in 19 style (corned beef/pastrami on rye with Russian dressing, Swiss and coleslaw) and it was excellent. Admittedly, I will try a plain pastrami sandwich with a little mayo and mustard next time and I think I will like that even more. Portions are huge and you could probably split a sandwich, small fries with another and be pretty happy with it.Service is very nice and the interior is pleasantly old fashioned. Looking forward to trying desserts next time.“

“Easy to miss, though from the reviews, it seems like few actually pass it by.On lunch break from rehearsal nearby, I had the feta, tomato, and basil toasted sandwich, which was perfect. Outdoor seating was quite welcome, as it's kinda warm and stuffy inside the store.“

“Meals and memories are made here at Bianca’s deli. Bianca’s deli (est 1983) is a small Mediterranean deli cafe in East Hollywood. They serve fresh, healthy salads, wraps, sandwiches, panini and pasta. Furthermore, they offer good breakfast and coffee. They provide exceptional service and food. I came here over Lunch and ordered a Grilled chicken salad and a Pasta Primavera. Food was fresh and satisfying; portions were abundant for their modest price. Staff were assiduous, caring and professional.Overall, I enjoyed their service and food. I highly recommend this deli.“

“This place stays busy around lunchtime. So I suggest placing your order by phone if you don't like to stand in line. The cashiers are friendly and take orders fast. The place is neat and very clean. They have a huge variety of drinks, chips and dessert. The prices are along oar with every other deli. They have a nice variety of sandwiches. If you want a salad they make them fresh. They have a wide variety of bread and ingredients you can add to your sandwich. They also have hamburgers, turkey burgers and fries. You can order your sandwich hot or cold. The food tastes really good.“

“This place is awesome! I've ordered for my office a number of times and they're always fast and their website is easy to navigate. All the food is tasty. They really know how to make a good sub!Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegetarian options!“

“I ordered the Jeff’s table for pickup. It was warm and delicious. The flavors were there, the portion is big. It was a little greasy for me but I still couldn’t stop eating! The sandwich left me full the whole day! My husband ordered the Neela. He described it as interesting - an explosion of flavors. If you like a milder taste in sandwiches then this is not the sandwich for you. We would go back, I would probably order the Jeff’s special again but my husband would try the other veggie option they have.“

“Omg so delicious... I've tried : American breakfast Meatball sandwich Chicken parmesan Veal parmesan And most recently TRI TIP PANINI Which literally made me stop half way to write this review because it's one of the most delicious tri trip sandwiches/paninis I've ever tasted.. hand down my new favorite. The place has a welcoming feeling. Like if they've known you forever (must be thag Italian love. Definitely taste it in the food) ... highly reccomend! Next time I'll order 2.“

“Philippe’s Original is one of those rare gems that are few and far between these days. This is a restaurant that stands on generations of good family management, and service to the Los Angeles community. It is an experience not to be missed. But besides the wonderful beef, pork, and lamb dip sandwiches (all of which I highly recommend, and have already been extensively reviewed), Philippe’s has some other great menu items as well. For example: their beef stew, chili, and soups of the day are excellent, and a great alternative to sandwiches on cold and rainy days. I’m also a big fan of their tuna sandwich and chicken Caesar salad, and I never pass on some sliced pickles and beets. I even like Philippes as a place to just meet friends for coffee and dessert. They always have a big selection of fresh pies; the banana cream is my favorite. Highly recommend If you're looking to use the services of a professional cyber security consultant, I would recommend McRae investigations firm mcraespy at outlook dot com for professional investigative services like acquiring information for divorce or court cases, kids phone tracking and monitoring, pet surveillance, retrieve lost or stolen digital assets, data, track & monitor a vehicle and loads more.“

“Tucked away on the western side of Vine Street, just below Fountain Ave, resides The Vine Street Deli. With dozens of choices between entrée, sandwiches, coffees, teas, smoothies, and more, I decided to go for a goat cheese and chicken sandwich and an eggplant dip as starter. Both of them were phenomenal dishes. I ate and cleaned and scraped the bottom of the plates to savor those rich flavors one more time. Not only was my hunger more than satiated, but I was left satisfied, and elated of the foods I just consumed. The lady working, which I assume was the owner of the place, was kind and welcoming. The warm lights, wooden staircase, loft, and furniture, give the place a relaxing, charming, and quite atmosphere. This was my first time there, but it surely won't be the last.“

“Delicious sandwiches and AAAAHHHMAZINGGG hot wings. We got some garlic knots and from eating those I have no doubt their pizza will be amazing as well. We order from here through the delivery apps and hope to visit one of their two locations some day soon. I'll update my review then. Cheers!“

“I nice stop over on your travels! I specifically came because I saw that they had coffee cakes that resembled high school coffee cakes, And it didn't disappoint. Great variety of food menu items. I had the croissant ham sandwich, and my wife had the avocado toast. Have plenty of snacks and drinks to choose from, Definitely coming back for the coffee cakes!“

“Tasty Banh Mis. I always get the sardine along with either the pork or chicken. All made fresh to order. They include a small au jus of the specific Banh Mi you order-nice touch. ? Parking is a challenge since it right on Hyperion so if you see a spot, take it.“

“We made a quick trip to LA and someone suggested Fat Sal’s Deli for lunch. Oh. My. GADS! It was so good! The servers and the cooks were so amazing, friendly and engaging. We had a great time and I definitely recommend this great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner!“

“I came here today with minimal expectations, just aiming for a sandwich, but ended up leaving with not only the sandwich but also a fruit, yogurt, and granola bowl. It exceeded my expectations - the ham and Swiss sandwich was exceptionally well-made, and the bowl was great. The man who took my order was so polite and patient with me. I'll definitely be returning!“

“There aren't many sub shops/deli's in LA. As someone from NJ, I've missed having local sub/sandwich shops all around me. Found this place today, and it's my new favorite local sub shop. The owners are very friendly, the food is authentic and well priced, and the service is quick. I will definitely be coming back to try the salads. If you're in the area and looking for an East Coast style sub, please support these lovely people!“

“The best affordable sandwiches you'll ever find. Nice hidden gem in the community that provides really great quality in their sandwiches. I recommend #2 and #3. The portions are very decent for the price one sandwich can be split for 2ppl. Staff is always attentive and polite.“

“I wandered by abnd was quickly greeted by server. She asked what i would like before I was seated... I went with the lule plate and a drink. I was served rather quick. I was rewarded with a fragrant plate. The server warned me the hot sauce is spicy. Of course this the first thing I tried haha. She was not lying it had a good kick to it. The meat was juicy flavorful, and bit pink? I was ok with that. The bread was delicious. The only thing I was disapointed was the plastic cutlery. 1/3 into the meal poink! the fork break cutting the lule. Luckily there was enough of the handle to continue. I finished up and paid inside and left a happy camper.“

“Wonderful. Very hospitable. Excellent food, great service, great atmosphere. We were 2 couples wanting a light lunch. Each couple split their plate and the server was very accommodating. Everyone there was very nice. We can highly recommend and we will be returning soon.“

“Tony's has been a top sandwich spot for me. I don't usually eat sandwiches, but when I do, this place is the best. My top favorite sandwich is the pastrami with avocado. The Mexican tuna sandwich is excellent also. You can't go wrong with a sandwich from Tony's. The area is okay. There's plenty of parking in the back lot and street parking.“

“The spot has a line but it moves quickly. Staff is nice and fast moving. Food-wise, it is good for its price point and I think the day old bagels on sale are still pretty good. For the lox, I would say it's decent. I feel that the red onions are a little overpowering and there's a lot of bagel for not a lot of filling.“

“I chose this out of the many that are down Pico because of the ratings. Also it was Yom Kippur so a few of them were closed for the holiday. Carvery had sandwiches but more importantly the french dip feature that I was interested in trying. While I stuck with the corn beef brisket, my girlfriend had a turkey wrap, and the two of us shared chips together. Its a small place but the guys working there bring everything out to you. I would go back and try something else again in the future.“

“Grade A (95): St Vincent Deli, is my favorite restaurant in the alley. I can't believe how much food comes out of this tiny little restaurant. They have Shawerma (gyros style) but tastes amazing. They have fresh home made food as a feature every day. I specially love Thursdays (Kufteh) which is ground beef kebab in small finger like shape in tomato sauce and fries (delicious). The alley is an Historic and cozy Alley with hidden gems as restaurants.“

“Canter’s Deli is an LA classic and a must visit for anyone who loves that old school deli feel. All the staples are on the menu and the old timey look of the inside rounds out the experience. Food is very solid if not a bit overpriced. Bakery is by weight for a lot of items so expect to pay more than you think. Parking is free in the lot next to the building if you are eating. Service isn’t the best on most of our visits, but the people watching makes up for it!“

“So I finally found this place that was recommended to me. I got a breakfast burrito and it was delicious. The flavors were amazing and staff and service was quick. When i got there it was a handful of ppl but the most I waited was like 10 mins so it wasn't bad. It's a cool lil spot and I will most definitely become a regular when am in the area. Thank you guys and see you again soon..“

“I was working up the street on a film and decided to have a nice, fat corned beef instead of our catered lunch. I'm glad I did! I had it delivered and me and a coworker were treated to a delicious corned beef on rye with delicious coleslaw and potato salad. The person on the phone was friendly and informative since I had never eaten at this highly recommended deli before. Since I ordered delivery I can't comment on the condition or decor of the restaurant itself.“

“We were looking for a lunch spot and originally was going to try Salt N Pepper, but it didn't look that appealing so we came here. The place was cute and had the most patrons. They had a chicken special that day (Tuesday) and the guy convinced me to get it. I ordered a side of fries - total ended up being $20, which was okay. My coworker got the feta wrap. The fries came out first - they were crispy but didn't have a lot of salt. My wrap was flavorful - the chicken was delicious and all the fixings were great. They also had picked radishes and other picked stuff you could add. My coworker loved her feta wrap - said the lavash was excellent. Service was friendly and we enjoyed our meal. Will definitely come back!“
