Best Jewish deli around kind of far from Marina but it's really good Honestly, everything I've eaten there is absolutely fantastic. Just excellent the food is just nonstop. Perfect.

Famous deli my ass! This is a wanna-be deli. A friend recommended this place and evidently she has no idea what she's talking about. I'm put off and angry with this restaurant(?). First of all I don't no why they don't update menu prices on Yelp. Pastrami sandwich was as greasy and fatty as they come. Not really sliced just one long saltier than shit piece of meat folded over and over. Brisket sandwich was sliced oddly and seemed old. Hardly anything in the deli case. Looked like a going out of business sale. Fries had more salt than the Salton Sea. The owner and his employee seem to hide behind the counter. I don't have a problem spending money on GOOD food which this is not. Another customer ordered breakfast there and left most of it on his plate and left. I should go with my hunches when I see no one in the place. This place is a joke!

The place is simple set up of a Deli, the soups are excellent, love their potato knish, great sandwiches, my favorite is the pastrami, and their service is good.

Read the reviews and glad we went there. Very impressed with everything about this quiet gem. The food was delicious! We enjoyed our turkey Rueben with crisp, fresh fries, cheese blintzes, matzo ball soup. Coming back soon for the recommended tuna sandwich, white fish spread, and/or lox bagel. Their place is modest but clean and comfortable, with kindly, efficient service.

Matzo ball soup is absolutely delicious. Ordered delivery so can't really rate service but the food arrived quickly.

A great place to sit outside on a Sunday. I'm a fan of the cobb salad and always plenty to eat. Everyone who works there are incredibly nice and accommodating.

A simple old school deli in an old strip mall. Nothing to look at, inside or out. But they have a large menu with everything a deli should have. My pastrami sandwich was good size with plenty of pastrami. The rye (supposedly twice baked) was sub par. The crust wasn't crisp and the bread was clearly from the day before. So why 4 stars? For the genius that allows you to mix and match any two sandwich halves. This is brilliant. I've been to so many delis all over this country and I've never seen this . This alone makes it worth the trip. I had half pastrami, half chopped liver. Along with some coleslaw and pickles, I was a happy customer.

Unassuming but always reliable. Lots of options. The soups are terrific. The Ortega brisket melt is great too.

We were looking for a place to order food from for a group of people and this place saved the day!! I ordered the falafel wrap with fries , and we also got a few of the hot beef brisket sandwich and the chicken salad and the chicken salad sandwich. Customer service is 10/10 and they were so kind and understanding and made our food. The falafel wrap was delicious and the fries are a must try!!! My only complaint is I wish there was more falafel in there because as you can see in the picture there was more salad that falafel in the wrap but everything else was super delicious. Definitely recommend!

We got food delivered from Labels, everything was wonderful. The steak fries are remarkably some of the best I've ever seen. The soup is homemade and delicious. What a pleasant surprise on a day I was under the weather.

This place just doesn't care. I ordered hot dogs for my kids and asked specifically for ketchup, didn't get the ketchup. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak, it was dry and they didn't put any peppers on. Just dry meat and onions. I ordered a salami sandwich and asked specifically for mayo and mustard, no mayo or mustard and the salami was brown. Lazy and inconsiderate. Hope I don't get sick.

I ordered thru GRUB HUB from this restaurant mushroom barley soup and corn beef sandwich with Fries . when it arrived the fries were cold and the rye bread was slightly stale and the corn beef was cold and edges of the corn beef were hard and stale . the corn beef was not very fresh . the soup was cold . very disappointed because I order from this deli all the time but will now no longer . very disappointing . a 17 dollar sandwich wasn't worth it. so disappointed I gave one half of the corn beef to the dog .

The worst chicken soup I've ever had in my life! If a delicatessen has terrible chicken soup then you know the food is not going to be good! I miss Joseph's deli!

This is for the brisket reuben. What a great sandwich out of this unassuming strip mall deli in the valley. The people there were pleasant and polite. We did not eat in but took it to go on a couple of occasions. It may not be Katz in NYC but for LA this sandwich rivals Canter's and Langer's just fine. Brisket was tender and quantity was on par with its price.
