Amazing deli. The food is top notch. Hard to beat their pastrami. My wife said the tuna melt is the best she’s ever had (she’s a tuna melt connoisseur). Service was great. The pickles are crispy and delicious. The owner was keeping an eye on things and very accessible. Really cool that they have their own parking lot.

Overall ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) Environment ⭐ The restaurant itself is fine, but the surrounding environment is rough. There are homeless people everywhere, and if this weren’t takeout, I honestly wouldn’t feel comfortable parking on the street and sitting down to dine. Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ordered several sandwiches, they were excellent. • Pastrami Sandwich ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The rye bread had a subtle caraway aroma that I really liked. The smoked pastrami was rich and intensely peppery. It was a bit fatty for my personal preference, but I understand the ratio is intentional and part of what makes it work. What really stood out was the coleslaw in the middle—paired with the Russian-style dressing, it cut through the richness perfectly and kept everything balanced. Will I come back? Yes—but daytime pickup only.

People say this place has the best pastrami EVER. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their iconic pastrami sando number 19. It came on perfectly soft, pillowy rye bread with a still crispity crunchy crust, sweet crunchy fresh coleslaw, tangy Swiss cheese and Russian dressing that all helped to balance out that beautifully thick hand cut rich umami savory tender pastrami. Pure deliciousity. Even though it’s expensive Lowkey might be the best sando in LA cuz this place is pretty good. $29.64 after tax

We loved the pastrami subs. It's a bit expensive. My husband loved the tri-tip sandwich. The area around the restaurant is sketchy. (It's across the street from MacArthur Park). It's nice once you're inside, but you do need to walk a block from the parking lot. The restaurant validates.

Their parking lot is easy to find but might get crowded if you go later in the day. We went around 12pm and we only had to wait a few minutes for a spot to open up. The wait to get a table was only about 20 minutes. It went by fast and staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. Once inside we ordered the #19, pastrami French dip, chili cheese pastrami fries, and a grilled cheese kids meal. Everything came out delicious. My son preferred the French dip and my husband preferred the #19. I liked both. If you want to compare this to Katz I would say it's on par but more balanced because it has the coleslaw. I definitely prefer their rye bread over the bread at Katz's. The crust is crunchy and the bread is fluffy and soft. We go here sporadically but we heard that when the owner retires they're going to close so we're making more of an effort to go more often.
