My favorite gem in LA. Every time I’m sick, my boyfriend gets me matzah ball soup, and it really is magical Jewish penicillin. It always makes me feel better. I dream about the chocolate rugelach. Delicious baked goods. Amazing service, Canter’s family-owned and they really do everything with love!

Great place for old fashioned deli meats that aren’t done well anymore like Pastrami and Corned Beef! Picked up a couple pounds for sandwiches back home in Northern California. Staff is very knowledgeable. Also had a great bagel! Just had a corned beef sandwich with the sweet honey mustard. I’m in heaven!

This diner feels as if you've gone back in time. Very basic seating and decor but timeless in quality of the food. Our waiter, Jimmy, was fabuous and our larger party of 10 was looked after excellently.
