40 Best Delis in Los Angeles

“I travel all over the country, eating at fantastic restaurants, and I was extremely happy with everything we received, including the iced tea. This restaurant is a must-visit when you're in L.A.! Kudos! Delicious 😋“

“Real good 👍 the staff is very friendly“

“It was my first time here and the sandwiches were amazing. We hit the lunch rush on a Sunday and it got pretty packed, but the staff were super nice and we got our food in no time. There is an amazing craft beer selection and also a great NA drink selection as well. There is a cute back patio to sit and enjoy. Highly recommend!“

“For all you vegans and vegetarians out there, the tofu banh mi is SPECTACULAR. Don’t sleep on O Bahn Mi. Great lunch at an old school price. Might be two lunches depending on your appetite! Limited seating but you can usually snag a spot. Thai coffee is sweet and has that caffeine kick.“

“We were originally looking forward to eat at Wendy’s but saw this place, we decided to check it out and we’re so glad we did! The portions are good for the price, very affordable and the food is amazing! I got a three decker clubhouse combo with pasta primavera. The workers are very friendly and accommodating! They make sure to greet the customers on their way out. This place is definitely somewhere we’re gonna go back to, it’s so worth it💖“

“I can't say enough nice things about Belles. The staff is great and the bagels are the bomb! I love their new full service restaurant as I used to order from them through door dash or postmates during covid. Super friendly and wonderful space!! Go!“

“First time there, the food was awesome and customer service was excellent.“

“CHICKEN PESTO PANINI AND SWEET POTATO FRIES...��� ���“

“Great sandwiches. Fresh ingredients.“

“Staff was patient and helpful, the sandwich options were a mix of classics and LA riffs on classics. Make sure to check the specials board.

Jeff's Special - A Reuben with extra cheese for that nice pull and a gruyere crisp for texture, the original reason for my first visit

Dirty Baby - A turkey salad with nice contrasting textures with celery, Persian cucs and a nice kick from the generous amount of chili crunch

Hot Hot - Similar to the Jeff's special but no kraut and spicy habanero slaw, as a spice guy I appreciate the zippy contrast to the fatty components

The sandwiches packed a lot of flavor but this time seemed to be a little smaller/ less filled than I remember especialy comparing the Hot Hot to the previouly served Jeff's Special.

Still a good option for something to-go or to dine on the small tables outside.“

“Every moment. The location, staff, cleanliness, organization , but most definitely the food !!! See you there real soon. Livin that #volkxlyfe !!! Go lakers !!“

“I’ve been coming here since my college days at LMU in 2011-2012 and went out of my way to visit again today in February 2026 while visiting from out of town where I live now.

Places like this are in short supply and should be cherished. Same owner. Same delicious sandwiches. Same high quality ingredients and large portions. I will continue coming to Olive for years to come, god willing. Can’t say enough good things.“

“This is probably the best tuna sandwich I've ever had in my life. I never want to have any other tuna sandwich as long as I live.

The owner is a very nice and friendly person. I love all the artwork in the facility. Every time I visit this part of town I'm going to go here“

“I had the Pastrami Sandwich. I believe it’s called Noi sandwich. It is the best of this kind I’ve had. I have had a lot. The meat has great taste without being salty and the unique way they slice the meat makes a great difference.
The Noodle Koogle is delicious as well. Not overly sweet creamy inside which crunchy noodle bits on top.“

“Randomly, I went here for a quick bite to eat. I was not disappointed. Lily makes the best sandwich I have had in a long time. The huge tuna and chicken salad sandwiches were amazing. Her prices are super reasonable for the amount of foods she’s serving up. I’m definitely coming back here again.“

“Love Magee’s! The absolute best in meat, mashed potatoes, and gravy!“

“I used to frequent this place as a down student literally over 12 years ago. And every no and then if I was downtown, I’d stop in. I still think about their food and I’m across the country now. So fresh, tasty, just exactly what you need. Especially because downtown is a bit of a hassle t get food in. The staff were always so friendly and gracious. Very quick too. Highly recommend.“

“Great food, great service, wonderful atmosphere!!!“

“Great spot for a quick bite! The pricing is very reasonable, and the food is always fresh—made right on the spot just the way you want it. Super easy checkout, and the whole place has a welcoming vibe. It smells amazing as soon as you walk in, and everything looks clean and well taken care of. Definitely a go-to deli inside a gas station!“

“A friend of mine brought me here. I live so close and regret not coming here sooner. Their daily special with Shish Kebab was excellent. Can't wait to bring more friends for a quick lunch. They have seating with Cafe tables hidden in the back.“

“This has to be one of the best eats in all of Downtown Los Angeles. I've been coming here with my grandparents since I was 6, at 21 now, the quality and consistency of their food hasn't changed. The price point for their shawarma plate falls at around $26 but it can be shared between 2 people, and the taste makes it worth more than spending much less on lower quality foods. They don't perform for anyone, the food is reminiscent of Greek or Lebanese street food, and you'll always feel like you're at home here at St. Vincent's Deli.
Their meat is incredibly well seasoned, perfectly cooked, and juicy. The salad is crisp and refreshing. Be sure to get some of their Ashta after your meal.
I encourage everyone to eat at this legacy of a deli in Downtown, and to support this local business.“

“My wife and I shared a smoked turkey, cheese and avocado sandwich and it was plenty for a late lunch and the bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, my wife enjoyed the lentil soup also. we shall return when in the area.“

“The convenience store had a fantastic array of fresh produce and essential toiletries. The staff was incredibly helpful, guiding me through the aisles with a smile. The cleanliness and organization of the store were impeccable. It's evident they prioritize quality products for their customers. Despite the top-notch quality, the prices were surprisingly reasonable, making it a go-to spot for my daily essentials. A definite recommendation for anyone seeking convenience without compromising on quality.“

“We had several amazing experiences at this place. We ended up going several times. Food was great as well as the wait staff and I got to talk to the owner for a long while Thursday as I asked her we could hang out a bit after lunch while waiting to go to the airport!! We were on an 8 day trip and are there FOUR times. The atmosphere is wonderful but the food is amazing.“

“Great little deli tucked behind a has station! Their menu has a nice selection of cold and hot sandwiches and a large variety of drinks, alcoholic and non!
Service was fast, took about 5-10 minutes from placing order to getting my food.“

“Ever crave a NY style BEC bagel but you live in West LA? Look no further than New York Bagel and Deli! While there are many good bagel places in the city, this has the best bagel quality and value in my opinion. They do everything, from bagel with shmear and lox to BEC and even pizza, all for an affordable price. Highlight is the sandwich combo which is a fat bagel sandwich and a combo. It's my go to for a filling breakfast for a long day!“

“They are so sweet. Always make my breakfast just the way I like it and coffee fresh every Morning. There is a place to sit and eat or to get some work done. Quiet peaceful shop. If your are shopping in the jewelry district early morning this is a great place to check out. Enjoy! :)#jaenote“

“They have the best selection in food not only is the food there fresh but they also have a very good selection in healthy foods. They also have homemade recipes in traditional cuisine. The food is very GOOD and I love all of their healthy hot dishes, pasta salads, panini sandwiches and more. The people working there are very nice. Everyday they have different homemade soups.“

“I tried this place for lunch since I was looking for something new that also wasn't so heavy like other items around the area are. I chose this place because the of the reviews and also their menu. It seems all over the place since it goes from wraps, to sandwiches, sushi rolls, poke, smoothies, ice blended drinks, and even boba!

I ordered the chicken wrap for lunch and chose a side of potato salad. You have three options, which are fries, salad or potato salad. I'll try the other two the next time, maybe with a sandwich. The chicken wrap, I assumed, I was going to receive cold. To my surprise it was warm and that's because it comes with freshly grilled chicken. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and surrounded by crisp veggies. It also had like a ranch sauce or caesar dressing sauce or similar. But it all worked out well together.

The potato salad was just okay, and it was nothing amazing. It had a decent flavor. Personally, I would not order this item again as it could have been better.

The ice blended coffee was great. Exactly what I had expected from an ice blended beverage. Nothing amazing and I would order it again, but this time in a larger size for me.

Overall, this place was much better than I had expected, and it does deserve it's rating as the food was packaged neatly, looked great and tasted great. I will definitely be coming back to this place to try their other items. The place is nice and the prices are more than fair and inexpensive.“

“Every time I’m in downtown LA I stop here and eat! There is a family vibe that I absolutely love! The food is so fresh and the service is so warm and accommodating. Whatever I asked for a fresh cup of coffee even though it’s already fresh, they make me a new cup! When I want to try something they go the extra mile to make me happy.“

“This place is great! Food truck in front is tasty and consistent. Service is super friendly, place is damn clean and if you’re regular there they definitely treat you like family. I’d give more stars if i could, this place is solid and priced fair. Especially considering the area it’s in. The shop in front is part of the food truck and has really good healthy smoothies I’d highly recommend! Get the detox drink 🫡“

“I used the Vons app today for a one hour delivery time frame via the Carlsbad, CA store. After the third-party member picked up the order and did not deliver for almost three hours, I requested a refund for the melted ice cream which I received promptly. I certainly did not expect to see this a couple of hours later: a refund for the entire purchase...thank you Vons for going above and beyond with your customer service!“

“Delicious Philly Cheese Steak.“

“Самое лучшее место в ЛА у Кости“

“Great customer service +18O56O854O6 NO NONSENSE and GREAT ASSISTANCE!!!“

“The holy land of Hollywood. Canter’s is a staple of Los Angeles, and has been visited by many of the greats and legends. With an extremely impressive menu list, you will be happy with whatever you get. The pastry counter is excellent with some great black and white cookies.“

“Canter is one of the best in America. Pastrami heaven.“
