39 Best Delis in Los Angeles

“Stealing a phrase from their menu here, but Belle’s bagels is the epitome of “Newish & Jewish” deli classics. Their bagels on their own (judged by eating them without any CC or toppings) are wonderful and I much prefer them over the bagels from Courage, Layla, and Jyan Isaac. They have all the usual suspects (poppy, plain, onion, everything, sesame, salt) and what I’ll call a zeitgeist spin on a typical Asiago bagel: the cacio e pepe. I ordered an assortment of bagels to-go but also had an egg & cheese on the cacio e pepe at the bar counter. It was unbelievably good and such a unique flavor - the crushed peppercorns were the perfect touch. The bagel was perfectly chewy and soft, which paired so well with the velvety eggs and oozing melted cheese. Sitting at the counter felt like I was being served little slice of Jewish deli nostalgia. I also tried one of the black and white cookies to-go and was pleasantly surprised. I hadn’t found a black and white cookie I liked in LA for years until now. If you ever miss New York or the hustle and bustle of a deli with charm and character, make your way to Belle’s.“

“Need to come to this small food joint inside the liquor place! They have seating outside the place, which is perfect!

I got their Dirty Baby sandwich with avocado! Cost 2 dollars more to add avocado, btw.
Rating: 9/10!!!
Really greasy, be warned, but worth it for sure!

My brother ordered their Jeff's Special Sandwich.
He rated it a 7/10, but I rate it 8.5/10!
For me, it was delicious! But personally, I prefer their Dirty Baby sandwich ❤️‍🔥

If I happen to be in the area again, I will certainly return. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. I eagerly anticipate my next visit 😊“

“They have the best tamales!! we come here every year for our Christmas tamales.“

“I’ve been here a few times now and have always found it lovely! Just had their River Market chicken salad sandwich today and it was delicious. They’re so friendly and accommodating and I appreciate the nice quiet atmosphere for conversation with a friend or enjoying a book.“

“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.“

“good tast and delicious fff“

“I'm vegetarian and appreciate the options anywhere I can get them. I've only been here for the sandwiches, the Hancock St and Eggplant Parm sammies, both are delicious and hit the void in my tummy for a decent sandwich. They also have salads, sides, pasta and pizza veggie options but that's not what I was here for lol although I'm sure they're all also delicious. My only wish for this place would be an additional veggie sandwich.

Vegetarian options: Hancock St Sandwich, Eggplant Parm Sandwich, salads, sides, pasta and pizza options“

“Fat Sal's Deli is known for its massive, over-the-top sandwiches packed with bold flavors and creative ingredients. It's a great spot for indulgent, hearty meals that satisfy big appetites. The casual atmosphere and unique menu make it a favorite for anyone craving comfort food with a twist.“

“Grand Central Market is fun and Wexlers was good.“

“Food was good service, and it was sketchy at best. Brought everyone's food out at different times, which was difficult for the 5 of us to enjoy our meal together. One of us ordered onion rings and got French fries. Instead of bringing a side order of onion rings... they took the whole meal back, and the individual had to wait for the whole order to be made. Parking is always an issue. Gonna be awhile before another visit.“

“This place is a hidden gem. It's tucked in a small lot behind Wendy's. It almost looks like a drive way but it is surely not a place to miss. Despite the massive lunch crowd the service was extremely fast and I got my food within 5 min of ordering. The baklava and philly cheese steak wrap were absolutely delicious, freshly made, and the prices were reasonable. I will definitely go back for more !

Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the first floor“

“Great sandwiches. Fresh ingredients.“

“Very friendly neighborhood deli/diner. Delicious food served from the counter. Plenty of seating so you probably won't have to wait.

Parking: There is much more seating than parking, but you can just feel that many folks walk there for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.“

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

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

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

“Best bagel spot in town and honestly one of the best bagels that I have had in my life. The only time I've had a bagel this good was in New York City, so it lives up to the name. Don't go anywhere else in LA and it's worth the drive. The egg salad and chicken salad is also pretty good“

“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.“

“We split a turkey salami sandwich and had a side pasta salad. The sandwich was delicious and the bread very fresh. The pasta salad had a light, flavorful dressing.
It is near LAX but aircraft noise is minimal. There were 4 in our party, and we used up all the seating outdoors.“

“This is truly a great place to get a quick cheap lunch! I went in with my friend and we got a turkey club combo with mac salad and it was ten times better than subway or jimmy johns. The guy behind the counter was really nice and helpful too.great place, highly recommend!“

“One of my favorite spots! Not only are the pastas a bang for your buck, they're absolutely delicious!! It even comes with a garlic knot and averages under $14 after tax. Their sandwiches are also solid, as well as their salads and pizza (the forager is a chefs kiss). I have been wanting to try more of their menu but it is so hard to stray from my favorites (sausage pomodoro pasta). Also, I have always received good and friendly service.“

“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.“

“My wife has her own sandwich which is a Michelle sandwich turkey, provolone, easy on the mayo and mustard with avocado on toasted Italian roll, just ask for a Michelle they know what it consists of with a bag of chips and pelegrino pamogranit and tangerine try it you'll like it and tell them Michelle sent you thank you and bon a petite ?.“

“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.“

“I stopped in here for the first time today and am very happy I did! I am from New York where we always stopped at Katz. I would say they are a tad bit over priced, but we are in Cali, not much to expect lol. They made it up by how well my bagel was made and how much my partner enjoyed their Ruben. I do think the Super Ruben had a great amount of meat on it and was prepared very well ! I think this was a well worth stop, and if we were ever in a sandwich mood again, I would order here !
Hope everyone gets to check them out, they were very friendly and know what they’re doing !“

“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.“

“I love the Ultimate Breakfast Burrito, I think it's over a pound and the side salsa has a great peppery flavor. The only drawback is that you have to grab a ticket and pay at the front and then get the ticket stamped and return it to the pickup spot to get your food, not a problem if you are getting delivery.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“1 review? How is there only 1 review for this place? Are you kidding me? The best food truck in DTLA plus a brick and mortar to go with it!!! The BEST smoothies in Los Angeles. Period. The smoothie guy is a lil grumpy but that's okay. The food truck ladies are so beautiful and polite and talented chefs, what more could you ask for? 1 review? Come on LA, show your love. This place is always busy so I'm not sure why only 1 review. Check them out for sure. Grab that mango spinage smoothie, oh boy!!!!“

“I normally come to this place to grab a bite during my lunch ! I have tried their Turkey Avocado Sandwiches, Fruit Smoothies, and Freshly Pressed Juices multiple times and I have never been disappointed. Their food taste so fresh and delicious I can never seem to get enough. Also, for those of you who can’t make it to this food court they also do free local deliveries free of charge!“

“Hi All. Still the best Poy Boy and sandwich place in the country. I am from Canada and used come by for sandwiches when in LA. By sure luck booked a hotel nearby only to figure out I was staying next to Po Boys LA. A special shout out to Pena. Still the best.“

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

“Amazing breakfast omlette!“

“Самое лучшее место в ЛА у Кости“
