40 Best Delis near Monterey Park

“The human touch of a bowl of noodles⋯When I used to work at a newspaper in Mengcheng City, I would go to this Shanghai aunt’s noodle shop with other reporters to dine ?She remembered our preferences and faces after several visits. We didn’t meet for a while after leaving the job. One day we met by chance on the road, and my aunt still remembered me!After chatting for a while and saying goodbye, she said that she wanted to treat her to a meal next time she went to a restaurant. I didn't take it to heart. Until a few days ago, I drove by and wanted to eat their bowl of noodles. When I walked in, she was talking on the phone to take orders. When she saw my eyes widened, she asked me to sit down. Not long after, my dry noodles were served. Plus a red oil snack as a treat.This bowl of noodles is quite special. It is neither fried noodles nor sesame noodles, but fried sesame noodles mixed with two sauces. The menu is called "Strange Flavor Noodles". The taste is quite rich. When eating, you should mix it with raw cucumber. The noodles, sauce and refreshing cucumber naturally form a delicious balance that makes you want to take another bite.Maybe it's so strange. After eating it for the first time, I ordered this bowl of noodles from the store every time I came back. Several times when I walked into the store, my aunt yelled at the kitchen, knowing that this was what I ordered.While eating noodles, we talked about many things, including the decline of the newspaper office, and many people left! There are all new faces now, and the lively scenes before are no longer there. I smiled and said, many old employees should come back to see you, right? She laughed and said that it was true. Every once in a while, old faces come to reminisce, including me who showed up today.When she was leaving after the meal, she waved her hand and said don't give me any money. I said give me a tip! I just left the money on the table and emphasized that I would still come back. Not only was this bowl of noodles the most important thing, the human touch was priceless.“

“The tacos were amazing. The Pastor was fire!“

“Great experience here. The service and food were fantastic. Loved the vibe of the place and quality of the sandwiches. We ordered the burrata and ham special and The Jeff Special. The Jeff was hot and tasty and the Burrata Ham was delicious. High quality products.“

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

“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.“

“This place has THE BEST meatball sandwiches... Packed with so much flavor, as soon as you walk in this place it smells SOOO GOOD ... AND the employees in there are so nice and are very helpful... Kathi helped us today and she was Soo nice.. she has great customer service.. I'd give her 10 stars if I could.. she was right it was well worth the wait...

Parking: There's a few spots right in front and then there is a parking lot across with at least 25+ spaces of parking

Wheelchair accessibility: There is no stairs so it is wheelchair accessible“

“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“

“Great sandwiches. Fresh ingredients.“

“Small hard to find shop with limited parking. Limited hours. Not to mention it was crowded during lunch hours. With that said they have amazing customer service. More importantly, they have incredibly huge, and tasty homemade sandwich. The food is worth having to deal with all the downside of coming here.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 only Armenian market in Glendale with an amazing customer service. I really enjoy shopping there. The owner and the staff are extremely respectful toward customers.“

“A great pizza place with an authentic East Coast flare. Pizza sold by the slice tastes like the typical great pizza I was used to in B’lyn and New York City!!

This is a welcome change of venue in the typical West Coast scene of pizza store chains and mediocre pizza quality.“

“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 ?.“

“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.“

“The sandwiches here are soooo good. They use fresh &/or "homemade" (made in the restaurant) ingredients, & their selection is amazing. They have a great lunch special! I also love their Tiramisu. Friendly & clean Deli.“

“This is a drive thru dairy u can get those quick drink items and smokes basics and they are really nice helpful and fast I believe they are open 10-10 daily and from what I have noticed always busy...when U Don't want to get out of the car but get what u need and keep it moving this is the spot.“

“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.“

“Small family business that has been serving the community for over 2 decades, at least.Small grocery storeThey carry some imported products from Russia, Eastern and Southern European countries.I think the lady is the only one that knew English, or wanted to help take my order?Good Manwiches, you will know why...The prices are okayThe Manwiches:The sandwich prices are slightly on the more expensive side in the sandwich world, but not as high as Frumebto's, and the filling is freshly sliced and on the generous side.Turkey Manwich -- The ~1 footlong sandwiches will really help give you a strong manly jaw!!!! It's a slightly tough sourdough bread. Omg, I haven't had a jaw workout in over a year but I was feeling my jaw strengthen by the time I finished eating their sandwich!!! Idk if it was just that day but the sandwich bread 100% will strengthen my jaw muscles, and I'm certain it will strengthen yours too!!! You really don't know how luxurious our food is compared to our ancestors if you haven't had to eat something tough.100% will get another sandwich!!!It's a tasty workout lolGuys, open your wallets and help support a small business, while making yourself look marginally more manly lol“

“Just a regular business park sandwich shop. Girl working was very nice and the store was clean.They got my sandwich wrong 2 times, they let me keep the 1st one but I didn't bother mentioning the 2nd wrong sandwich as I didn't have time for a remake.“

“I was introduced to this grocery store by an Armenian friend of mine, and it's a GEM! Friendly staff, and delicious foods and produce. Their Yogurt Soup and Bean Salad (with dill) are superb, and I highly recommend their potato pirozhkis. I'm not often in Glendale, but when I am, I always make a stop! Easy parking too.“

“Stopped by on a whim after picking up my nephew from daycare. They had a great selection if fruit and I was able to find ingredients I needed for that dinner. Place is clean and easy to find items. Cashier and staff were nice without being overbearing which I appreciate. Will stop by again when I need anything and in the area. Thanks guys!“

“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.“

“The quality has remained high since my family started going there back in 1961. You can’t go wrong with any selections, although their original combo will always be my favorite!“

“Fresh ingredients. Natural juices are veey good. Fruit is fresh. Guava filled churros are bomb!“

“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!!!!“

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

“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!“

“I went there because the Pasadena location was going through a remodel. This is a little closer and in the Vons shopping center. It’s very large and welcoming. Service was prompt and courteous, with ham sliced upon request, which let me know it was fresh.“

“I eat the sandwiches all year long. I love the ham and the ribs from this place too! They have so many excellent choices of meats, sides, cakes and pies. The staff is so kind and helpful. I live closer to another HoneyBaked Ham but I come to the Pasadena store for the service and flavorMuch better than Glendale!! or any other HoneyBaked Ham store in the area ?

Vegetarian options: The California veggie sandwich is sooo good! There are other good sides that are vegetarian too. Desserts are generally vegetarian.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options

Kid-friendliness: Kids like most of the menu“

“Nick and Kenethe were the most gracious and helpful hosts getting us everything we needed, which was a lot- because everything looked so good! And it was! From the Cavalucci biscotti to the soup, 3 sandwiches (my fave was the Parmigiana,) and some pastries to go. The only thing not as fresh was the tortuffo ice cream, but that’s alright, it was still delicious - just not as authentic as I’m used to. But all around the service was basically what made this experience top notch, the food was basically awesome. Thank you!“

“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.“

“Best avocado, mushrooms and tomato on rye bread, yummy!“
