This place was always my go-to for pastrami! But over the period of time, employees has gotten very rude, unlike the old employees when I used to come almost every week. Now all they do is serve their food, nobody there shows customer service anymore!

Ok so this isn't a fancy place, but an experience place. It's no wonder why this place has been around since 1951. The food and prices are very good!! The shop is small, the line can be long, but it is worth the trouble. There is little to no parking, but be patient and you'll find some.
The pastrimi is good, not the best I've had but for 13$ it's well worth it. Wife got a cheeseburger and said it was very good. We got the chili cheese fries which are steep at 10+$ and onion rings (panko breaded) but they are so generous with the portions it's kinda worth it.
I had never been to this place and I did not know what I had been missing. The pastrimi was good, lots of pickles (which I don't like) mustard and a good bun. Fries were well cooked, heaped with chilly and they give you a lot!! Onion rings, crispy, well cooked and again, generous portion!!.
Overall everything was great. They are very busy, but worth the trouble to find parking, wait in line, wait for a table, wait for food, and then devour the vittals once they arrive!! Then, you'll see it was all worthwhile!
RECOMMEND!!!!

Just like I remember it when I was a kid. The pastrami was excellent and absolutely amazing. Definitely need The Hat in Arizona.

This is one of my favorite stops when passing through LA. The Hat, has a pastrami sandwich that you will enjoy. Get there alittle before lunch or will have to wait in line. Check your map to locate the closest Hat on your route, all are great. Warning: if you don't have an appetite ,share the fries.
There is no other place like the hat. For pastramis chili fries, excellent anytime we drive through L, a, we stop at the head 2 week. Best best draw me ever.

I still think that the original on Garfield and valley serves you more meat than the ELA hat as for servers they don't know exactly what they are doing

Worlds best pastrami. Can't beat the pastrami chilli cheese fries. Best pastrami I've ever had. All the other pastrami spots, their pastrami is too thick. If you like it nice and thin sliced, this spot is the way to go.
