The deli has not changed, but the food and prices have. The corned beef was lean and tasteless, and the price was outrageous. Come on, $24 for half a sandwich and a cup (or bowl) of soup! $9 for a potato knish? The food and prices cause me to avoid Arts in the future.

It had been a while since I’d been here. It was great to have the option to sit outdoors. Several tables outside. Of course there was plenty of inside seats too. I ordered scrambled eggs and bacon. The portions were significant. Unfortunately my eggs when brought out were cool. The bacon was ok. The food was very fair. Service was attentive. For the price, it should be better.

I ordered a Deli Platter ($200) for my birthday in late August for 10 people. This is not the first time I have ordered a platter there before. When I went to pick it up, they only gave me one loaf of Rye Bread for ten people. I asked for another loaf and the owner reluctantly after some nudging gave me ten slices from another pack and did not give me a whole extra loaf. I told him "come on" its my birthday and thought he was very cheap about it as I have been a long time customer. I do admit that they do have the best deli food but it pissed me off and I have not been back since.

We’ve lived in L.A. for almost 5 yrs and since moving here, visiting all of the nostalgia has been on my bucket list, especially restaurants. During Covid and while binging This Is Us, the episode where Rebecca was telling Kevin about she and Jack’s road trip to L.A. when they tried to find Joni Mitchell’s house and visited Art’s Deli on Ventura Blvd, bells went off bc I remembered passing Art’s hundreds of times since we live in Studio City. Well today was the day! I had pastrami on rye w/sweet potato fries and my husband had the corn beef sandwich....OMG so good and so filling!! Honestly, our lunch was pricey...we usually don’t pay that much unless there’s wine & spirits involved, however, we both left stuffed and with doggy bags so dinner is already taken care of. On an extra special note, a super nice lady came to our table to make sure everything was to our liking and then introduced herself as Sandy, widow of THE Art of Art’s Deli. She was so lovely, I wished I’d brought my resume with me bc I’d actually love to work for her as a personal asst or estate mgr. Seriously, it was a delightful experience and I will highly recommend Art’s Diner to everyone!!

Art’s Deli is a local institution. Art is gone but the deli lives on and recently celebrated its 62nd birthday. The food is what you would expect for a delicatessen. Tasty corn beef, lovely matzoh ball soup, and surprisingly good coleslaw to name a few. The prices however are on the spendy side. I had a beer with the half sandwich and a cup of soup combo which set me back 30 bucks. On the positive side, the portions were beyond adequate and I even had leftovers to take home. If you don’t mind paying a premium for the ambience an experience of a traditional deli (of which there aren’t many left in the area) then visit Art’s and enjoy the fare.
