Amazingly consistent local Jewish Deli. Love the staff, everyone is nice. Just went through a recent renovation and it feels much more open now.

I saw this Mort’s Deli around Tarzana. It turns out it has been an institution in that area for the last 60+ years!
The restaurant has been renovated late last year 2024. What you see now is a nice, inviting restaurant that still kept a touch of nostalgia with the traditional booth seatings.
Saturday lunch crowd filled up most of the booths.
I had the lunch combo for $19 that came with a coleslaw salad. Add $1 gets you a matzo ball soup.
The matzo ball has more of a silky consistency like mashed potato. It was not as flavorful or dense as the other matzo ball soup I had in LA, but it was still quite satisfying.
The pastrami sandwich was not as big as the ones you’ll expect from say Langer’s. I was also hoping the cuts of pastrami I got will be richer (reads fattier) but it was more on leaner side which a lot of people probably prefer.
There is abundant parking at the back.

Ordered Matzo ball soup zero chicken in it just a few carrots barely any noodles and 2 matzo balls. Not worth 20$ maybe 5$. The pastrami was also 20$ it was tasty but literally bread and meat and not very much of it. I grew up here and I will never go back a complete waste of money.

Been going here for 30+ years but new owners have ruined it, Changed the name and Portion sizes of Pastrami Sandwiches are half, even though the prices have gone up, they’ve eliminated many items off the menu and blocked off the entrance to Bea’s Bakery too. They’ve pushed me away permanently. It’s really to bad they’ve ruined a well established legend.

I'm saddened by the closure of Mort's; it holds many cherished childhood memories. The food quality seemed to have declined, with the macaroni and potato salads being bland and dry and the feeling of old delicatessenen is gone, "THE NOSH" has taken over now.
Don, was very nice nasty refused to give me extra mustard. He thought it was going to be a big deal to give me 4 extra mustards,from my 2 knishs. The food was disgusting. It was oversized with no flavour and extremely greasy. It hurt my stomach. It hurts like hell to eat, my stomach that is,it the next day I wanted to throw up,I literally ordered a cheesecake. Everything is overpriced here at this delicatessen, i’ve been to New York Jewish deli much much better, is way better than this. This deli is overrated,. It’s not worth me returning to buy anything. The most expensive thing on the menu was that cheesecake $10, The conditions were expensive and nasty. You would never believe it does not even taste like a knish. for one slice it taste like vomit. they can’t cook like a real Jew, no seasoning whatsoever, so plain so bland the mustard made it taste worse……. don’t worry, I won’t be returning to this restaurant at all.

I thought I was the only one who thought the charm of Bea's bakery being closed off took away from the memories and nostalgia. I had mozto ball soup.. they were not homemade tasty. As mentioned no rye bread or bagel chips..This is/was a Jewish Deli now its just another overpriced sandwich shop. I also got a corn beef sandwich it did not look like a deli sandwich to me.. hardly any corn beef.. and not 1 mustard pack in the bag. I was very disappointed the take out person was not very friendly. For 2 extra 2 tops the pass way to bea s is closed. I was there ay noon on a weekday the place was empty. They spruce up the area and in my opinion is that it isn't the delivery I grew up with and took my children too. I know there are others but a couple of years ago this was my favorite

To the Nosh Ownership Team: reopen the connecting door to Bea’s, increase your portions, leave everything the way it was, or else it will be difficult to retain lifetime customers like me and my family.
The new remodel is beautiful but it completely lacks any bit of the charm that the old Morts had to offer. Allowing the door to Bea’s to be open again would change everything. Closing the connecting door was a big mistake and is an easy fix. Prices have risen and the portions have shrunk. Everything is an additional charge. The Matzo ball soup doesn’t come with bagel chips or crackers. Half a tuna sandwich comes with a tiny thing of coleslaw and maybe a kids ice cream scoop worth of tuna.
This beautiful remodel brings your team so much potential. Don’t lose your fan base along the way

RIP Mort's! The new owners are changing it to "The Nosh" and it has gone way down hill. The sign out side still says Morts, but the menus say "The Nosh", so first off the restaurant (and me as a guest) doesn't know it's name. The new owners (from two years ago) are in the process of changing it over to "The Nosh" to match their other location. I was there at 1230 on a weekday, when it should be packed, and there were maybe six spots taken.
They've redone the inside and while it is nice, there is no longer any of the Mort's charm and it looks like a generic restaurant. They even closed off the entrance to Bea's Bakery so they could put a few more tables in the place. See my photo for the sign in Bea's about it.
I was there with three people and we each got the lunch special. Two of us had the corned beef sandwich and chicken noodle soup and one had the turkey sandwich and Matzo ball soup. The soup was good. Portion size was pretty normal, but it wasn't as flavorful. They served it with pre-packaged saltine crackers instead of rye bread and they now charge for rye bread for the table, where it used to be free.
As to the sandwiches, they were half of what they used to be. You used to have to fight to get a bite because the sandwiches were so thick, now I didn't even need to open my mouth all the way. Definitely not the Mort's experience. On top of that, the seasoning and taste of all the meat was off, like it was unsalted. I've had bigger sandwiches at the local non-Jewish deli. For $20 a person, and for MORT'S DELI, I expected more.
I've been making the trek out here from Ventura County for decades and it's always been so good. Not anymore. This is the last time I'll be going there. It used to so much better than Brent's Deli, and today I wished I was at Brent's. I left hungry for the first time... and not just hungry but feeling like I hardly had anything!
I can say that the waitress and staff were friendly and the service was good.

Saddens me Mort’s has now closed off the walk through entrance from Beas to Mort’s (what did Beas ever do to you new Mort’s !!!
They will always have business since Tarzana hospital is there
