This place used to be great. Now the give you barely any meat on the sandwiches and side of macaroni was 2 bites .21.99 for a sandwich that is a ripoff.Been going there 25 years no more.Buyer beware they are skimping on the food.Terrible.Hadios.And no phone number to call back.Brents is the place now.Shame on them.I guess they have to pay for the reservations but not at the cost of the customer. They is way better places to spend your money. Shameful!!

The main reason I'm writing this is at the end...My wife and I were out for a drive and she wanted something from a deli. We haven't been to Mort's in decades and thought that would be a fond memory to relive. When we arrived we were surprised to see all the booths were empty! We thought it may have been because of the holiday, but didn't overthink it. We picked a booth and got immediate attention. We ordered what we wanted without opening a menu. Lox and cream cheese on a sesame bagel for me and a chopped liver sandwich for her. The orders arrived quickly and they looked like a painting. Each was garnished with super fresh lettuce, tomato, red onion, cucumber and pickle slices, and a few olives, too. The garnish alone was a satisfying meal. We both loved what we ordered but my wife couldn't finish hers so I get leftovers for breakfast. Yea. Anyway, as we got back in the car, I noticed the owner locking the door we had just exited. It was a little after 5 so we thought they were closing early for the holiday. Just now, eight hours later, I glanced at their website and found that they close EVERY day at 5! They had been closing shop as we walked in, but as good hosts, never said a word. We enjoyed their hospitality, after hours and you can't put a price on that.

The new owners ruined what Mort’s was. The ambiance is so sterile, not being able to just go into Bea’s and the price of the food compared to the portions. I would rather drive past than stop in. What was once a home for its customers, is now a fading memory. Too bad.

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 $1 gets you a matzo ball soup.
The matzo ball has more of a silky consistency like mashed potato. It was not as flavorful or dense as the other matzo ball soup I had in LA, but it was still quite satisfying.
The pastrami sandwich was not as big as the ones you’ll expect from say Langer’s. I was also hoping the cuts of pastrami I got will be richer (reads fattier) but it was more on leaner side which a lot of people probably prefer.
Ordered Matzo ball soup zero chicken in it just a few carrots barely any noodles and 2 matzo balls. Not worth 20$ 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.
