Description

This beloved institution has been ladling matzoh ball soup since 1947 and started out as a humble operation with just a 12-seat counter. The restaurant today has grown considerably, now decked out with booths as well as a loyal fanbase that extends far beyond Los Angeles and across the entire country. Equally ample is the menu, with all the requisite standards such as latkes, blintzes and chopped liver. Breakfast is served all day. But if you’re here for the first time, there's only one way to go: the No. 19 hot pastrami sandwich with Swiss cheese, coleslaw and Russian dressing.

Langer's Deli in Los Angeles is a historic institution known for its traditional diner atmosphere. Many reviewers praise the pastrami and corned beef sandwiches for their tenderness and rich flavor, noting generous portions of French toast and efficient service. However, some guests report slow meal pacing and express concerns about the surrounding neighborhood's safety and cleanliness, citing unpleasant odors and unfriendly seating staff. While food quality is generally appreciated, opinions on value are mixed, with some finding prices high or soups diluted. It suits travelers seeking an authentic, classic deli experience, though visitors should remain aware of environmental factors.
