I've eaten a lot of pastrami and this place is in my Top 3. Their rye bread is my favorite. Order the very non-Kosher #19 sandwich (pastrami , Russian, Swiss, coleslaw ) and a chocolate egg cream .

LA Weekly

The fact is inescapable: Langer's serves the best pastrami sandwich in America, in a location perhaps better suited to a tamale merchant. Curbside service (call ahead) and Validated lot parking ! Read more

Eater

Pro tip: try the #54, a blend of both the pastrami and corned beef in one sandwich . And don't skip the rest of the classic Jewish deli menu - it's all very well executed. Read more

Leave your diet, hangups, & balanced diet in the entrance and unleash your inner monster. Num 19, a must! 44, heaven. Thirsty? order a chocolate egg cream .

PureWow

If you’re like us, you’ve had your fair share of matzo ball soup in this city . But we have to hand it to Langer’s for the modest-sized dumplings with a chewy texture in a light, golden broth. Read more

Eater

Using Langer's legendary pastrami , these crinkle cut fries are a bit of magic. Just don't order them and expect not to share. Read more

Chris L

LA's most famous deli . The most popular sandwich , the #19. The pastrami literally melts in your mouth, the Russian style dressing so graceful yet rich, and the tepid coleslaw the perfect complement.

Eater

The #19 at Langer's is the absolute pinnacle of a Jewish deli staple, complete with mile-high stacks of pastrami , Swiss cheese , and coleslaw on rye .

Dale Baker

Chili-Cheese Omelet is my go-to meal at Langer's. There are very few restaurants nowadays serving these. Happily Langer's does, and it remains at the top of The-Best-of-List in my book .

#19 - Hot Pastrami , Cole Slaw , Swiss Cheese & Russian Dressing on Rye Bread

Stacy Bo Bacy

Dare I say best pastrami in the world? My fav is #19 and after you have it, it’ll be yours too.

Jake Bern

#19 all day, everyday! My Grandma & Mom came here in the 1940s & 50s. Fun Fact! During the Rodney King riots, when MacArthur Park was a war-zone, customers still drove down for curbside service.

The absolute best Pastrami on Jewish Rye i've had in my life! The Matzo Ball soup isn't to shabby either. A must try if you're in the downtown Los Angeles area.

Naz F. Gérdabi

I know it’s all about pastrami sandwiches here but I LOVED the tuna melt ! Oh and seeing the owner walk around introducing himself to all guests is pretty incredible

#19 always. Love the Grilled Nippy on Rye . Sit at the counter on Sarurdays with Barbara. Send Norm a hello and my love from NYC.

Khaled Alkulaib

Amaaaazing pastrami sandwich .... They close on Sundays ... Dont you ever miss it and never ask them to add or take anything out of the pastrami sandwich just order it the way it is.

Shinnawy

Pastrami #19, Fresser’s special #28 and the side of house fries (hash browns ) ♥️

Justin Ordoveza

Love the #9 chicken liver spread with pastrami pair with the house made cream soda .

Michael Quoc

The best pastrami sandwich I've had in a long time. Great service too - if there's a line they give everyone free bottled water. But really the quality of their pastrami is excellent.

Jim Techfrog Alden

Order the #19. Tender slices of thick cut Pastrami & coleslaw on the most amazing rye . Best sandwich in LA, period. Better than in NY. Try for yourself, you'll thank me, I promise. #19 baby!

Austin Soplata

Try the pickled pickles , and get the giant cream soda ! The pastrami 's great but not the best, and the corned beef plus tomatoes is amazing!

Josee H.

I love this place! Try the #19 or #44, by far the best sandwichs I've ever had. Just ordered the Knish (potato ) w/gravy...WOW so good.

Sabrina H

Came for breakfast . Lox , eggs , coffee is good, huge portions , old school bar , tons of action. This place is American perfection.

JBL

Maybe you sensed a theme back with our pick in Carnegie Deli . But if you're looking for something less glamour and more substance, check out Langer's and try the pastrami . Perfect road food.

The Feast

Widely considered the best pastrami sandwich in Los Angeles, if not the country . Try the re-baked rye bread with silky corned beef and chopped liver , along with bubbly egg creams . Read more

Joe Acindra

OMG, the world's best Pastrami . I just can't convince myself to try anything else, the Pastrami is soooo good. The bad part is that once you try it, you will hate all other pastrami that you eat at ot

Epicurious

Don't judge Langer's by its sometimes sketchy neighborhood : Just go early, order the hot pastrami on rye with coleslaw and Russian dressing , and savor the experience. Read more

heathr gold

Best sandwich I've ever had in my life. I love deli and do not say this lightly. Pastrami w Russian dressing and coleslaw

Steven de Mena

Everyone gets the #19 Pastrami but my love is the #24 Roast Beef . On an Onion Roll it rocks.

John Hume

The #19 is surprisingly well balanced. No meat-OD, and it held together to the last bite.

Thiago Gomes

Peça o #19 e depois peça outro porque em dois vc vai querer mais porque é esganado que eu sei. / Order the #19 and then order another because i know, you're glutton!

Jared Ernst

The number 19 changed my view on LA Deli 's . That was a flavor I havnt experienced since Katz in NYC. Super glad I made the trip!

Sukhjeet

they say the best Pastrami and Corned Beef outside of NYC, a must-try, near MacArthur Park in DTLA (SKETCHY ) so only go during daylight hours, food better if you eat it there

Cenker Karace

Order a number 19 with coleslaw in it and just enjoy the deliciousness eternal...

Erik Uriarte

This is seriously the best pastrami on rye I've ever had. Take the Red Line here is you can, it's either across the street.

Erick Rangel Arroyo

Awesomeness on a bread ! Half 44 half 19 ???????? Sharing it's the clue!

Wesley Kaminsky

Wanted to try out a deli in LA being here for the summer. Not as good as Katz' in NYC, but very good. The pastrami did it's justice.

Epicurious

The pastrami on rye at this deli gives its NYC rivals a run for their money. Be prepared, the neighborhood can be sketchy , but the food's worth it. They also have curbside service for takeaway treats.

Brian Jeong

Their pastrami sandwiches 're to die for. The double baked break on top just makes it a complete sandwich !

Jill Fitzpatrick

Massive sandwiches ! You can make it lean for 3.95 which means they take all the fat out and replace with more meat

Franco Caliz

Stick to the classics and you'll be grand. Pricey but worth it for the quality and portion sizes.

Winnie Khoo

Fave: pastrami , matzo ball soup , validated parking

Joshua Lee

I always want to try something new but I always end up getting number 19 with either a root beer or cream soda ... So good!

Midtown Lunch LA

Believe it or not, the completely plain pastrami sandwich is better than the #19. Nothing to distract you from the best pastrami in the world...

Can't go wrong with #19 or hot tongue sandwich in rye

Corned beef reuben is great. They have a cucumber salad that is a great alternative to coleslaw. I don't care for the potato salad. Skinny and curly fries are best. Free rye bread, just ask for it! - Joshua F
