Fanta Orange

The second-worst hoagie I have ever had. I have had many Italian Hoagies; it's my go-to hoagie. Mike's Deli #2 was a miss for me. I have never had a Hot Italian Submarine, but it's a little chilly outside, so I wanted something warm. Maybe I didn't like it because it was hot, but I cannot imagine the cold Italian hoagie tasting much better, same ingredients.

I stopped by Mike's Deli in DTLA on my way to Union Station, and I'm glad I did! While the store itself isn't flashy at all, they do produce some extremely good sandwiches. The girl working at the counter was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered a Mike's Deli #1, which is essentially a spicy version of a turkey avocado sandwich. The sandwich was super fresh and bursting with flavor. Really, every aspect of this sandwich was memorable, and the meat-to-vegetable-to-bread ratio was on point. The bread was very fluffy and nice, too. It's an d-school, simple deli that doesn't stand out cosmetically, but it's clean, welcoming, and they pump out some top-tier deli sandwiches at reasonable prices.

Hot Reuben Sandwich
Mr. C.

Pulled up to DTLA and had to grab myself a sandwich at this little spot. Got a Reuben sandwich, the pastrami was on a different level, real quality. The sandwich overall didn't need that sauerkraut in my opinion, it had a sweet taste that to me wasn't very necessary. I would be back though, you can taste the quality in the ingredients and the pastrami was some of the best I've had. Reuben sandwich: 8.1

Hot Bacon Tuna Melt

Mike's Deli is a hidden gem for sandwich lovers. The menu is packed with delicious choices.

Hot The Mailman Sandwich

The Mailman hot sandwich hit the spot! Service was quick and pleasant, great for a refill while walking around or taking a lunch break from work. Ordering online was also easy. I only wish that they were open in the evening/nighttime on Fridays and Saturdays. I would love to stop by while I'm bar hopping in the area!

First time going to this location. Plenty of chips and drink options. Super quick and friendly service. A few tables to sit at, and outside patio. Same quality sandwich, one of the best in LA. The other location has onion rings and fries, not sure that this one does.

Italian submariner
Kevin W.

Was in Little Tokyo and craving an Italian sub, so I decided to stop by this deli that seems to be known for its sandwiches. It's a quaint little deli, with a couple of counter seats and some outdoor tables for eating. Bit of a mom and pop new york shop vibe, and the owners are very polite and friendly. I got the Italian submariner sandwich. Everything was pretty fresh and tasty, and there was plenty of mayo to keep the sandwich nice and moist. The bread was nice as well, soft with just a bit of a crust. Simple but executed well, with a price that won't break the bank.

Cold Classic Club Sandwich
Linda M.

This is a hole in the wall for one of the best sandwiches in DTLA. A classic spot. A huge menu. Nothing will disappoint! I recommend the club, it's simple but super fresh and delicious. Always my go to! Service is quick and easy too. My mouth is watering by just typing this review. Maybe I'll go tomorrow...

Turkey, bacon, avacado on a french roll

Great service, the place was a quiet when we came in. They had a great selection of sandwiches, drinks and chip options. There is some seating we opted to take it to go. The sandwiches were big and Absolutely Delicious! I would recommend mikes deli any time you're in LA its 5 minute drive the Broad.

The hot Wisconsin gentleman was fire! Chipotle mayo on it was amazing and spicy! I will get that again and again. The pastrami was really good as well. Fresh made sandwiches and from what I gathered they are always busy but the lady up front was quick and we got out sandwiches fairly quickly. I will go back when in DTLA.

Can I order the Zu Zu Special here too, or is that only the Culver City location?

Hello Jon, Unfortunately the ZuZu Special along with anything that is fried is not available at our downtown location yet. We don’t have a grill put in place at this… 

How much do their sandwiches cost?

Between $7 - $13 depending what you want. You can get extras..I have averaged $10 for a gr8 sandwich! Been there 3 times in 6 months…

It is a pastrami & corned beef sandwich usually served on rye but we substituted sourdough! It comes with a side of cole slaw and potatoe salad which are both amazing! Me and my girlfriend a fries fiends so we ordered a half order and they were DELICIOUS! The owner, Jacqueline Canter, served us 2 complimentary sweet pastry that were also so yummy and she proceeded to tell us her own stories with different celebrities who have dined at this welcoming establishment! You can't go wrong stopping in. It feels as if you're walking straight into your family's place! Stop in for a quick bite from something at the counter, a date, or time with family! Its a great place for it all! Parking is free for 1 1/2 hours with validation for dining in or 30 mins with bakery/deli purchase!

Actually, as a Seth Rogen fan I heard him regularly talking about and endorsing the spot, so had to try it on visits when I was in town. Now that I've lived here over 6 years, I have been here many times. As a local, I really like it because there usually isn't a wait and I can usually get a parking spot in their small lot. I say usually for both pieces because this is LA, baby! We're unpredictable! Anything can happen. Keep in mind, this is NOT the main location with It definitely gives old school NY deli diner vibes with vinyl booths and decor. A bunch of movies and TV shows have filmed here, important conversations happen here all the time, They have all the Jewish comfort foods you could want here including some more diner style items. They're famous for their pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, pastrami reubens, matzo ball soup, egg salad sandwiches & latkes/potato pancakes. Esquire Mag says their monte cristo is a must try! I agree, as it comes on their challah egg bread and is just so darn decadent. I also love the Fairfax which is half pastrami and half corned beef so you get the best of both worlds, plus swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Russian dressing. Apparently the house-pickled pickles are a thing pickle lovers say are great. They have a bakery full of fresh items for carbmaxxing like black & white cookies (they're great here), breads like rye & the aforementioned challah and chocolate chip rugelach (kind of a cookie croissant hybrid). Interesting little bit, perhaps because they are adjacent to Kibitiz Room (a dive-ish bar with live music), they also have a full bar service. They're also on Goldbelly so you can get some eats shipped right to your door outside of LA!

Famous for its French dip sandwiches, Philippe's is a true LA institution. The sandwiches are simple, classic, and delicious, and the famous hot mustard definitely adds a kick! The cafeteria-style ordering, communal tables, and vintage atmosphere are all part of the experience. It's not fancy, and that's exactly what makes it special. There's something fun about visiting a restaurant that has been serving generations of Angelenos for over a century. Whether you're a local or just exploring LA's historic landmarks, Philippe's is definitely worth a stop. Good food, plenty of nostalgia, and a little piece of Los Angeles history!

I support small businesses especially on the WESTSIDE! Plenty of parking and wonderful people behind the counters!!!

What looks like an intimidating ordering situations was actually really easy. I think I was expecting a NYC style service counter where you get yelled at if you don't know exactly what you want, but the staff was so nice and helpful. My wife and I split the whole turkey sub with mild peppers and American cheese, no pickles. The bread was great--a little on the crusty side, but otherwise very flavorful. All of the veggies and meat were very fresh, and the experience was cool over all. You grab a ticket at the counter, wait for them to call your number, then you order and step back while they make yours and a handful of others at the same time. I grabbed some chips and drinks while I waited, which only took 5 minutes or so, then paid at the front (cash or debit only) and enjoyed our lunch at one of the outdoor tables. I'll definitely be back to try the meatball sub, which I eyed somebody else eating and immediately wanted a taste. I'll probably grab a turkey sub, too, while I'm at it.
