Mike's Deli is a LA classic. I've lived here all my life and this was my first ever visit. This deli absolutely lives up to the hype! Expect a line when you arrive but the staff moves pretty quickly. You order at the counter and once your order is ready you pay upon pick up along with any items you picked up from the store. They had plenty of drink and chips options as well as desserts! It's take out only, so there is no area to sit and dine in. I am sensitive to gluten so I opted for one of their salads. The man taking my order recommended the Boss Salad and I went with that with a Cesar dressing. It was fire! The chicken was abundant and the "boss sauce" they used on it was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The portion size is huge! This could be 2 or 3 servings for sure. Overall, my experience was great and I will absolutely be back!

Turkey Sandwich
Denzel L.

Glad to see this classic still standing strong! Very nostalgic, I used to come here after school and get sammiches for dinner. The service was flawless. The ambiance is that of a deli meets a corner store/bodega. Hella options from the proteins, cheeses, sides and drinks.

I did a taste test before I left.

Got "The Club" (no pickles, golden turkey instead of honey maple turkey, sourdough bread). Good sized sandwich and tasty too. Service was friendly and prompt. I did not have any issues with parking. However, the parking spaces were narrow.

This place is amazing, very wide selection of sandwiches, salads, chips, drinks, desserts, truly a gem in Los Angeles. Hands down one of the best sandwiches and salad places, everything is fresh, the staff are amazing and super friendly and helpful, and ambiance is a modern delicatessen filled with more options that your stomach can handle. Make this your next stop for a truly amazing meal!

Nail in food. Bit down on it...

I've been to Mike's once before and my experience was great previously. Even this current time the food was great and very tasty, however this was an unforgivable experience as in today's boss chicken salad I found a literal metal nail in my food. I discovered it after having bit down on something hard in which I immediately knew was not anything edible. Thankfully I didn't bite down hard enough to cause any injury. Their food's great, but this was unexplainable.

Sweet & Spicy lettuce wrap
Esther L.

I love the lettuce wraps at Mikes. Been eating at Mikes in between the downtown and slauson location for probably almost 10 years now. The combinations are endless and the meats are fantastic. The lettuce wraps are HUGE and so filling. I love the crunch of the lettuce. They're well wrapped and don't fall apart. They hold up like a regular sandwich. Mikes is a classic for a reason!

Kisha L.

I Love this sandwich place they have a wide variety of sandwiches, salads, etc. Service is always on point and the place is cute and trendy. Very spacious inside and fully stocked of everything, sodas, desserts, potato chips, etc. I ordered the barbecue roast beef sandwich on sqaw bread and it was amazing. This was my first time trying the roast beef and it did not disappoint. Note: Parking can be difficult at times.

Ready to go.
Renee P.

I wish this location delivered. The place is clean, and the staff is friendly. I ordered the Chicken Salad sandwich on Squaw bread. It's not the typical Chicken Salad sandwich; the chicken is chopped rather than shredded. The sandwich was good, but not what I expected. Next time, I will get the tuna.

Turkey Sandwich
Karissa L.

I've been on an epic search for an East Coast-style deli. After living in NYC and moving back to Los Angeles, I've learned that LA folks are not exactly big sandwich people. Most establishments offer limited bread or toasting options, a single sad mustard, minimal spicy peppers, and are stingy with the meat. Enter Mike's Deli, where I finally found a true NYC bodega turkey and Swiss (my go-to); this sandwich is thicc in all the right ways. It's definitely more grab-and-go ambiance as there is no seating, but it's practical and the service was great. My sandwich was less than $14, lower than the average I've found in LA. The parking lot is unfortunately pretty small, so I sometimes park on the east side of the Home Depot lot and walk over... but don't tell anyone I said that.

Sweet Thing - Cold
Sarah K.

Not surprised this place is always slammed with business, and has a very high review score. Came here frequently when worked nearby years ago, and just revisited recently - the quality and value is just superb. I got a Sweet Thing - Cold sandwich with honey turkey and honey ham, and a few veggie modifications on french bread. Large, delicious and satisfying; enjoyed it over the course of two meals. Also got some curly fries with buffalo sauce/toppings which were a little bit soggy but the sauce was so good, I didn't care. When I came here regularly, the salads were reliably fresh and delicious, with generous topping portions. It's worth the parking battle. Props to the highly efficient team for consistently creating deliciousness!

Jesus M.

If you wanna try a different sandwich shop try this place out. With numerous options from hot and cold cuts A wider variety of chips and drinks than your local gas station you will definitely find your perfect drink and chip combo with your sandwich. The meats and cheeses are displayed up front. Even though this place is a go to for a lot of people, their service is fairly quick. Even with a long line you can still get your sandwich pretty fast.

Classic Club
Laina P.

I've been coming here for years. I've only ordered their sandwiches, but I'm sure the other food is just as tasty. The parking lot sucks for the amount of traffic they receive, but the food is food enough to find a park, walk down the street a little bit and make it happen. Staff are always friendly and attentive. Even though they can get crowded, they have a good amount of staff and do their best to get you out of there as quickly as they can. This is a pick up only joint. No seating inside. Huge variety of food items, snacks, chips, beverages, whatever you desire. While the cost of everything is up, I appreciate that they still give you a good amount of meat on your sandwich. Sandwiches have consistently been a 10/10 for me!

Hella chip options here
Camille W.

Just came here for the first time but it won't be my last. This deli is surprisingly much bigger than I thought. Their selection of chips and drinks rivals that of any 711 or convenience store. The staff here are friendly and incredibly hardworking, especially Miette and Mike himself. Miette, you have such a genuinely positive and helpful attitude. The sandwiches are piled high with Boar's Head meat, which is what you want in a deli sandwich. So much so that some of it fell out when I was eating. YUM. Parking can be challenging and I may park at the nearby park up the street and walk down. Come say hi to Mike and watch him doing what he loves.

My belly very happy!!!

It did not disappoint, Roberto O. took my order and he pretty much suggested what to get as far as a sandwich (based upon my restrictions) and the chips that would complement the sandwich. He recommended the Firebird sandwich and the Funky cushion chips (which is a mixture of salt/vinegar, mesquite BBQ, etc.). After receiving my order, I wanted to view the sandwich and take a bite. I was parked in the 15 minute parking space and one bite turned into eating half the sandwich and bag of chips in my car! I'm very picky about sandwiches and sandwich spots, but this is my new go-to!

But as we have become accustomed to specifying all aspects of a sandwich (or a burger or a pizza or a Chipotle bowl), customization is not part of the experience here as substitutions are discouraged (the menu says that substitutions are 'declined'). There's only one bread (Dutch crunch, which is fine; not too crunchy so you don't tear up the top of your mouth). The sandwiches have a manufactured look to them, kind of squished almost like a panino. Bread was fresh. Their version of the Reuben was, I thought, a little off ('Ruben's Cousin') - didn't notice the Russian dressing and the sauerkraut was not prominent either, and as described it's pastrami instead of corned beef. The overwhelming flavor was whole mustard, I really thought it might have been better with yellow mustard or none but...no customization. I would try again, not bad, but not a destination.

Wow..... I can't believe I haven't heard of this place being so close to us…read more Today, I got the breakfast burrito with turkey sausage for our son, it was hefty. I also got the morning bun. My son loved the burrito and commented that the potatoes were so much better than a lot of other places that use hash browns, but let me tell you... that morning bun with the cream cheese was superb! It started off with a slightly crunch layer and then it got softer and softer, and gooey in the middle, it was perfect. That cream cheese was not what I was expecting, it was crazy better, it was so light light and airy. The balance of sweetness was exactly how I like it. There's a few things I observe when trying somewhere new. I look at the interactions between people and also packaging. I've found that how you pack your food also is a telltale sign how you feel about your food. They did not disappoint. While waiting for my order other customers were coming to pick up orders and I could tell that the staff and customers were genuinely familiar with each other, lol I actually felt left out because it was like watching friend visiting each other and I just happen to be there. It gave me great vibes. This place deserves everyone's try. I was set to go back again today, but they're closed on Mondays. Definitely going back this week to get a sourdough loaf, and maybe a little treat too.

The folded egg sandwich is phenomenal, but the real game-changer is adding their house-made turkey sausage. I tried it once, and now it's hard to order anything else. It's packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and easily one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had. The pastries are just as impressive. I had a seasonal peach Danish that was incredible, and the peach monkey bread with vanilla glaze was absolutely out of this world. Thankfully I had a couple of people to share it with, because otherwise I probably would've eaten the whole thing myself. The coffee is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is warm and tucked away from the hustle, and you can tell they care about every detail. One thing many people may not realize is that their brioche buns are so good they're featured at other popular neighborhood restaurants. Great food. Great coffee. Great people. Every visit reminds me why this place has earned a permanent spot on my list. If you're anywhere near Inglewood, do yourself a favor and stop by. You'll probably be planning your next visit before you leave.

Ricotta & Jam Toast This speaks for itself. Just a yummy combination. Avocado Toast Comes thickly layered with chunky avocado bits and elegantly layered with the almost translucently sliced thin circled radishes that is decorated in a beautiful row on top...delish!

I ordered an avocado toast with scrambled eggs on top and my friends got a fat pita and smoked salmon toast. I was pretty shocked by the sticker price of $3 for an extra egg but desperately wanted some protein. The avocado toast tasted great, the sourdough bread was thick and well toasted, the avocado was well seasoned giving the fat a nice balance of salt and acid. The one odd thing was all the drinks we ordered came in glass with large cracks in them. They looked a bit risky to drink out of since it looked like it could shatter if you're not careful. Luckily the servers were really nice and replaced them for us. We had a great time overall, but I just think it's a bit pricey for what you're getting.

I ordered two smoothies, one for me and one for my son: #17 and #31 IN STORE on Saturday, 9/19/26. As you continue reading, please keep the words "in store". When I ordered, the staff asked for my name and phone number. I thought it was a little strange that they needed my phone number since they call your name over the mic when your order is ready, but okay. They were busy, so I prepared myself to wait patiently. No biggie. But then I started noticing SEVERAL people who ordered way after me getting their names called and picking up their smoothies. That's when I was like, "Oh heck no, something ain't right!" After waiting about 15 minutes, I finally walked up to the pickup counter and asked when my name was going to be called. I gave the young lady my name, and she first looked over at the smoothies being made, thinking maybe mine was in the process. When she realized it wasn't, she checked the screen and asked, "Was it a phone order?" Nope! I told her I stood right there in line and ordered in person, and I had already watched several people who came in after me get their smoothies. She then looked in the freezer, pulled out ONE smoothie and said, "They had you as a phone order." Now I'm even more irritated because I ordered TWO smoothies. I told her I was supposed to have two, so she opened the freezer again and pulled out my second smoothie. So both of my smoothies had apparently just been sitting in the freezer while I was standing there waiting for my name to be called. I know the mistake wasn't necessarily the young lady's fault, but what bothered me even more was that there was no apology. Not even a simple, "Sorry about the mix-up." Moving into the neighborhood, I was genuinely excited about having this place nearby and supporting the establishment. Unfortunately, after today's experience, I don't think I'll be back. Maybe reconsider asking for a phone number when someone is physically standing in the store ordering, or have a clearer system for distinguishing in-store orders from phone orders. Because waiting patiently while your smoothies are sitting in a freezer the entire time is definitely frustrating.
