    Cheesesteak wit onions
    Joann V.

    3.4 stars I was at the office again and decided to try the philly cheesesteak here. I think it's above average. It is definitely a family business and they seem very sweet. The establishment is definitely no-frills. I ordered the cheesesteak wit onions and American cheese and whiz fries ($7). I don't remember how much the sandwich was, but the total plus tax came out to $25-something. The price point isn't great, but the portions are huge. I think my least favorite item is the whiz fries...it was just too salty for me. Seating is all outdoors. I parked right outside their door and $1 in the meter bought me 40 minutes, which was enough time to order, pay, and eat. It's alright and worth a try.

    Hard to find a decent cheesesteak in LA and South Philly Experience provides a solid option. They also had a Strawberry Cream Dr. Pepper, which I hadn't tried before. Definitely a to go spot even though there's seating outside.

    Philly Cheesesteak

    I love me some Philly Cheesesteak. This is literally the closest to actual Philly. I hate that it's so far away but when in town, I try to make my way around. Service is great and friendly. Definitely need to sit down and enjoy this as it's a pretty good size.

    Onions in the cheesesteak. I requested no onions.

    I don't usually write reviews like this but this was really disappointing. I placed my order on Postmates. My Order: - Cheesesteak w/ Sharp Provolone and Hot Cherry Peppers (No Onions) - Whiz Fries The cheesesteak came full of onions which I cannot eat and I think they completely forgot to add salt to the meat because it was completely flavorless and dry. I ended up eating about a 1/4 of the sandwich and had to throw it out. The only positive was that they use good bread for the sandwich. The Whiz Fries were okay. Similar to other whiz fries I've ordered from other places. As someone who orders Philly Cheesesteaks from all around LA, this was disappointing. Hopefully someone at the business will read this and make sure they are more careful with the orders. Maybe without onions and with some salt, this could have been a completely different experience.

    10/10, no notes. I got the Italian sandwich with everything on it. Amazing. My boyfriend got the cheese steak fries. Amazing. And they're super nice, rarely do you get a shop in LA with such great hospitality, they have everything down right. Seating, food, hospitality. So good.

    Cheesesteak

    So I recently had the south Philly experience. I can't speak too much to the service cause I got a DoorDash but when I got to it was fresh it was on time so that was really great. I want to start with the sweet chili wings because I didn't know what to expect from them, but they are so delicious so saucy so juicy they were tremendous no critiques no notes highly recommend . This is one of the cheesesteaks that I've had in California. You know a lot of places claim they have great cheesesteaks, but let me tell you something about South Philly experience has a pretty good cheesesteak on their hands. Nice juicy steak tender the meat well season and the portions on it are phenomenal . The bread was nice soft chewy like from soaking in the cheesesteak delicious I would 100% order from here again. The honey mustard also surprised me because I'm a big honey mustard guy, and their honey mustard had all the right flavors in there. I couldn't tell you what it was but delicious. Also, their hot sauce is very interesting cause I don't know what it is, but it's very tasty.

    Roasted Pork Italian
    Richard O.

    I first heard of the roast pork italian sandwich on a TV show called "Man vs Food." It's a popular sandwich in Philly, not as famous as the cheese steak sandwich, but according to "Man vs Food" roast pork sandwich is just as good. I was planning to go to Tony Luke's Philly sandwich in Las Vegas because I heard they had the roast pork sandwich. Recently, on instagram, I found out this location had the roast pork sandwich. Eventually, I will go to Tony Luke's in Las Vegas, but today I decided to come here with my brother. We ordered 2 roast pork sandwiches, and one order of fries. We were about to buy 2 orders of fries, but the owner said one order is enough for 2 people. One order of fries is $6, and the owner was right, the amount was more than enough for 2 people. I'd say, it was enough for 3 people, because my brother and I couldn't finish it. As for the sandwiches...The roast pork is either the 2nd best sandwich in Los Angeles or even the best sandwich in Los Angeles. The only sandwich I think maybe better is the Langer's Pastrami. However, the roast pork is cheaper and bigger than Langers. The roast pork is very juicy, not just tender. I'm guessing it's made with soaking marinade, because the bread was slightly wet. The experience left me in awe. Would definitely come back for the cheese steak.

    Cheesesteak with whiz, onions, and banana peppers is elite. I also ordered the Italian hoagie, it was huge! I placed an order online for pick up. Walked in and grabbed my order that was ready and waiting. So good.

    Great place to grab a quick sandwich. I was actually quite surprised at how large the sandwich is. The overall the Philly cheesesteak with cheddar, onions and hot peppers was delicious. The reason why I'm giving four out of five stars is because I think they don't have any hot sauce available like other places I've been. Also, the bread that my sandwich was served on was very cold on the outside, which I thought was very strange. The inside was very hot and the cheese was melting, but the bread was just very cold almost like it might've been frozen before? Service was fine, there is a lot of outdoor seating with umbrellas. No indoor seating.

    I've been to this place at least 20 times in the past two years! The food is so good. I've had the crab fries, Phillies, pasta salad ect everything's really good you can tell the ingredients are fresh! Great customer service too and cute outdoor seating!

    Cheesecake with cheese wiz. Great great choice.
    Daniel J.

    Saw the art on the wall and i had to stop. They have Really good helpful service. The cashier was super helpful. I decided to got with a cheesecake with cheese wiz. A great choice the bread was so soft but able to maintain all the cheese and meat. Meat wasnt chewy like this cut of meat can be. This was a great spot and one you need to swing by if your around.

    Food: 4.6/5 Service 4.7/5 Value 4.6/5 A truly great experience right on Pico. Both of the ladies working there were extremely nice and very appreciative of our business which felt really nice. They also had great recommendations which turned out to be great. Fried Ravioli - this was the most mediocre thing that we tried. I probably wouldn't get it again but it was still tasty. I think the main issue I had with it was that there wasn't enough cheese in the ravioli so it was quite flat. The spicy vodka sauce was great but that was the only part I would recommend. Cheesesteak - a great take on the classic. The meat was plentiful, the cheese was cheesy, and the peppers completed everything you would want in a cheesesteak. Meat Lover - A great alternate on a cheesesteak but is extremely heavy. This aligned well with everything I would want in a sandwich but I can understand if it's not for everyone. Very meaty, very dense, extremely flavorful. Strongly recommend if that's your vibe. Orange Cream Sickle- quite sweet so not for everyone but tastes perfectly like orange cream sickle ice cream from back in the day. It is a great counter balance to the sandwiches but again, very sweet so if you're sensitive to that, be wary!

    Fries with cheese wiz and marinara sauce
    Stephen P.

    My boy wanted a Philly cheese steak so we came here because the reviews led us here. The lady helped us order our delicious lunch and looked after us. My boy even asked if he could cook in the kitchen. We were recommended the classic Philly cheese steak with provolone cheese and a marinara meatball sub. The fries come with many topping choices, but we got cheese wiz and got a little serving of marinara sauce too. All good. My boy liked the meatball sub a lot. It was nice weather so we say outside on the tables and watched Pico Blvd passby. Lots of delivery drivers too as this place is popular.

    The Cheesesteak wit whiz (white American). This was good and probably the best I'll get in LA

I heard a sad story that the Boo's Philly Cheesesteaks Silver Lake location was shutting down (they currently had locations in Echo Park and Koreatown), so I felt I had to pay my last respects to a place I frequented when I first moved into the area over a decade ago. Like a Tommy's burger, I craved something horribly sloppy and bad for you in every possible way, and for a time this was my go-to especially since I was able to take a casual walk to it. I'm older now and not necessarily wiser, but my body just couldn't handle it as it once did. Founded by an immigrant South Korean family by way of New Jersey, they made their way to Los Angeles to try and fill a need for authentic real cheesesteaks that any Philadelphian would proudly say "legit". Would I boo their Philly-inspired cheesesteak efforts!? PURCHASE(S) Cheese Fries Large ($7.95): A decent portion size of golden crispy crunchy steaming spud sticks with a side of hot gooey Cheez Whiz, ideally you'd scatter out the fries and pour the cheese on top of them. I was lazy and simply dunked each one into the cheese. However, you ran into the issue of your cheese solidifying which made it harder to dip your fries into it. Lesson learned... https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=9sOf0rQzJW9CNmfKuc_Ujw Boo's Pepper Mushroom Cheesesteak w/Cheez Whiz Sandwich ($13.95): Served with thinly-sliced steak, grilled onions, mushrooms, sweet peppers, and your choice of cheese (of course I went with Cheez Wiz!) on an amoroso roll, this was a hot mess (in a good way!) of epic proportions. The sandwich was stuffed to the edges of dripping hot steaming ingredients that burned the inside of your mouth if you weren't careful. Everything basically congealed as it started to cool due to its exposure to the air. All of the flavors eventually melded together with the separate flavors present when you first started devouring it. This wasn't for the faint of heart, and you may regret having eaten this monstrosity when you woke up in the morning. It was worth it! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=iojHuknmyjcxgnClXJ6pyA SERVICE I approached the outside self-service order kiosk, placed my order, and in less than ten minutes a young gentleman appeared from inside with my order in hand as he called out my name. It was all quick and painless - thank you! PARKING (FREE): I luckily found a spot in their tiny lot (maybe six spots total). Otherwise, there appeared to be plenty of parking along the main drag of Fountain Ave. and all surrounding side streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE In its latest incarnation since the pandemic, it had become only an order kiosk system and no more indoor dining. There was a communal wooden bench outside if you wanted to enjoy your meal. However, it wasn't very inviting, and you were up against a very busy, loud intersection. There was plenty of natural lighting since you were outdoors with only the electric street lights to help you at night. There were no TVs nor background music with the exception of the buzzing vehicle traffic. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=zqh3hCvkdUmGekZj-SBHTg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL In my homage to Silver Lake's Boo's Philly Cheesesteak location, they were a wonderful piece of the neighborhood, still one of the best Philly cheesesteaks I've had outside of Philadelphia, and I always got my money's worth. The food wasn't healthy, but it did its job and tasted very good as it went down (coming out was a different story!). The prices were affordable and comparable, the portions were hefty, the menu selection was very limited, and the service was straightforward. .Plus, I always preferred to support small local mom & pop businesses. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $24.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

    Wow! What a gem!…read more Found this on my way home from work. It's a stand in the corner, mom and pop style. Food is delicious. Service is fast. They have a self order style counter where you buy and pay on a kiosk and then your order is made. At first, I thought is was a bit expensive but when eating the Philly cheesesteaks, I thought it was worth it. The size, the quality of the meat and cheese plus the toppings, chef's kiss! There's outside sheeting and a few parking spaces.

I was here on opening day when the hype was real, the wait was over an hour, and Michael B. Jordan even showed up. I've got the T-shirt to prove it (I'll dig it up). As I'm writing this, it's 11:39 PM, which is honestly the perfect time for one of these sandwiches--and look at that, they're open. That's kind of the point. This place shines late. A lot of the reviews that drag the rating down are straight-up delivery problems, not food problems. You're already paying more than a classic NYC bodega chopped cheese (which should be like $9), then you tack on delivery fees, then your DoorDash driver stacks orders, and by the time it gets to you... you're mad. And instead of being mad at the situation, people take it out on the restaurant. That's not on them. Here's a practical reason your tots aren't crunchy when you order delivery: the containers don't have ventilation holes. Steam builds up. Soft tots are inevitable. Either they start punching holes in every box, or you accept your fate ‍. This is another reason to eat it fresh. Inside, it's simple--walk up, order, wait. It looks like a bodega, just about ten dollars more. But if you're there in person, there's actual customer service. You can shoot the shit while your food's being made, get it hot, and eat it the way it's supposed to be eaten. Every time I've had this food the right way, I've either ordered in person or picked it up immediately. Do that, especially late at night, and this place absolutely delivers.

I really gotta respect their dedication to red meat and the holy art of cooking a damn good steak. This place is essentially what I'm looking for in a restaurant. Basically hits on all cylinders and checks off all the critical boxes. I don't want to sound all dramatic and such, but I'm dying to go back and try all the other items I didn't have, as well as check out the bar experience. I spoke to some locals outside before they opened, and they weren't just lovely -- they also painted a pretty picture of what the overall vibe is here. It's clear a lot of people in the Beverly Hills and Hollywood Hills area love coming here very frequently. Our server, who I assumed is named Nolan because that's what's shown on the receipt, was very accommodating, kind, and easy to talk to. I think he did a fantastic job dealing with my difficult, picky gf. Haha. I can't say anything was less than stellar. The croquettes in that celery purée stuff were phenomenal. Garlic bread was seasoned and baked to perfection. The bone broth sipper was nourishing af. French fries were perhaps the best I've had in years. Broccolini was fresh, high quality, and complimented the steak very well. I'm bummed we only got to try just the ribeye when it came to the cuts, but my gf did not want to order anything under medium or medium rare that night, so that was a bummer. It's her loss! The panna cotta was the creamiest sweet treat in all of LaLa Land. This is a great place, and it's a top-tier steakhouse. SoCal sometimes lacks places of this caliber that NY, Chicago, and SF / Napa have, but this place is a very close contender to some of the top cream-of-the-crop, steak-centered restaurants in the country.

I've been a frequent flyer of Boo's (since I'm over in Ktown) and also quite a few orders over the years from South Philly Experience and twice from Matu (but that's a major treat and honestly way overpriced). All of these have their own great bits about them and I love all these spots. This isn't going to be a "who's better than who" since each is different in their own right and hits the spot different ways. I got the sweet pepper steak on seeded roll with of course, Cooper's! Then I got a classic Italian hoagie (with Cooper's) loaded up double meat/cheese. Biiiiig bonus using Boar's Head meats too, top shelf stuff. The fact that they're using Cooper's is a major plus and can get a seeded roll is such a nice touch. I do love a classic Amoroso, but seeded with the cheesesteak and Cooper's gives Matu a run for its money (and saves my wallet). Of course the meat quality is very different due to Matu using Wagyu but let's be real, that's really what you're paying for there. It's a nice treat but not an every other day get your money's worth. I feel I've found my favourite cheesesteak now though! The roll is super fluffy and crunchy where it needs to be. That thing was swaddled like a cared for newborn when it arrived and still hot from Melrose. Absolute 9/10 for me. The Italian was properly loaded and as I sit here enjoying it, a nice zingy break between cheesesteak bites as I split them half and half for lunch. For speed I love some Boo's, for the grill char taste I love some South Philly Experience but overall for my favourite spot now, it's Philly's Best off Melrose. Matu again is a great quality cut treat but the wait, the cost and the amount you get is not really worth it. Will absolutely be ordering from this place again in the future!!

Cooper's gave a pleasant sharper flavor to the normal white American cheese. The finely chopped steak, mushrooms, onions, cheese, and peppers were very generous and cooked and melted to perfection. Everything was delicious and quite filling. If you are looking for a hearty Philly Cheesesteak fix, look no further. This family run business is friendly, imports their bread, cheese, snacks from Philly, and delivers with a fantastic taste of Philly. Definitely lives up to the name Philly's Best and is heaven for the taste buds! Highly Recommend!

    Note: this was ordered via Postmates…read more Are you off put by the reviews? Low ratings? Don't be! You need to try it to judge. I did an office order for a 13 people. I was worried that it was too many sandwiches on such short notice. I hesitated but ordered anyways and hoped for the best. I can't comment on the location but it's not too far from my building. On to the food! I ordered the Famous Figueroa Philly with cheese whiz. Although the sandwich was soggy, you have to understand that this is a hefty sandwich, plus it did travel 15 minutes to me. It was filled with a good amount of meat. I could used more peppers and onions but I could only eat half the sandwich. It was delicious with the cheese whiz. This is not your mall sandwich. The food was hot the fries were crispy and had fresh garlic. The food was absolutely delicious! It was so worth taking the chance. I called after I placed the order to ask for jalapenos because my boss wanted them. They did not skimp on them or ketchup or buffalo sauce or napkins....YOU WILL NEED NAPKINS. This is a juicy sandwich. I'll take a picture of the entire order. I let him know that it was a big order and that if it did take longer we would understand. I placed the order at 10:40 and it came at exactly the time stated on Postmates. 11:45. That is awesome! Icing on the cake...I noted names on each sandwich order and they actually wrote them on there....some places would've just let us guess.... Thank you! Overall this is a place you need to try.

    BEWARE EVERYONE. THIS RESTAURANT IS A SCAM AND THEY WILL TAKE YOUR ORDER EVEN THOUGH THEIR KITCHEN…read moreIS PERMANENTLY CLOSED. I placed my order through their website, everything showed that their business is OPEN and running, nothing wrong. I arrive to 358 W 38th St and realize it's a food hub (multiple restaurants in one location) I call the restaurant to confirm my order and pick up time and the disrespectful service was what really made me write this review. He answers and says that the restaurant is CLOSED DOWN. The kitchen is not open and he cannot help me by explaining if there is an alternative location which I can pick up my food, goes ahead and says by good faith he will give me a refund and he hangs up. I attempted to try to see if anyone was here, the place is EMPTY. I rang the ring bell camera, no answer. I called back just to have the same person hang up on me 4 more times without taking the time to ask for my information to issue a refund, HE WAS RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I clearly heard him taking an order while he was on the phone with me (he had me hold as soon as he answered) so why the unprofessional service? THIS IS A SCAM. There were more people in the parking lot trying to figure out how to get their food. This company should be ashamed of themselves for pretending to be in business and taking peoples money when they cannot provide a service. TO ALL ANGELENOS AND EVERYONE IN THE AREA MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE YOU ORDER THROUGH ANY WEBSITE OR SERVICE YOU WILL SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME AND DISAPPOINTMENT.

We…read morewere at first a bit overwhelmed by how much stuff came on the subs but there's also a classic deli portion of the menu if you're wanting something lighter. Servers were super helpful in deciding what to get! The banh mi was still a fat sandwich but on the slightly lighter side if that's what you want. I also really liked the beef dip - great flavor! Would pass on the fries next time and will definitely be back in a hungrier mood to try the fat sandwiches!

    TO quote the alt pop artist Slayyyter, "I love Hollywood!!!"…read more Fat Sal's Deli - Hollywood to be even more specific. This cool dim lit, artsy food hub isn't just any burger joint and deli, with some of my favorite guilty pleasure plant-based options. It's a sports bar, a late night haunt, a fun meet up, a lunch spot, a old fav in a newer space that's thriving in all the best ways. The Impossible Double Smash here was almost exactly the way I get it at my go to locations in Encino and Glendale. The service is super solid. They have a few beers on tap, slushie/blended cocktails and a solid selection for standard well drinks. You can enjoy an assortment of non-alcoholic beverages via their Coca-Cola freestyle machine or those iconic Fat Shake's, including possibly one of the best dairy-free versions you'll ever have. Thoughtful fries, tots and sides and an extensive digital menu that's available right next to the register. During the day it's a little more restaurant bar in feels, and typically busy with a great patio space and doors that open up to give it an open air tricked out garage meets lounge vibe. Have passed by a few times, typically one my way to work, but had time to actually dine in and really enjoyed my food and the ambiance. Tons of flat screens with various ongoings, music on the intercom. Place is fairly clean with all black decor and walls graced with great art. Located by the corner of Lexington and Highland with street, meter or garage parking available. Gender-neutral restrooms Great place for groups. Good bar seating as well as main space tall tables, booths and even a small lounge. Open 11 AM - 3 AM, every, single, day.

I am thankful to the family owned "Le Mejor Bakery" on Burbank blvd. They recommended I give this place a try as "Le Mejor" provides all the fresh bread for the sandwiches and tortas. Its an amazing thing tha Between these two families "Le Mejor" and "Phillycheesesteak & hoagie", they've been serving North Hollywood for over 80 years combined. That's phenomenal, thats legacy!!. Tasting The fresh bread paired with a perfectly cooked milanesa de pollo..crispy outside, tender inside and i wasnt just eating lunch....I was tasting history, heritage, and a family's American dream carried forward one order at a time....its uniqu experience these days,
