Eater: The 38 Essential Los Angeles Restaurants, Winter 2020
We are proud and honored to be named once again to Eater’s prestigious 38 Essential Los Angeles Restaurants for the Winter 2020 Edition.
Yes, the No. 19 pastrami sandwich is an amazing sandwich, but the pure pastrami on house-based rye is simplicity at its best. There’s a reason why people make pilgrimages to try this place’s pastrami and even corned beef: There is no better version anywhere in town. Pro tip: Try the No. 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 in one of the best daytime dining rooms in town.
Thanks to all at Eater for their continued support of Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant.
Pure Wow: The Best Soups in Los Angeles
Thanks to PureWow.com for including us in their interesting and colorful list of “Best Soups in Los Angeles”:
This Jewish deli really cares about us. Know how we know? ’Cause it’ll fill up a mason jar with its golden broth and chewy dumplings, and run it out to the curb for us to take back to the office. No spills + major convenience = soup heaven.

Food & Wine: America’s Best Delis
We are honored to be named to Food & Wine’s “America’s Best Delis” list at #15:
Langer’s doesn’t stray from the classic Jewish-deli template, but it does nearly everything better than most. The most famous creation is the #19: a hot pastrami, coleslaw and Swiss cheese on rye. The sandwich is so good that Nora Ephron once immortalized it in the pages of the New Yorker.
Smokin’ Chokin’ and Chowing with the King: Eating BIG in Los Angeles
Thanks to King for visiting us and for his great writeup!
First time visit to me for this legendary Los Angeles deli. You know what that means?!?! The #19. Langer’s opened in 1947 so it’s been a fixture of LA pretty much forever. It’s a classic Kosher style deli that’s catered to all the stars as well as the common man in need of matzo ball soup and pastrami. Langer’s isn’t the oldest deli in town but it’s probably the most well known. The type of spot that’s been around so long it has it’s own parking lot. It’s neighborhood surroundings reflect that of the deli. It feels like a previous era. I don’t know how long the employees inside have been working there but my guess would be 20+ years for most of them. I love spots like this. When it comes to deli meats LA is first and foremost a pastrami city. That’s what I’d guess 8 out of 10 people are at Langer’s for in some form or another. I had to make my first visit the #19 since that’s their most popular sandwich. It’s their best in-show pastrami with Swiss cheese, Russian dressing, and cole slaw on rye. I thoroughly enjoyed this sandwich though next time I’ll request slaw on the side.
Pastrami chili cheese fries at Langer's DeliCerritos College Talon Marks: Gordita Eateries: Langer’s Delicatessen
Rebecca Aguila, online editor for Cerritos College’s Talon Marks newspaper/website, recently paid a visit to Langer’s Delicatessen:
This isn’t a normal pastrami sandwich that is pre-packaged or shredded thinly; this is a sandwich a person must come in with a mighty appetite for a monstrous delight.
Pastrami sandwiches is something that are not very common in Los Angeles due to the popularity of bacon-wrapped hot dogs and street tacos. These sandwiches provide an experience outside of the typical spots that normal everyday people bring in.
The most popular item on their menu is the original #19 which is hand-cut hot pastrami with a thick layer of coleslaw in a Russian dressing. The Swiss cheese is then added on top of the meat.
It’s such a gorgeous sight to see when the cheese melts and acts like a bubbly blanket over the layers of flavorsome pastrami.
