| About: | In this busy downtown neighborhood, people line up daily to enjoy some of the best New York style deli favorites. The decor is pure 60s retro and the eatery attracts many local judges and lawyers. Food here is non-kosher and it sells more pastrami than any other venue in L.A. Tables are scarce, so folks wait patiently for the chance to sit and enjoy the fabulous fare. Curb service is available, and popular as well. Best bets are the egg breakfasts, pastrami or corned beef sandwiches and brisket or lamb shank. A parking lot is available, which is helpful in this busy area. Beer and wine are available. |

I've been an off and on customer of Langers Deli for over 52 years. The old mister and mrs. passed on and their senior son runs the business. Norm Langer is rather rude at times, and does not take well to criticism. Why can I buy soup from Yoshinoya but I can't get soup before 10am at meat slinging Langers? Langers is not the place for any self respecting Jew because it is NOT KOSHER to serve meat with milk products(#19)etc.
The waiters and watresses with few exception have a new york two face. Like most KAPOS, norm likes his goy employees more than a real Jew. I found egg shells in the matzah ball soup and the food you eat (anywhere) must be srutinized. Take apart your sandwich before you bite into it and don't wolf down the stuff. I always ask them to bag the rest so as not to get a cardiac attack; the food can put you out. No joke, it can give you an instant sroke.
Best pastrami I've ever had, and I don't even like pastrami that much!!
The calculations for your total, aren't always done correctly, or well for that matter. However, it's definitely worth a extra dollar and get fresh food. It's always packed during lunch, and yes, it's in a ghetto neighborhood, but everyone should know by now: to get good food, you have to go somewhere shady in town... as if you've never been to a hole-in-the-wall place you liked (?).
Probably the oldest kosher style deli in Los Angeles. They close at 4.00pm as all the Yidin moved West !! ;)
