Their parking lot is easy to find but might get crowded if you go later in the day. We went around 12pm and we only had to wait a few minutes for a spot to open up. The wait to get a table was only about 20 minutes. It went by fast and staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. Once inside we ordered the #19, pastrami French dip, chili cheese pastrami fries, and a grilled cheese kids meal. Everything came out delicious. My son preferred the French dip and my husband preferred the #19. I liked both. If you want to compare this to Katz I would say it’s on par but more balanced because it has the coleslaw. I definitely prefer their rye bread over the bread at Katz’s. The crust is crunchy and the bread is fluffy and soft. We go here sporadically but we heard that when the owner retires they’re going to close so we’re making more of an effort to go more often.

People say this place has the best pastrami EVER. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their iconic pastrami sando number 19. It came on perfectly soft, pillowy rye bread with a still crispity crunchy crust, sweet crunchy fresh coleslaw, tangy Swiss cheese and Russian dressing that all helped to balance out that beautifully thick hand cut rich umami savory tender pastrami. Pure deliciousity. Even though it’s expensive Lowkey might be the best sando in LA cuz this place is pretty good.

Overall ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
Environment ⭐
The restaurant itself is fine, but the surrounding environment is rough.
There are homeless people everywhere, and if this weren’t takeout, I honestly wouldn’t feel comfortable parking on the street and sitting down to dine.
Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ordered several sandwiches, they were excellent.
• Pastrami Sandwich ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The rye bread had a subtle caraway aroma that I really liked.
The smoked pastrami was rich and intensely peppery. It was a bit fatty for my personal preference, but I understand the ratio is intentional and part of what makes it work.
What really stood out was the coleslaw in the middle—paired with the Russian-style dressing, it cut through the richness perfectly and kept everything balanced.
Will I come back?
Yes—but daytime pickup only.

Hubby is a big fan on pastrami sandwich and we tried Langer’s on our last trip to LA.
The restaurant itself is okay, but the surrounding neighborhood was not pleasant.
We went on a weekday for lunch and it’s definitely a busy joint. The service was fast and the pastrami is pretty good. Although hubby still think Katz in NYC is better, but I think the smokey & beefy flavor brisket which melts in your mouth is very comparable to Katz.

I was stranded near LAX due to flight issues and used DoorDash to deliver my sandwich and salad. Everything was fresh and good experience with delivery. Don’t recommend getting a sandwich with coleslaw, as the bread was a tad soggy.

What an iconic place! We finally had the chance to come down and try this iconic diner. It’s been here almost 80 years and is a staple of one of the best pastrami sandwiches you’ll ever have. Food was top notch and you can see why it’s won so many accolades. Service was excellent, you have to wait to be seated, fast service, community ambience with people from all the city of LA. Truly an amazing experience! We’ll be back!

Wonderful overall experience, the food was top notch. I highly reccomend their #19 although the #44 is also good. Their latkes are very crispy well done and the atmosphere is great. I also really loved their lemon coconut cake.

Off the charts #19! Have to give praise to Langers for the quality, consistency, and longevity. The pastrami on twice baked rye with mustard and coleslaw is not to be changed or modified. Don’t mess with the classic. You may open a worm hole that ends reality. Place is dated. Location is not the best. But keep in mind you’ve entered where many have before and there is a reason why people come here. It’s that good. Try the desserts from the carousel. The staff is friendly true humans. So tip well.

This place is an absolute gem. Their pastrami sandwich is truly something special—one of the best you’ll ever eat. I usually get mine with mustard, and it’s consistently amazing. I’ve also tried it with coleslaw a few times, and it was really, really, really good. The bread they use is fantastic too; it ties everything together perfectly.
I’ve also had their matzo ball soup, which is simple but really good—nothing over the top, just a comforting, well-made classic.
Service is impressively fast. Every time I order, my food is ready within just a few minutes. The place itself has a great old-school vibe, the kind of spot that feels like it’s been around forever—in the best way. I believe they’ve been in business for 60 or 70 years, and it really shows in the quality and character.
Overall, it’s a special place and absolutely worth a visit if you love a great pastrami sandwich.
