Valley institution since 1967 stacking house-cured black pastrami on rye—the pepper-coated cut that regulars compare favorably to Langer's downtown. Mile-high sandwiches, matzo ball soup, and a 555 combo define the menu. Zagat, LA Magazine, and LA Times have all named it #1 deli in Los Angeles at various points; the outdoor mall parking lot eliminates Valley parking anxiety.
