Strictly Food Reviews

"*Help!* a ginormous tender matzoh ball has landed in my bowl!!  Oh right, I ordered it that way!  Skinny little noodles and traditional rich chicken broth make this the best!  I love this so much."
- Yelp Review

"Pastrami with coleslaw and russian dressing - stacked with meat and taller than my jaw will open without some kind of sadistic-looking metal device, I have to smash this into my mouth to get a bite!"
- Yelp Review

"The BBQ beef is a standout. Thick chunks of beef in flavorful sauce bursting out of a tasty onion roll. A sloppy but delicious mess."     
- Yelp review by Drew B. Culver City, CA

"Call me crazy (or simple), but I LOOOVE me some Junior's.  I adore their pancakes and my husband could eat a pound of the hash browns."
- Yelp Review by Rachel S. Los Angeles, CA


"We live down the street from Junior's, and I love their food. Their macaroni and cheese is divine, while not "fancy" (there are no breadcrumbs, no fancy cheeses, no gourmet ingredients), their combination of what I kind of recognize as cheddar, american (for the easy melting factor, I believe), and cottage cheese (you can see the curds in the dish, as well as tasting a tang that is recognizable as cottage cheese- and I also asked the server who confirmed my cheesy suspicions) is a remarkable combination, one that leaves me craving more after my dish has been licked clean. While it's not uncommon for kids to adore mac and cheese, my daughter is a huge fan of Junior's version of it, and the lack of bread crumbs and a hard baked cheese topping make it easier for her to eat (she's two), and although much more expensive than the blue boxed bargain mac and cheese, at least I know what's in it- and it isn't Red #4 or whatever."

Dine-in/Food Reviews

"Cucumber pickles and pickled green tomatoes and sauerkraut - the stuff that they bring to the table in a bowl, that's never-ending and so forking good with everything on the menu!"
- Yelp Review

"Little potato pancake bites - you can get a few with your sammich or order a side of them, that comes with sour cream and applesauce.  Either way, they're way better than any fries!"
- Yelp Review

"What do I love here?  This is what I love: Burger in an onion pocket - a huge burger, smothered with cheese and grilled onions and russian dressing. OMG.  With coleslaw or fries, or even just alone - because anything more on my plate will put me over the edge into I-Can't-Breathe-Land. Lox, bagels, cream cheese, with red onion, cucumber, lettuce, Kalamata olives - enough for 2 people to be stuffed on - need I say more? Chicken in a pot -  like a tureen of soup big enough for 3, with chicken, matzoh balls, noodles, rice and kreplach, and rye ends with butter.....ooof Potato knish - pastry baked with smashed potatoes inside, with gravy please!

So really, what's NOT to like about this place?"
- Yelp Review

"When I think of Jewish Deli, I think of Junior's...Jr's serves the best matzo ball soup.  And I love love the BBQ brisket sandwich and the french dip sandwich!  YUMMO!  The dill pickles rock!  Yes, I agree with the other reviews, it is a bit pricey.  But hey, you want to see an over priced deli, then go to Jerry's Deli!" 
- Yelp Review by TY D. Long Beach, CA

"Now when I'm sick, I'm craving for their matzo ball chicken noodle soup. It's something what my mother would make for me, if I'm sick. It has a good healthy flavor, not salty and very flavorful. The other good thing I had is (I don't remember name of it), a cabbage wrapped ground beef with a tad sweet tomato sauce. You should try this, this is so delicious.  Ah, and their blintz! is so lovely. It's like crepes, but better."
- Yelp Review by  Sophie G. Los Angeles, CA

Bakery Reviews

"The bakery has awesome Napoleons, fruit tarts with custard, slices of assorted cakes, mini bundt cakes (the lemon and chocolate are the best!), buttery rugelach (raspberry and chocolate chip ones are the best), super heavy hamentashen cookies with giant centers of fruity filling, HUGE cakey black and white cookies, and eclairs to kill someone over!"
- Yelp Review

"They have an awesome bakery that you need to check out on the way out of the restaurant."
- Yelp Review by TY D. Long Beach, CA

"Though feeling like I'm going to burst SHOULD deter me, I MUST venture into the bakery area before leaving every time.  At least I save this area for AFTER the meal!!"
- Yelp Review

"It's always a challenge for me to just get past the bakery case, to make my way into the restaurant.  Once I'm settled in to one of the comfy booths, I open the menu and am surrounded by comfort food options galore." 
- Yelp Review

Location/Environment Reviews

"Came with five people and were seated right away on a Friday night after the movies across the street at the Landmark Westside Pavillion. Our server was very attentive and brought refills and made sure everything is ok. Our meat was perfect and the service was friendly and prompt. Having ate at Factors, Nate and Als and Cantors this is as good as the other delis in my opinion. I will definitely return here whether before or after a movie."
- Yelp Review by Daniel O. Saratoga, CA

"I'm a major deli-aholic - I could eat here 7 days a week - and the easy parking in their own lot just seals the deal for me!"
- Yelp Review

"I also love the feel of the place, old school and homey. You can all take your fancy croissants, I'll be in my favorite little booth at Junior's, snuggled up and drowning my weekly troubles in syrup."
- Yelp Review by Rachel S. Los Angeles, CA

Breakfast Reviews

"I gave this place five stars for the French toast."
- Yelp Review by The R. Santa Monica, CA

"An institution! When I arrive way too early for an appointment at UCLA, I used to grab breakfast here. Coz I've never been disappointed. This was before the arrival of yelp. I know! How were we able to manage?!?! Breakfasts here was never disappointing. A great standby.  Try their pastrami!!!!!"
- Yelp Review by Kislev A. Granada Hills, Los Angeles, CA

General Reviews

"Junior's is by far my favorite deli in the universe.  I was deeply saddened
by the passing of Marvin Saul.  Thank you, Mr. Saul, for this deli."
- Yelp Review by Rebecca H. Los Angeles, CA

"Great Food, Great Service, and a shoe shine afterwards. Can't beat it." 
- Yelp Review by Michael D. Los Angeles, CA

Deli Reviews

"They also have an easy to-go area of tempting looking hot food (the mac & cheese and stuffed cabbage tempts me even when I'm full!)."
- Yelp Review

Catering/To-Go Reviews

"The best potatoe latkes( pancakes) around. I usually order them here for Hannukah parties. Junior doesn't skimp on the meat in the sandwiches here. That is a very good thing, especially if you are looking for 1/2 pound of very good meat to consume." 
- Yelp Review by Sophie P. Los Angeles, CA
