Langer's Delicatessen - Beyond the Legendary Pastrami... Corned Beef Hash, Matzo Ball Soup and Lamb Shanks?

@Chowseeker1999 instead of the 19 like most people go for, I like ordering something completely different when I go. Even with a packed house, I looked around and think I was the only one eating a turkey sandwich. The coca cola machine is watched far more carefully than a lot of restaurants around town, so that it’s fizzy and nice. The fries are really good too. That lengua sandwich sounds wonderful. I’m a big fan of chopped liver myself.

Hi @Dropkicku,

Thanks for the info on Aardvark. Sounds wonderful.

I’ll have to try their Turkey next time, interesting. We love the #27 (Chopped Liver & Egg Salad Sandwich) which is a great combination as well. If you like Lengua, I think you’ll enjoy Langer’s take on a great Beef Tongue Sandwich.

OMG. I would have eaten my screen if I could. Their hot pastrami on rye (with added mustard) is my everything. With the streets being so empty, a trip to Langer’s from West LA doesn’t seem so crazy. I can even get the tuna melt for my pescatarian husband.

Hi @chowumla,

You’re welcome. Yes, Langer’s is wonderful! And even more convenient nowadays. It took us only ~17 minutes from the Westside to Langer’s nowadays with no traffic. So good!

@Chowseeker1999 Can you please kindly post a few more pictures? I really like pictures.

The more the merrier.

Do you think you could have included more captiousness?

Any body ever order the lamb shanks? I have never been there . But walking up to the counter preparing for hours on end . Pastrami on rye please .And at that split second I blurt out . The lamb shanks please. That would be my first go to .

[Chowseeker1999]

Hi @Emglow101,

Yup, see my 1st post above. We ordered the Lamb Shanks before and thought they were pretty solid.

[Gr8pimpin]

Thanks for the reminder.

I’d have to do regular pastrami and a pastrami reuben. Damn!

Yep, this is the time for me to do it! There was no line to park out front for curbside?

What, do you call when you get there order and wait? I’ve never done curbside anything LOL!

Yep, Gr8pimpin is a curbside virgin.

FTC Confession… I’ve never had a Langer’s sandwich inside Langer’s.

[Hungrydrunk]

Awesome! We love the tuna melt! I’m gonna have to take break from working from home and order some food for curbside dining.

Thanks for reminding me to eat some Langer’s

Hi @Gr8pimpin,

There were 2 cars ahead of us, but you can park all along the front side of Langer’s (most of the little storefronts are closed / not busy, so the street was empty).

You can call first and see how busy they are (they told us it’d take about 15 minutes), so when we were about 15 minutes out or so, we called in the order. They ask for your car’s make & model so they can keep an eye out for it.

Then you just pull up front. (If you want to make doubly sure they know you’re there, you can just redial them again and let them know you’re in front.)

I hope you enjoy your visit.

Hi @TheCookie,

!

When this all clears up, definitely try dining in Langer’s once at least. Wonderful, old timey feel. (And if you didn’t know they have Free Parking just 1 block away on the corner of 7th & Westlake.

[ebethsdad]

I did as well. Thank you @PorkyBelly for adding an interesting word to my vocabulary!

And thank you @Hungrydrunk for the great recommendation on the Tuna Melt! So glad there’s another great dish to enjoy at Langer’s.

@Dropkicku

I’m not even quite sure what ‘carrot miso’ is.

Out of curiosity I emailed them to ask. They ferment carrots with buttermilk and chiles. No soy, so it’s weird to call it “miso.”

[Dropkicku]

Thank you @robert for checking with them! I was curious too. @NewTrial @Omotesando

So it’s carrot quote ‘miso’. Maybe it was the fermentation plus buttermilk that was getting to him.

OMG, that corned beef rueben has eluded me to this day! I must rectify this injustice.

Don’t sleep on the #6 add sunny side up egg! Another winner in the already loaded arsenal of Langer’s.

Thanks for the update boss!

[chewchow]

My fave is hot beef tongue #19 style. Aces!

Hi @A5KOBE,

! You’ve never had Langer’s corned beef reuben? Definitely give it a try next time.

What’s in the #6? Thanks for the recommendation.
