"We always hope that reboots are as good as the one the people behind Mizlala pulled off at this historic walk-up window in West Adams. Johnny's Pastrami combines everything you want in an old-school deli stand (a fast food-style menu, exceptional pastrami, life-affirming matzo ball soup) with nice touches like serving their sandwiches on Tartine marble rye. We particularly love the French Dip pastrami, which is about as thick as a football and perfect to split. Johnny’s also owns the bar right next door, which means you can bring food from the restaurant to their string-lit patio and start the night with a round of cocktails." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
