Been in So Cal since the '60's, grew up on the Hat's pastramis, double-dipped, extra pickles, and a side of aus just AND chile peppers that you bite the tip off and squeeze the juice onto EACH bite! Their gravy or chili fires are EPIC, too!!!
Canters Deli. Pastrami on Jewish rye. Love Johnnie’s a better roll than The Hat. Johnnie’s also served onion rings with yellow mustard, never had that before, that’s mega. Regardless I love all these places. Same with hamburgers and tacos, whatever spin these great people in the food business have, my hats off to them.
I do love Canter's. Lox and bagel.... Which Johnny's you talking about? The one on Adams or Sepulveda. The one on Adams used to be great when it was black owned and you got a pastrami so big it could be split into 3 sandwiches. Since the pandemic, it was closed for awhile and has changed hands. It is now a Jewish deli type place, which is not a bad thing, but nothing like their sandwiches used to be.
"The Hat is the In-N-Out of pastrami sandwich" pretty much nails it. It's hard to be the best for the best price but both those places manage it with total consistency. What perplexes me is why so many people love to hate them.
I haven't tried the other two, but I LOVE the Pastrami at The Hat. I grew up on Art's Delicatessen's pastrami and I find non-Jewish style Pastriimi sandwiches more to my liking. The Hat also serves you a ridiculous amount of fries in even the small order, and their Onion Rings are to die for as well. I recently found out there's at least one in Ventura County, in Simi Valley. Their burgers are pretty great too, and their Chili Burger is served with a fork and knife.
@rufusmedrano2962 I go to the one in Monterey Park off the 60 Freeway and Atlantic Blvd. I always get a Pastrami, extra packets of mustard, extra pickles on the side and some of those yellow chili peppers and a small drink. I know I can get a refill on my drink so no need to buy a large, lol.
Tried Johnnie's for the first time this summer and it was totally worth the drive. The hype is legit. Some of the most flavorful meat I've ever tasted.
Okay great video, I was introduced to an American greasy spoon type of pastrami in high school, I attended Montebello High School, and my best friend treated me to one at Arry’s! This was back in the late 70’s and I’d never tasted anything like it, it was huge and it was all mine! Of course as a teenager I had the appetite of a horse and I demolished it and was still hungry afterward. Try a Golden Ox pastrami, it’s located in Montebello also, just down the street from Arry’s actually. Thanks for sharing this video, it brought back a wonderful memory.
I like the pastrami at Tops. When I worked in Pasadena it was a favorite place to go and their zucchini fries are a great side. The bread is really soft at The Hat and their chili dogs and chili fries are so delicious!
😂 lol I've had the best food here and its not good. And I'm from here. We gotta take it to the southern food. Smh they dishes 🤦 💯 u need a southern to cook the food here 😂. To change up taste buds
Growing up in Pico Rivera in the 70s, Omega Burger on Whittier Blvd had the best pastrami dip sandwiches, extra pickles, extra mustard. And an order of onion rings that came in a old school lunch brown bag, double bagged for the grease absorption.
Not to far away from Johnnie's in Culver City is Sorrento's Italian Deli. It's on Sepulveda near Jefferson. My favorite is their half/half, pastrami and peppers & beef. Excellent sandwich IMO.
Arrys is LEGENDARY.... beats the other two spots by a landslide for this foodie. Also breakfast at Arrys is all day long so you can get you some french toast at 9:00 p.m. if you choose. **Pro Tip** I always get a small cup of pastrami juice on the side at Arrys. It's already the best pastrami sandwich but getting that cup of juice to douse your sandwich takes it to another level
Hi Steve! Wow what a great review! We're so glad you ate pastrami today. Absolutely Thrilled with your choices...my husband has been craving one for awhile now, and this did it! Going to The Hat right now! Wonderful Sunday ❤🙏🥪🥪🥪
The sandwiches were stacked extra thick because they knew they were going to be featured in a video. As a regular customer walking in, they don’t stuff the sandwiches with that much pastrami. I’ve been to Tops and the Hat before and my sandwiches never looked that thick.
I live in Tokyo and grew up in Southern California in the 70s … I grew up eating pastrami sandwiches at my neighborhood burger joint in Torrance similar to Arrs called Ynot Burgers… which was the owners name Tony spelled backwards. I went to college in Pasadena and fell in love with The Hat and a pastrami with large onion rings was one of my favorite go to’s… prices have definitely gone up. There was another place in LA off of Olympic near La Cienega that served a pastrami foot long hot dog wrapped in two ginormous flour tortillas that was almost embarrassing to order but it was delicious. The pastrami is one of those things I miss about eating in LA. Dude, you need to nix the word “cali” but enjoyed the video tremendously. Arigato!
I grew up in Carson and Torrance and remember Ynot! It was a yummy place. But down in Carson, they had a place called Ted's Burgers on Main St. They had a Pastrami exactly like the Hats! But it had more pastrami juice dripped into the bun!
And...I used to work in Redondo and they had a Tomboys that served some Awesome Chili Cheese Frys! And an awesome Carne Asada Quesadilla! But forgive me, we are talking about Pastrami!
@ I remember Ted’s … I went to elementary school at St Philomena and drove or rode my bike many times past that place. Those local burger joints like Ted’s and Ynot are a SoCal staple and had so much variety on their menus. Deep fried beef and bean burritos were also one of my favorites.
I grew up in Arcadia. I believe my family discovered Tops in the early - mid 80's. That became our pastrami place. We turned on many of our visiting relatives to Tops, they'd take some home with them on their visits and we'd even ship sandwiches to them. We moved away from the area, and found The Hat in Glendora. That was so conveniently located to us, that we nearly forgot about Tops. I'd never heard of Arry's until this video. As far as pastrami sandwiches, I narrowly prefer Tops over The Hat. Tops was always sliced just a little bit thinner than The Hat, so it seemed a little lighter. (in a good way). Now The Hat has far superior chili cheese fries. You can even get them topped with pastrami! I'm out in Orange County now and The Hat is much closer to my home, so I stop in there every so often. Because of The Hat's proximity to my home, The Hat is now the winner. Really, you can't go wrong with either one and if I find myself in the area, I'll stop at Arry's to try it out. Thank you for the tasty video. It's 3 am and now I'm craving a pastrami and chili cheese fries.
Love some pastrami, mustard and pickles in a sub. My most fond memory if pastrami was that sub they gave away for free in L.A county parks as some sort of parks and rec program around 1997.
I’m so drooling… my. Favorite sandwich is the pastrami… needs to be huge (like the ones you showed)! Where I live in Hawaii no more good pastrami sandwiches 😬
That Tops was built in 1978 . The Original Tops is in Alhambra. The Tops on Walnut is preferred by locals. The Pasadena Hat has the best Pastrami around.
Brotha… great video. A close friend of mind has been making a killer Vietnamese beef dip, wanna swing thru and get it out? He’s in the Lincoln heights, Ca area. Lmk!
I had a amazing pastrami at gechanos in east la on mission rd on my way from training in arcadia for a job. It is freaking amazing i havent been to some of the most famous staples from la alot seem too thick cut for me idk it is great try it!
The pastrami burger from The Hat is probably my favorite Pastrami sandwich/burger thing I've ever had. Lucchese In Sun Valley had my favorite sandwich but they're gone. Que Rico's in San Fernando had the best birria in all of LA. Just drove from Pahrump to Vegas for Tommy Burgers. Yeah, Tommy's. Go for it Vatos.
I went to Langer's last week and ordered #19 which costs $29.56. it is loaded and delicious. I definitely will go to Top's or Hat for a lot less. Thanks for shating.
There's a small chain in Orange County called Athena Burger that has a killer pastrami. Not sure how many of them are still around. I haven't been to one in 15 or 20 years and haven't found any quite as good. Tom's Burger (a sizable LA chain) comes close but not quite. Golden Star is pretty good, too. Those are both burger joint pastramis. For.deli pastramis, Desimone's in Huntington Beach, Santa Fe Importers in Long Beach, Handy Market in Burbank, all excellent. Actually, you could probably do a whole series just on Burbank... Giamelo's, Santoro's, Tony's, Original Tony's, Handy Market, Omega Burger, Norm's Burger, Lancer, and more I'm sure... so many good spots in that little town.
6:07 I used to work up the street from the Hat at Food4Less and I did not have a good experience there. I was not wowed. I wanted to be but it did nothing for me. I may try again and stop by on my next trip to Vegas to visit friends.
Arry's pastrami sandwich used to be great and the couple of times that I went the pastrami meat was salty. So my guess is between Johnny's in Culver City or the Golden Ox
If you ever get down to the O.C., you must visit Tommy Pastrami Delicatessen in Santa Ana by the 405. It's a New York style delicatessen and all their food is great but they serve the best pastrami sandwich that I've ever had.
I'd say I drive out of my way for a Hat Pastrami since I live in NorCal and must stop there anytime I'm in SoCAL. Anytime I know a friend is traveling down south always ask if they like Pastrami. Of course I tell them to go to Tommy's Original or Carney or eve Pinks. Oddly enough my goto at Pinks is the Hot Tamales
Great Video!! But in all honesty, they are all relatively the same pastrami, maybe handled a bit differently in the final cooking process is what separates the quality. Not one of these locations makes the pastrami in house, more than likely outsourced by a food manufacturer that can alter the brine recipe a bit. But Arry's is my go to, great service and staff- just be ready to order when you show up lol They operate at a higher level than most places anywhere in LA!!
All hail The Hat! My go-to meal is a pastrami with Swiss cheese, grilled cheese on wheat and a large iced tea. Perfect meal after a blood draw. P.S. I used to live in Montebello and Arry's is no slouch in the pastrami department.
I totally disagree. I like some unmelted cheese and some of the fries without any chili on them so they stay extra crispy! WAIT!! I hadn't seen that part of the video yet. I like SOME unmelted cheese. ALL of that cheese is unmelted. The chili must not be very hot. They need to do better with that!

Hat in Simi rocks for years pastrami rings 💥
Their endless condiments is welcomed ....
Can't beat their onion rings and CHAR- BROILED burgers!!
Like I said before, you have to go to Johnnie’s in the west side of LA in Culver City since 1952. A “must try”!
Over priced over rated Johnnies
Yes, I have been saying this for years.
you can’t ea your money. It’s the best pastrami in LA, period!
@@ronzo7238 johnnies is the MOST overpriced pastrami sandwitch in la county. Cant eat my money but i can sure spend it somewhere else.
Overrated and overpriced!!! that's the LAST place I'd ever go to again ! The Hat is Waaay better. !!! Not even close lol
Canters Deli. Pastrami on Jewish rye. Love Johnnie’s a better roll than The Hat. Johnnie’s also served onion rings with yellow mustard, never had that before, that’s mega. Regardless I love all these places. Same with hamburgers and tacos, whatever spin these great people in the food business have, my hats off to them.
I do love Canter's. Lox and bagel.... Which Johnny's you talking about? The one on Adams or Sepulveda. The one on Adams used to be great when it was black owned and you got a pastrami so big it could be split into 3 sandwiches. Since the pandemic, it was closed for awhile and has changed hands. It is now a Jewish deli type
place, which is not a bad thing, but nothing like their sandwiches used to be.
"The Hat is the In-N-Out of pastrami sandwich" pretty much nails it. It's hard to be the best for the best price but both those places manage it with total consistency. What perplexes me is why so many people love to hate them.
Finally THE HAT! Best pastrami for me, double dipped.
Can’t believe you were in Pasadena and didn’t stop by Lucky Boy’s
their breakfast burritos are like 20lbs lol joking, but theyre massive!!!
Arry's is definitely at the top of my list right now. That sandwich and chili cheese fry combo looked amazing.
I haven't tried the other two, but I LOVE the Pastrami at The Hat. I grew up on Art's Delicatessen's pastrami and I find non-Jewish style Pastriimi sandwiches more to my liking.

From a decades-long patron. "Where every sandwich is a work of Art".
Kid went to Art's and LOVE Brent's Northridge (now also Westlake)
But The Hat rocks straight go2 in Ventura 🪄
You need to try East Side Deli, next to Dodger's Stadium. All of City, County Workers are there during lunch.
Yup, nothing on their menu will disappoint.
Always ask for an extra roll if you get a hot sandwich 😋
A hidden gem
I used to deliver chips there 20 years ago. The anguilis are awesome
Love The Hat!! I moved to Florida and that’s one of several places I really miss as well as Phillips dip and Chris & Pitts bbq. Always consistent.
My favorite is The Hat. I go to the original on in Alhambra. Love it
@rufusmedrano2962 I go to the one in Monterey Park off the 60 Freeway and Atlantic Blvd. I always get a Pastrami, extra packets of mustard, extra pickles on the side and some of those yellow chili peppers and a small drink. I know I can get a refill on my drink so no need to buy a large, lol.
Used to go to the one in upland when my uncle lived in Ontario
Simi 💥👍
Tried Johnnie's for the first time this summer and it was totally worth the drive. The hype is legit. Some of the most flavorful meat I've ever tasted.
Johnnie’s in West LA is on another level
Next to Titos , it sucks. Actually the worst pastrami Sandwich I ever had.
Overrated and Cost too much !!! 👎
@@luisgordillo1695Definitely 💯
@ yes it’s pricy but The Hat doesn’t come close
Titos is good though!

I used to drive 35 miles to The Hat in Brea, until they opened in Lake Forest.
Did you ever try Benjies on Tustin and the 22 fry (approximately). They have the NY style thick pastrami with swiss on rye if you like it that way.
@artguti1551 tried to stuffed cabbage rolls from Benjie's because no ones makes them.
Top's is the place I go to for pastrami sandwiches for the past 20 years!!!
I go out of my way for the Hat! Always get their pastrami dip, chili cheese fries and their onion rings are the absolute best!!
I was having InNOut and know I want a pastrami sandwich. You can’t go wrong with the Hat. I have to try the original tops. Great video thanks.
I like the pastrami at Tops. When I worked in Pasadena it was a favorite place to go and their zucchini fries are a great side. The bread is really soft at The Hat and their chili dogs and chili fries are so delicious!
I eat breakfast at Tops all the time. Never tried their pastrami.
I love that you went to Tops. I love Tops.
So nice to see you visit Tops! Love that place.
The Hat by far the best.
Johnnies Pastrami in Culver City is one of the best in Los Angeles.
He already covered that in the other pastrami video
@@Lawomenshoops He covered the Johnnies in the Adams District not the one in Culver City.
Absolutely, been going there since the 90s
When I was a chauffer I went to Johnnie's regularly before an LAX pickup.
😂 lol I've had the best food here and its not good. And I'm from here. We gotta take it to the southern food. Smh they dishes 🤦 💯 u need a southern to cook the food here 😂. To change up taste buds
Arrys is great
Sure is
Agree!!
The Hat is the business dipped!!
The Hat is the best
Growing up in Pico Rivera in the 70s, Omega Burger on Whittier Blvd had the best pastrami dip sandwiches, extra pickles, extra mustard. And an order of onion rings that came in a old school lunch brown bag, double bagged for the grease absorption.
The Hat chili cheese pastrami fries are killer!
Love Chili cheese fries with Pastrami !
dude I'm so hungry now the pastrami looks so good rocks already cool
For California style The Hat, For New York style New York Deli in Torrance but the rubben is even better
Arrys is the best Pastrami sandwich also try the DUI Fries as well also across the street from Arby's a must try os The Golden Ox
My 'Cuz told me about The Golden Ox.
The Golden Ox pastrami was greasy and smaller. I wasn't impressed.
Not to far away from Johnnie's in Culver City is Sorrento's Italian Deli. It's on Sepulveda near Jefferson. My favorite is their half/half, pastrami and peppers & beef. Excellent sandwich IMO.
Arrys is LEGENDARY.... beats the other two spots by a landslide for this foodie. Also breakfast at Arrys is all day long so you can get you some french toast at 9:00 p.m. if you choose.

Arry's is amazing!!! Their Carne Asada burrito to die for. They also have good salads.
Go Steve, go❤ Pastrami, my favorite when done right.
The sandwiches look good!
The sandwiches were stacked extra thick because they knew they were going to be featured in a video. As a regular customer walking in, they don’t stuff the sandwiches with that much pastrami. I’ve been to Tops and the Hat before and my sandwiches never looked that thick.
My favorite pastrami place is DeFranko's Subs in Van Nuys. It is a small sandwich shack place but all their menu items are amazingly delicious.

We drive down form Las Vegas once a year to eat at the hat in rancho cucamunga !
Impressive
Been going to Arry's since I was a kid, they have the best Pastrami sandwiches ever. I will even travel 2 hours just eat their food.
I miss Arry's. Lived nearby for 25 years and always enjoyed their sandwiches and chili cheese fries.
Arrys for the win!
Arry's ROCKS

Grinders is way better
Brent's Jerry's deli Giamelas and
The Hat my Ventura go2 pastrami rings 🥳🤸🤸🤸
I get that in and out hat comparison nothing wrong with that
Steven's on Normandie and El Segundo is the best!
The Original Top’s Burgers Chili Cheese Fries are the best in L.A county.
I'm surprised Johnny's Pastrami in Culver City didn't make the list
That's because it's Overrated and overpriced!!! LoL ,... The Hat is Waaay better by Far !!!
We’ve been going to Arry’s for the past 40 years. Excellent pastrami….much better than the Hat IMO.
Love some pastrami, mustard and pickles in a sub. My most fond memory if pastrami was that sub they gave away for free in L.A county parks as some sort of parks and rec program around 1997.
Couple of brothers started by buying the original Hat on Main St in Alhambra and went from there.
I reco The Hat, Pastrami
not dipped, but with a side of gravy. For the sandwich and to dip the fries. Game changer!!!!
Hat is number one
Great video. Thank you for the recommendations. Planning a road trip out there in the summer and will make note of these establishments
I’m so drooling… my. Favorite sandwich is the pastrami… needs to be huge (like the ones you showed)! Where I live in Hawaii no more good pastrami sandwiches 😬
That Tops was built in 1978 . The Original Tops is in Alhambra. The Tops on Walnut is preferred by locals. The Pasadena Hat has the best Pastrami around.
Brotha… great video. A close friend of mind has been making a killer Vietnamese beef dip, wanna swing thru and get it out? He’s in the Lincoln heights, Ca area. Lmk!
Please share the info!
Also love me some Banh Mi and pork sandwiches!!! J&Q in Anaheim has some great Viet food.
For pastrami burger, the HAT is the best. I love the HAT!
Oinkster is THE BEST! HANDS DOWN.
Not a fan of The Oinkster. But the old Casa Bianca pizza place across the street on Colorado is good. Been there for years.
The Best Place For Pastrami Is The Oinkster in Eagle Rock! I Love The Other Three Places You Went To But The Oinkster Is The Place To Go!
Love Top’s been going since the 80’s❤
I had a amazing pastrami at gechanos in east la on mission rd on my way from training in arcadia for a job. It is freaking amazing i havent been to some of the most famous staples from la alot seem too thick cut for me idk it is great try it!
Ari's is my jam!!
Good choice
The pastrami burger from The Hat is probably my favorite Pastrami sandwich/burger thing I've ever had. Lucchese In Sun Valley had my favorite sandwich but they're gone. Que Rico's in San Fernando had the best birria in all of LA. Just drove from Pahrump to Vegas for Tommy Burgers. Yeah, Tommy's. Go for it Vatos.
I went to Langer's last week and ordered #19 which costs $29.56. it is loaded and delicious. I definitely will go to Top's or Hat for a lot less. Thanks for shating.
And, your car was still there. Did you also get a green card, or social security card?
Brent’s Deli #13 is the best, their rye bread is outstanding!
That's deli style. Very different pastrami sandwich from these.
Amazing flavorful pastrami is at Bay Cities Santa Monica, Sunset Deli West Hollywood, or Grand Food Market Glendale
There's a small chain in Orange County called Athena Burger that has a killer pastrami. Not sure how many of them are still around. I haven't been to one in 15 or 20 years and haven't found any quite as good. Tom's Burger (a sizable LA chain) comes close but not quite. Golden Star is pretty good, too.

You got to try the number 7 at Eastside Market. By Dodger Stadium Figueroa place and Alpine..
Not going to oinkster in eagle rock is crazy for their pastrami
you need to try the Pastrami Chili Cheese Fries from Tams
Johnnies is #1...non debatable
I been thinking about pastrami for 4 days now thanks for the video boss man
Arry's pastrami sandwich used to be great and the couple of times that I went the pastrami meat was salty. So my guess is between Johnny's in Culver City or the Golden Ox
Tops was looking fire 🔥 Only Pasadena tho 🤝🏼 next go to lucky boy on arroyo parkway
you need to head over to capri deli in covina. you can order a yardstick pastrami...
If you ever get down to the O.C., you must visit Tommy Pastrami Delicatessen in Santa Ana by the 405. It's a New York style delicatessen and all their food is great but they serve the best pastrami sandwich that I've ever had.
Tasty for sure and the owner takes pride in his restaurant
@rond.5377 have you had the chili? It has pastrami in it and it's fantastic!'
@@YosemiteOnMyMind I'll have to check that out
I'd say I drive out of my way for a Hat Pastrami since I live in NorCal and must stop there anytime I'm in SoCAL. Anytime I know a friend is traveling down south always ask if they like Pastrami. Of course I tell them to go to Tommy's Original or Carney or eve Pinks. Oddly enough my goto at Pinks is the Hot Tamales
Tops is for me. Pastrami chili cheese fries

Top's has the very best fast food French Fries 🍟! You gotta try it.
Across the street from Arry’s is the Golden Ox- my favorite pastrami between the two. But you can’t beat the Hat for spicy pastrami
BTW Hermosa Beach - Mickey ‘s. Deli - spicy pastrami is noteworthy 😋
Btw - Mickey’s in Hermosa - spicy pastrami deluxe 😋
Johnnies's pastrami in Culver city is the bomb lol
You rock and roll man!!
Ohhhh! Nothing like great pastrami! My fave sandwich is a Reuben on Rye
Tops pastrami burger is the best. Family owned by a Greek family.
Eastside Italian Deli in Downtown L.A. is another great spot for pastrami sandwiches.
Brent's deli Northridge 💯💯💯💯
I've had the Ary's beef dip. Very good.
Gene's Grinders in Monrovia has amongst the biggest Pastrami!
All hail The Hat! My go-to meal is a pastrami with Swiss cheese, grilled cheese on wheat and a large iced tea. Perfect meal after a blood draw.
P.S. I used to live in Montebello and Arry's is no slouch in the pastrami department.
Sounds good
No, no, no, no cheese! Just mustard and pickles with yellow chiles juice squeezed on it.
If you head a little east to Chino, try Super Chili Burger. Family ran since forever, and I have never had anything bad there.
We can only dream of something like this here in Toronto. Especially for that kinda value.
Unmelted cheese on chili cheese fries is a major no!
I totally disagree. I like some unmelted cheese and some of the fries without any chili on them so they stay extra crispy!
WAIT!! I hadn't seen that part of the video yet. I like SOME unmelted cheese. ALL of that cheese is unmelted. The chili must not be very hot. They need to do better with that!
Tops is a very good food especially the breakfast. You got to try pasadena sandwich company in pasadena. There pastrami is top notch.
P&g’s burgers in Colton hands down best pastrami sandwich
LUCKY BOY!!
I like a pastrami with fried egg lettuce tomato with mayo and also a regular pastrami..
