    Bacon lettuce and cucumber sandwich.
    Sayuri B.

    This place is so cool, it's an all in one spot with some of the best sandwiches in town! Very clean and the staff is so nice. Parking is a little tough but if you're a native you know exactly what to do. They seem to always be fully stocked with the latest stuff. I had a bacon lettuce and cucumber sandwich it was delightful.

    Chicken Pesto Sandwich

    Best sandwich I ever had. Fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned. Always great costumer service and best part open 24 hours. This is my favorite spot in LA. I would recommend everyone to try it, you won't regret

    Chopped Cheese.
    Renee P.

    Not for me. I ordered the Chopped Cheese Sandwich and Macaroni Salad. Neither one of these items left me wanting more. I actually gave half of the sandwich to my coworker. He said he enjoyed it. I'm not saying the sandwich was good or bad. It's just not something I would order again. The Macaroni Salad was basically pasta and mayonnaise with little to no vegetables.

    "Veggie Burger With Fries And Canned Soda Combo"
    LeRonn P.

    Worst Veggie Burger Ever Ngl 1. They said "impossible" patty which is clearly not what was used here 2. I SPECIFICALLY asked for no tomato and no fried egg as I don't eat egg/meat/etc, we even went over it twice smh 3. the fries were soggy & bland (They gave me one ketchup packet, one mayo packet and ZERO NAPKINS) If the younger looking guy w glasses and the chipped tooth is at the register make sure he has your order correct and check before leaving the bodega. I was mad asf when I got home and opened this shit

    This updated review is long overdue. Both the owner and manager reached out to me regarding my issue and rectified the problem. It still holds true these sandwiches are good, pricey (but what isn't nowadays) but good. Flavorful, chewy yet soft bread and not dry, how a sandwich should be. Simple, yet delicious. Love how they are open 24/7, hate the no parking situation but it comes with the DTLA territory. Thank you again for making my experience better!

    The Jojo

    I've come here multiple times post clubbing at Exchange and I've not been disappointed once when I've come here. Ordering here is quick and easy and they have a wide variety of sandwiches and drinks to choose from. They have a nice market on the right from when you come in and carry a lot of things you would normally see in a bodega. I also love the fact that they are open 24 hours and you can come in at anytime as well! On my most recent visit, I ordered the Jojo sandwich which was excellent! They don't skimp on their sandwiches here and fill them to the brim with lots of meats and veggies depending on what you order and their bread is seemingly delivered fresh everyday! I loved the massive pile of turkey mixed with the garlic aioli on the roll with all the vegetables on top making my belly full and happy especially after clubbing for several hours! Most of the sandwiches are around $11-$17 depending on what you order and they are worth the price! I am looking forward to coming here in the future for more tasty sandwiches! I highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a place to eat after a long night out, you won't be disappointed! This place gets a 5/5 from me!

We had a nice server, Daniel, who was very attentive and helpful. My sister ordered cheese blintzes and they were served cold in the middle. Daniel took them back and when they reappeared at the table they were hot enough but not piping hot. Sister said they were very good. But two not very large blintzes for about $16, is kind of high. Friend had a Rueben which she said was delish. She also ordered a container of matzah ball soup and the matzoh ball was huge! I ordered a hot corned beef on rye and it was indeed very good. Large enough that half was enough for dinner and the other half was another meal on the next day. I also ordered onion rings. Very good! My dining companions enjoyed some of them too and there were still a few left to take home with my sandwich! I had a few of my friend's steak fries, they were good also. The prices are high here. Guess you have to go with the flow in a world-famous place! There is a small bakery counter near the front door. We bought two danishes to take home. OMG, the chocolate and almond danish was absolutely a 6 on a scale 0f 1-5! Also got a bear claw and it's terrific too. But the other was great. Notice I said was; my sister and I shared it. Didn't tale too long for us to decimate it! This was an experience for sure. If ever I get to LA again, I will be sure to get a chocolate and almond danish!

The matzo ball soup was fine, not super flavorful and didn't have enough salt for me personally (the saltine crackers did help though). The sandwich was not bad at all, good sauerkraut tang and the pastrami was well seasoned. The rye bread also have a crunch. I think the main issue I had was just mainly the price: for around 25 bucks for the sandwich I would have expected a larger portion but it wasn't too big. I haven't been to many other Jewish deli spots before and I know Katz is more expensive than here but the sandwich I had when I visited Katz was easily twice as large . Overall, i did think the sandwich was serviceable here it wasn't my favorite considering the price.

I ordered the Black Pastrami Reuben, and this was really yummy! The pastrami itself was juicy, tender, and loaded onto the sandwich along with sauerkraut. It was delicious on its own, but I asked for Thousand Island dressing on the side so I could dip the sandwich into it and that combination was heaven. The tangy, creamy dressing with the rich pastrami took it to another level! You can also get the classic hot pastrami if that's more your style. The Club Sandwich was also really good. This is more of a classic, straightforward deli sandwich and it's hard to go wrong with it when you're craving something familiar. But the biggest surprise for me was actually the cabbage coup. I wasn't expecting much, but wow. It's a sweet comforting soup made with meat and cabbages, and I found myself absolutely loving it. I have no idea how much sugar goes into that broth, but there's something about the sweet flavor that just works. You can order a small bowl, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a try if you're curious. I also asked for bagel chips and pickles which were really fun to snack on. The salmon bagel and whitefish bagel were perfectly fine, but neither was particularly memorable compared with the pastrami or soup. I think this place is worth a visit if you're in Northridge and craving a classic deli meal. I'm definitely excited to go back and try out some other things on the menu.

The Godmother is good but disproportionately acclaimed, and I'd never wait in line to get it. Thankfully, it's easy to order ahead. I did this through DoorDash on the drive over to Santa Monica, where we were already headed to catch a Sunday afternoon play. We walked in and saw the zoo at the deli counter, then learned that DoorDash pick-ups were in a different corner of the grocery. There was a confusing sign that indicated "catering & on-line pick up around the corner to the left," which in its ambiguous phrasing, led me to a place I wasn't supposed to go (it was apparently only for catering orders, but what about "catering & on-line pick up" excludes DoorDash orders?). A snippy employee cast me out and completely ignored my explanation about the sign. But other than that, the pick-up was quick and painless, much better than waiting in that line. It was like going to the DMV with an appointment vs. without (one of my favorite Broad City gags). We looked around the store, which was quite nice, a sizable gourmet grocery with lots of wine, deli goods, tinned fish, etc. My husband bought a lemonade and learned that Bay Cities doesn't take credit cards. (He was able to use an ATM card.) We took our pick-up order, bagged in a maximal amount of plastic, and grabbed one a handful of shaded tables in front of the store. We'd planned to take our sandwiches to a park, but this was a pleasant place to eat. I got the Godmother with the works: prosciutto, ham, capicola, mortadella, Genoa salami, and Provolone; hot peppers (you can also get mild), Italian dressing, mayo, yellow mustard, lettuce, onion, tomato, and pickles, all on a fresh Italian roll. The bread was great, sturdy with a good crunch, and I liked the sandwich well enough. It was OK+ for sure, just not really a standout in my map of Los Angeles sandwiches. I also ordered a side of snap pea salad, with fresh snap peas, mandarin orange, black sesame seeds, sesame oil, and salt. I love snap peas but I guess I don't love them quite this raw and underdressed. This was a disappointment. If I lived in Santa Monica, I might go to Bay Cities more than once every 16 years. But unless I'm still missing something, it's not really worth a drive.
