38 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles for Street Tacos, California Cuisine, and Flawless Omakase | Condé Nast Traveler

"To be totally candid, it's a bit of a mess. There's scarcely a moment in the day that it's not a fuss to place your order at the sprawling new American deli counter, but the wait is worth it. Once you do finally get your grub, make sure to sit outside for prime people watching. Possibly the best modern deli in the city, if not the country. Having been several times over the course of a few years, it's hard not to recommend everything. The perfectly flaky pastries, the smoked fish platters, the deli sandwiches, it truly is all good. There's no bar program, but there's great coffee, natural sodas, and, of course, smoothies. Seating is not really conducive to large groups, so better to keep it an intimate affair." - Celeste Moure
