Editorial Review for Fromin's Delicatessen – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The throwback delicatessen decor incorporates a blend of '60s holdovers like brown carpet, faux wood paneling and Formica tables. A similarly traditional deli menu offers half-sandwich specials--chopped liver, tuna salad, turkey, pastrami--accompanied by matzo ball or mushroom-barley soup. Breakfast items are also available.

For all those, who can't start a day without a good breakfast, this is a fabulous spot! We were there on a Monday morning when the place was almost empty. My friend ordered pancakes with maple sirup and strawberrie jam and I had a potato pancake along with a vegetable omelette. A bagle with butter and jam came aditionally to my order. The pancakes were warm, tender and fluffy while straberrie jam came alongside as much as requested. My potato pancake was crispy fried and spicy while the vegetable omlette (which based on eggs) contained generous pieces of carrots, cauliflower, onions, muchrooms, broccoli came heavenly fluffy and lavish. We drank fresh juices instead of coffee. The service was very kind, chatty and attentive.
Pros: Food, service, kid and family friendly, good for romatic breakfast or brunch
Cons: decoration colors chosen

I rotate among the various delis in Los Angeles and consitently come back to Fromin's when I'm craving a bagel, lox and cream cheese. They know how to give you a shmear and the lox is just perfection. Salty but not too much. Smooth and silky texture. I can't really attest to their other foods since is the only thing I order but others who come with me and order other things have also been very satisfied. The staff there is also very friendly and my coffee cup stays full.
Pros: Friendly staff, lots of seating, plenty of parking, great food.
Cons: If you insist on having a hip decor, you will be disappointed.
