Fromin's Delicatessen

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.

I love a good deli, but in LA, they're all so darn costly! Froman's has the best food, I've found, and the prices are still very reasonable. I recommend the chicken taco salad -- not what you'd expect from a Jewish deli.

Pros: Great Food, Great Prices

Cons: Generic Decor

After hearing good things, we ordered Fromin's for a late business dinner and the food was downright terrible. The chicken my salad was undercooked and resembled rubber, and the salad dressing was all oil and very little flavor. The other entrees we ordered did not impress at all. Not only was the food bad, but it took 3 phone calls to get the order right. Lastly, we ordered chocolate cake and were given some sort of brown liquid substance in a cup--yuck! Don't waste your time or money at Fromin's.

Pros: None

Cons: , Bad Service

The food is seriously lacking, and the waitstaff could care less. All of our food came out wrong, but we were unable to send it back as we could not find our waitress. There are so many good deli's and diners in this city that it is not worth going here.

Cons: , poor service

On my last visit, we were seated right away, our order was taken, and then the hell began. Our waitress failed to bring half of our food and disappeared for the next 45 min. My order was wrong and iceberg lettuce on my pathetic salad was brown. I asked repeatedly for someone to get our waitress, but she did not show until we finally decided to pay and get out of there. When we pointed out that she had forgotten some of our food, she did not apologize, but only offered to wrap it up to go. I called the owner to complain later that day and he yelled at me, saying that it was my own fault and he had remebered seeing me and said I was "gazing into my boyfriend's eyes for an hour." I guess no one ever told him The Customer is always right.

Pros: big parking lot

Cons: , horrific service, rude staff

finally a great deli. New York style everything. Breakfast is great and the lunch and dinners are wonderful too. Cornbeef is the best I have had in a long, long time.
