An L.A. institution. I can't visit downtown without coming here. Famous landmark for their famous French dipped sandwich. Always a great sandwich, and sides. So many side dishes and desserts to choose from. The sandwiches whether beef or pork, are best double dipped and with their hot mustard. Although you can order just a dipped sandwich, if you want it a little drier. Yes, the mustard is "hot," so just add a little but to give your sandwich a kick. They have pickles, potato and macaroni salad, coleslaw, and potato chips. You can order a side salad, chili with or without beans, beef stew or a daily soup. They also offer many dessert options, such as fruit pies, cream pies, cakes, custard, tapioca or ice cream. They also offer breakfast early in the day. There are so many options to choose from, and they are all delicious.

The beef dip us solid. It's not spectacular, I mean it's meat on bread. I also got a New England clam chowder, which was excellent. It's walking distance to Union Station (less than 10 min), the service was nice and fast. And I noticed there's TONS of parking.

Place was phenomenal!! It has such a cool feel to it! You will have to wait but the food comes out as soon as you order. I got the lamb double dip with potato salad and a pickled egg. The pickled egg is a must try. Loved this place and you can explore Chinatown while you are there!

Absolutely hands down best French dip and in my opinion the best sandwich period. The meats are super moist and tender and full of flavor. All the sides and desserts are fantastic as well. I've never had anything there that wasn't good. I have to eat there every time I go to LA.

It's a pretty solid sandwich, the lamb was cooked well, perfectly tender. But other than that, it's meat in a roll. Definitely a good stop for a quick meal if in Chinatown. The donut surprisingly was pretty good too.
