Excellent across the board..... from the minute you step into the nicely set-up outdoor patio. You are greeted by friendly smiles & atmosphere. I grew up in Culver City & Johnnie's Pastrami is the 1st dining spot I highlight to everyone/anyone. On this occasion I took my wife & promised her the best pastrami sandwich she's ever had. Mission accomplished, she said dining area both inside/out were extremely clean & our server Carla provided us with exceptional customer service. The cooks are friendly & everyone is so welcoming. The food portions are plentiful & selection is great. If you haven't tried Johnnie's pastrami YOU ARE MISSING OUT! I promise you, you will be more than satisfied & you will share your experience with others!

Went to Johnnie’s Pastrami in Culver City after watching an online review about top pastrami spots. I got there just before the lunch rush and ordered the hot pastrami plate (piled high with juicy meat) along with fries and coleslaw. My tip: ask for the spicy mustard, it adds a perfect kick. I had a Coke too, and yes, they’ve got crushed ice, my favorite. Glad I beat the crowd, because it’s a small place with big charm. The mini jukeboxes on the tables (2 songs for a quarter) really complete the old-school diner vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you love classic spots and great pastrami. Stop by if you are in the area!

This pastrami place has been around since 1952. Walking in feels like you are time traveling into the past. The jukebox machine actually still works! One other thing you’ll notice is that there is a very kind, family atmosphere among the staff here. The pastrami I had today was something I have not tried before. The pastrami is boiled in an au ju sauce. This made the pastrami very juicy! It is so good! The 1/2 sandwich was $13, it was stacked to the brim and was such a great value for money. They do have outdoor seating with a fire pit in middle. Seems like a nice place to hang out next time. I like that they also have ample parking at the back.

I love this place!!! I'm on a trip to Southern California and had to make an early morning stop at an LA camera store. So, of course, I missed breakfast and was starving by 11:30. All at once I see a sign for Johnnie's - French Dip Pastrami sandwich. I know it's not going to be Katz's pastrami but I need to eat. WHAT A FIND I sat at the counter next to the slices of pie. I had my sandwich in under 2 minutes and was full of goodness 5 minutes later.

$21 for a full sized pastrami sandwich on a French baguette. It's a little pricey, but it is filled w meat so a friend and I split one along w some Tito's tacos, but the pastrami was the highlight. The pastrami was thinly sliced, easy to chew and not oily like most. Probably one of the best pastrami meat I've had.
