I have been going to eat at Philippe's ever since I was a child with my Grandfather,it brings back good times and memories of great food. Now I bring my children there,it is kid-friendly,
has great atmosphere,and even better food,a good place to unwind after doing a day of shopping at nearby "La Placita Olvera". This restaurant is "Vintage L.A.". The hot mustard is the very best I've ever tasted,Mmm !!! So spicy. It has great french dipped sandwiches...Pork,Ham,Beef,Lamb.
It really is delectable and reasonably priced(two words that I like to find together) Close by to great shopping,Chinatown,so if you're looking for a place to eat try " PHILIPPES" and make it your new family tradition,thanxs

I have been comming here to eat for over 40 years now . Its just not the same as it use to be . Portions are smaller and of course prices are up (which we understand ,but why make the portions smaller ?) A Dodger game is never the same without a Philippes dip . Please make your sandwichs larger .

Philippe’s has been a part of my life since birth. I can definitely say that I know the place inside and out like the back of my hands. My father now 60, began his career at Philippe’s as a bus boy at the age of 19. He worked his way up the ranks and has been managing the whole operation since the mid 80’s. I like to believe that he’s helped make this place a land mark. The smells from the kitchen remind me of my days as a little girl running in to find her daddy mixing the ingredients for that weeks mustard supply, and waiting patiently in the warehouse for 2:00pm so my dad and I could share a double dipped beef sandwich with American cheese. The simplicity of it all is nostalgic. At one time or another, my siblings and I have all worked there as well. In fact, my first job was at Philippe’s. My last two years of college were paid off with tips I earned while working on days when the Dodgers were in town, during Laker games, before and after a USC game, etc. Philippe’s is like home. Philippe’s is a place where families gather to share laughs and make memories. Philippe’s is a place for first dates and where love is found… if only those walls could talk. Philippe’s is an extension of me…Philippe’s IS home.

The food is great and at very affordable prices. Their homemade mustard is one of a kind. A definite deli experience.

Philippe's is an LA classic. The beef dip can't be beat and their mustard has a great kick to it.
