East Side Deli on Hawthorne

Jennifer Lively

East Side Deli was a favorite of mine for YEARS but I recently ordered my go-to veggie french dip and realized that they switched "meats" they used to use field roast "meat" and now use tofurkey. The quality is quite different and unfortunately I no longer like the taste. This is obviously my personal preference, but I am sad to see my favorite deli go.

Love this sandwich shop! The ordering platform through their website is easy to use and orders are made quickly. Love the vegan & build your own options. Super yummy! (bite already taken out of this one)

Glad they have vegan deli meat (tofurkey) and a variety of breads, but there is no hummus, vegan cheese / cream cheese, or spinach. Would love to see a vegan ABLT, vegan mac, etc. The vegan coleslaw is not fresh; tastes 3-4 days old, but it was still a pleasant surprise on the menu. The BYO sandwich was also very soggy and not toasted enough for the volume of liquid. Love the on-the-go vending option at this location though. Hoping for a vegan meatball parm sub option soon. Keep up the good work!

The pastrami sandwich that I ordered turned out to be a sauerkraut sandwich with a slight hint of pastrami. Terrible. Below: photo that one sees when ordering the sandwich vs. what I actually got. Somehow not quite the same. Edit after restaurant reply: 1. The photo of the "10 pounds of meat" sandwich came directly from your online ordering system. 2. If you look at the photo of the sandwich that I received, it is plainly obvious that there is nowhere near 6 oz. of meat. Honestly...look at the photo.
