Mort's Deli LA - Tarzana, California

MORT'S DELI, DOESN'T MATZ-O-ROUND!!!!
I just had the BEST Ruben Sliders! I'm so happy, that my sister Gena and I, decided to try Mort's for lunch! Best service and good food!
The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because, I ordered the Mini Latke Rubens, from the Specials menu, what I got was Ruben sliders, minus the Latke's. (I didn't complain because we didn't have time to wait for the latkes) The other reason they didn't have 5 stars, was because the potato salad wasn't homemade or maybe it was homemade but tasted like the store bought potato salad in a container.
Will I come back to Mort's? ABSOLUTELY! I'm dying to try the MATZO BALL SOUP!!!

I have been a customer since 1968
Would come in from the city every weekend then moved to valley and worked down the street from Mort’s
The ambiance is gone from those days didn’t feel like a deli family restaurant any more
I ordered soup salad and macaroni salad which was terrible had to send it back definetly not home made
The waitresses are the same girls and great
The cooks as well and our favorite table buser who greets you with your Diet Coke he never forgets who you are
You eat at Mort’s go to Beas get your goodies or go to Beas first and have a feast at Mort’s
Saddens me Mort’s has now closed off the walk through entrance from Beas to Mort’s (what did Beas ever do to you new Mort’s !!!
They will always have business since Tarzana hospital is there
I myself will go to Beas and bypass Mort’s !!
Thsnk you Mort’s for many wonderful years of great food service and your fsmily friendly atmosphere 🙂
This sign breaks my heart🥺

RIP Mort's! The new owners are changing it to "The Nosh" and it has gone way down hill. The sign out side still says Morts, but the menus say "The Nosh", so first off the restaurant (and me as a guest) doesn't know it's name. The new owners (from two years ago) are in the process of changing it over to "The Nosh" to match their other location. I was there at 1230 on a weekday, when it should be packed, and there were maybe six spots taken.

They've redone the inside and while it is nice, there is no longer any of the Mort's charm and it looks like a generic restaurant. They even closed off the entrance to Bea's Bakery so they could put a few more tables in the place. See my photo for the sign in Bea's about it.

I was there with three people and we each got the lunch special. Two of us had the corned beef sandwich and chicken noodle soup and one had the turkey sandwich and Matzo ball soup. The soup was good. Portion size was pretty normal, but it wasn't as flavorful. They served it with pre-packaged saltine crackers instead of rye bread and they now charge for rye bread for the table, where it used to be free.

As to the sandwiches, they were half of what they used to be. You used to have to fight to get a bite because the sandwiches were so thick, now I didn't even need to open my mouth all the way. Definitely not the Mort's experience. On top of that, the seasoning and taste of all the meat was off, like it was unsalted. I've had bigger sandwiches at the local non-Jewish deli. For $20 a person, and for MORT'S DELI, I expected more.

I've been making the trek out here from Ventura County for decades and it's always been so good. Not anymore. This is the last time I'll be going there. It used to so much better than Brent's Deli, and today I wished I was at Brent's. I left hungry for the first time... and not just hungry but feeling like I hardly had anything!

I can say that the waitress and staff were friendly and the service was good.

Their pastrami sandwich was better than I expected, the service was great. They give big portion. The staffs were very attentive specially the lady named Lucy. I will try more of their menu for sure.

To the Nosh Ownership Team: reopen the connecting door to Bea’s, increase your portions, leave everything the way it was, or else it will be difficult to retain lifetime customers like me and my family.

The new remodel is beautiful but it completely lacks any bit of the charm that the old Morts had to offer. Allowing the door to Bea’s to be open again would change everything. Closing the connecting door was a big mistake and is an easy fix. Prices have risen and the portions have shrunk. Everything is an additional charge. The Matzo ball soup doesn’t come with bagel chips or crackers. Half a tuna sandwich comes with a tiny thing of coleslaw and maybe a kids ice cream scoop worth of tuna.

This beautiful remodel brings your team so much potential. Don’t lose your fan base along the way

Gets worse every year. Now the 20$ pastrami has half the meat. Piled high in the middle to look ok, but none on the rest. So half the bites are nearly meat less.

Listen, I’ve been to many Delis - This is the one.

Best service in town.

Best Ruben sandwich and Matza soup

I thought I was the only one who thought the charm of Bea's bakery being closed off took away from the memories and nostalgia. I had mozto ball soup.. they were not homemade tasty. As mentioned no rye bread or bagel chips..This is/was a Jewish Deli now its just another overpriced sandwich shop. I also got a corn beef sandwich it did not look like a deli sandwich to me.. hardly any corn beef.. and not 1 mustard pack in the bag.
I was very disappointed the take out person was not very friendly.
For 2 extra 2 tops the pass way to bea s is closed. I was there ay noon on a weekday the place was empty.
They spruce up the area and in my opinion is that it isn't the delivery I grew up with and took my children too.
I know there are others but a couple of years ago this was my favorite
