I went late at night so there was not many people there. It was a good sandwhich but not best french dip i ever had. Thats only thin i oredered but i like the vibe and friendly staff. I could have used a bit more flavor on the beef but ill be back to try iut other items. Ole school diner feel and im sure it gets crowded during the day.

Honestly , this was such a cute place. Old school and very simple. This is one of those regular spots to get inexpensive food. I actually just got the pb&j when I went but a few of my group got the dipper and they thought it was great. I’d recommend going here just for the old school vibes !

Philippe's The Original is an LA staple. I love going here before a Dodger game. There's always a line out the door before a Dodger game. This places a huge. There is a lot of seating. The atmosphere is energetic. There are a lot of Dodgers fans. I love the quickness of the service. The women and men behind the counter are hustling, making the sandwiches, and keeping the line moving. I got the Beef Dip. I got it dipped in the aju sauce. I love adding the hot mustard that they have. Oh man, that is hot! It cleans your sinuses. They have a lot of choices on the menu, like different types of meat for the dips. Different types of potato and macaroni salad, pickled pickles, eggs, beets, and pig's feet. They also have a breakfast menu with items like pancake and French toast. A full breakfast menu. It's a 10 of 10. I truly recommend this place.

I heard I had to visit this on my trip to LA, so I did. I parked the car for free in Chinatown and walked from there to Philippe's. The staff was very welcoming, even to a new and unsure customer like me. I took the beef double-dip with mustard, and some pickles. It tasted very good, and kept me full for a long time. Would definitely recommend.

"Historic? You've gone to the right place!" My aunt told me over the phone. There was a line, and a lot of the crowd seemed like locals and the cashiers knew exactly what they wanted. Definitely wins in the atmosphere, and service was really nice. Plenty of seating and plenty of parking. I could smell the food upon entering. It was a pretty busy day, and the line moved steadily along, as those cashiers seemed to have everything down to a science. I got the classic beef dip, potato salad, and pickles. I was hungry. Right off the bat, I could tell from the smell of the restaurant that they bake the bread fresh. This was confirmed when I sank my teeth into this sandwich. Light, airy, and crispness that you should get from French bread. The meat - very tender, and juicy, and can taste the Au Jus sauce well. The potato salad was very nice, and the pickles were a nice touch. You can find plenty of seats. A lovely sandwich, and glad I drove through all that traffic for this delightful experience. If you're a sucker for historic restaurants like me, go here and get the original French Dip.
