Mosher’s Gourmet

Hmmmmm… I read all the other reviews and I’m confused because I live just down the street and my boyfriend and I were wanting a good deli sandwich– he found Mosher’s and picked up the french dip and the corned beef on rye. SO DELISH! The corn beef was so moist and tender on the yummiest rye smothered with mustard (the way I like it) The French dip was equally as tasty, loved the fries– seasoned perfectly and yummy homemade coleslaw… YUM!

Ever since I left the San Fernando Valley I have been on a search for a great jewish deli, or hell a jewish deli period.
When I was leaving work one day I saw the sign Mosher’s deli and thought «could it be? have I found the one deli here in LB?». But alas, color me disspapointed :(I walked in and ordered the reuben and side of potato salad… Really… Reuben was dry, and the meat was tasteless. I barely wanted to finish it. You would figure a staple like this would at least be perfected. As for the potato salad, I have had better at the pre-​made counter at Albertsons.

Bottom Line… this place just SUCKS…

Oy-​Vey! Meshuggina!
Mosher’s is disappointing and depressing as the food it serves. I ordered a hot dog, fries and a diet coke. The hot dog weiner was burned black. The fries were brown, and tasted like beer. The fries looked like they had been cooked in a dirty fryer or cooked and re-​cooked. Yuck! And the diet coke was flat. Talk about disappointing? I should have returned the food order.
The only thing safe to eat here is a Corona or Bud light in a bottle. Safest food item on the menu. I have been here a couple of times and it’s always empty, and run by a Latin guy, who’d rather be watching futbol or be home than working the night shift. This server is the cook, waiter and the bus boy. He’s the jack of all trades, and a master of none, especially cooking.
It’s not a good sign when a restaurant has one employee doing everything. When you walk in to this place, your instinct is to walk out. The dreary booths, seventies décor and smell of the place, say escape and run to CPK, Hof’s Hut or In ‘N Out across the street. Mosher’s at Sea Port is as depressing as the motel it’s in. This place reminds me of the movie «Bagdad Café» (about the run down café that has no hope), and that «I Love Lucy» episode where Ricky and Lucy stop into an isolated diner and get more than what they bargained for… «Eeewww!» As Lucy would say.

been curious about mosher’s after having driven by their location on 7^th countless times. ended up having some dinner here because our knitting group came here. not crazy about their lighting (or lack thereof) for knitting or eating, but the place feels less depressing than the rest of the motel, which is kind of a blight on the marina. it’s in desperate need of a makeover, maybe from the ground up.
on to the food. i had the tuna mazatlan, which is a tuna salad sandwich with a slight kick. i think they throw in some chiles, which was a surprise, but tasty. they could have been a little more sparing with the mayo, but it was a decent tuna fish sandwich. fries were generic but good. maybe it’s the location, but mosher’s feels more diner like than deli. my friend had their matzo ball soup and thought it was ok… more like a chicken noodle soup with matzo balls. i almost was going to give them 2.5 stars, but i don’t have that choice. besides, the guy working there was super nice and accommodating, so i’m rounding up.

I’m trying to reserve my first «1 Star Review» for an incredibly horrible place… and though this place is pretty horrible, it doesn’t meet my 1 star requirements.
THE ONLY REASON we ate here for breakfast is because we stayed in the hotel that its a part of.
We were the only ones in the restaurant (and I hesitate to use that term). They has two different tv stations playing, as well as the radio through the intercom… at first I was able to mute it all out, but then at one point during breakfast I realized ALL THREE noises, and it was quite annoying.
The food wasn’t the worst in the world, but it also wasn’t the best. It was a bit pricey considering what you were being served. I ordered the carnitas scramble… I barely touched my food. Are carnitas supposed to be sweet? I don’t think so.
It was just blah. I am rethinking this two stars thing. maybe it should be only one… but there were no bugs or rats sightings, so maybe two is appropriate.
They didn’t even have a waiter for goodness sake! The cook came out and took our order. She was really nice, but no habla ingles isn’t really what I wanted to deal with at that moment.
I will never come back here. lol. You’ve been warned.

After all the lousy reviews I was kind of afraid to come here, but it turned out to be OK. My knitting group’s been looking for a new place to meet and this place seemed like it’d be accommodating so we decided to give it a try. I used to go to the Mosher’s on Atlantic in Bixby Knolls quite frequently, but since that one closed down I haven’t been to any other locations. Was surprised to see one open up at this weird run-​down hotel. It was much bigger than I thought it’d be, and while pretty clean, the furniture and fixtures are pretty worn. There weren’t very many other patrons so our group kind of had the place to ourselves, which was nice, but I felt kind of sorry for how dead this place must be usually. There were only two people working here – the cook and the guy in front who took all the orders, bused the tables, and did the waiter duty. He was probably busier than he’d ever been with our 20+ group of people, but he managed to do OK. The service was very amateurish, but the guy was nice and full of enthusiasm so I’m cutting him some slack.
I ordered my customary turkey and avocado, and I must say it was pretty good. Their ingredients always seem to be fresh and it was a good-​sized sandwich. Well, considering that the stuff’s on the pricier side for a casual joint I guess they should at least give you a good portion. The other ladies in the group got pastramis, reubens, tuna mazatlans, hot dogs, and hamburgers and everyone was pretty happy with their food so no complaints there. They do serve beer and wine here, but don’t expect a good selection (or any selection) of wine – it’s either red or white. This place turned out to be good for our group, but I don’t know if it’d be worth it for regular people unless they’re really craving some pastrami. I guess there aren’t any other places in the immediate vicinity that serves good pastrami with plentiful convenient parking.

I used to eat here semi regularly when they were in Signal hill area, but it went downhill faster and faster. Now I would not even send Osama (or Obama) here. The angry white guy owner hires only illegal aliens (the kid that I got to know who worked there informed me of this, hope he still has his job, and admittedly was an illegal himself) because they will put up with his shit. The quality was mediocre deli style before but now I can say I have had better food off taco carts in TJ… Soon to be out of business I am sure… Not to leave out the location, this sketchy motel looks like a recovery center for the non hollywood crowd…

I have had a sandwich from the original Mosher’s and it was really good. So when they opened up at the Seaport Marina Hotel (which should have been torn down in the 80’s!!!) we thought we would give it a try.
I had called earlier in the morning to find out what time they serve breakfast until. An unintelligible male voice answered the phone and after I repeated my question three times, he said «all day» or something to that effect.
We were going there for a mid morning breakfast, taking advantage of the coupon in The Grunion Gazette. We arrived at 9:30 am, midweek, so we knew that there would not be a lot of people. One other couple and a guy sitting at the counter. The place is huge.
The waitress came over to take our drink order. We ordered hot tea, with milk. She brought a glass of milk and it took us 5 minutes to explain that we wanted the milk for the tea, just like people put milk in their coffee. We realized at this point that her English was very limited.
My husband ordered the ham and eggs and I ordered corned beef hash. Knowing how good their corned beef had been at their other location, I thought this would be a winner. WRONG!
There were a few chunks of beef with a lot of potato. The «hash browns» were a slice of freezer hashbrown, the sour dough toast was cold and brushed with a liquid margerine. Nasty!
The teas, either my husband’s hot or my iced, were never refilled. One of their buddies (the guy sitting at the counter, the waitress and the cook) came in and they were more interested in having a loud, brash conversation with him.
Hopefully the owner of Mosher’s reads this. What a waste of what could have been a great breakfast.

Have drove past this place many times, finally went to fulfill some cravings of their «Chicago Dogs.» We were the only ones in there. Atmosphere is dull and boring. Music is too loud and absolutely atrocious. The husband and I ordered 2 Chicago-​style dogs and they were decent. The price for one Chicago dog is $ 5.95… wow! Pricey! The meal which includes fries and a drink is $ 8.45. Still pricey. The only reason we’d come back here again is because it’s the only place that we have found which serves Vienna hot dogs.

The service was nice, but the server placed so many lemons in the ice water it was no longer drinkable. The matzo ball soup ($ 6.50) was ridiculously salty. I mean, realllly salty. The sloppy joe’s with fries ($ 7 – 8) was okay, but the sauce was too sweet, lacked many meat chunks, and was served on a sesame bun that broke up too quickly in the liquidly slop. The fries were good. If you need to use the restroom, it’s outside in the hotel lobby area. If you want better food, take a short walk to the In N’ Out across the street.

Simple review.
Came with my girlfriend and her mother wanting to try something new.
Great sandwiches — Deli sandwiches were really tasty. We had the pastrami, corned beef and the grilled reuben. I had the grille reuben and I thought it tasted great, but I’ve never had an authentic so I wouldn’t know what a real reuben would taste like. It came with a side of coleslaw and I ordered some fries. The fries were pretty standard. I had a taste of my girlfriends pastrami and it was delicious. She had a side of potato salad which too was also great.
Service — one word, SUCKED. At first the waiter was overly helpful. I think it was because we were the only ones there at the time, which was right before the dinner rush. Then a few more customers came in and that’s when he disappeared. I took a quick glance up at the kitchen, and he was back there preparing meals as well as taking order such. That’s one thing about this place. They need a few more staff members. There were a total of 3. I needed a refill of my coke and he took like half an hour to come to the table and then another 10 minutes to bring out the refill.
Bottom line if you want a great sandwich it’s a great place. It’s a little on the pricey side, but they taste great. You should probably get it take out though.

Newly opened in the SeaPort Marina Hotel (home to SachiBar), this place is one of 3 or 4 in Long Beach specializing in deli food. It’s just such a funky contradiction that it made a lazy Sunday an amusing experience. The décor is new and nice, but the locale is an old, rundown used-​to-​be-​something hotel turned corporate headquarters for limo service. On top of that, the music playing was old, heavy blues in a Kosher deli atmosphere. None of this was intentional, and that was the funk. The restaurant is placed in the hotel lobby, and the young receptionists were well-​accessorized in their weekend sweats and ponytails.
Plus, there’s a library of cool, old historical travel books for the area. We went on SuperBowl Sunday, and we were the only ones in the whole place (2 more couples showed up mid-​meal).
Our first Mosher’s experience was when a little dive was located on Atlantic Ave. Best hot dogs, pastrami and corned beef! But, alas, it became a SubHut, and now is something we no longer will touch.
Went with expectations, and they were met. Not cheap. $ 10 buys a great deli sandwich and a side deli salad. Here’s the thing. Deli sandwiches – REAL deli sandwiches – should be good, seasoned meat, sliced THIN, piled HIGH, with all the fixins. Even though they looked typical, our ‘wiches were huge. It’s hard to figure out exactly how to approach the first bite without having to open your mouth so wide you get lockjaw.
The meat was tender and tasty, and they use good swiss cheese, on good rye bread, offering a perfect balance. I had the rueben, she had the pastrami. We figured we wouldn’t be able to finish it, but sometimes you just gotta sacrifice feeling as heavy as a tow truck to taste that last bite of great deli goodness. Comes with tasty dill pickle slice, and a choice of macaroni or potato salad, or coleslaw.
The price is steep, but the service was good (*note: with no one there, it was a slam for the single service person). Drinks are refilled free, and there is a condiment bar. We were full and fat and happy with our meal.
Due to price, it’s not a place we’ll go all the time, but we will go back when we want a great deli sandwich.
