"Absolutely, and we’ve made a list of Chinatown’s best to steer you away from the stomach-turning dives...."
"And if the restaurant is too crowded, grab your sandwich to go and enjoy your meal across the street at the recently completed pocket park in the large median at Main and Alameda or the always-pleasant La Placita Olvera that still has that Old Los Angeles..."
"Mathieu sold the business in 1927 to the Martin family, whose descendants, the Binder and Downey families, still own and run it. In 1951, to make way for the Hollywood Freeway, Philippe moved from its original Aliso Street location to its present site nea..."
"The heritage of the famous French dip sandwich was famed to have started at this 1908 brick two story one block from Union Station. The five thousand that enter its` doors daily come from all walks of life and sit at long lacquered tables over sawdust cov..."
"haha I didn't mean that they make better milk buns than my mom, my mom's are the best! (cuz she stuffs them so full they're practically exploding ;D) it's just that the bakery sells a new improved milk bun, cuz it also has real taro paste in it...."
"'s oldest restaurant (1908), but it may also be where the French dip sandwich originated. Here you can get one made with beef, pork, ham, lamb, or turkey on a freshly baked roll; the house hot mustard is as famous as the sandwiches...."
"Available October thru June, the apple was soaked in cinnamon and sugar, and actually tasted good, but since everybody else ordered pie or cheesecake, I clearly fell short. I never got a bite of the coconut cream pie or cheesecake, so they must have been..."
"Good old-fashioned value is what this legendary landmark cafeteria is all about. Popular with both South Central project residents and Beverly Hills elite, Philippe's unspectacular dining room with sawdust floors is one of the few places in L...."
"The décor of this cavernous landmark---founded in 1908, it"s one of the city"s oldest eateries---is early fast-food: sawdust on the floors, vintage neon beer signs and high stools along communal tables. People have been lining up at the huge counter..."

"Philippe The Original - They invented the French Dip Sandwiches. Legend has it that like all great inventions, it started off as an accident...."
"Sitting down at a long, communal table in the large restaurant, I reach for the amazing Philippe's mustard and dress my sandwich. I always have a pot of Philippe's mustard in my refrigerator, ready to put on anything and everything...."
"At the glass-enclosed counter, the anticipation is palpable when customers watch the server make the mouthwatering, addictive beef, pork or lamb French dip sandwiches. The classic dip is nothing like those at chain restaurants—or any other deli, for..."
"From hot spots to hot dogs, LA has its own special brand of eateries. You can be uptown, downtown or just low-down--there's something for everyone...."
"Ice Tea or Lemonade & the hot mustard at Phillippe’s? Yes, the line can be refined,however, it is not the line that is the main obstacle, It is the fact that all the transaction has to go through a SINGLE person!..."
"Yesterday, in my further adventures downtown, I went to Philippe’s (100 years old!) for the first time in my 22 years of living in Los Angeles. And after all I heard and read, it did not disappoint!..."
") has long been raved about for its perfectly spiced pastrami and the best crisp kosher pickles west of Brooklyn. But the eatery’s star has also been rising in the political firmament...."
"Philippe’s is the spiritual home of the French dip, that famous sandwich of carved meat layered onto a jus-soaked roll, imitated, never successfully, all over the United States for even longer than John McCain has been alive...."
"The menu offers many sides: potato salad, olives, chile peppers, sour dill or sweet pickles. The best are the not-too-sweet coleslaw — crisp, fresh and perfectly dressed — and the pickled eggs...."
"Some of Philippe's fame is based on the claim that Philippe Mathieu(the original Philippe) created the French Dip sandwich by accident in 1918. In the original "you got peanut butter on my chocolate" moment Philippe apparently came up with a bad..."
"The lamb is gamy, the blue cheese is pungent and strong and the mustard packs a wallop. The slaw is nothing special but it cuts the heat of the mustard and the eggs are a beautiful shade of purple...."
"However, a proper French Dip, and one that calls itself "the original,� is new to me. You see, my sister Jenn has had a lifelong love affair with French Dip sandwiches that started with Arby"s...."
"Even though my Baltimore Colts were stolen, by that drunk bastard, I still love the Baltimore Colts. One of the worst things that ever happened to me was when my Baltimore Colts were stolen by that drunk bastard, in the middle of the night on March 28, 19..."
"Somehow the mix of a soggy Kaiser roll, a few shavings of fatty roast beef, and a side of generic brand-quality cottage cheese and a chalky wedge of tomato doesn't whet my appetite...."
"Since 1918, this place has been serving the best French-dipped sandwiches in the world. That seems logical because it was the original Philippe who claims to have invented the juicy concoction nearly a 100 years ago...."
