“ SYCamore St. Always friendly folks and served the community for several generations with good energy and respect. I’m glad they didn’t relocate too far. I wish the parking situation was better over there and I wish they started accepting debit cards, even if they had to charge a fee. The Ambiance at the spot is on point for a Mom & Pop compared to their original flagship location. I brought my son here for his first ever taste of Pastrami. ”
“ Been coming here for more than 30 years. The location has moved a few blocks from where it once was, but one of the original owners of the 3 cousins is still there. The food is the same quality, too. The prices are very reasonable, not what I once use to pay tho lol ( an oki dog, large fries and orange bang for $5) oki dog specialty is 2 hot dogs, Pastrami, chili and cheese wrapped in a giant tortilla. Their fries are made from fresh potatoes. These fries are on my top 10 fries I've ever had ( ask for extra seasoning) ”
“ Food explorers want to get the Oki's Dog sticker on their lunch box! Those who want a unique LA experience will not be disappointed! I'm not saying it's the only place in the world to get hot dog with pastrami, cheese, and chili wrapped in a tortilla. I'm saying this joint delivers an authentic representation LA style in a real life setting by a real family of hardworking people. Delicious. Clean. Friendly. I am so glad my friend who's been eating Oki's Dogs for over 50 years brought me! ”
“ This place is so delicious. Oki dogs are a must try and the pastrami burrito mmmm..oh and the Chicken teriyaki combo so good don't forget the chilli cheese fries ”
“ Yes, this is the spot to get a decent meal for a decent price. The burger is pretty loaded. I didn’t feel hungry after leaving nor did I feel that I was skimped on the food, which is rare in LA. ”
