This simple Downtown eatery sports an international menu of lunchtime favorites. The star of the show is the bulgogi cheesesteak aka the gogi hoagie. Korean marinated ribeye is topped with provolone, jalapenos, and sesame seeds for an east-meets-west collab of epic proportions. 

Culver City’s beloved Italian deli Victor Jr’s doesn’t serve the most traditional replication of Philly’s most famous export, but when prime beef and grilled onions are topped with provolone and mozzarella, no one’s complaining. 

USC’s go-to cheesesteak ships in their rolls from Philly before loading them up with thinly sliced ribeye, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and jalapeno nacho cheese.

Westsiders have the Great Western Steak & Hoagie to call their own, with divey digs that makes the experience feel all the more authentic.

Did you know that Venice mainstay offers more than just great burgers? The cheesesteak with peppers, onion, mayo, and melted American cheese on a sesame seed roll is a sleeper hit at what was supposedly Jim Morrison’s favorite Venice hangout.
