Philippe The Original

Open

Chinatown, Los Angeles

Arrive mid‑week for free parking and short lines.
Try the lamb dip with the house blue‑cheese spread.
Swap the coleslaw for potato salad if you prefer milder sides.

At Philippe The Original, the sandwich that birthed the French dip sits behind a vintage cafeteria counter, where patrons can order beef‑laden rolls on fresh French bread and watch the gravy pool.
