Busy Bee Market

I REALLY wanted to love this. The staff was efficient but zero personality. No conversation or atmosphere at all. Super quiet & they were just going through the motions. I ordered a turkey & swiss and it had lettuce and what was likely half a cup of mayo & mustard. See photos. No tomatoes, black olives, or anything else. $16 (cash only) and out the door. Also, checkout the slicers and food prep tables in the photos - they were a mess. Meat left out & countertops are not cleaned up. This was just OK but not enough where I'd return.

My sister brought me and my daughter here recently and I am certainly happy she did. The selection of sandwiches available, but hot and cold varieties, was certainly pleasing to see. But when I saw that they had one called the Belly Buster that allowed you to combine two of the available meats, I knew which one I was going for. I settled on using pastrami and corned beef and I am glad I did. The taste of both meats was absolutely exquisite. It's been a long time since I have a good deli sandwich like this. Both meats were flavored deliciously, and the provolone cheese in the sandwich was creamy and delicious. I would highly recommend trying this place out as I'm planning my next trip here this coming week to try another of their selections.

This place is a sandwich store with some liquor market items. This place gets super packed and busy once lunchtime rolls around so I highly recommend coming early or brace for a wait. My friends and I got the pastrami and the belly buster (pastrami/meatball). Needless to say, this sandwich is huge and basically almost 2 meals. The pastrami was very good and moist and tender. Not too fatty. The peppers are a nice touch and the sandwich was soft along with the spread. The meatball was apparently the winner out of the two for the belly buster. It's been said the sausages are pretty good too. Parking is free but very hard to find especially on peak meal hours. I'd come back here to try the other items they have. It's roughly about 20$ per sandwich and they don't take credit card here.

I got a chance to revisit my old high school lunch "go-to" last year (October 2024) but forgot to put up a review. Well, 40 years later, the same family owns it and it was just as good upon my return as it was all those years ago. We not only had a lunch during our visit to Pedro but be we stopped and got a couple more sandwiches for lunch before our flight at the airport on our way home. It's nice to see that some of the the "old places" are respected and remain reliable! Thanks to the Lee family for keeping the memories alive!!

Best Italian hot/cold sandwich places. Generous portions, reasonable price, freshly delicious made. Been here since 1978 in the same family passed down through a few generations. It's literally a deli in the middle of the neighborhood with nothing but houses surrounding it. Highly recommend calling in to order then pick up. There's always a line and it can be long. The hot pastrami is my favorite. Everyone I know loves their roasted pork. The bread is soft and delicious. If it's your 1st time, try the Belly Buster which allows you to pick any two type of meat to put in your sandwich so you can sample more of their menu. I always stock up and get like 6 sandwiches to eat throughout the week.

Very busy and great sandwiches worth the wait. Flavorful hot and cold sandwiches. Best pastrami hands down soft and savory laid on a soft pillow of bread! I can see why there’s traffic here and limited parking but hidden gem for sure

Finally got to try this place thats been a longtime mainstay of San Pedro on my last trip up to LA. No line since I went early when they opened, had to try their specialty Belly Buster with sausage and meatball. Cash only so came prepared. Wasnt sure if it was going to rain again that day so decided tp bring it back to where I was staying. Lucky thing because this sandwich is a mess when you dig in.... Lucky I didnt stop to eat it at a park. Bread held up somewhat though a bit soggy from the tomato sauce but its a hearty meal and a great sandwich. Only went through half the sandwich before tapping out. Would go again and try their other less messy subs... 4 stars🤙
