I regularly visit for breakfast before work, and it never disappoints. The portions are generous, providing excellent value for the price. The food is always prepared quickly, and the staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. I also appreciate that the TV is usually tuned to the news, which is perfect for catching the day's weather while I wait. Overall, Tom's Number 5 is a fantastic spot for a satisfying and efficient breakfast.

Delicious made to order pastrami burger, tuna melt, pati melt. Good thick fries. One of the last moms & pops burger stands standing. Clean, fast great place for breakfast, lunch or early dinner. They close @ 7PM. Good prices. That are hard to find these days. Filling, satisfying. Friendly owners operators.

Pretty good place to eat today! I got a breakfast burrito with sausage for the cheap price of 8! Pretty hefty sized, too! Haha The sausage was really flavorful and the salsa was spicy! Thanks so much!

Excellent food. It never a hit and miss. They get it right every single time. Everything is always fresh and cooked to perfection. The staff is very welcoming and kind. The inside of the restaurant definitely needs a little help, though. It is not the most enjoyable place to sit and eat, but you probably won't mind because you will be enjoying the great food. It's definitely worth giving a try for breakfast or lunch.

Pastrami sandwich is great, super tasty and meat was fresh. Double cheeseburger is kind of bland. Good prices and friendly service.

Toms #5 is delicious! Best pastrami hands down. Got the pastrami breakfast Burrito and added bacon. They cost around 15 and it’s worth it. That was for breakfast. Went back at lunch time to get the pastrami cheese burger for 7.50 sooooo good! Support a local delicious restaurant, you won’t regret it if you get the pastrami!

Okay one of my favorite quick burgers in LA. Hidden gem if I can say so. Here's why. Pros: excellent speed Very Fresh vegetables and ingredients Affordable and cheaper than most other burger joints. Awesome breakfast menu Big burger Cons: meat patties are thin (but doesn't cost much for another patty.) This same burger would cost me 12 bucks somewhere else. The best part is they cook it with care and flavor. It's a perfect "I need something meaty to eat before work or after" kind of meal. Choosing between in n out and this, this wins.

The pastrami- Cheeseburger combo!! They are really good about getting this up and quick I recommend getting extra mustard and ordering a side of peppers! The combo deal was only 11 plus time to give me some room to chill! I enjoyed every bite that I have to say lol this will be my only meal of the day I’ve got enough food in me to last week what a great video disturbing cheeseburger is absolutely delicious with the pickles crunching and the mustard quenching!
