The popular corned beef sandwich with swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Russian dressing has a few different origin tales. Some say the reuben sandwich originated when the silent movie actress Anna Selos ordered a “combination” sandwich one late night in 1914 at Reuben’s Restaurant in New York. Others say it was the creation of Reuben Kulakofsky, a grocer from Omaha, Nebraska. Regardless, the reuben is one of the most revered sandwiches on any delicatessen menu. Everyone has a favorite and here are five of the top-rated Los Angeles restaurants to order this celebrated sandwich.

best Ruben i've ever had is right here in the Glen... the meat is shredded not simply sliced so when you take a bite you NEVER have to fight the sandwich

LA has no clue. Kraut on top of un-melted swiss on what looks like toasted whole wheat.
Now THIS is a reuben!!

I agree. Most of those don’t look like what I consider a reuben and I wouldn’t eat them. I want them hot with grilled bread and melted cheese.

The worst, and most expensive, Reuben I ever had was in a mall in Century City, called, I think, “New York Deli.” Absolutely tasteless.

Brent’s in Northridge. Black Pastrami Reuben. Hands down. Don’t question me. Go.-Wb

Hear, hear! It's not a Reuben unless that rye is butter-crisp and the Swiss is gooey. And I'm not going to delve into the pastrami vs. corned beef argument - I'm a culinary Philistine on the matter. I want BOTH. LOL
