Daughter’s Deli is moving into the Sunset Plaza space formerly occupied by Chin-Chin at 8618 Sunset Blvd.
The expansion to the corner of Sunset Plaza will establish Daughter’s Deli as West Hollywood’s largest and only authentic delicatessen.
Daughter’s Deli is owned by Trisha Langer, who is the granddaughter of Al and Jean Langer, founders of Langer’s Deli in Los Angeles. Trisha grew up working in Langer’s along with her father, Norm, who continued the family tradition.
The company is shooting for an April-May opening at the new, expanded location just a few blocks west from where they are now.
According to the company website, this is the story of Daughter’s Deli.
IT ALL STARTED IN THE LATE 1940s WHEN…
My grandparents bought a small deli in Los Angeles. They operated it successfully for many years, and my father later joined their team and worked alongside them for more than four decades. Growing up with a family in the deli business exposed me to a world of tastes, smells, stories, and experiences I wouldn’t have had otherwise. My first job as a little girl was rolling Swiss cheese under the supervision of my Nana because I wasn’t old or tall enough to make my own catering tray for the holidays. Years later, after graduating college and realizing the restaurant business was in my blood, I went to work with my family as they taught me some of the tricks and trades of the business. I spent fourteen years being mentored by my father, bonding over family traditions and recipes created by my Nana, Papa, and himself over the years. In 2015, I married a family man who had a passion for the restaurant business. He insists the moment he fell in love with me is when he asked how my day was, and I told him I had to pull my hair back and hand-cut pastrami that day with my dad because we were busy. Three years later, after having two sons, I decided to begin a new venture with him to create something like my family had created for me. Daughter’s Deli is a place we hope will emulate the feeling of a family tradition while serving quality food.

Boar’s Head imported Swiss cheese, sliced paper thin.
Good luck to them.
I hope they are successful and I hope they aren’t too expensive!
I will go there if that’s where my friends want to go, but Canter’s will always be my first choice!
Always exciting to have something new, always sad to lose something iconic – Ought to be very successful in this new & far superior location – If their expanded business model doesn’t allow for them to keep current HiGh pricing as is, they too will have issues in short time.
While Chin Chin was fun & great for its time, the increased pricing quickly outpaced the experience & food IMO.
Unfortunately, lease costs, overhead, minimum wage, insurances, and COGS make it nearly impossible for restaurants to sustain themselves anywhere at this point. Good luck to the next batter on plate..
It was sad that an established business was forced out to make space for Daughter’s Deli. This is not a restaurant gain for West Hollywood. Chin Chin never wanted to leave Sunset Plaza.
This place is already a rip-off. Can’t wait to see the new pricing!
Another business that was unaware of WeHo’s minimum wage issues and required paid time off for part-time workers before signing their lease.
Huge parking lot coming soon for Daughter’s Deli. The current parking situation is the only thing holding them back. Can’t wait for the move!
My thoughts exactly. I’m legit excited for this. Good luck, Daughters!
