Boos Philly Cheesesteaks and Hoagies

Loved our Philly cheesesteak from Boos! We got the one with provolone and loved it! It isn’t as heavy on your stomach as it looks! Next time I will pass on the friends and I will be trying the one with wiz!

Found this place on Unilocal.
Definitely worth the drive. Got a philly cheesestake with half American cheese and half cheese wiz. So good. The bread was fresh. Got a side of pizza fries. Pizza fries were good but probably wouldn’t get again. Would have put different cheese on top but still was pretty good
But One of best cheesestake I have ever had

If you want an authentic Philly Cheesesteak, run, don’t walk to Boos. This is no frills goodness at its best. And the fries are awesome. Nice, friendly staff. Great, great food!

Best cheesesteak I’ve had in Los Angeles. The staff is really friendly and the sandwiches have never disappointed me. Good fries, too.
The only downside is they serve Pepsi.

My boyfriend and I love coming here! The environment is chill, dope to eat in. Have t.v. For sports! I’ve never been a fan of philly steak, but this change my mind and I only eat here!!! Highly recommend

Hey Boo! Yay Boo!!!
Boo’s is a solid good sandwich.
I don’t like cheese, not at all. But I love Steak.
It’s always a challenge to order my oddly customized «Cheese Steak» hold the cheese sandwiches. Often the cheese is what makes the sandwich tasty and moist in many opinions, and without the cheese it can be less flavorful and dry.
Not the case here at Boos ‘tho.
The sandwich was moist and tasty. They cook the meat well, ‘tho I did inquire about having it done more «medium rare» which they would accommodate, but I opted to get it done their way on my first visit, and it turned out great.
Parking could be tight, but there’s adjacent Silverlake neighborhood residential parking in the adjacent streets, at least there was on a weekend daytime, not sure how it is at night or during peak hours.
The menu is no frills, it’s sandwiches, fries and drinks for the most part, but that’s all you need.
The service was both fast and friendly too.

I’m from the Philly Metro area and have had plenty of the city’s best cheesesteaks. I was expecting to get something close in quality here due to reading the reviews. I got a Wiz Wit here and the roll was too soft and chewy. Not quite like the Amorosos I’m used to. This place isn’t bad for a quick bite. but it falls very far short to the greatness of a real Philly cheesesteak. Don’t expect that.

First off the food here is bomb I love this place. FOOD WISE. The service however is pretty bad. I purchased a to go order a couple months back probably in May and the gave me one of my sandwiches without cheese. I called back and spoke with the young Korean guy who’s always there. I explained that I was at work and won’t be able to go back since it took 40 mins of my lunch to go get the food. Anyway he told me to just tell him the situation the next time I go in and he will give me a free sandwich. So I literally have not been back since today and I told him the whole situation and it’s been a couple months and he said he could not accommodate me because it’s been too long. So ya service sucks he should still fix where they dropped the ball but whatever. Can t say that I won’t be back cuz the cheesesteak is too bomb

Literally so good I come here 4 or 5 times a week get the cheesesteak with wiz or the pepper cheesesteak with american SO good unbelievable flavors and a staff that beyond compare. A+ only note is I’m still waiting for my delivery it’s been an hour pretty hungry. Still A+ tho

I got a little scared pulling up to Boos, no punnyness. The building is a little run down with a very tight small parking lot.
I was relieved to see a Hip (bearded) Asian (know their meat) Dude (intimidated by cute servers) when I walked in. I ordered a cheesesteak with wiz $ 8.95 and small fry $ 2.05. HAD repeated the order and verified grilled onions s & p were okay. Yup.
I wasn’t real sure of the meat on the flat top so I just turned away and waited for steak judgment after eating.
The fries were cooked to perfection, nice deep golden brown, not greasy and all good size not little stubs. The c steak was covered in whiz, enough to dip the fries in. It was smaller than the pictures but not small, medium but heavy. It was piping hot and plenty of meat and cheese. They have good hot Italian peppers, the red and green ones. I’m really happy I spotted this place on Unilocal,bookmarked then hit ASAP in 2016. What a sandwhich to start off the year. Honestly I could eat another back to back but don’t feel the need to as can happen with smaller versions and poor proximity to CS this good.
Some guy next to me ordered a hoagie. It was loaded with veggies and pickle on top. Looked good if you prefer cold sammy and lower cholesterol.
PS I’m not scared anymore, satiated.

Had the cheesesteak with onions and cheese whiz. It’s was pretty good although would rather the bread had been plain. They have parking which is super convenient. Would go back.

After searching for a good place to eat after dropping gifts off at the children’s hospital I came upon this place. The menu is quite simple. Cheesesteaks and hoagies. I had the best cheesesteak sandwich I have ever had. I ordered it with mushrooms and provolone cheese. You have three cheese options: provolone American or cheese whiz. Next time
I’ll try the «original» Philly cheesesteak with cheese whiz. I would have gave them 5 stars if wasn’t because trying to find parking is a hassle. They have about 5 parking spots.

First time going here. I had the regular Cheesesteak and a coke. First, let me say the Cheesesteak was FANTASTIC. I will go back for sure for the food. They cost about 10 bux each.
The service however was terrible. They were very busy and only had 3 staff members. The guy at the counter seemed so stressed, irritated and about to lose it. Almost spastic. They misplaced my order and served others that came in after me. They gave me my sandwhich w/​o a basket and tray. I wanted to eat there.
Service NEEDS to be fixed. Then 5 stars.

Pretty bomb in terms of similar taste to the Philly cheesesteak. They have the hoagie which is soft and tasty and same with the flavor of the meat. You can get any type of cheese you want but the cheese whiz is the traditional. Get peppers and onions and add mushrooms for extra. If you want lettuce and tomatoes, you can get them to add it for you for a little extra also. Only downside is the area and parking and the extra costs of everything added.

If you’re reading reviews to consider coming here just freaking come. It’s delicious. Cheesesteak ftw.

I’ve come here on several different occasions and have never been disappointed. Although I’ve tried a few different cheesesteak options my favorite is the peppered cheesesteak. Their fries are great to accompany as well when feeling super hungry.
Boo’s is across from what used to be Don Felix Peruvian and a whole lot of other places that used to be around. In this ever changing area, I think Boo’s will be a long term staple. Thank goodness!
*Side note*- Better than Geno’s in Philly (My review states why). Thanks for welcoming everyone with a smile :)

Why you so good, Boo?!
A philly cheesesteak is my favorite sandwich to eat in the world. No one can deny the comforting and savory quality that comes with each. At Boo’s, they make THE best in Socal and most comparable to the one’s I had in Philly. If wanting to find my favorite in the US though, I’d direct you to Dalessandro’s in Philly, which to me, beats Pat’s, Geno’s, and John’s.
For $ 8.95, you’ll get a massive hoagie with thinly sliced steak, grilled onions, and your choice of cheese. This is where I implore you to get cheez wiz. Although provolone is the popular and classic choice, you’re certain to neglect your tastebuds if choosing that route. GET THE WHIZ instead! It elevates the rich taste and in my opinion, unifies all the complementing flavors of a cheesesteak much better. The steak is tender, thinly sliced and gloriously excessive at first glance. I LOVE how they order the Amoroso roll’s straight from philly too, since these soft rolls authentically hold the meat, cheese, and juices better than any other roll.
For only $ 2.75, you can order a side of LARGE fries that are fresh and comparable to In N Out’s, but slightly thicker.

Conclusion: Located in a questionable area with heavy traffic, Boo’s serves some fantastic and affordable cheesesteaks that could compete with many spots in Philly. One can be shared among two people, but with how good they are, you may want to be selfish. Don’t miss out on this soon to be iconic cheesesteak joint in silverlake/​K-​Town. Ill be sure to come back to try their Pizza Cheese Steak and pizza fries!
Extra Notes:
–Accepts credit card
–Sandwich does get soggy after a while, but with the juices within, that can’t be avoided. Eat with haste.
–Friendly, fantastic service
–Décor could use some work as furnishings look run down and old. Outside of building looks sketchy too
–Parking lot is tiny – street parking is available though
–Restrooms could be cleaner

My second time here and still don’t get it. First time the bread was soggy and the cheez whiz just did not do it for me at all. Today I wanted to give them another try and see. I was not really impressed at all. MY last visit here.
+++STEAK, MUSHROOM, PROVOLONE WITH EXTRA MEAT+++
The sandwich was served really sizzling hot. Lots of meat, enough mushroom and cheese was in the bottom. The bread tasted much better this time than my previous visit. Not as soggy. But my problem still with the meat. Until now I don’t really know if the meat they are serving is RIB EYE STEAK, I doubt it. The taste just does not do it for me and still like first time, chewy unseasoned as well, had to add salt to it.
Well, with all the good reviews maybe its time to go have my taste bud checked with my Doctor… On second hand, hell no, I know what I was eating.
I still like my Sam Philly in Tarzana the best out of all them.

Boo’s philly is centrally located in Korea town. Its right near Boiling Crab and Honeymee.
I walked in a Sunday afternoon. It was kinda empty at the time. The employees are attentive and greeting you right away.
I ordered the Boo Philly Cheese with Cheeze Whiz and Onions. The bread tasted generic, nothing special. The Steak was out of the freezer it seemed. It worked together. It wasn’t memorable and I probably am not going to come back.

The philly cheesesteaks here are delicious and are served piping hot! On my first visit, I opted for a half provolone/​half cheese whiz philly cheesesteak with mushrooms. While the provolone offers that gooeyness you get from fresh melted cheese, I loved the creaminess and flavor of the cheese whiz with the sandwich. The cheese whiz saturates the tender cuts of meat and it just becomes an amazing sandwich. The bread they use also goes very well with the meat and cheese.
The parking lot is small and can fit about 5 cars but street parking is relatively easy. I can’t get enough of this place. Give it a try!
