For nearly 40 years, Gary's Deli has been serving up traditional deli style food in Corona Del Mar. Here, you can expect a line out the door during rush-hour, and be prepared to take your food to go or eat outside as inside seating is minimal. Gary's matzah ball soup might look modest, but the savory broth packs a knockout punch of flavor. The hefty matzah balls still manage to be light and airy though.

This harbor-side delicatessen has won plenty of accolades for their sandwiches, but just as impressive is their flying saucer-sized bowl of matzah ball soup.. Served with a side of fresh baked rye bread, it's a must order at Harbor Deli. The golden broth is subtle and clean tasting, not overly salty or greasy, with one impressive orb (the perfect happy-medium between a sinker and floater), nestled in a bowl of carrots, cabbage and egg noodles.
