-Because the cheesesteaks are good enough to transport you directly to America's former capital city, Philadelphia;
-And, after you've two-fisted your way through this decadent, toothsome and rib-sticking sandwich, you'll wanna make like ROCKY BALBOA and do a celebratory sprint up those very same stairs!
Your favorite Yelp correspondent loves a well made cheesesteak, has enjoyed authentic ones from both Pat's King of Steaks and Geno's in the City of Brotherly Love plus every west coast -no pun intended!- variant of the same. Philly's Best, Charley's Cheesesteaks and the Bronx Deli. And several others.
I'm here to proclaim (loudly!) that West Coast Cheesesteaks makes the very best Philly style cheesesteak...that I've ever enjoyed on, well, the West Coast.
I ordered the West Coast Special, size large. It features the obligatory razor-thin slices of certified angus beef, onions, mushrooms, peppers, jalapeños and your choice of several cheeses (provolone, cheddar, poblano and chipotle). I'm a purist, so I selected provolone for mine.
The bread is undoubtedly like a good woman- Strong and sturdy enough to cradle its copious fillings, yet soft enough to engender affection. Lovingly dusted with cornmeal, which creates a wonderful final textural note for your mouth.
The taste had me grinning like a banshee at my good fortune. Owner/Chefs Michael and Jessica have clearly done their homework. The ratio of steak to onions to peppers/shrooms seems mathematically precise and extremely well balanced. Ditto with the melted provolone.
Can't tellya how many pretend hoagies I've had where the portions are outtve balance and you wind up with an overpriced cheese or mushroom-forward sando.
Size-wise? You'll get your hard-earned money's worth. These are not the slightly thin hoagies churned out by Philly's Best nor will they try to be cute and hide the (pricier) meat under a blanket of cheese and onions (looking at you, Charley's!).
West Coast Cheesesteaks are bona fide TWO-FISTERS! Lovingly crammed to its depths with unctuous layers of equable flavors that actually complement each other.
The service I experienced during my visit was exemplary. The young man (no visible name tag but dark haired with a sleight frame) who took my order was very nice. He repeated my order back to me for accuracy and even graciously offered me a water cup during my brief (less than 5 mins) wait.
Today's meal cost $19.27, incl taxes and tip.
In closing, I'll say that I wanna pinch myself.
I mean, your correspondent here has in the past been known to risk missing a connecting flight during a layover at PHL (Philadelphia Airport) to hire a cabby to drive me the ten miles to Pat's King of Steaks then WAIT FOR MY ORDER! (Eagle-eyed Yelpers: This preceded 9/11 and the subsequent airport security changes governing reentry, etc).
So to learn I can now recreate the divine, uniquely Philly experience of enjoying WELL MADE cheesesteaks without flying to Pennsylvania? And it's only eight or so miles from my Diamond Bar home??!
Quick! Where are those steps?! I'm ready to sprint up 'em, arms propelled skyward in triumph
