Where can I find the most authentic Philly cheesesteak in Los Angeles (and other cities)?

I'm from Philly and get nostalgic for the deliciously unhealthy taste of a good cheesesteak. I've had a few in LA but most fall well short of being authentic. The closest I've come so far is South Street in Westwood, although the second time I ate there it wasn't nearly as spot-on as the first one was.

I'm wondering what everyone else thinks is the best place in Los Angeles or whatever non-Philly area town you're from!

Philly's Best is really the best place for authentic cheesesteaks. They started in Fountain Valley but then expanded throughout Orange County and now to L.A. I've been eating those cheesesteaks since I was 10 years old and it's the closest thing we've got to the real thing.

It's still mostly an Orange County thing, but right now they have locations in Burbank and Pasadena. I hope they come to the west side soon. Go Eagles!

Yep, that's the place I've been to as I said in the question details... The first time I had it it was perfect and brought me right back home! Second time wasn't as good, so I have to wonder about their consistency.
