A light emitting device includes a light emitting element whose upper surface is a light extraction surface, and a light-transmissive member that has an upper surface and a lower surface, and covers the light extraction surface of the light emitting element. The light-transmissive member contains a phosphor. The upper surface and the lower surface of the light-transmissive member are both flat surfaces and parallel to each other. A side surface of the light-transmissive member has a protruding portion that protrudes to the side and has contact with the lower surface.
