A light emitting device includes a light emitting element having a first face positioned on an emission face side of the light emitting device, a second face opposing the first face, and lateral faces disposed between the first face and the second face, a light transmissive member formed from a resin-containing material, covering at least a portion of the lateral faces of the light emitting element and having a first face positioned on the emission face side, a covering member covering an exterior of the light transmissive member and having a first face positioned on the emission face side, a wavelength converting member covering the first face of the light emitting element, the first face of the light transmissive member, and the first face of the covering member, and a light reflective film including a first reflective film portion made of an inorganic material disposed between the exterior of the light transmissive member and the covering member, and a second reflective film portion made of an inorganic material disposed between the first face of the covering member and the wavelength converting member.
