Justin OrdovezaJanuary 7, 2017One of the recommended spots of Anthony Bourdain, it's a solid New York pastrami sandwich. The base sandwich is around $20 if you want more meat the price goes up. There are a few seats.
Lenki VJanuary 14, 2015What an amazing place! Lunch cost us more than a dinner but the overstuffed pastrami sandwiches and pickles were just brilliant! Very tiny might need to wait for a seat but an unmissable place to eat!
Hannah NicdaoAugust 20, 2018Oh my pants. Best pastrami I’ve had in NYC. Humble little space with a few tables and meats that will change your LIFE. Share a hot pastrami sandwich with a friend - it’s more filling than it looks.
Rachael ROctober 1, 2017The garlic fries are a must!! Real chopped garlic is fried along with the potatoes for the most delicious made to order fries. Matzo ball soup is also amazing as a starter for the pastrami sandwich.
Kev SkinnyJuly 15, 2016Very good pastrami. Bread could have used a toasting. My fav is Kensington Deli Great Neck for pastrami. This is def one of the best in the city though.
Serious EatsMarch 21, 2013Pastrami is the specialty here, pricey at $17 for a sandwich, but it might be the best of its kind on the Upper East Side.
MarcMarch 9, 2015“jumbo knishes; fries showered w/garlic chips; unusually appealing “health” salad; Get the pastrami hand-cut & the resultant slices are juicy,crumbly,fiendishly good” – GS: http://tinyurl.com/m8jpzn3
Tara DîanaJanuary 16, 2018The pastrami is definitely good, as well as their giant knishes, but call to make sure that the items you want are in stock. They really hate phone orders and can be grumpy.
Stephen PerleJanuary 5, 2020Obviously pastrami but the kreplach are like my mom’s and the meat kinish is a delicious meal unto itself.
Noah XifrNovember 20, 2015Best chopped chicken liver here. Best matzoh ball soup and knishes elsewhere.
AdaPia D'ErricoFebruary 9, 2013Very very good sandwiches and they don't charge a sharing fee like some other places! No tourist stop. This is the real thing!
Alexander KosterSeptember 16, 2014Great pastrami sandwich. Potato kinish great too. Locals were ordering similarly. Kosher too. Will need to try kasha kinish next time.
Natalie LeMossSeptember 8, 2020The pastrami is piled high, and comes with a strong mustard sauce and another sweeter mayonnaise based sauce. I’m a fan!- Mark KozlowskiJanuary 4, 2019Server offered us free pastrami as he was sure we’d like some. We weren’t going to buy any. We got 3 sandwiches.
NearSay NYCJuly 28, 2011This UES haven offers an exceptionally tasteful pastrami platter consisting of thick juicy slices of spicy pastrami and rye bread. A bit on the $$ side but well worth it!- Ben K.October 21, 2012I was pleasantly surprised that PQ hand slices their pastrami. Also the homemade knishes and latkes are colossal and delicious.
Brandon BrowneJuly 20, 2021Obviously get the pastrami, but the brisket, corned beef and latkes are excellent as well- Noah XifrNovember 20, 2015Best chopped chicken liver in NYC. Rivals Grandma's. Yeah I just said that. #food #foodporn #liverPOWER! :-)
Angela KuzmenkaApril 2, 2016We ordered the meat by the 1/4 lb and 2 slices of bread, much better deal than the $17 sandwich.
Monica CullenDecember 26, 2015A pricey hot pastrami sandwich is worth it! No cheese at this place though! They are legit!
Natalie MJanuary 11, 2015Had the pea soup, pastrami sandwich, pickles and a knish. It was good but not great. I'd say Katz has the corner of the market.
Bucky SchwarzJune 9, 2012Amazing pastrami. Share the sandwich with your best girl - friendly on the wallet and the waistline.

Frank KimFebruary 20, 2011They boast a $16 pastrami sandwich, just as the name of the place suggests, a pretentious price, cus although the sandwich is hefty, it's a lil dry and I've tasted tastier pastrami honestly.
Christina DynamiteMarch 27, 2014Beef brisket that is so tender it make my teeth tickle when I bite it.
Colin RochesterApril 24, 2012Do yourself a favor. Take the xtown bus and go to lanskys for a much better sandwich for cheaper. Or go to katzs for the real "best of NYC- Excellent matzah ball and noodle soup, pastrami, and cornbeef.
Rebecca WAugust 20, 2014It's okay. If you're going to spend that much money you might as well go to the 2nd ave deli.
Doug CMarch 10, 2013Small but lots of food. I understand they don't have milk for kosher reasons, but no coffee? No coffee on the menu wasn't cool.
