Excellent fast service. Really neat,rustic. Menu was overwhelming but that is what a deli is all about. The delis and sandwiches are what they are known for,stick with those foods. Wouldnt recommend the turkey pot pie. I also realized thatvthey have no ksher certification even though they claim they are kosher. Overall,good.

I'm guessing this spot was once great, but alas, they have lost it. I gave them three separate tries and each time was more disappointing than the last. Very mediocre food, actually some stuff was downright terrible, and worst of all, very overpriced. If not for an ok pastrami sandwich, this review would have been one star.

Always great! Just tried the pastrami eggroll. Wow, the most novel, delicious thing I have tried in a long time. You have got to get one. They reheat great in the microwave too.

Very nice clean place. Pretty fast service. Felt the price of a pastrami sandwich was a little high for the size but over all would go back again.

It had been many years since I ate at this kosher deli. My family is from the area, and we ordered from here from time to time. Back as a kid, I never really appreciated Jewish food. Not so today. On a recent nostalgia trip to a few places nearby, my girl and I made this our lunch stop. It looks like a typical, low-key Jewish deli. The only item of note are the various paintings by Chinese artists. This is interesting, as the place doubles as an art gallery (smart idea). They also have a nice, big party room located next door as well under the name the Peach Pit. Our server was very pleasant and efficient, even helping some of the elderly guests to get up and sit down; on the contrary, the Indian bus boy working that day was annoying enough that eventually I just told him to leave us alone. That aside, there isn't much like drinking a Dr. Brown's black cherry in a Jewish deli that, thankfully, can still cook the old school way.
We started off with an order of latke chips and matzoh ball soup. I have no idea why someone hasn't thought of making smaller, crisper latkes like this before, instead of the hockey pucks you normally get. They were crunchy with soft potato innards, and greasy without being too much so. Pretty damn perfect with some applesauce. The matzoh ball soup was a sizable portion with a great matzoh ball, although I typically prefer more shmaltz in my soup. For accoutrements, their cole slaw and pickles (particularly full sours) were great. We split a pastrami on rye for our main, which was tasty. The pastrami was melt in your mouth fresh with flavor to spare. A little lighter on the spicing and marbling could've been a but better, but a great sandwich nevertheless. I just wish they had better rye bread; their homemade mustard (great) was needed to rectify this. All of that, with some leftover latkes and part of the sandwich to go, was a pretty epic lunch. Great to see my old neighborhood holding down the Jewish deli tradition.
