"Authentic deli serving amazing pastrami in a traditional setup. Highly recommended, not too busy compared to the touristy places in New York. Reasonable prices, delicious food, well worths a visit. We were kindly greeted and seated straight after we went in, our soups came in a few minutes and we didn't even finish them when the pastramis arrived too. Very efficient, kind service."

"Spectacular hot pastrami sandwich and Amazing Service. The pastrami is soft and smoky and has a great texture. Definitely worth trying and better than some of the more hyped spots in the city."

"Jewish people who come here tends to rave about it. People rave about the matzo ball soup. The matzo ball soup style was made to be buttery soft. The chicken broth was on the bland side, but still decent. I did enjoy it. The pastrami was on the a bit too salty side. I tend to like fattier cuts. I will ask for it next time. Mine was very lean as most Americans will want that. The price is high. Close to $40 for a meal. I guess it is NYC and Jewish deli will generally charge that much."

"Great service and food. Pricing is high but so is the overall experience and worth it. Complimentary slaw and pickle to start along with desert cookie at the end. Server was very attentive and friendly. Portions are generous and overall we’d certainly come back. Not every place delivers on quality, portions, and service when you pay top dollar, but 2nd Ave does. This was our first time at this location, we had been to the pther one prior to this. Thank you!"

"Much preferred this place to Katz. Was an able to walk in and get seated immediately. Wait staff are super friendly and engaging, order promptly delivered. The pastrami sandwich was epic, incredible juicy Smokey flavoured meat, with the good mustard it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Got talking to the waiter and explained how the brisket at their competition was dry and unimpressive. He had the carvers slice me some to show me how good it was. Unexpected surprise and really well appreciated. These guys who service and do it with panache. Highly recommended"
