I filmed this video about a week ago but it looks like in that short interim they have raised the price of pastrami to $19.25 and corned beef to $18.95. It's still cheaper than most delis in the NYC area but the price has gone up quite a bit. Just wanted to clarify for you all
Eat that fuckin sandwich already! Over 12:00 minutes before sandwich review, Also eat the sandwich first when its hot so you can give it a honest review.. then eat the side's Rookie.
Really proud of dat the growth of your channel, I was watching your material way back when it first started baby steps and all, so ya know - ya kind of feel like “our own”, for those who watched you from the beginning. Love your stuff man. Great work
Glad you finally visited this spot. I went about 2 weeks ago and the pastrami is simply wow! I brought 2. One for me and one for a friend. Blown away. I ordered ahead as my order was ready when I arrived. I had it to go. Can't beat the price. Going again soon. Forget the wait and the price at Katz's.
Too bad by ordering in advance though you didn't get to see them slice it! But yes, the food is excellent and as good as Katz's just without the insane line and price
that broth is clear cause it's a reconstituted shelf-stable product, probably Minor's (a very common brand for gravy/broth found around the country in restaurant supply catalogues)...unless you saw the kitchen shoving whole chickens in a huge stock pot filled with water and mirpoix.
Its not a free sample there or at katz, they cut a piece of meat that was going on your sandwich anyway. Its a free sample if they give you something that you didnt order.
@@NguyenQuang-tm3ou I agree but don't understand why commenter’s blame him. And sadly why there is/are so much hostility and racial slurs like ‘do Chinese food reviews only’ directed at him; yet these same Trolls still watch his vids?
I grew up in the next town over from Garfield in Lodi, NJ. I have been going to this place regularly for the past few months. The pastrami Rueben’s are insanely good and I agree, they definitely are in the conversation with Katz’s, especially when you consider the much lower prices. I’ve long since moved away but this place is worth the drive.
Apparently the owner of this restaurant was a former employee (slicer from what I read) of Katz's. Totally explains why the free sample and the eerie likeness. I wouldn't be surprised if the pastrami itself is being outsourced from Katz's supplier too.
My Brother!- My dad was a waiter at Wolf's Deli (57 and 6th) Jewish deli all his life. I moved to NJ about three years ago, I know Harolds. I'm heading to this place ASAP. Thanks!
As an 81 year-old born in Brooklyn, male of Jewish background, it is great to see a Chinese person eating in a deli. The verse was always true. You always find Jewish people eating Chinese food, especially on New Year’s Day when no restaurants were open. Many Jews went to Chinese restaurants. It appears you have some experiential background in pastrami and matzoh ball soup. That is good because it is hard to judge a cuisine without some kind of knowledge.Base. the pastrami look great as did the soup. The prices are incredible.
Awww UA it’s so endearing to see you being taken aback when a fan approaches you. No idea how this place is charging 14.95 for giant piles of meat. Insane. What a gem.
In England the “corned beef” you are eating here is called “salt beef” a London Jewish delicacy. Corned beef is a tinned meat served cold in sandwiches with sweet brown pickle ( Branston ) Great review. Loving it
Hey UA. This was a good one man. I think I would definitely lean towards this place over Katz’s for the obvious reasons. No long wait and the price point. The comparison of the actual product is very similar to Katz’s. Thanks bud. 👋🏽
I'm like 20 minutes at most from this place and will definitely be trying it sometime soon. My go to pastrami place back in the days was Carnegie Deli in Manhattan when i used to live there. Cant wait to try this place for sure.
Man, I am just enamored with how many videos you are making these days. Keep up the good work. I really want to travel out east soon; I never seen pastrami like that before.
Another great Jewish deli review UA!!! That looked amazing, and the matzah ball soup looked the closest to my late mothers I’ve ever seen on one of your videos. Keep up the great work!!! ❤
@@maitrehg I guess i should've provided the exact location. But, here in Toronto, you're looking at least 22dollars+tax minimum, and not that much meat to begin with.
Hey UA. Thanks for playing my song I wrote for your background music. Also when you bring your own drinks to a restaurant they might think you’re a little cheap.
Reading the comments, I feel bad for UA over some commentor’s hostilities. I thought he did a decent job reviewing this place. Perhaps it would hv been optically better if he just did not mention bringing the bottle water with him. But overall a good find to me.
Hey Guy, there were three (3) popular NYC deli destinations: Katz's, Carnegie (closed) and 2nd Ave Deli. If you haven't been, I recommend you hit up 2nd Ave, if for no other reason than to checklist. Great food, nice ambience, off Tourist Track, prices likely fall somewhere between Bistro and Katz's.
Great review UA! Everything you ordered looked fantastic! I actually like the greasy. Jewish food was fat concentrated to help sustain through meager times.
If you live in NJ then Pastrami grill is the better choice of the 2. Don’t waste your money on tolls and traffic and gas to pay double the price of a sandwich which is just as good.
I'm not into corned beef, but that pastrami looked delicious. PGB is definitely going on my bucketlist. I've only been to Langer's Deli. Your popularity is well-deserved.👍
Best Jewish delis in New Jersey are Harold’s New York deli in Edison and Eppes Essen deli in Livingston period. That matzoh ball dumpling can’t even hold its shape. Sandwich looks good though I have to admit. The two delis I said above, give them a try. I miss the old Tabatchnick’s in Milburn. They were the best. Pickles right out of the old wooden barrel, the meat pulled out with a pitch fork from the water and sliced right in front of you by hand. I miss them. They even got their soups into famous supermarket chains.
The cool thing about Carnegie Deli back back in the day was that you would often find yourself sitting next to celebrities, sometimes at the same table, because they put different parties at the same table because of lack of space.
You should have went to Hershel east side deli in Reading Terminal market when you where in Philly they have a good sandwich for $16 with just as much meat as these places probably better to it's definitely not dry
Another great review! I really wish I live much closer to NYC or New Jersey, as I live in Toronto Canada and will probably never make it there. I’m drooling right now and wish I had that pastrami sandwich in front of me. UA, if you ever make it up here to Toronto Canada, there are lots of great Jewish jellies here. I really like the pickle bar. It has several locations in the Toronto area but the original one is Leslie Street in North York and I think they have a fabulous pastrami sandwich and die. Sorry that was pickle barrel.
Another great review, UA. Being a fan of corned beef more than pastrami, I agree with you that it wasn't looking so good. Not sure of the name, but my brother used to go to Kosher grocery in Baltimore and bring home some amazing corned beef.
That place is fairly new AFAIK, only opened maybe 2 years ago, I think? Anyway, a friend of mine lives maybe 40 minutes away, and every day after work he goes there and gets a matzo ball soup and pastrami sandwich to go to eat at home. He's been telling me about it for a couple of months now, because I'm from NYC and have been to Katz's and all those famous places (and the not famous places that I still think are better than Katz's but you know, semantics lol). It's a shame I'm in Florida now, because oh boy do I love a good pastrami sandwich. This certainly looks good, and price wise (even with the price literally going up like $5 all of a sudden) it's pretty good.
Those half sour are new dills, basically they are a cucumber they have not been brined long enough. Anybody who loves pickles knows that a cucumber is still not a pickle. 😡
You got to make a trip Arthur Avenue Retail Market in the Bronx if you really have a thing for the best sandwiches. The highest quality of ingredients they use is INSANE.
I write as both a loyal fan and food afficionado. I think that facile comparisons diminish both stakeholders -- with no advantage to either. For many, Katz resonates with old-world charm, high-quality preparations and the incomparable delights of Manhattan's lower east side. Its legendary status is well-placed. The journey to a strip mall in New Jersey, however pleasing the offerings, provides perhaps an alternative dining option, but cannot in any way eclipse the NYC experience.
Great review UA. After seeing you in @NYCHotDogStands channel for Papaya King I am awaiting the collab. I hope he takes you somewhere for dogs and you take him somewhere for anything other than a hotdog... Maybe a salad bar or an açai bowl.
I was informed that all of these delis get their pastrami from the same wholesaler, some of them do some additional steaming or brining, whatever. Is this true?

So roughly 42% increase !!!! 😂😂😂🫡

@@uaeats that sucks, but still a better deal than Katz. Just in Jan/Feb they were only charging $10 -11 for the 8oz which was insane…Bidenomics.
Not loving this..
As a New Jersey local, this is my go to place to for Pastrami sandwiches

By doing a review and giving them business so the Deli raised its prices?

@@goodputin4324 Personally, I’m a fan of both.
@@jjnewman65 which?
Eat first, talk after - no cold soup or stale sandwiches. Problem solved.
I agree TOTALLY!!!
Way too much yapping. Eat and review without all the dramatics.
I think he should let the food sit on the table for 24 hours first and THEN try a bite.
Love this spot! They are definitely better than KATZ and way cheaper! I'm glad you finally listened to your viewers and went here UA!! Thank you😊👍🏽
Go to the Polish Market right next door...superb pierogi and kilbasa selection!
Thanks for the rec!
It's not halal, dude.
@@goodputin4324 who said it was?
Hey UA. This was a good one man. I think I would definitely lean towards this place over Katz’s for the obvious reasons. No long wait and the price point. The comparison of the actual product is very similar to Katz’s. Thanks bud. 👋🏽
I straight up cackled when he said “you smucks” 🤣😂
Been there three times and its consistency is very impressive = Outstanding!
Both the pastrami and the corned beef sandwich looked fabulous! They are very generous for the price
UA, you definitely found a GOLD mine with the Pastrami Bistro. Terrific Reuben!!
Unfortunately paying tolls to get there from NYC to save the money defeats the purpose.
I'm like 20 minutes at most from this place and will definitely be trying it sometime soon. My go to pastrami place back in the days was Carnegie Deli in Manhattan when i used to live there. Cant wait to try this place for sure.

@@maitrehg I guess i should've provided the exact location. But, here in Toronto, you're looking at least 22dollars+tax minimum, and not that much meat to begin with.
Great find. I’ve been wanting to try this place!!
Great review, I will check it out this week. Which do you like better Harold’s or Pastrami Grill?
Excellent review price and quality looked great.Definitely will give it a try. aThanks UA
Yes the quality, quantity, and price were all superb!
A lot of people may disagree, but I personally think Katz is overrated and overpriced. They aren’t bad, but $30 for a sandwich is insane.
Can u say rip off
Alot of people see it the same way... it's a tourist rip off
Demand is a beautiful thing.
it only goes up too
To be fair one sandwich can feed 2-3 people at least.
Hey UA. Thanks for playing my song I wrote for your background music. Also when you bring your own drinks to a restaurant they might think you’re a little cheap.

Glad you made it there!

I challenge you to do Italian delis. They always smell amazing.
WOW! It's "Pastrami Grill Bistro" for the win!!!!
Hey Guy, there were three (3) popular NYC deli destinations: Katz's, Carnegie (closed) and 2nd Ave Deli. If you haven't been, I recommend you hit up 2nd Ave, if for no other reason than to checklist. Great food, nice ambience, off Tourist Track, prices likely fall somewhere between Bistro and Katz's.
Not letting the new chilled-out background music get no sold! Put me in a better mood the longer I watched this video!
We’ve just discovered this place… it’s incredible literally the best turkey sandwich I’ve ever eaten, their brisket is uincredible too
Great review UA! Everything you ordered looked fantastic! I actually like the greasy. Jewish food was fat concentrated to help sustain through meager times.

Looking fforward to you trying Canter's in LA - their tongue and chopped liver are joyously good!
Hi UA if you want the whole chicken soup and chicken and matzo balls it’s called Chicken in the Pot . Thanks for finding a new great place .

Better song choice than what u normally use 👍🏼

do you have to TIP here? if so, how much?
Amazing! I live 20 minutes from Garfield and I am definitely hitting this place!
The outside is soggy. Erm… maybe being sat in a bowl of broth could be contributing to that.
Yeah, While also just talking before taking a bite. Maybe eat first then give a review of hot meals.
YUM!!!
Safe Journey!
Have a GREAT DAY!!!
Great review! That looked like a meal fit for a king! So jealous!
oh great, another pastrami video 😂 i’m assuming the next video will be a steakhouse 😂
the Ragusea shoutout is too funny
Frick, that sandwhich was MASSIVE!! The soup looked delightful as well! I’d I’m ever in the area I will def have to make a stop there!
next time try their brisket and turkey. Phenomenal!
Another great review!

I'm down
19:30 - If you’re in Wisconsin and need a corned beef fix, you hit McBob’s in Milwaukee.
Ate there last week! One of the best Jewish Delis out there. Pastrami, brisket, and latkes are easily the equal of Katz’s. Highly recommend.

Please do an Italian restaurant review / comparison not involving pizza ? Would also love to see. Bagel comparisons ! ❤
I've done Via Carota, L'Artusi, and Eataly before. I can definitely look to do more Italian reviews though!
I'm recommending Rahway bagel ! Amazing variety of bagels !
@@uaeats Consider Anthony Mangier's pizza place. Neopolitan style, looks amazing.
Did that guy give you a hug at 14:34 or did he just hop in the frame? lol
What a find! Great looking food, incredible prices.
If you are ever in Indianapolis, try Shapiro's Deli, and St. Elmo's steakhouse.
You got to try Radins Deli on Evesham Road in Cherry Hill NJ.
Great review . Thanks
Nice one geez. Not sure this lovely meat gear is available in London ?
have you been to Goldbergs deli and bagel in milburn? best bagels lox pastrami etc
Planning to visit Vancouver, BC any time soon? There're some cool restaurants for you to check!
Katz’s is amazing!!😻
Might check them out tmrw! Sounds great.

it was 12 bucks last november when I first tried it. It is great, but they gotta slow down raising up the prices.

Do you like Shell fish? Would love to see you do some Seafood venues. Just subscribed.
He has allergies
Jewish delis and steakhouses are my favorite type of your videos
I don’t even eat pastrami but I would try lol! Never had matzo ball soup either but I wanna try.
This is in my backyard.. love this place

Dang that looks good. I moved to Asia 18 yrs. ago, and haven't had a sandwich like that since.
Yum!!🤤
Not gonna lie that looks fire.
Is it kosher or kosher style ? There is a difference. Also try the kosher deli in glen rock. Bagel nosh. I hear it’s very good
Phillies game (citizens bank park) has a kosher stand with a pastrami sandwich. They have some interesting hours
I was informed that all of these delis get their pastrami from the same wholesaler, some of them do some additional steaming or brining, whatever. Is this true?
13:53 is where the real action starts folks. Great review, thank you.
