Correct… They just perfected a few months ago. It’s AMAZING. You’ll want to order two… one is enough tho’. LOL!

grumble. I think I’m going to wait a bit and see if the bread situation changes in the near future. If not, I might go and just check out the knish and go to Langers for a sandwich. Between the parking and bread (and possibly too much salt/smoke on the meat…)…I dunno…

They also do a chicken sandwich, tenders, a french dip with Pastrami… That is what’s nice about this place… it’s not necessarily a one trick pony…

I was all about the M ball soup today. Really dug how clean it is. 2 pastrami sandwiches were torn up by the famalam. I have to say I think i get what they’re doing by the toasting. It totally works for the extra crunch and chew. It’s not a trad pastrami anyway. It’s a smoked brisket really.
Pie is perfect there

Had a very good lunch here, highlights were the pastrami and matzo ball soup. The pastrami was super tender, fatty and smoky, the bread was a bit hard at the edges but overall I liked it. I loved the matzo ball soup though, thanks for the rec @skramzlife and @Dommy. It’s packed with chicken, vegetables, dill, and noodles, broth was really flavorful and the matzo ball was light and fluffy.

Hell yes that soup is lovely. Last time there I let the fam fight over the pastrami as I sat quietly devouring the matza . Love how the noodle holds up! It eats like a somen

I stopped by again as well to try more items.
Very nice outdoor patio seating area.
The pastrami dip uses a different pastrami similar to the Johnny’s of old and The Hat. It was good for what it was, I think they offer this up as an ode to the prior menu as a keepsake. I do like the French roll, it was ice and soft with a slight bite. Wondering if you can get the thick cut Jewish pastrami and whole grain mustard with the French roll.
The smoked fish pasta salad was unique with cucumber, pickled onions and dill along with a cured and smoked salmon. The pasta was a bit too al dente for my liking. I think the chef likes to use fresh dill as it is littered throughout the menu.
The knish is excited nicely. The potatoes couldn’t have been cooked better, the slightest of bites and creamy finish. The exterior dough was crispy and flakey yet structural sound enough to cut and dunk in the accompanying gravy. This was a solid offering, far better than any other knish I had had which is not much outside of Zabar’s or off a street cart in New York. The grainy mustard they use is fantastic.
I just for kicks, I got the fried chicken sandwich. This was a massive sandwich, two monster chicken tenders, some sort of mayo based sauce, pickles all stuffed in a brioche bun. The flavor of the chicken and breading was sort of bland, the sauce helped and adding pickled jalapeños and Franks Red Hot sauce vastly improved the flavor.

Thanks for giving this a shot. And yes, you don’t know the vitriol that was shot their way when old neighborhood folks walked up on their first few days and there was no Pastrami dip. I dunno if they had always PLANNED to add Pastrami on a French Roll… but it could not come fast enough. In fact, they invited some of those naysayers to give a shot when they added it and they gave it a big thumbs up. Again, another reason why I love what they are doing.

It was solid, not that spicy with a crumbly texture, the toasted brioche was really good.

Thanks for the info! I mean at least they are smart enough to give the people what they want! I thought it was better than the old Johnny’s purely because the bread is much nicer.
I still need the get that matzo ball soup.
