    Extremely friendly staff and a high quality menu. I love coming in for the bagel and lox in the morning and I’ll come back in the afternoon for the reuben. The food is fresh and delicious and before I knew it I became a regular. If you’re in the area don’t miss out!!

    Typical deli, over priced and kinda rude! Maybe it's because I'm black. Moon's sandwich shop doesn't say Jewish deli, if I went to an Italian deli does this make the service and food good?!?

    The Corned beef, pastrami, and rugulah were awesome. Ordering through the app was very easy as well. I will definitely order again. Thanks!

    Foods great. Service is weird. Asked for 2 chix noodle soups. He gave me matzo ball soup because said he grabbed the wrong one. Whatever. Didn’t care until I realized it was still cold. If they were warmed up I wouldn’t have cares because it would have been “used”, but they were cold. Why didn’t you just grab the chicken noodle? Had I known I wasn’t getting hot soup I would’ve pressed him for my chicken noodle. So weird.

    I’ve been going here now regularly for a year and it’s such a pleasure to have an authentic Jewish Deli here in Wicker/Bucktown area. Phenomenal bagels/bialy, but I really come back regularly for the Reuben. They take pride in their work and like the sandwiched sky high with fresh incredients. Usually one sandwich and a bag of chips makes it 2 meals for me, and the flavor is delicious.
