The sandwiches were tasty but very expensive. The amount of meat on each sandwich was large, but no other items on the sandwiches without an additional charge. We were told we didn't leave a big enough tip.

I have eaten at 2nd Avenue deli since Abe the owner was alive. Original on 10 st 2nd Ave and have been eating here on 75th st 1st Ave. Today we received our order. Cornbeef on rye Brisket on rye which were Extra Lean very dry and cold. I never order any deli meats Lean. Both sandwiches were horrible. We ordered French fries asked for Crispy however they were soaked in oil, mushy, stuck together and cold the oil was seeping through the cardboard container. I don’t know what happened to this deli but the food was not up to standards. I will never order from them again. Abe I’m sorry but I tried my best to honor you by still going to the once fabulous deli to created however it’s not what it once was.

I live directly across 1st Ave on E75th St, but placed a delivery order 2 evenings ago. Delivery of luke warm, tasteless matzoh ball soup with noodles and a short, skinny hot dog on a soggy bun took over an hour. The overall cost was close to $40.00

Avoid the tourist traps and get some real kosher deli! 2nd Ave is the best!

You are truly disgusting! Nothing about your so called ingredients will justify the disgustingly over priced food you sell. Thirty dollars for a half sand and cup of soup. Your kind is always trying to get one over on people. You should leave the city. You are thief and disgrace.

The prices here make me sick. Small portions, outrageous prices. Left me feeling like I was taken advantage of. Food is not even that much better than the average diner.

We went in specifically for the pastrami sandwich because of reviewers claiming "as good as Katz's " I can't tell you how wrong they are and how disappointed and angry it made me! This is not even a good sandwich, let alone as good as Katz's, but they still charge you as much as Katz's for it $29.00! I would literally not want this pastrami sandwich again if it was offered for free! Not worth the calories

$7.50 to add sauerkraut to a hot dog?! Ordered for delivery there was barely any meat on our sandwich and we were send a hot dog with no mustard and nothing on it even though we ordered it. Don’t recommend
Upper East Side outpost of the original. Standard NY Deli fare. Matzah Ball soup was good, light and fluffy.

2nd Ave Deli offers delicious, authentic Jewish deli fare, but the prices are definitely steep. A corned beef or pastrami sandwich can cost upwards of $40, which feels excessive for a sandwich, even in NYC. While the quality of the meat is undeniable—tender, flavorful, and generously portioned—the high price tag might give some diners pause.

I have had their special offering of a bowl of soup and half of a sandwich for a fixed price. I found their mushroom and barley soup to be very disappointing because it was weak in flavor. Their pastrami sandwich was very ordinary. Pictured here in my review is the upper east side 1442 1st Avenue location of the restaurant.
