Went there twice in the past week from how good it was. I ordered the pastrami with Swiss and coleslaw and I was amazed by the amount of flavor it had. I only sat max 5 minutes waiting in line and for my food to be ready. I can’t say this is as good as Katz Deli in New York, but it surely is up there!
I stopped by Herchel’s East Side Deli on a weekday morning just before 11am—only two people ahead of me in line, which felt like a small win given how crowded Reading Terminal can get.
I ordered the pastrami. They press it hot and crisp on the grill, then wrap it up tight with a pickle spear on the side. The sandwich is huge—heavy, warm, and absolutely loaded with pastrami.
The pastrami itself is excellent. Thick-cut, smoky, super tender,...

Dare I say that this place is better than Katz deli in New York City?
The pastrami sandwich as a Rachel and it was the best meal I had all day. The cheese, sauce, and cabbage really makes that sandwich flavorful!
If you don't mind eating in the busy reading terminal market, it's an amazing place to eat.
The waitress was super friendly!
