Martin R.Martin Rigby: They had a special: green beans and brussel sprouts which were brilliant. They also do a pastrami spring roll using Katz's pastrami; also brilliant. You just have to get over the gimmick and try it.

KellyKelly: Outstanding dim sum - dumplings galore and all delish (Pac Man!), pastrami egg roll is out of this world, try everything possible. Great friendly service too, from bearded waiters.

Scott S.Scott S: Great addition to UWS from WestVil. Musts are pastrami egg rolls, salmon and eggplant bruschetta, pork belly and rice cakes. Hat-tip for the farm to table sourcing.

Ben K.Ben K.: Classic! Try the sturgeon, pastrami lox, or whitefish salad on a bagel. Scrambled eggs with sturgeon and onion are excellent too.

EaterEater: The menu includes a long list of omelettes and egg sandwiches, but you're definitely going to want to try something with smoked fish. A great first order is the eggs with a side of pastrami salmon. Read more.
