  4 0 If you're from New York, face it: you're going to be disappointed. Our main cultural antecedents are unfortunately Norwegian, not Jewish. God love 'em, but lutefisk is not an acceptable substitute for lox. The closest you're going to get is I Love New York Deli on Roosevelt at N 52nd St. You can get your Reuben there, but like I said, you'll be disappointed. The pain will subside with time. There's another one in the Pike Place Market area, on Pike Street just below First. Same thing. Another option is Husky Deli in West Seattle, south of SW Alaska St on California Ave. Fnarf answered in Eating Out about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Rev.Enant… 0 0 thumbs up for IloveNYDeli - really is the closest (artificial) drug we have to the real thing to get that fix. I prefer the Pike Place one.

  2 0 Goldberg's in Factoria mall in Bellevue. It's based off a Detorit Jewish Deli and not a New York Jewish Deli, but it gets the approval of my Brooklyn born and raised wife. dschonbe answered in Eating Out about 1 year ago | Report 2 comments by Adam Lawrence and Rev.Enant… 0 0 I work in Factoria and gave this place several tries, but the thin, watery matzoh soup alone mean I'm never going back.

  2 0 This coast doesn't have the same thing. You will survive, although a littler sadder than before. I did just have a good Reuben from a new deli in Columbia City (far south Seattle)--Chelsea Deli. The bread holds up, there's a fat pile of decent pastrami, a big mess of cheese, sauce and kraut...but the meat's not as spiced as it could be, and the bread not as intensely rye-ish as it could be. I Love NY is also pretty good; it gets a lot of things right and has stronger overall flavor contrasts than Chelsea. Delicatus has decent flavor, but the Reuben I had there was like a school lunch sandwich--very tidy, no mess, and I could eat the whole thing which is just wrong. If you try it, ask for a lot of extra sauce; that will help somewhat. The Other Coast is good (Ballard and Cap Hill) but their Reuben is a weird mashup of a classic hot pastrami and a Reuben--both TI and mustard. You can ask to make it more traditional.

  1 0 Been there. Everyone's opinion is different on this, and I suspect, because in each boro the delis are different. Also, NO WHERE in seattle will the sandwiches be as cheap as in NY. Various former-NYer refuges include: I Love NY Deli - touristy manhattanstyle deli sandwiches, but great breads. Buffalo Deli (belltown) Roxy Diner I've also had some success with the QuickStop in eastlake - looks like a convenience store, but they have decent made-to-order and HUGE deli sandwiches (what I call Queens-style deli sandwiches). They recently stopped stocking hoagy rolls, but if enough of us request it, perhaps she'll bring 'em back ;) George's Deli on madison/first hill is an interesting place to try too. Kinda Greenpoint-ish. I haven't tried Delicatus or Tats yet - but Pioneer Square has also been a haven for LowerEastSide & Brooklyn types.. real A: NYC. Rev.Enant answered in Eating Out about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Rev.Enant… 0 0 one note: there's a place called 'Mike's east coast sandwiches' that sells out of cafes and such.

  1 0 Tat's is not a deli. It's a sub shop, very close to same from south Jersey (hoagie shop in Philadelphia). Market House makes great corned beef, less than adequate pastrami and they use really lousy packaged rye bread. Best thing at Market House is buy the beef raw and cook it according to their directions. R.I.P. Seattle delis: Brenner Brother's (23rd and Cherry Streets then Bellevue, now just a bakery; fair rye, very good challah); Yiddish Connection in Occidental Square (not bad); Cohen's at 3rd and Cherry (terrible; microwaved Reuben!);A.J. on Madison just west of Broadway (best Reuben ever in Seattle).

  1 0 Being a transplant myself (been here 15 years), you're going to have to journey to Kenny and Zuke's in Portland, Oregon, to get even slightly close to a Katz's experience. But Portland also has better bagels (try Kettleman) so make a weekend out of it and get your fix!

  1 0 I Love New York Deli is the closest I've had here to the real thing. But my favorite Reuben is at Trinity Market in the U-District. It is delicious and non-greasy. Tats and Delicatus are both outstanding, but they won't have that NYC-style feel.

  0 0 A new NYC deli just opened up on 9th between Stewart and Virginia. There are egg and cheese sandwiches on the menu, which is a bare minimum but something. biff answered in Eating Out about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 I'm always on a search for a good Reuben, and usually go for Other Coast, but last week I finally tried I Love New York Deli in Pike Place Market. Ohmygodit'ssogood. To quote my boyfriend, "I'm silent on the outside because my mouth is stuffed, but I am screaming with joy on the inside!" All of their meats, pickles and chips are brought in from Brooklyn. So. Damn. Good.

  0 0 So this is a bit unconventional for the Reuben but I would say it is HANDS DOWN one of the best sandwiches this city has to offer. The Tat'strami from Tat's Delicatessen on Yesler and 2nd Ave downtown. This sandwich is pastrami prepared like a philly chesee steak, with swiss cheese and a russian style sauce and then topped with coleslaw. Again, unconventional for a Reuben, but SUCH A FUCKING GREAT SANDWICH! Oh, and they also have your classic Reuben with kraut on rye, but once you try the Tat'strami, its hard to stray. drock answered in Eating Out about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.
