Good use of the word Mench! I love Katz's, but I'm a rare roast beef guy. Unfortunately, that's another item that you can not get in the Midwest (well, you can get it, but it tastes completely different).
I only found your channel recently. I like that you say what you mean and don't sugarcoat anything, even with this place you trashed the bread even though you love the restaurant.
I think this is the happiest I’ve ever seen you in a video!!! I absolutely love Katz Deli it’s so freaking good. It’s definitely the best deli in the world.
loved hearing about your story when you had that bad day and went to Katz'. That's what good food does to the body, mind and soul!! Congrats on the 70k, onwards and upwards!
UA - loved your personal share at the end. Great perspective. That type of reflection is a gift for those that pause to process it, in their own personal journeys. Really refreshing commentary. Thanks for the constant positive vibes. It is why I watch every vid.
Wonderfull place, my best memory of Katz is buying pastrami on rye with my dad around thanksgiving and eating them in the sun in Central Park. Happy memories of a great visit. Thanks for anorher great video.
The best of the best. Love your reviews UA. I also grew up in the NYC area and everyone here seems to have a real love for great ethnic food. It's incredible how no matter what your background if you are from the tri-state area you are one with the brother and sisterhood of appreciation for great ethnic food.
I genuinely loved hearing how this food lifted you up "emotionally". (I used to get sushi with someone who used to be a good friend and for a while, the sushi was really something that was very comforting for me). I also appreciate your visiting another Jewish deli (again) and kudos on the use of the word "mensch" in the video :).
This is an absolutely wonderful review in every possible way. Personally contextualized as part of a larger, ongoing journey, UA's passionate devotion to the taste experience touches the viewer, who ultimately understands the genuine search for gastronomic plenitude. In its very own way, Katz's fulfills a quest that few can translate or transmit with such artful precision and sensitively lavish praise. A polyphonic treat for the senses. Kudos!
It's great! It's expensive, and most of the time a long line. But if you can get in without waiting like I did, it's great and the portion size is huge so the price is not as bad as people think
There use to be a Katz's deli in a strip mall off Red Road in Pembroke Pines area. It was pretty good, but I'm sure not as good as the original in NYC!!
As kids, we would go there regularly because we lived in Brooklyn at the time in the 1970s. I didn't think it was a big deal going to Katz at the time, it wasn't that busy either in the 70s and early 80s, but now I'd love to go, I haven't been there in over 30 years. I remember back in the 70s. They had fly paper hanging from the ceilings and a sign that said "send this salami to your boy in the army".
Sometimes the line for katz stretches all the way to Russ and daughters by the way, which is arguably the best bagels in all of iNew York.😂 you should try that spot next UA ?
I love Katz's deli. The one thing I would reccomend is order your sandwich on a club roll. The club roll may be more bread than you may want for your sandwich, BUT it holds the meat better than the rye which falls apart in your hands and it is much easier to eat the meat off the sandwich to trim it down enough to make it a perfect hand held bite. I am not saying the rye is a bad bite, but the club roll makes it easier to hold while eating and I do not think takes away from the flavor of the sandwich.
First time I had pastrami was at Katz. I don’t eat pastrami, and still don’t unless it’s from Katz lol! “Manna from heaven” love it! Thanks for reviewing some of the other food items. Good to know.
The food looks incredible! I want to try a chocolate egg cream and a vanilla egg cream, someday. The hot dog seems amazing. Congrats on hitting the 70K mark!
Excellent review, UA. It's kinda pricey, but if someone enjoys the food, then to each his own. If I ever make it to NY, I'll pay the $30 just to try it. Keep up the great work! I am looking forward to your next review.
Have been working in the food industry for 40 years and not a stickler for food safety, but seeing that guy rest the chocolate bottle inside your glass is something else.
As a native New Yorker, we love Katz, and it's always been a crowded place to eat, but even more crowded because of social media. The prices are sky high and tourists more than the natives will spend that much on a sandwich. It's def enough food to share, so you are getting your money's worth! I honestly like the hot dogs more than anything. The pastrami is very good, but it's so much of it, you get full fast. I do think it's a place that people should visit, just know you will spend some cash!
Grew up in Alphabet City in Manhattan and could walk to Katz but I never been inside. I avoid expensive tourist traps. Veneiros on first Avenue got touristy and expensive back in the 80's.
Why do I torture myself looking at all this incredible food you eat?! As a non-New Yorker those prices are hard to swallow 😉 but when in Rome.... Great work by the way.
Agree with you totally, this is the best deli par none. It is worth the wait and the price. The pastrami melts in your mouth; and, one sandwich can feed two people. Best of all, you can sample the meats before you make your order.
The air vent with the water stains behind you looks disgusting. For a place as famous at Katz's, you would think they would clean up the ceiling. The sandwiches however, and the hot dog, look divine. The matzah ball is huge! The prices are outrageous.
I went here a little over 10 years ago, it was my first time in NYC. I remember all the photos of famous people on the wall. I went with group of people at night time and I remember having a table with a server, we def. Didn't have to wait in line. Honestly i remember the pastrami being okay, nothing special. some of the local delis in brooklyn are a lot more memorable to me
The rye bread broke off because it was so fresh that it didn't have the body/firmness of bread that's been hanging around for several hours..mixed with the heat from the pastrami, it caved on lifting, but i'd always opt for the freshest bread or a slightly heated version but it's still a sensational sandwich..extra sour on the pickles always and a fair amount of mustard too..as for the Dog, sauerkraut with mustard & relish known as the sweet works is a must do..great review UA as always...
@@m.theresa1385 I usually go there at the dinner time, and I remember in early 2022, their bread was still not that crumbly, but then I went there again in the winter and I can feel the bread is completely different.
@@Ian5325 Their site says they make the bread. I’ve not been there in a bit, but I’d not be surprised if they’ve changed. (I’m not in the area as frequently any more)
I'm British, but have relatives in NYC. They always tell me Katz's is overrated. Next time I fly the pond I will ignore them and go there for a soup and pastrami on rye. Thank you!!
“…I don’t wanna confuse my pallet with too many flavors…” Don’t ever order a hotdog in Chicago with that mindset. A Chicago dog comes with onions, relish, mustard, tomato, pickles, sport peppers, and a sprinkle of celery salt. Talk about a confused pallet. 😂 Some people order it by saying gimme a dog and drag it through the garden. Also if you try to get ketchup on your dog and are over the age of 12, you’re liable to have the police called on you. Lol! That corned beef and pastrami looked fabulous! I’ve been to NY once but didn’t know this place existed. If I ever go again I’ll definitely have to stop by Katz’s.
If you are in Brooklyn, there is one called David’s Brisket House and literally I can not tell the difference between those two and I loved KATZ (but the lines are too long from when I went), so highly recommend David’s and it’s halal too for those who eat strictly halal meat. Edit: I realize he already did make a video on it 😊
@@BlowinFree it's not barbaric and cruel. Kosher is the same? So Kosher is barbaric and cruel too? What about the non kosher, non halal meats that the animals are being cramped up in cages and stunned? That's not barbaric and cruel enough for you? Halal meat is just meat that is slaughtered by saying "In the name of God" and the animal has to be slaughtered in a manner that is quick to prevent any suffering. The meat tastes the same as any other meat, nothing is added on to it or manipulated in any way.
Really enjoy your videos and I had hoped to visit Katz someday when returing to New York for a visit but looking at that filthy air vent above your head in the video is giving me second thoughts about eating there, as well as the $30 price tag. I'll probably visit Harolds in New Jersey instead. Just saying! Great video though. Go Yankees, Go Giants!
I am 68. My parents would take me for glasses on Rivington st. Then Katz’s. My grandfather would take my mother there . An institution. Old Jewish Old Lower East Side.
UA does a wonderful job of demonstrating what happens when you try to pick up a Katz's sandwich with one hand while trying to shoot video on his phone with the other... Moral of the story: Use two hands to pick it up. Add mustard before each bite so the bread doesn't get needlessly soggy. And, the price is actually quite fair considering the combo of quality and quantity in their sandwiches. Yeah, you could get a pastrami sandwich somewhere else, save $8-10 and get half the meat that's not nearly as good.
Try Carnegies deli... .. Get the 4 lb Pastrami/corned beef split w/ extra rye and spicy mustard. $99 BACK THEN... WE WENT TO ORIOLES/YANKEES GAME IN 2019, THAT SANDWICH FED BOTH OF US.. PICKLES ARE THE BEST TOO..
I always have told friends to go early or later at night. Dont have to worry bout long lines( before YT and Smartphones) coming early or late at night, always could just walk in, not because its not great but because L.E.S wasnt exactly a great area to walk I dont care about the price. Every chance I get I head to Katz. Went there 1st time when it used to be $15 and now its doubled but still go
I feel like that bread is a disservice to the meat itself. Youd think they'd take some pride in the bread but I guess when people are still paying $30 for a sandwich that falls apart when lifting it, why change?
@zackevanz3804 the bread is very good, it's just not quite substantial enough for that size of sandwich. It would be perfect for a sandwich half that size. The smart move would be to ask for 2 extra full slices and make 2 sandwiches on your own. I'd bet they'd do it for you if you asked (and probably paid a small fee). Btw, the sandwich didn't fall apart on me when I ate l there, but I also had the use of both of my hands. I had a reuben btw, which has additional toppings that are more likely to make bread soggy.
I usually ask for it on a club roll. It’s a longer more substantial role the bread you need it when you have so much freaking meat in the sandwich, especially when you get a Reuben.

Thank you for talking about how food lifted your spirits at a bad time in your life. Food can definitely be curative! ♥️♥️♥️

❤plain pastrami onion roll & rye bread katz super great brand of pastrami
"Enjoy my brother.."
simple yet memorable. the little detail that makes you remember them
The best of the best. Love your reviews UA. I also grew up in the NYC area and everyone here seems to have a real love for great ethnic food. It's incredible how no matter what your background if you are from the tri-state area you are one with the brother and sisterhood of appreciation for great ethnic food.
I genuinely loved hearing how this food lifted you up "emotionally". (I used to get sushi with someone who used to be a good friend and for a while, the sushi was really something that was very comforting for me). I also appreciate your visiting another Jewish deli (again) and kudos on the use of the word "mensch" in the video :).

Wow thanks for the kind words and the very well-written analysis!
Nice re-visit review UA! Katz is always so good, always one of those places you got to go back each time in NY even as a local!
It's great! It's expensive, and most of the time a long line. But if you can get in without waiting like I did, it's great and the portion size is huge so the price is not as bad as people think

I have been to NYC twice. I have been to Katz's twice. Corned Beef and Pastrami are the bomb.
Katz’s is the best!! Thanks for another great video!
Thanks for watching!
Another great video thx UA,keep it coming 😊
The pro move at Katz’s is to avoid the lousy rye bread (I love rye but theirs is bad) and get your sandwich on club bread! Try it next time!
That exactly what I was thinking
Sometimes the line for katz stretches all the way to Russ and daughters by the way, which is arguably the best bagels in all of iNew York.😂 you should try that spot next UA ?
Yes I should! It's on my list and I haven't gotten to it yet
I love Katz's deli. The one thing I would reccomend is order your sandwich on a club roll. The club roll may be more bread than you may want for your sandwich, BUT it holds the meat better than the rye which falls apart in your hands and it is much easier to eat the meat off the sandwich to trim it down enough to make it a perfect hand held bite. I am not saying the rye is a bad bite, but the club roll makes it easier to hold while eating and I do not think takes away from the flavor of the sandwich.
I'm glad you tried the Matzo Ball soup. I've always wondered how good it is.
As usual, UA, another great video. I still say you need to review knishes. That egg cream while looked tasty, needed some Fox's U-Bet syrup 😂😂
First time I had pastrami was at Katz. I don’t eat pastrami, and still don’t unless it’s from Katz lol! “Manna from heaven” love it! Thanks for reviewing some of the other food items. Good to know.
I have been all famous deli around the NYC, and Katz is definitely best of the best.
Yeah I've eaten so many delis, particularly in NYC, and Katz's is for sure still #1. Langer's in LA is the only one that might edge them
The food looks incredible! I want to try a chocolate egg cream and a vanilla egg cream, someday. The hot dog seems amazing. Congrats on hitting the 70K mark!
Hey, UA. They sell flexible, neck worn mounts for your phone that should allow you to film while utilizing both hands to eat.
Just have a camera drone hover by the table!

Nice review. It’s been a little while since I was there. I’m due back for a tongue sandwich - delicious! (Plus those half sour pickles :))
Beef tongue sandwiches are good. I never had it from Katz. The first time I tried it was from a similar Jewish spot called Lido's deli in Long Island.
Chocolate Egg Cream looks extremely refreshing damn I want one of those.
UA, I've got to say, Pastrami Bistro is pretty damn good too! Thanks for hooking us up with that place!

And get there early to avoid the crowds. I think the place is open some days at 8:00 am.
Their mustard that’s made in house, and knishes ( regular and sweet potato) are THE bomb.
yes the knishes in the store have crust too much must bake it yes their balls are by machine to heat inside
Wowowo sounds so good
Dude add another taste sensation: put COLE SLAW on the sandwich with the mustard on both sides of sandwich. HEAVEN!!
Love and Light from Laos Brother!
$45 AUD for a Reuben is insane. I know you get enough for two in one sandwich, however, its still exhorbitant.
It’s actually pathetic that people are paying for this. Complete greed
agreed. its over $50 CAD after tax and tip. its criminal and the reason why its 100% overrated and a tourist trap. i have to disagree with UA here
not insane since they are busy
@@crabapples1995 you sound ignorant, and ridiculous. It’s the greatest deli on the planet in New York City.
100% worth it, every NYer knows
I went to Katz just as part of a food tour never heard of it and omg I've been dreaming about going back to nyc and getting it again for months
They use U-Bet chocolate syrup, it’s much thicker than regular chocolate syrup for chocolate egg cream
Best line ever. Over shoot that salt solution 😂😂. Been there buddy 🤣

thank you UA, I must try this sandwich even though I dont really like or eat meat.
I was gonna suggest going early to beat the crowd! Also the pastrami and eggs dish is 🔥 as is the ruben with pastrami
Would love to see you work your way through Kat’s menu😊
Very good and correct, there is no finer deli. Waiting in line and talking to other people is even fun, it’s the best.
I'm from Malaysia and I ordered the same combo on my last visit to NYC😜
They need that Arby's marble rye bread. 😂😂

Try Harry's Hot Dogs in Salisburyville pa. Would love to see your opinion.
Do you tip twice here? Once for the meat cutter and then the server?
Those prices are absolutely insane. Must be a tourist trap. $20 for a bagel and cream cheese? $17 for a kid's cheeseburger? Ridiculous.
