    Deli counter. Sort of.
    Mike B.

    What exactly is this place? From the outside, it looks sort of like a nightclub and the inside is a mix of take-out seating and lounge vibe. It claims to be a deli, but it serves a menu more like a diner than a deli, and the deli sandwich I ordered was completely bizarre? It's confusing. I was looking for a deli because I wanted a classic deli sandwich I could eat in the car on a long drive out of Oakland. I ordered a reuben, sub turkey, no other changes. The classic preparation would be rye toast, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, and, in this case, turkey. What I got was the strangest deli sandwich I've ever eaten. It seemed to be turkey on greasy grilled white bread with mozzarella cheese and a sauce like liquidy mustard with chopped up cucumbers in it. It was nothing like what I ordered. But here's the thing: I did like it. Strange flavors, but I demolished it. And the people were nice enough. So I'll stand by a 4-star rating. If you don't really care about getting exactly what you ordered, you'll probably like it.

    The burger is nicely seasoned. I didn't have fries. The service was great. The restaurant is clean and has good seating. I really enjoy this place and will be coming again. The prices are great!

    Been in and out of this place a couple of years whether it's a snack, drink, or meal it has never disappointed. Staff always greets the variety of items will satisfy most....most picky eaters. Salads are an option too.

    Roast Beef Sandwich

    After missing the ferry, my friends and I stumbled upon Dolma Deejis, and I'm so glad we did because their sandwiches are the best! We arrived on a Tuesday around 11am and were promptly greeted at the counter. I ordered a roast beef sandwich, and it was truly exceptional. Crafting a sandwich is easy, but it takes serious skill to ensure all the ingredients are perfectly balanced in every bite - and this one never fell apart! My friend ordered the Malibu burger and said it was delicious. The seating was also very comfortable, making it the perfect lunch spot. I can't wait to return!

    Ordered catering for my work meeting from here and was so happy with the freshness of the cold cut sandos and how the catering order was prepped for easy pick up. Folks loved the turkey avocado sandwich and I enjoyed a veggie sandwich. They also have a great veggie burger! It's a cute, clean spot with lots of snack options for purchase as well.

    stop by for lunch for the first time I was really impressed with the ambience. Very nice inside. I ordered the salmon burger with sweet potato french fries. The food and the service for both grades will definitely be back soon.

    Pastrami Sandwich

    I got a quick bite for lunch and it was a tasty turkey melt. I didn't get the fries so i can really comment on anything else food wise. The atmosphere was a mix of pop up deli and classic American diner. I'd go back again for a quick bite.

    Yelp actually led me to this sandwich shop. I searched for sandwiches in my area, and this was one…read moreof the few places that popped up. I'm forever grateful for that recommendation because they make some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I've tried a few items on the menu, but the one I always recommend is the Hot Italian. Everything about this sandwich is incredible. It's packed with flavor, and you can honestly tell it was made with care. I usually pair it with a bag of chips, and the total comes to around $18. It's absolutely worth every penny and always leaves me full and satisfied. The shop is consistently clean, and the customer service is always friendly and welcoming. I find myself going back over and over again, then telling myself I need to take a break--only to end up back there a few weeks later. That's how good it is. A couple of things to keep in mind before you visit: there's only limited street parking, so you may have to circle the block to find a spot. There's also not much room to wait inside, although they do have a bench or two where you can sit while your sandwich is being prepared. In my experience, the wait is usually around 15 minutes. I've honestly never been here when it wasn't busy, so expect a crowd. But once you take that first bite, you'll understand why. Great food, great atmosphere, and great customer service. I highly recommend checking this place out!

I had to come here twice back to back on different days to try another option on the menu. What I loved about it is the portions are huge and you could definitely feed 2 people, although prices are quite steep for the sandwiches. Sichuan Hot Chicken 5/5 This is as equally as good with Hot Boyz. So flavorful, nicely seasoned, juicy, crispy and tender. The sesame bun is an awesome take and elevated the hot chicken sandwich even more. It's not as heavily spiced as hot boyz so my stomach acid wasn't acting up right after which is a big plus. It's very well balanced. I would say maybe a touch more on sauce but other than that I loved it. Sisig Bolillo 5/5 Wow another great option! This was so good. Literally a filipino breakfast in one bite. Very flavorful, well seasoned, tender, rich, and with a touch of lime it helped cut through the fat and heaviness. I would've wished for more lime since 1 tiny slice wasn't enough or vinegar like sauce on the side. But i thoroughly enjoyed this sandwich. Bread was warm and crunchy but super soft and fluffy on the inside. Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap 2.5/5 My least favorite and I think they took it off the menu. What I didn't like about it was that the chicken wasn't seasoned enough or it lacked flavor. The dressing wasn't enough either because I didn't taste it at all. I did take a bite of this right away after a few bites of the chicken sandwich because I was worried about losing the texture of the croutons but it was already soft and mushy. Service & Ambience It's minimal. I ordered and waited for pick up. Staff is friendly. It's a sandwich shop so it's a to go spot with minimal dining spaces. Anyways I'm definitely coming back for one of the top two!

We stopped by on a Friday during lunch and had to wait in line and for our order. It may be helpful to order in advance to minimize your wait time. Service was friendly and efficient, despite how busy it was. I will say the prices are a bit steep, as most sandwiches are around $18-20 and the sides are around $7-8+. However, the menu is quite varied with a good amount of classic sandwiches, signature items, and sides. We wanted to try the Sichuan Chicken bites, but they were sold out unfortunately. I ended up ordering the House Turkey Breast without red onions, and was impressed with the quality and flavor of the sandwich. I liked the inclusion of both the alfalfa and avocado. We also ordered a side of the house ramen spiced fries, which were tasty and crispy but didn't quite leave an impression. I'm curious to return and try other items including the house banh mi and konbini egg salad. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're nearby and in the mood for a delicious sandwich.

They have a modest but solid selection of Italian deli meats (Serrano ham, prosciutto, pancetta, etc), pasta, olive oil, vinegars, and a couple specialty jams (calabrian chile orange, etc) - basically all you'd need for a gourmet charcuterie board meal or snack. Last time I was here, picked ip a bottle of nicely aged balsamic vinegar from Italy, which has lasted me for a couple years. Today, decided to try one of their specialty Italian sandwiches with a shot of expresso on the side... and Mama Mia was the sandwich absolutely amazing! I highly recommend the Jamon Serrano & Manchego sandwich ($14.50). It comes with shaved ribbons of serrano ham, 1/5 inch thick slice of aged manchego cheese, a creamy spread of chevre goat cheese, chopped/marinated artichokes and arugula greens on a crusty/crunchy baguette (between half to a full foot long). I practically finished this within 10 minutes - it was so good! The expresso shot ($3.25) was also a good pairing for me. Loved the aroma, made from nicely dark roasted beans. Inside the venue there's shelves on the back wall, with Italian dry goods, oils, vinegars, jams, etc for sale. Seating indoors is about 5ish tables for 2 or more. Outside sidewalk has a couple tables too. Located on the corner of 9th & Washington St, mostly metered street parking in this area and a small hourly parking lot across the street.

Definitely try their bahn mi if you go. It has a unique profile to it. There is limited indoor seating if you're looking to chill for a bit before heading out to the rest of your day... perhaps in Jack London Square, where it's situated.

    My only question is....WHY haven't I been here sooner?! I…read morewas craving pastrami, so I looked on yelp for pastrami in the area. My mom and I came in around 2pm on Monday (8/11). It's a cute delicatessen/restaurant. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Immediately the staff was so friendly and welcoming. The woman at the register was very nice and asked if we had any questions. My mom and I shared a pastrami sandwich, Brussels sprouts, fries, and slaw. It was reasonably priced for the Bay Area. When they brought the food to the table I was shocked. Everything looked amazing and very appetizing, and the portions were much bigger than expected. Before she brought the sandwich over, she asked if we were sharing it and was so nice to split it into 2 plates for us. That was very kind for her to do. Let's start with the French fries. Omg they were perfectly crisp but still fluffy on the inside. They had so much flavor probably because of the beef tallow and had just the right amount of salt on them. There was a side of mayonnaise with the fries, and it tasted homemade. I meant to ask them if it was. It was very good lol I couldn't get enough. The poppyseed slaw was very refreshing and it was tangy and sweet. We loved that the cabbage remained crispy and it was great for a warm day. The fried Brussels sprouts were full of flavor. They were a nice balance of sweet and salty. I loved the bacon on them. The hot pastrami sandwich definitely satisfied my pastrami craving! There was just the right ratio of meat-cheese-sauerkraut-mustard-dressing. The bread tasted freshly baked as well. It was full of flavor. And the side salad that came with the sandwich was excellent. We loved the tanginess of the dressing. We were shocked that there wasn't more people inside, but also for 2pm on a Monday, it probably was just an off hour. We had so many leftovers as we both don't eat very much, but lol as soon as I got home I started eating some more of the slaw and salad. Can't wait to eat the rest for lunch tomorrow. We are already planning on coming back to try the meatballs next time and definitely trying their Indian cuisine! I'll have to bring my husband here next. Thank you guys for an amazing lunch!

It's a warm, crunchy roll, the chopped steak and cheese are perfect, and there's a salad next to it so you can take a bite of that while you're waiting for the next bit of your sandwich to cool down. Do yourself a favor and order this in instead of carrying it out. The roll is warm and crunchy and I think too much time in a bag would make everything less delicious. (I'm sure it's still good, it's just *better* if you can eat it when it's fresh.) I swear one of these days I'll try something else on the menu.
