Pastrami on rye is delicious
Terri K.

The most amazing sandwiches ever! They have so much yummy meat in them. No frills & order at the counter but quality is the key. We will be back!

Counter
Leanne D.

My brother and sister in law as visiting from out of state for the holidays and felt like a good Depot pastrami sandwich. After searching Yelp we came across Kosher Bite and thought we would give it a try. We ordered the pastrami on rye, the KB special and the tuna salad. The sandwiches were very good and the pastrami ?!?!? We will definitely be back for more. The potato salad and macaroni salad were good as well. I only wish they gave you a little more of the sides. The ambience is like your traditional Jewish deli. I was hoping for more pastries and desserts but today the display was fairly limited.

Pastrami on French roll
Jimmy C.

Was craving a pastrami sandwich so I looked for a place on Yelp and saw that Kosher Bite was nearby. Ordered a pastrami sandwich on a french roll with side of French fries. Costed about $15 total. It came out not too long after ordering and it looked delicious. Was a bit disappointed with the portion size but it is what it is. However, the sandwich did not disappoint - one of the better pastrami sandwiches in the OC. Will definitely come back in the future when I'm in the area and I need to satisfy my craving for a good pastrami sandwich.

A warmed up knish & 2 kashas ...
Christopher B.

NOTE: This review is written by someone who spent 20 years living in Forest Hills, Queens. REVIEW: The knishes at this establishment are just as good, if not better, as those sold in NYC. The original owners, and the current owners. have maintained the Brooklyn essence in their servings.

Tomatoes I took off
Tiffany M.

Food is good, workers are very nice and I like the atmosphere I've come here a couple times for lunch and for work only thing I'd say they slack a little in is organization seems to be very hectic when they get busy so orders gets mixed up, it happens but this is the third time I ask for no tomatoes and I was given tomatoes, I'm also pretty sure they looked at the ticket and since it was already assembled just left it in:( I'm really sad cause I hate tomatoes and it upsets my stomach, I also wish they toasted the bread or at least I don't know if they do but overall the place is a nice spot for deli and the staff is very friendly

Brisket on rye
Sam C.

Not for me. I ordered a brisket sandwich on rye, and the counter guy pulled a heal of brisket out of the refrigerator and made my sandwich. It was not fresh, and dry as hell. The coleslaw and pickle were OK, but I don't think this place does the volume for enough turnover. 3 stars, ONLY because if you are looking for a kosher spot, it might be for you. I'll go to Benjie's in Tustin instead.

Kid-friendly with coloring books and available high chair.
Hareem K.

Ordered the Gene sandwich and lox bagel. They source their lox straight from Brooklyn! This place is THE place for regulars and for those seeking a bite from New York. Service was quick and personable. A true hidden gem

Cornbeef is my favorite so far. Next visit will have to try the hotdog.
louie c.

We got there at 8:30 pm, and they were already cleaning up, so we asked if they were still open before we ordered. They were so kind to let us order our sandwiches even though they were cleaning up the kitchen. We love their Dutch crunch bread so much so we bought two loaves to have at home. They made the sandwiches quick and we took ours and ate it in the car. Hubby got the whole Baja Cheesesteak with Dutch crunch bread and the meat was pretty red and the sauce was a bit spicy. He enjoyed his sandwich and his free cookie. I got the Sammie French Dip with Dutch crunch bread and the meat was too red for me. I like my meat cooked a little more, so I decided to wait to cook it more at home. The dip had a horseradish flavor which was too strong for me, so I will probably not eat it. I loved my free cookie! I really liked the Mr Pickle sandwich last time so I will definitely try another cold sandwich next time. I can't wait to make sandwiches with the Dutch bread we got!

This is my husband and I's first time at this location. We were on our way for a visit at the…read morehospital down the street so we decided to stop by. I would like to say that we both really like this location. The ambiance is nice, there's a lot of seating, indoor and outdoor. Good spot to hang out with friends and family. The food was very delicious, so kudos to the cooks and a big thanks to the guy at the bar, he handled everything very well. That being said, our experience was not the best. Upon entering the establishment, we browsed the menu for a couple minutes and came up to the counter when we were ready to order. We were not greeted or even looked at by the cashier so we weren't sure if she was busy or waiting to take our order. She finally made eye contact so we started ordering. She asked us something but the music was a little loud and there were customers chatting at the bar so it was a hard to hear. We apologized for not hearing and she repeated herself in a very annoyed tone and rolled her eyes. She already seemed annoyed as we entered the establishment so the entire process of ordering was very uncomfortable and her attitude after we missed what said, was very rude. She was giving us dirty looks our entire stay. When we got our food dropped off by the same cashier (I believe her name was Kadence as stated on the receipt) everything looked fine except they forgot to give us our sauce on the side. Not a huge deal, my husband went up to ask for it and the guy at the bar was very nice, even gave us extra sauce. We got to eating and when my husband took a bite of his sandwich, he bit into bacon and we do not eat pork! He was very upset and doesn't like to make a fuss (normally would eat the sandwich even if it was the wrong order) but again, we do not eat pork and not eating pork is a big deal to us so he just wanted the sandwich he ordered. I went to the register to ask if we can have the correct sandwich made and let them know they can take the other sandwich back and once again the guy from the bar came to help, our original cashier did not want to make eye contact, didn't bother coming up to the register or apologized for anything. We felt bad because they threw away the whole sandwich, which I know is the typical process for the food industry but still sad seeing the food go to waste. While we were waiting for the correct sandwich, Kadence was still giving us dirty looks so we decided to go eat outside and from outside we could still see her in the window continuing to give us dirty looks! Laughable at this point. My husband and I are both very friendly and understanding people, we always love to give the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she was having a bad day and it was an honest mistake, but her demeanor just made things very uncomfortable. Overall, we would not come back to this location as there are two other locations closer to where we live and their staff is always very friendly and helpful.
