Their bagels are fabulous as is their lox. For those, like me, who can unhinge their jaw for an authentic pastrami or corned beef masterpiece. Go with the "Ding sized" sandwich. They'll make a smaller Seattle sized version as well for those who don't treat deli as an indulgence of rye and meat piled high. I wish they'd add kreplach to the menu (sorry Vance. I know my litany is old!) but I keep discovering new deliciousness here even after being a regular for nearly 4 years since my recovery from a life threatening illness, that I recovered from in part due to making regular stops here during my post surgical recovery. Just today I had the blintzes for the first time with their in house made cherry compote and sour cream. Amazing. Keep up the amazing work!!! My recommendation for newbies. Get the pastrami on marbled rye with gribenes and mustard. If you're feeling extra indulgent ask for a schmear of chopped liver, if you're keen on said. You won't regret it!

I feel the two dishes I had were a sacrilege, not an homage, to Jewish diner food…read more The matzo ball soup: watery broth and the ingredients tasted like they came out of a can. And pretty much no chicken in it. The "famous hash and eggs" equally underwhelmed. The "hash" mixture seemed to be from yesterday or older, mostly potato, with little corned beef. There was nothing "famous" about it. I tried the fresher corned beef sandwich my friend got and felt the fresh corned beef was quite good - hence the upgrade from 2 to 3 stars here. It's counter service, they bring the food (no numbers for tables makes this a bit of a trial and error) . Coffee is self serve and there is a sign saying refills are $2.75.... how un-American.

Afterwards, he introduced me to condiment bar and underscored the suggested pairings. Great personality! My order was prepared quickly, and by 12:30 the place was packed. There is quite a bit of seating and baseball was playing on a couple of screens. The fries are interesting, reminiscent of fluffy mashed potatoes inside, with a crispy exterior. I didn't notice an Old Bay seasoning, but I don't know if that is standard or should be ordered specifically. The beef cheese steak (Tats way) is made with rib eye of a good quality. No fat, no gristle, and plenty of it. A generous portion of sautéed onions and peppers and a mixture of provolone and white American cheeses top the meat. Hot and melty. The bread does r get a bit soggy, and the filling spills out so make sure to grab a stack of napkins and a fork. I ordered an 8 inch sandwich and small order of fries, and it was a lot of food. I finished it, but started I get sleepy in the afternoon. Good solid sandwich.

My selection this time are the soft rice wrappers with ground meats and woodear inside and the chewy rice wrappers with dry shrimps inside. They never fail me, and I always want to try more varieties. I also bought a vermicelli to-go pack and an order of chicken wings with seven pieces. On a budget but with a taste for adventure? Their prices are very reasonable and full of varieties.

I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while passing by. It offers a typical teriyaki menu,…read morealong with Korean dishes, some Japanese options (like sushi and tempura), and even jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles). The area is an industrial zone, so workers from nearby factories frequently drop in. Perhaps because of this, the restaurant opens early at 10 AM and closes early (3PM) as well. It seemed like the owners, a husband and wife, were the only ones working (I couldn't see the kitchen). The owner's wife took orders and served in the dining area. I arrived around 10:40 AM, a bit early for lunch, but there were already two tables with customers, and more people started coming in shortly after. I ordered four dishes, including Korean and teriyaki options. Typically, teriyaki places don't serve Korean side dishes (banchan), but since I ordered Korean food, they brought out banchan. The owner's wife apologized for the limited variety of side dishes and generously brought out extra. As I tasted the side dishes, they had a comforting, homemade quality, like a warm meal prepared at home. The flavors were neither too salty nor too bland, with a clean taste that didn't rely on artificial seasonings. The dishes--spicy pork bulgogi, seafood soft tofu stew, stone pot bibimbap, and Mongolian beef--reminded me of my mom's cooking, which I loved. While the food didn't have the commercialized taste of popular chain restaurants, it felt like it was made with care and attention, just like a meal prepared at home. This restaurant pleasantly exceeded my expectations. - Service: Following the typical teriyaki joint setup, you place and pay for your order at the counter before taking a seat. The staff then brings your meal to your table. A nice touch is the complimentary bottled water that accompanies your meal. - Price: Considering the generous portions and delightful taste, the pricing is quite reasonable. While I haven't compared it to other eateries in the vicinity, the value for money here stands out. - Food: The dishes shine with a home-cooked quality, free from overpowering artificial flavors. Each bite feels wholesome, capturing the essence of genuine, heartfelt cooking. - Ambiance: The setting is straightforward and functional, characteristic of fast-food-style teriyaki spots. It's not fancy, but it serves its purpose well. - Parking: There's ample parking available, though spaces can fill up quickly. Nevertheless, finding a spot wasn't an issue, and it's free of charge. In summary, this restaurant offers a delightful blend of authentic flavors and efficient service, making it a noteworthy spot for anyone craving quality teriyaki and more.

Pretty wide range of food options from full out sushi sets to snacky items. We loved the Hawaiian roll. The popcorn chicken was sizeable, but not as crispy as pictured. Service is great and fast, despite being made to order. Ambiance is casual. No seating inside, just a few outdoor tables. Set up is more suitable for a takeout environment. Parking can be a little challenging if you're coming during school pickup hours. There isn't dedicated parking, but there is free street parking available. 100% will return to fill my sushi cravings when I don't want to go too far from home.

The sushi rolls are great. They're better than most conveyor belt sushi restaurants or pre-made, grocery store sushi. I also tried a fruit-flavored slushy. It was good. Ambiance - It's a very small corner store/snack shop. Clean and quaint. Patio seating available if the weather is nice. Prices - Inexpensive. I suspect this place caters to the students that attend the school across the street. Prices likely need to accommodate a student's budget. Service - Cordial, casual, and quick. Nice people behind the counter. There's also a self-serve ordering kiosk if you want to go full introvert. No fuss no muss. -----Section 2 (for the nostalgia chasers) ----- If you attended school in an East Asian country as a youth - this shop is your childhood. It's a typical snack shop (小食店), the same as those often located near school yards across Asia. Tiny hole-in-the wall shops, run by a local family, offering goodies to kids at prices even 7-Eleven and fast food restaurants couldn't touch. Sugary drinks, sushi, fried chicken nuggets. And depending on which region you're from: curry fishballs, steamed buns, fried tofu, spicy noodles, etc. I arrived at 756 Sushi just as the school across the street was being dismissed. The stream of students lining up at 756 brought back memories of watching students in Asia line up at the local 小食店 before heading home (or to evening study sessions). An unexpected and happy dose of nostalgia from a past life. This shop is a gift to the Beacon Hill community.
