This is a meh deli. I ordered the soup and half a sandwich. Got a matzo ball soup and a pastrami on rye. Pro: the pastrami was sliced thinly and it had a good taste and mouthfeel. The matzo ball soup was standard, nothing to write home about. The slaw was alright. Generous with the mustard. Cons: They used white bread, not rye and the bread wasn't toasted, so it stuck to the top of my mouth with each bite. Also, the sandwich was super small, even for half a sandwich. Like the size of a small Arby's sandwich. The pickle had no crunch and was super rubbery and limp. If you do decide to try this place, take your food to go. The seating area is a constant flurry of delivery drivers picking up their orders. It's not a place where you would want to hang out. I appreciated the Seinfeld references on the menu because I loved the show, but I don't think I will be returning to this deli when there are others to choose from in the city. It's also expensive... for $25, I expected more. read more

Mendy's 2.0 - Very small half sandwich pastrami on rye (they gave me white bread), matzo ball soup. Rubbery pickle. - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

Exceptionally average kosher deli. Have I had worse? Sure. This place is solely here for takeout. You wouldn't want to dine in. It's small and completely full of food delivery folks just waiting for their next order. The food comes up quickly and the staff is friendly. You won't be upset, but you won't be blown away. Soup and half a sandwich, now that's a meal. read more

I had Mendy's delivered to us through the website Goldbelly (all the way in another state) and it was the best experience. The corned beef was by far the best that any of us have ever had. We were all blown away! It all stayed fresh and delicious for delivery too! read more

Sorry to say Mendy's DID NOT do it for me! The few blocks I saved by not walking to 2nd Ave Deli will haunt me for some time! I was excited to see the deli in the neighborhood! But that excitement too a quick downward spiral! I ordered a brisket on rye and received it on white bread instead! Not that it would have made a difference because the meat was dry! The pickle and coleslaw did not help. The square knish I ordered was spongy and it had already been cut and had dry mustard in it! It was also Microwaved which made it even worse! Lesson learned!! Did I mention I ordered a Dr. Brown's and a seltzer and it only cost me $33.70 #neveragain Be Warned!! read more

Mendy's 2.0 - Overpriced food - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

The delivery individual will scream at you in your business lobby and you will have to get security involved to escort him off premises. All because you did not come down fast enough after he called you 6 times and you mentioned you were on your way down (in the span of 5 minutes mind you). confirmed that these individuals are not a third-party, they are indeed from Mendy's themselves. read more

I tried Mendy's through Too Good To Go and really enjoyed my lunch. I received half a chicken salad sandwich, mushroom barley soup, and a side of potato salad. Everything was delicious; the sandwich was stuffed high with chicken salad, the soup was such a nice rich texture with mushrooms galore, and the potato salad was some of the best I've had. I can't wait to come again! read more

$28 for a sandwich from a new, no name deli? Absurd. Kamala inflation is bad but not this bad, even in Manhattan. The famous Italian sandwich place from Florence has $15 sandwiches. And they wouldn't even do a half here. Not worth it. Go to the famous deli if you're going to pay $30. Prices need to come down and the only way to make it happen is to not pay it. read more

I received from pretty decent food. And a turkey and corned beef sandwich. It had fresh lettuce and tomato. However much to my surprise it was done made on White Bread. Hard to take in a deli that doesn't use Rye for their sandwiches. The mushroom barley soup was very good. Spinach knish was on the salty side. Overall, I would eat there again, but not go out of my way. read more

Had the mushroom barley soup & it stayed warm on my walk back to the apartment. Good serving size & included Matzo which was very fresh.

Would love to be able to write a great review but the delivery service was so terrible that after waiting for an hour, not only did they go to the wrong address, but I ended up canceling as our lunch guests had already left. Then the guy who I spoke to blamed my (British) accent for his inability to capture the delivery address correctly! read more

Had one of the few veggie options, the grilled veggie wrap, and a square potato knish. Both were very respectable

I stop by for a quick bite and got the challenge which looks delicious. it's the best Chulent I've ever had. Totally unexpected how delicious it is. this place is well priced and put in a ton of meat. Totally recommend read more

This place has the best swordfish in the city! The best! I always go here when I give a friend an Armani suit and he offers me a meal as compensation. They also have great soup, but, I don't count that as a meal. read more

This was the 2nd time i bought a Groupon for Mendy's... I should have bought a magnifying glass instead to find where the meat on my sandwich was... lots of empty space on the bread... was supposed to be Rye bread, but was more like white bread... much better alternatives in the city, where you can get some meat on the sandwich... I won't be coming back... read more

Went recently for the first time. Had a pastrami sandwich. The pastrami is every bit as good as the " name brand" delis. Unfortunately, it's served on the cheapest crap white bread shaped like rye. I'll never understand establishments who get the hard stuff right and screw up the easy part. They obviously buy this cheap bread in bulk and it really does detract from the sandwich. Next time when I go, I'll come with my own two slices of rye and throw their bread in the garbage. I wouldn't even give their bread to birds. I have too much respect for them. Come on Mendys, do the simple stuff correctly. Did I mention that the pastrami was excellent? I had to withdraw one star for the garbage bread. read more

This Mendy's moved from Park Ave and 34th Street...i had the misfortune of having no other kosher deli to go to in the neighborhood at the t, and the food was very poor. Frozen matzo balls, corned beef, roast beef, pastrami kept sliced and rolled up ready to be slapped onto two slices of rye or a roll. This place is a very poor example of fine kosher cuisine. If you find yourself stuck having to go here, eat safe, order a hot dog or gefilte fish because they buy that, and do not prepare it themselves. Also the cleanliness is questionable. read more

Terrible customer service. Men behind counter were nasty and rude. Unfortunately I walked out before I had a chance to order.

I don't understand the low reveries here.. this place is legit. A fantastic grab n go. The corned beef was lean and the bread fresh.. the place was clean and it's a solid option I'm an area with nothing great around. I'll be back read more

Fabulous food and excellent service - so lovely to spend the day! I will come back soon for sure. The pea soup was out of this world, my friend's mushroom barley soup was equally scrumptious and the falafel and pita sandwiches were extraordinary. Mine was extra spicy, my friend's regular. Both were amazing especially when combined with coleslaw and pickle and dressings on the side. This was the most superb vegetarian luncheon for the two of us. You've got to go to Mendy's 2.0 in person or online or on Goldbelly as soon as you read this review. read more

Deluxe hamburger is absolutely delicious and their chicken noodle soup is about as heimesh and Shabbat like as it gets!Prices are reasonable and portion sizes extremely generous. A must try definitely! read more

This place is ridiculously over priced. They should wear ski masks !!!! talk about criminal Not to mention the dirty sticky floors and the glass door that hasn't been cleaned in weeks horrible read more

Watched the cook cleaning up and throwing out garbage. Then my food is done. The cook thensticks his ungloved, unwashed hand into a plastic container (quart size) of salt and uses his dirty hands to then put the salt on my food. I mentioned the incident to the manager on my way out. Immediately through my food in the garbage. The contaminated the entire container of salt which will be probably be used for weeks. Disgusting. Stay away. read more

I wrote a review about 4 years ago on Google singing the praises of this place for their warm turkey sandwiches. It is now Mendys 2.0. Since then, they moved down the street to a smaller space, probably due to Covid. Four years ago I came here for the fresh roasted turkey sandwich. I came here today for the same reason. Their fresh roasted turkey today tasted like it was roasted 4 days ago. The meat was dry, cold refrigerated and flaky. A big disappointment for $20. I ordered their salad for $ 17, which was good. Lunch came to over $40. This will be my last visit to Mendys 2.0. read more

mendys is a staple of midtown kosher food. i recently got the mexican salad for the first time and really enjoyed it. plus, i can never pass down their pastrami sandwich read more
