The food is super fresh! Quite salty but VERY filling. Also-the garlic cream sauce? AMAZING. It's homemade and free! It's so good! I didn't see any pics for burgers so I got this double burger because I like trying burgers at new joints-but please don't judge me for getting a burger at a pastrami place! The meat is their own and WAY better than any other burger joint i'ver been in! But again, salty! The servicd was swift and polite. Glad he recommended we get two baskets of fries instead of three! The ambiance was very fun! It was full of signs and all fun to read! Overall, great service!

My wife and I met a friend and his wife here for some pastrami sandwiches. The place was clean and the people working there were friendly. The pastrami sandwiches were very good. Unfortunately I didn't take the time to get some pictures of them because we were hungry. We live near SeaTac and we will be returning to Chicago Pastrami for some more sandwiches. Give them a try and you will be happy

Delicious sandwich! We had the Reuben style. Made really well. Nicely toasted, lots of filling - meat, cheese, kraut, sauce. Messy, but really enjoyed it. All sides separate. Have to come back and try other things!

I was studying at the Library and got hungry. Searched for local sandwich spots and found this place. Awesome find! And walking distance to the library! It's somewhat small and easy to miss. I had to check the map to make sure I didn't pass it. On the corner of the complex. Some decent seating inside for one-zees or two-zees. I'd avoid large groups and just get takeout at that point. Menu is decent. They're trying to follow the chicago theme. Cashier was friendly and let me know that their favorite sandwiches were the cheesesteak, reuben, and pastrami. I went with the Reuben. Reuben (5): Amazing sandwich! The pastrami was delicious! Semi-charred edges and flavorful. Smothered in a mixture of melted cheese and sauerkraut. It was amazing! The only drawback I can see is that its pricey. $16 for the sando with no sides. They could at least throw some chips in the basket or something. That wouldn't cost them anything and might bump their rating up to 5 stars. Regardless, its a good sandwich and I'll likely come back to try their cheesesteak and hot dogs.

It's messy and it's delicious. Like New Yorkers I like my mustard but when I'm in a Chicago place it's both. Ate my pastrami open-faced with a fork. I heard of cutting corners I got the end of the bread or the beginning of a loaf. However you want to put it. I wished they told me because I would have said flip it over to catch every morsel of meat. Slowed cooked and sliced to perfection. Some people said pricy but the proof is in the meat. They have it and you will enjoy it at the cost it is. I took the 1/2 hour ride so it's worth the trip and wait. Understaffed as everyone else kinda is. But wait and put it in your mouth.. You'll be back in Chicago like on The Bear, with no fighting or loudness..

Having lived in Chicago for much of my life, I felt a duty to stop here and at least give it a try. No, my expectations weren't high. I've been disappointed many a time when going to "Chicago" restaurants outside of Chicago. But I was in a good mood and figured, "What the heck, let's do this." I'm gonna start with the name. Chicago "Pastrami". I honestly didn't know Chicago was known for its pastrami. If it is, then I guess I'm not Chicagoan enough. However, they did have Italian beef and a Chicago dog on the menu. Those are the safer choices, so that's what we went with. First off, it's on the pricey side. And fries are separate. The wait was a bit long... but sometimes that's a good thing- means it's made to order. While waiting, I noticed the way the place was decorated with old posters and a gum ball machine that looked like it was once a fuel pump. Gotta say that was cool. The food arrives. It looks a bit funny. The beef has what looks like vinegar-based pickled veggies on top, rather than the more oil-based giardiniera & peppers that I'm used to. However, the sandwich was dipped to perfection, and the meat was flavorful. Very pleasantly surprised with how enjoyable it was. The Chicago dog's sport peppers were oddly horizontally lined up and down the hot dog. There was way too much onion. However, somehow they actually included the neon relish, and all the other fixings were hidden underneath. And yes, there was celery salt! While the bun wasn't poppyseed (damn near impossible to find here), and the hot dog was split & pan-fried... this was also a very enjoyable dish. Oh yeah, the fries were delicious, just needed a bit more salt. Overall... I really liked what we got here. It's not completely authentic to Chicago, but if you're craving decent diner/greasy spoon type of food and don't mind paying a bit more, this is not a bad place to stop at in Issaquah.
