Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen

Nothing compared to NYC but still a good joint for your fix. Had the salmon bagel open faced and definitely hit the spot, side mixed salad was light yet tasty too. Will go back to try more!

The pastrami Reuben , griddled with sauerkraut , Swiss cheese and Russian dressing is everything it should be at Wise Sons. That translates to pink with smoke, a little fatty, and seriously appetizing . Read more

Get the chicken salad if they have it on special; best ever. The corned beef : You just can't find anything as good anywhere in the West Coast! Chocolate babka worth a Seinfeld level public meltdown

Chicken soup for an alcoholic 's soul: the matzoh ball soup , paired with challah toast and a boylan's ginger ale . Slurp down and try to ignore the slabs of pastrami the size of your hand

Really enjoyed the pastrami . Bagels ok, but I am biased toward NY style. These are more like a dense roll, rather than crisp on the outside and chewy in the center the way I like. Good flavor, though!

Ok, I think I just had the best bagel of my life? (and I'm from the east coast!) Open faced bagel with lox is pricey but worth it, they really pile it on.

best bagel I've had on the west coast. hands down. so. good. loved the smoked salmon sandwich on an everything bagel .

The Wise Sons Deli menu claims that the Matzo Ball soup is "better than your Bubbies." It was...delicious. Savory broth with dill and the big ball had the consistency of polenta . Read more

Had an insatiable craving for pastrami and mustard after a deli movie on my flight. Wise Sons (featured in the film ) delivered! Potato salad was amazing too. Will return if I find myself back in SF :)

Everything is good. The Mushroom Ruben is a good choice on the lighter side. Don’t leave without a rugelach in tow.

One of the best delicatessens I've visited to date. I highly suggest the Challah French Toast , which was out of this world. Fresh seasonal fruit is a great addition, too. Note: seating is limited.

I highly recommend the chocolate babka . It's similar to Romanian cozonac in that it's soft on the inside, but it's crunchy on the outside.

Half pastrami and a matzoh ball soup . Perfect for a cooler day. Delicious. Also had the smoked salmon benny on Lattkes mmmmm

Sandwiches like Rueben , Number 19, served with pastrami or corned beef . Also breakfast served all day, soup with matzo balls , challah and bagels and lox

it’s time to break out of the pastrami-on-rye rut and try the Reuben at Wise Sons Deli . Do the corned beef (or pastrami , if you must), melty swiss cheese , kraut , and Russian dressing on rye .

Sometimes I have a craving for their smoked trout salad . Then I sit with my smoked trout salad sandwich and people-watch. It's quite lovely ❤️

Go for tried-and-true deli fare (matzo ball soup , pastrami sandwiches ) or nouveau innovations, like the pastrami cheese fries or fried kugel with syrup . Read more

Love this place! Though there's a line lunchtime, you should try their Corned Beef Hash ! Never go wrong!

It's all good. And don't worry about getting a table- they will help you find one once you've ordered.

In a city devoid of Jewish delis , Wise Sons scratches my itch. Damn good bialy, great pastrami , and good pickles and babka

The house made celery soda is incredibly refreshing. I've never had anything like this before.

Amazing pastrami sandwich . I'm not normally a coleslaw fan but you cannot go wrong with it here, it's just the right amount of spice.

The Reuben is pretty out of this world good. The pastrami was thickly sliced and juicy. The rye bread , buttered and toasted to perfection. Downside? High cost. :(

Try the legendary Wise Sons’ pastrami sandwich , the matzo brei-- which reminds many of us of Mom’s Saturday-morning version, and the swirling, rich depths of the chocolate babka : Read more

Pastrami and bobka are amazing. Matzo ball soup needed more flavor and chicken .

The pastrami is tender, fatty, and slightly oversmoked, but delicious nonetheless. Skip the uninspired patty melt and go for the reuben instead.

Breakfast menu was solid. Went for lox and a bagel and cream cheese ; and while not the most adventurous, it hit the spot.

Pastrami . Rye . challah . Matzo brei, matzo ball soup . Very mission hip & a comfy , authentic nod to the east coast deli many of us grew up on. Big portions , be warned!

Sandwiches are served after 11am, but do try the Ruben w/ Corned Beef (pictured below), it's ah-mahzing!

Take a matzoh brei breather at this post-ironic Jewish deli where they brine their own pastrami and the walls are papered with fading Yiddish newsprint.

Veggie hash for breakfast (at any time of day) is seriously good! I subbed bagel for toast

Aptly-named, the Deli Burger is ground beef w/ 'strami/beet-horseradish spread/spicy brown mustard on Challah . It's like the whole deli on your burger . Read more

Solid pastrami , bagels are actually so so but made fresh. Great noodle kugel and the service is super.

Grand Schlam is great. Pastrami is smoky and delicious. Pass on the comically large and grainy French toast though.

Housemade Hot dog on challah bun special today and Banana Fosteritz French Toast w/ graham cracker streusel

The pastrami has so much flavor. I highly recommend it.

The things these guys do with pastrami are magical. Egg cream sodas are good too! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Smoked trout sandwich = so good. Some of the best fries I've ever had. Get a seat outside .

A bit overpriced, but the food delivers . Servers are also surprisingly personable.

The potato latkes are the jam . The corned beef hash is really good but a little light on the meat.

The matzo ball soup is out of this world. Pastrami like you've never had before

Crunchy and fluffy Bialys, great with lox , fried eggs , and/or house crispy pastrami .

Precita park is nearby. Grab the Reuben & hit it.

Reuben deliciousness!!

Keep it Simple: corned beef + rye + brown mustard + pickle + potato salad .

Good brekky spot, don’t worry the line moves pretty fast!

Delicious corned beef Reuben and fries !

Holy crap, wish I'd found this place before the last day of my vacation; incredible food and five star service. Do not walk past this place.

Amazing Pastrami and smoked salmon . Don't forget to grab a loaf of rye !

Can get busy on weekends, but tables seem to open up. Pastrami is legit.
