Wise Sons Jewish Deli

all the food is very good

EDITED: Changed to 5 stars -- realized I was ordering wrong. You can still get the pastrami version. It's so good! I've previously been a fan of this place specifically for their breakfast burrito. It's huge, distinctive, life-changing, even, the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. However, the past couple times I've ordered it, the recipe seems to have been altered: instead of generous hunks of pastrami, it seems to have no meat at all and a load of mushrooms. The other food is fine, but that was the star attraction for me.

The salmon bagel is was good but overpriced. Cashier was a black female with a nice smile. Refreshing to see. Would go back if the value was there but I’m sure where it’s located they don’t have a problem selling expensive bagels.

Decent Jewish food in the heart of the town

I have had bagels in Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island, Manhattan. Wise Sons’ bagels are some of the best I have had. A great find in Oakland, thank you.

The purist: its meh, pretty dry without the condiments, which they did not provide me despite it being in the description Matzo ball soup: bad, the ball and the herbs ruin an otherwise generic, decent soup The OG Reuben: pretty good Babka slice: its okay
