Yans Deli is described as a warm, modern Jewish deli with a broad menu that covers comforting classics and creative twists, from rich soups and pastrami to hearty latkes and fresh baked challah, with brunch, lunch, and dinner options that many reviewers find tasty, well balanced, and consistently flavorful; the atmosphere is frequently praised as welcoming and family friendly with easy parking, and the in house baked goods and milkshakes stand out, though a few diners mention high prices and occasional service missteps or uneven execution.
We had the pleasure of trying the catering from Yan's. It was all very delicious. High praise for the club sandwich & the latkes. Everything tasted very fresh, salad, salmon, smoked meat, sausage, deli sandwiches, the portions & prices were excellent. I would certainly recommend it for the catering & will have to try a meal there soon.
Went for lunch with my bestie. Had the best smoked salmon & latke I've had in a long time. Super friendly & very attentive service. Amazing experience. Will be back again & again

My goodness, what incredible food! Yans made several of the best dishes/types of food I've ever had. Their pastrami, latkes, & chicken noodle soup all fell into that category. Their espresso drinks & the desserts were fantastic. We loved the decor in the restaurant, comfortable, stylish, & with & with personal flair. The servers were welcoming & accommodating of the two toddlers we were with. They both loved the grilled cheese sandwiches they had too. I'll be dreaming about this food for a while.
Brought some friends from Europe. We had a wonderful time! Thank-you. I had a pastrami sandwich, huge latkes & a huuuuuuuuge carrot cake. Cherry soda was nice too. It's like going to heaven. Here is a picture of a huge black & white cookie my friend ordered.
I went in with an open mind to try this'bougie' Deli (that juxtaposes Bubby's latkes & expensive Wagyu steak)
Service for 2 took almost 30 minutes, the side of'fruit' that I was supposed to receive was a single slice of melon, the coffee is literally made in a commercial Nespresso machine (with the pods) & tasted awful, & the latke is closer to a cake than the latkes we're used to. You may like it, but I didn't. & the coffee is a dealbreaker for me.
Definitely cashing in on nostalgia here, but I doubt we'll be seeing many old-timers coming in as this faux'deli' caters to the Instagram generation instead.
The food is really incredible!! I highly recommend the sandwiches. The latke was also insane! Everything was better than I expected. Though the steak was quite expensive for what it was. Nevertheless, I would definitely come back.

Great food , Benji served up an authentic & delicious Jewish style brunch. The latke was HUGE , eggs & salami delicious , salmon plate decadent. Service was friendly. I very much enjoyed the dish-ware too.
I also went there for dinner service.
-We ordered the chopped liver to start. It was a pate style chopped liver. It came with pickles , challah roles & a delicious everything bagel seasoned compound butter. Yum.
-for main I had the chicken noodle soup. Awesome ! Top tier matzo ball & kreplach (don't tell bubby)
-we ordered the steak frites which consisted of a specially prepared brisket & fries in a decadent mushroom sauce. Wonderful! & great sauces to go with the fries.
-we ordered the special of the day which was a latke sandwich of steak tartare , topped with a devilled egg & caviar??? Delicious innovative haute cuisine that we've never tasted before & loved.
-throw in the home made celery soda to drink & the very friendly & attentive service & you're in for a great experience.
It's a deli except everything is different, more creative & better. Think the best challah you have had, the biggest richest bowl of chicken soup & potato latkes with beef tartare & caviar. Insanely delicious.
Yann's deli is incredible. The food is comforting (& quality) staples, we had the lox, pastrami, massive latkes & more… everything amazing. Ambiance was friendly, airy & comfortable.
I wish we would have tried the sandwiches but will definitely be back
