Les critiques s'accordent à décrire Yans Deli comme une adresse moderne et chaleureuse où la nourriture est exceptionnelle: pastrami et brisket remarquables, latkes croustillants, soupes riches et plats faits maison, servis dans une ambiance conviviale et un cadre soigné. Le service est généralement décrit comme attentif et sympathique, et la carte, qui va du brunch aux plats à emporter en passant par des boissons maison, offre une grande variété pour toutes les occasions. Si les prix peuvent sembler élevés et certains repas ont connu des ratés, l'ensemble est perçu comme une expérience culinaire mémorable qui donne envie de revenir pour explorer d'autres plats.
Yans Deli is great. Whether you go for brunch or dinner, there's a good mix of options, including healthier stuff if that's what you're looking for. The green salad & the wedge salad are really good, & they also have different fish like trout - everything is consistently delicious. Definitely a spot I'd go back to.
Yans Deli es excelente a cualquier hora del día.
El brunch es generoso y lleno de sabor, el almuerzo es ideal tanto para una comida relajada como de trabajo, y la cena es siempre de gran calidad. La comida es excelente, el servicio es atento y cálido, y la experiencia es impecable en cada visita. Muy recomendado.

Brunch on Sunday. Was a wonderful experience. I had the Shakshuka. It was delicious!!! The party sandwiches were next level of amazing. Device was great. Can't wait to go back!!
We felt very comfortable walking into the Deli & realizing that what we were smelling wasn't a marketing strategy. It's brisket. It's pastrami. It's onions softening on a flat top somewhere behind the counter. It's the honest, homey aroma of a deli that understands exactly what it is.
This isn't a place trying to manufacture nostalgia with Edison bulbs & ironic menu fonts. The nostalgia here is incidental. Accidental, even. It comes from real food made by real people, served without theatrics. All the good things a deli should have? They have them. Pastrami that respects your appetite. Beef bacon that doesn't apologize for itself. & the pickles. Perfectly brined, crunchy, & just sour enough to make you sit up straighter.
Behind the counter, the vibe isn't some corporate'brand story.' It's plastered across the walls in art, photos, random decorations, & a delightful custom Lego set of the building itself. We loved that detail! It tells you everything: they care, but they're also having fun.
About the food.
🥪 The tuna melt. Generous tuna salad, not gloopy, layered thick between golden, griddled bread that had that perfect crunch.
🍔 The onion brisket sandwich. Deeply savory, tender brisket piled high, carrying that slow-cooked richness. It was bold & hearty.
🥤& then, the milkshakes.'Powerful' feels like the right word. These are not polite, airy shakes. They are THICK. The Biscoff one was bliss in a cup. The baby Guinness frappé-absolutely delicious-balanced sweetness & depth.
The menu doesn't stop there. Brunch items? Check. Specials? Of course. Alcoholic drinks menu? Yes, because sometimes your pastrami wants a proper pairing. Snacks, things to go, comfort food staples-they have it all.
A deli that stretches into modern territory without losing its roots.
& here's the part where I speak plainly: I pay for my meals. No comps, no influencer hush money. Just me, my wallet, & my honest opinion. We absolutely loved everything we had here. Truly.
But.
My meal-tuna melt, one milkshake, & three cows in a blanket-came out to $40 plus tax & tip, totaling $53. That's not cheap. The food was very, very good. But there's a point where the price-to-quality ratio starts to wobble. At a certain number, it doesn't matter how delicious the brisket is or how perfectly the pickles snap. It just feels like a lot.
Would we go back? Yes.
Would we go back casually, on a whim, without checking our bank balance first? Maybe not.
This is a excellent place. It's heartfelt. It's delicious. It's doing a lot right. But like their milkshakes, it packs a financial punch. & sometimes, no matter how good the food is, the bill has the final word.
Highly recommend! Been to Yan's Deli for Brunch & the food, service & atmosphere were all excellent! Both my daughter & I had a great time - very family friendly!
We also ordered their superbowl package this year - everything was top notch & fairly priced! The package even came with a full set of clear & easy to follow instructions to properly reheat each item. Will definitely be a mainstay for our future superbowl parties!
Yans Deli is consistently excellent. Chef Benji, formerly head chef at Joe Beef, brings a creative but approachable menu that works just as well for brunch, lunch, or dinner. There's a good range of options across price points, & the space suits everything from family meals to business lunches or dates. Easily one of the better spots around.
The Sunday brunch is delicious. Even better is the service. Everyone's so attentive & kind. Special shout-out to our server Jenny was made our experience so special!

Exceptional first brunch experience at Yans Deli today. The portions were extremely generous for the price & the attention to detail was evident in everything from the food, ambiance, & cheeky Lego flowers on every table, to the way in which our leftovers were packed meticulously at the end of our meal.
A very special thank you to our server Mike, who was incredibly attentive even though it was the Saturday lunch rush.
Congrats to the entire Yans Deli team! They've created something truly special. :)

The staff is very friendly & the food was simply amazing. We got the Mixed Deli which was more food than the two of us could eat. We were happy to take the rest home!! Definitely try the Papanasi dessert if you leave a little room. There was light music playing & it made for a nice brunch vibe. What a wonderful experience.
An elevated brunch & deli, with a homey but modern environment.
The smoked salmon sandwich in the fresh English Muffin, deviled egg, & crispy potato was sooo delicious!!
