Mendy's NYC — Restaurant in New York

Good food, bad experience.

Potato kugel: I love that they serve this, as I haven't had it in a long time. I liked it better than all but one other source I've had.

Latkes: Standard NYC quality, maybe slightly above average. Came with a side of apple sauce.

Chicken soup with matzo ball: Standard.

Half pastrami sandwich: Generous on the pastrami. Provided more mustard and Russian sauce on the side than necessary. Bread a little soggy, probably due to the issue below.

Coleslaw was tangy, the mayo thin (which I prefer). Pickles full sour.

__ I ordered this as a pickup order via Seamless. When I showed up, the clerk said it was already out for delivery based on a call they received. To an address that wasn't me. So I waited 17 minutes for the delivery guy to return with it. Maybe my seamless order was hacked, which seems unlikely, but even if it was, they should've verified the caller had my number. The clerk said sorry before handing the food to me, which I appreciated. I biked it home in rain that I otherwise...

DO NOT GO THERE. Three sandwiches and 3 kinishes cost me $67. For that price you'd think it'd be the best sandwiches my family and I have had in our lives right? Nope. There was absolutely nothing special about this food- if anything I'd criticize how they built the sandwiches. Though I can only attest to the sandwich I had, it was rather unpleasant. The salami was cut far too thick for a sandwich and they destroyed it with mustard- way more than a normal human being would ever consume. I've made better sandwiches myself and they sure as heck didn't cost me nearly as much. This deli takes advantage of where their located and acts as a tourist trap. I would NOT...

Mendy's restaurant, which I used to patronize very often, decided to rent the back of the store to another restaurant called Bedford on Park. The dining room in the back no longer belongs to Mendy's and the seating in the front of the store has become more crowded because several tables were squeezed into the front to make room for the fancy Bedford on Park in the back. Sometimes there are no available seats. Other times you are forced to sit at a double table and share it with some rowdy teens who come in from a nearby school. I'm very disappointed and will be looking for another restaurant. If you want a quiet and comfortable place to eat...
