Van Dam Deli — Restaurant in New York

(This rating is for: VAN DAM "EXPRESS" DELI) This humble looking but exquisitely yummy delicious edible diner is best in all of Sunnyside Queens!

Their coffee is cravingly compellingly delicious, as well as captivating savoring that you will come back again, again and make it your daily routine!

In my opinion, their coffee out beat Starbucks hand down! It's really very good.

You will be a believer too.

Furthermore, each day they work so hard (about 5:00 am) to give you something so mouthwatering for that day that you MUST come back again, again...

They have brisket-of-beef that will have you sucking your fingertips clean!!! And I mean deliciously CLEAN! I never would have thought that this humble looking spot would have such yummy tastes delights!

But There are close on Sundays :(

Now, here is a little personal advice from me their customer with my two little dogs that I come their two get my coffee....

Get here before the "Truckers" and the "Profession drivers" get there! Because when these "Truckers" or the Professional Drivers arrived these guys are more hungry than a bunch of buffaloes and locust! They clean out everything that was prepared that day...Everything by 1:30 or 2 pm! You know hungry men don't play around with their food.

I hope that find this my customer opinion to be accurate and make this a favorite place to buy your coffee...

The coffee is very good especially with half/half. And guess what... They are Chinese...and their coffee is Fabulous!!! So much better than Starbucks it might be hard to believe, but it's true.... I could just drink their coffee all day and not even think about food. This...

Price update: The Bomb is now $9.50. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up because I see older prices in the photos so I don't want people to see those and get confused. I was just there last week so my info is pretty up to date. Either way it's still totally worth it as the sandwich weighs quite a few pounds all by itself.

I made a rookie mistake, and I was really hungry and I forgot to take a pic of our sandwiches but I assure you they were huge. They also have big bags of chips for $2 and they stock the butter pretzels that I love. The line and wait took a while but it was well worth it. They had at least 5 guys working behind the counter and they were all super busy.

All the meats are top quality. The bread tastes pretty fresh, not exactly straight out of the oven fresh but we did arrive towards the later part of the afternoon so it was probably sitting around for a while. One hero from this place could easily feed four people, especially the bomb because its excessively loaded with so many toppings. They have a really good variety of meats, easily equivalent to what they stock at a full service supermarket deli.

If I am in the area I will...

The last time I was here and a frequent customer when I owned a business across the street and that was over 15 years ago. This place made the best sandwiches and I till this day always recommended this place to who ever was in the neighborhood. Unfortunately today was a hit below the belt and I would have never expected. The food or sandwich that I always ordered was terrible. I didn't say anything because I didn't know all the new people in there. I hope this was just bad timing. But when you have a new face in your store, you would want to make a good impression. For now on ,I will not recommend this place. Eat here at...
