Tim ErdmannDecember 20, 2015Unfortunately probably the closest to a New York Deli/Restaurant in SD. Had the matzo ball soup, latkes, and a Ruben sandwich. I really wish San Diego had a legit spot like Katz's or Zingerman's.
Born on the East coast and miss the delicatessens from there? This is as close and genuine as they come. latkes, sandwiches piled with tasty corned beef or pastrami and the bakery = deli heaven.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
The weekday breakfast special 7am-11am is great at $3.99 compared to their regular menu prices.
I had the half order ceasar salad and added chicken. The half order was huge! The portions here are huge. Everything is shareable. A bunch of delicious options, too many to choose from.
This tip will not do this place justice. The menu has everything you could ever ask for from a Jewish deli. Pastrami on rye with potato salad...my go to. The bakery on the way out is amazing. Just go!
Dom DiluigiJune 4, 2019Everything is great here. For 30 years, never a bad meal. Staff are family, family owned and operated, fantastic people, fantastic food, fantastic service, best Jewish deli/bakery in SoCal too- Just had the peppered beef and genoa salami sandwich with french fries. So good. Def filling and enough for l8r.
Linda MathenyDecember 2, 2016Whole roasted chicken $8.95, AM Breakfast special$4.99, anything you want at the deli, and really AMAZING desserts from bakery!!😉
Joelle ReederJune 5, 2017I love this place, the food is amazing, but the prices have gotten a bit out of hand. A tuna sandwich shouldn't be $17.95.
Peter CivardiFebruary 8, 2015High quality Jewish deli restaurant. Hard to find chopped chicken liver. Breakfast special every day. A real bargain. Wonderful fresh soups.
R KApril 24, 2017Corned beef Sammy is awesome- generous portion reasonable price .. xcellent flavor .. be sure to get the rye- Almost everything. I alway have # 5. Get a to go container so you can snag some pickles for noshing at home.
Neha DubeySeptember 25, 2014If you're fond of Black Forest cakes, it's a must try here! Though it's a bit high on the cream but tastes authentic
Neil LibinAugust 5, 2014Been eating here since 1979 and I love the bacon mushroom and jack cheese omelette
chicken cutlets are great for a lighter meal... roast beef sandwich is so huge.. you'll have it for lunch tomorrow
Colleen AlarconJanuary 4, 2016So many good things here. The latkes and corned beef on rye are terrific!
Maria SidhuAugust 19, 2017Every time I'm in San Diego, I go to DZ Akins for their ding dongs. A must try!- Sandwiches, soups, latkes, desserts, brisket and corned beef. Huge menu
- GordonAugust 27, 2013Everything on the menu will make your taste buds dance for joy. The soup and mini sandwich is a great value.
The sundaes are ginormous. Even the simple sundae can be shared.- The avocado, mushroom and jack cheese omelette is very good.
Alissa ArmstrongSeptember 12, 2012Prenatal Silliness.... oh ya! I ate it! First one to order it in 20 years!
Gayle DavisJanuary 2, 2011Best matzoh ball soup! And the sandwiches are GINORMOUS!!! The desserts...OMG!!
- Thomas McCartneyApril 3, 2014Ridiculously expensive. Who charges 13.95 for a grilled cheese? 9.95 for a cup of soup? 19 bucks for a corned beef sandwich ?? Go to Denny's & hit the bakery at DZ
- Back for another Lox and Cream Cheese Omelet. Tell a friend.
Sean BadgerJune 18, 2013the Reuben is one of the most outstanding sandwiches ever made and they have perfected it try it with pastrami instead of corned beef...
Always great food, but the prices keep climbing like crazy!

"Potato cheese soup is definitely the comfort food I look forward to having when I come here. Add some bacon bits and it "pops" with flavor. Can't go wrong with the make your own taco salad."
