Pastrami on Rye....in two act...

[Gabor 296]

I saw the many positive reports about the venue, so decided to try it, despite of my gourmet friend’s warn, he tried the restaurant twice and don’t liked it. Let see the truth....

My choice was the Philly Cheese steak .... The sandwich looked really nice, the meat looked generous portion. But hey, where is the cheese from the cheese steak sandwich ? Is the liquid cheese sauce awarded the name sheese steak ? It seems it was the deal.

The bun was soft and fine, but not the meat... it was hard and chewy... and not so generous as the first sight, one side of the sandwich was full with meat, the inner side less and none at the end of the bun. The taste of the sandwich was simple poor, the chewy meat wasn’t juicy at all, better to say it was simple dry. A big disappointment in this price range... in any price range.

My friend’s choice was the Classic cheeseburger. It looked great, a huge patty and not missed the cheese. The patty was juicy and tasty, he simple falled in love with this burger. I tried a bite and agree with him. The french fries were fresh and crispy, well worth the price.... with the Eatigo 30% discount.

 

 

The marinated pickle was added to both plates, was simple excellent a very nice idea, made more exciting the tastes.

 

Soft drinks: 45 Water, soda 35 baht.

 

 

On the next day, the second try...

 

My friend don’t wanted to experiment, he ordered what once was so good: Classic cheeseburger... what was again very good quality and tasty.

 

 

 

Today we decided to ask for the side dish the Cole slaw... It was crispy and tasty, however for me a bit rich with mayo.

 

My choice was the Meat ball sub... How to name this meal ? A foodie nuclear bomb... It was simple heavy when I took it into my hand.... Full, with material... Tasty, tender and juicy meat balls, plenty of the marinara sauce with fine herbs, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese... a taste orgy... in a good meaning... Following the victory over this meal ( I almost can’t finish it... it was a battle ) hard to move, hard to thinking...let the photos talk....

 

 

 

 

The melted mozzarella on the end of the sub just over flowed...

 

 

 

Verdict: Very good... time to get some rest around the pool....

Try the Reuben, best I've had in Thailand, if you can tolerate sauerkraut on your sandwich

Reuben is out from the Eatigo discount... so I will miss it probably...

I eat there regularly and they always seem to have great food to me. Thanks for the report.

I eat there regularly. I have had the Philly cheese steak and thought it was okay but not my favorite sandwich on the menu.

[Gabor 296]

I decided, finally to try the POR’s pizza, despite some people warned me, it’s not the thin and crispy pizza... ( Originally I planned to try the taco pizza, but I was a cretin, mixed the taco with the fajita... )

The very first impression: It is huge. ( and it was, I visited yesterday at 2pm the restaurant and at 10 pm I still felt full ) And it was crispy too... Filled with chicken, onion and bell pepper... some garlic sauce ( unnoticable ) and.... a lot of fine mozzarella cheese.... Some may say it was a bit tasteless, but I liked on this way, only the natural tastes. For those, who like like the more charasteristic tastes the jar was available with plentiful tomato based pizza sauce with fine herbs... I tried the calzone with it too, but I liked more the natural way.

Only one small crtiticism: On the end of the calzone the filling is finished.

Verdict: I liked it very much... I will be back to try the taco calzone...

199 baht with the Eatigo 30% discount... great value. Highly recommended.... even without the eatigo discount, if you aren't a member...

Again a huge piece of meal on the table... at this time without a separate plate. This calzone a heavier version of the Chicken fajita calzone. Instead of the chicken chunks minced beef. Apart from the fajita’s onion, bell pepper, huge portion cheese also added olive pieces and fresh tomato slices.

It was tasty, juicy and fantastic... again, I don’t even touched the tomato based sauce with fine herbes was served with the calzone .... it was perfect as it was. ( No matter, the sauce was also very fine )

300 baht ( 210 with the 30% EatIgo discount )

Small soda: 35 baht.

Verdict: I found out, I like much more the calzone, than the open pizzas... the filling is much more succulent , than on an open pizza. A good discover. Not for my diet... I almost exploded after eating this monster.

9/10 ( the cheese was poured unevenly, in some bites only the ragout, in some bites only cheese )

Looks good :-)

I would never have guessed you would succumb to American comfort food. :-D

Definitely doesn't qualify as American comfort food.

I had one of those last night , in the UK we call them " Ginsters cornish pasties " very nice with some thick gravy on top.......

I was born and raised in Philadelphia. I've eaten way more cheesesteak's then I care to remember. i recommend provolone cheese rather then cheese wiz.

And it isn't... Calzone is a pizza folded in half, to put inside the usual toppings.

Ahh well - live and learn - I certainly thought pastrami on rye was American food - but (even though that is kind of unrelated) is the restaurant not run by an American ?

" Like their Italian cousin pizza, calzoni (plural of calzone) originated in Naples, Italy during the 18th century. Translated to "pant leg" or "trouser," the calzone's original purpose was to serve as a "walk around pizza." This Italian style turnover is created by folding a full size pizza in half. When correctly prepared, the calzone's outer crust is baked to crispy perfection while the inside filling contains a warm, gooey blend of ricotta and mozzarella cheeses along side an assortment of hearty meats and vegetables. The pizza dough like crust of calzones, traditionally make with yeast, olive oil, water, flour, and salt, makes them wonderfully portable. Calzoni, not to be confused with a similar Italian filled oven bread, panzzarotti, are always baked while their Italian cousin are similarly prepared, but deep fried. The original calzoni of Naples, were most likely much smaller than the modern calzones seen in American restaurants today, because the pizzas created in 18th century Italy were for a single person to enjoy. It is customary in America to top calzones with a blend of garlic, olive oil, and parsley and to serve alongside marinara sauce for dipping. Modern calzones grew widely popular after their appearance in the popular TV series "Seinfeld" in 1996 and, more recently, in the hit series "Parks and Recreation" in 2014. "

I had my first calzone at Pastrami on Rye, in my case sausage and mushroom. It was hot, very good and far more food than I should eat at one time. I don't think that calling it a folded pizza quite does it justice. I passed on the red sauce but I very rarely add sauce to my food.

 

As I expected, it definitely is not a pastie.

[Odense 489]

I know calzone (and pizza) comes from Italy (even though not all Americans believe that :-D).

But where does the sandwich "pastrami on rye" come from ?

Well, you're doing your best to salvage some truth from your "American comfort food" comment.

 

Yes, Pastrami on Rye (POR) is run by Americans.

 

The sandwiches are traditional classic sandwiches hailing from America.

 

Other items on the menu are international, like pizza products, but they are frequently eaten in America.

One of my favorite deli sandwich is a corned beef special. Corned beef, Russian dressing and cole slaw on rye bread. Don't forget the pickle on the side. If they offer it give it a try.

[MeGoDanceNow 4,281]

I had the Reuben sandwich at Pastrami on Rye. Huge serving of pastrami on toasted rye with sauerkraut and Russian sauce, so big I could barely finish it. Comes with a big pickle slice and fries.

 

At 345 baht it's not cheap for a sandwich but really tasty and the staff were nice. I'll definitely be back, maybe try the pastrami sandwich or corned beef next time.

[Chester007 175]

I've eaten here 3 times. I promised the owner I wouldn't comment on the pizza(s) that I've had there. NY pizza house is my go to pizza place.He did try but his staff... (Yes, I know the irony here)

 

Anyway, I did have and thought it was the best Angus burger I have ever had. It was the lowest price one and I had the fries done extra crispy. He does his own pickles and they were fantastic.

 

I will go back for the Pastrami on rye that I haven't tried yet.

I will go back for an Angus burger, they toast the bun which I like.
