Kornblatt's Delicatessen - Portland

Love this place.Missed east coast deli’s and this place hit the spot. Fantastic hot Pastrami, Matzoh ball soup and hot dog.10/10 would recommend!

This was a pretty mediocre experience at best. Food was slightly spendy for what it was. We ordered a #2 Empire State Sandwich (roast beef, corned beef, salami), two matzo ball soups, Latkes, blitzes, and pickles.The sandwich was ok. Nothing to write home about. Should have had twice the meat. Matzo balls were mushy (if that's your thing). Latkes were good according to my wife. The blitzes were OK. Pickles were pickles...Tough to find seating for 3 had to rely on others to clean their own table because they aren't cleaned otherwise.I had high hopes for some good Jewish deli food and was severely let down. I'm not sure what all the amazing reviews are all about. I saw the cook microwave a lot of food while we were there...

The bagels at this restaurant are chewy, flavorful, and topped with just the right amount of cream cheese. After trying other nearby bagel places, I couldn't find toasted bagels as perfect as the ones at Kornblatt's. I also sampled some other items on the menu and they were tasty too! I enjoy coming here to snack on a delicious bagel, especially the sesame and onion varieties. The New York atmosphere of the restaurant adds to the fun dining experience inside.

Great service. Quick to order when it’s not busy. The menu is expansive with so many different options you will definitely return more than once. I recommend the Lox.

Sandwich #15 was the better of all that we ordered. Although I would want a bit more meat and skip the middle 3rd piece of bread. If you want the sandwich to look bigger and higher, use meat to do that.Knish was gummy and tasteless, matzo ball soup, well the matzo balls were good light and fluffy but the broth really needed help, grey, tasted like canned broth loaded with bouillon and a bunch of silty stuff at the bottom of the bowl. A good matzo ball broth should taste like parsnip, carrot, celey CHICKEN and should be clean and clear looking. Macaroni and potato salad completely tasteless, very lacking in salt and flavor. Lox and cream cheese on the bagel was great but it was 11 am on a friday and they were out of almost every bagel. Corned beef hash was ok potatoes and corned beef were a bit dry definitely not made to order. Front counter lady taking orders was super patient and nice with customers. Kornblats you better step it up a knotch. I would go back for another #15 minus the middle bread.
