    potato salad with bread crumbs
    Benjamin S.

    This is an open, casual new deli in Southeast Portland. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. It can be pretty busy on weekends, so I mostly go for weekday lunch. Overall I thought the food had quality ingredients, and they're fast with bringing it out. but there wasn't anything mind-blowing. The Jewish wedding soup had nicely made matzoh balls and also pork and beef meatballs, but the broth was a tad salty for my taste. The Reuben knish looked cute. It was fine except the filling felt dense and the bun could have been softer. Corned beef sandwich felt like a classic, and the thinly sliced corned beef was good and layered nicely, I just wish there was a bit more of the Russian dressing because overall it felt like a dry sandwich. The rye bread was one of the better housemade version I've seen. I did find the potato salad to be quite unique because of the crunchy bread crumbs covering the top. Gave it a nice texture. This is a potato salad with more a vinegar slant, which I actually like. I'm glad this is in the neighborhood, it's a decent friendly spot for the area.

    I'm not much one for sandwiches, but a friend recommended this shop to me. One a day my stomach…read morewent on crazy growling mode, I paid Lottie a visit. Entering the shop, you will be greeted by loud music. Be ready for that. You will have the option to dine outside, if the weather provides it and the seats are empty. The hosts are wonderful and very accepting with a positive attitude. Smiles and all. I ordered the Jim because it was the only sandwich I could eat. The majority of the sandwiches contain meat, so I would not recommend this for vegans or pescatarians. Jim was delicious and I consumed both halves of Jim flawlessly. Either hunger overruled me, or the sandwich was that satisfying. I do recommend the shop, but with limited options for non-meat eaters, I truthfully would rate Lottie and Zulas, 4.5. Yet, I don't believe the spot was "good."

    My tastes are likely just different as the reviews for this place speak for themselves. We had the…read moreJimmy (as a salad). It was too smokier than I imagined but tasty. We also had the Vinny which was fine, a bit spicier than I thought it would be, but I'm a wimp. The service was fine, not overly friendly but adequate. The food is 4 stars, the service 3 starts, but the real bummer was all the plastic. Plastic container, plastic cups and we were eating in. They asked if it was to go and we said no, but everything came in plastic anyway. The ambiance is quintessential Portland, right up until they bring all your food in plastic with plastic silverware to boot.
