    The best place to stop for food in Moynihan hall while waiting for your train. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone with Pastrami and a bagel which you usually don't see together. Everything tasted super fresh.

    I was in the area and was looking for a place to stop for dinner. I found Pastrami Queen! I'm so glad I stopped here. My food was prepared very quickly. I only had to wait a few minutes. My pastrami sandwich also came with pickles, mustard and another sauce. My sandwich was warm and very flavorful. I would definitely order this again. I can't wait to order this again; I highly recommend it!

    Solid place for pastrami or other sandwiches when in the area... The breakfast is only available til 10am or so. Have only been here for lunch a couple of times. Menu is plentiful to choose from. Had the Thanksgiving turkey sandwich a couple of times...it is good enough to share and very filling. The warm gravy is good and needed as the sandwich can get a bit dry. The sweet potato knish is also good and shareable. Also tried the Chicken Queen - good as well, which was a lunch special. Yes a bit pricey for the area, but so are all the places in the Moynihan Food Hall. Will be back to try other options. Not too busy if getting ahead of the lunch crowd and food is ready pretty quick. Good to order food on the go especially for those with a train to catch...

    Decided to give this vendor a try for my dinner on the Amtrak. I've never heard of this business, unlike all of the other food vendors in Moynihan Food Hall. They earned a spot in the food hall, so they must be good. I ordered their Special of the Day ($18), which they had on a small blackboard. At the time, its was a chicken cutlet and fried pastrami sandwich, which was a delicious combination of meats to consume. Would come back to try other items in the future.

    I really enjoyed my food! I've been to some of the 'deli palaces' of NYC... and while this is just a little station in the Moynihan Train Hall food area... I thought it was a real treat to get a fresh made sandwich, matzo ball soup and some Mac salad to take on the train. The bread was fresh and nicely toasted. The meat was fresh sliced while I watched. The Reuben was really tasty! The matzo ball soup was also great. Just like the big deli palaces-- definitely not cheap---but I would definitely get food here again.

    TLDR: If you want a pastrami sandwich - it's fine. Personally felt the portion was quite small and not quite overflowing with meat as the signs might suggest. Got the half sandwich and soup combo. Matzoh ball soup was pretty tasty, nice texture on the ball, broth was decent and noodles tasty. Sandwich (even as a half sandwich) I felt was very small. The pastrami quantity was what I'd expect from a sandwich at Pret. Flavor was decent, the meat was tender but just not enough of it for me. Maybe if I'm in the area and ferociously craving pastrami, I'd try it again. I'd get the whole sandwich this time but still doubt whether or not it will be as overstuffed as the menu calls it.

    I ordered a pastrami sandwich and requested it to be toasted. The pastrami sandwich is $18. It came with two pickles on the side, mustard, and thousand island sauce. The ordering process was quick and seamless.

    YUM!

    Thrilled to find an outpost of the Queen in Moynihan Hall! And it's possible to order matzo ball soup with a slab of bread to eat before boarding Amtrak. How lucky is that! Never thought I'd look forward to taking Amtrak before. Game changer with Pastrami Queen in the house.

    I couldn't ask for anything better out of this small storefront of Pastrami Queen. The service was very quick and friendly enough, and the sandwich was amazing! The hot pastrami was fatty without being greasy, smoky, flavorful, and oh so tender!

    We were rushing to get our train and I stopped here looking for a substantial lunch. There were a lot of upscale choices in this new section of the train station but Pastrami Queen somehow stood out to me. I ordered the regular pastrami with fried onions. It was kind of pricey ($20+) but phenomenally good. Super thin slices of succulent meat and the fried onions were entirely worth the up-charge. The lady at the register was super nice and I was happy to give them my business

Water and excellent bread arrived immediately and the waiter was helpful describing dishes and giving advice. Salads were fresh and crisp. Caesar was nicely dressed and the mixed salad was a nice combination with well balanced herb vinaigrette. Seafood dishes had large amounts of fresh seafood and the veal picatta had the lemony flavor you expect without excessive acidity. Dessert was tasty and innovative. The ricotta based cheese cake wasn't as smooth as the cream cheese form but the citrus flavor was great. Throughout the meal water and bread were refilled, plates from completed courses removed and next delivered without being overly hovering. All in all a really great meal.

It works especially well for a mixed group since they have plenty of options including dishes without meat and everyone can find something. Even my picky niece and nephew were happy. My favorite entree is the Capellini Puttanesca, with capers, olives, basil, and anchovies. It's super tasty, satisfying, and the perfect portion. I also love that they offer wine by the glass and the service is consistently attentive. The waiters are always moving through the room, checking tables, refilling water, and making sure people have what they need. It's good, reliable, and near Broadway. NOTES/TIPS: **Reservations recommended via Google, Open Table; wheelchair accessible; clean bathrooms.

I first ordered the crispy spring rolls, which were very good. For my main I had the Massaman Curry. Now folks, this is my favorite curry of all time -- actually one of my favorite foods of all time -- and while it's common in LA where I used to live, it's not as common where I live now, in the Bay Area. And the restaurants that do carry it usually do not make it right and it's not very good. I am used to Massaman in the traditional preparation where it's more like a beef stew made with chunks of beef and needs to cook overnight. When done right it is the most aromatic curry ever -- it's almost like an aphrodisiac! -- and the beef comes out oh so tender. Usually if places have this curry but then offer a choice of protein, then it generally is not cooked properly, and that is actually how they prepare it at SaiTong. But because of such great reviews I decided to take a chance and try it. Well, let me tell you, it was definitely not the norm...it was absolutely delicious! I had it with chicken (they serve breast as default), and the chicken soaked up the curry really nicely. I also asked for there to be no onions, which I think alters the flavor of a curry too much. It does include the traditional potatoes and peanuts, and the potatoes were fine and cut into nice little chunks, the peanuts actually were thrown in raw.. what I think is the more traditional way which is to actually burn the peanuts a little bit, but that's okay, it didn't take down the dish any. Their brown rice is of the very dark kind, which I like, and goes so well with the curry. Service was wonderful from the bartender but was also provided by the rest of the staff and everyone was so nice. I left there feeling so satisfied, and cannot wait to go back and try some other dishes.

Came here for dinner before a show (and after watching that In The City episode...can we all agree the dress was white?!). Anyway, love the vibe of this place, very high end and cool feeling decor wise. We were seated and taken care of right away, our server understood we had to be out at a certain time and made sure everything came out in a timely manner which was much appreciated. I started out with the pani puri cocktail because I'm a simp for pani puri. Loved the little case this whole thing came out in, the drink was delicious and the puri had a smokey flavor to it. We had the Gilafi Paneer to start out which was soft, tasted homemade. The bell pepper and onion with it were roasted and excellent. I went with the goat curry for my main and was blown away, I ate every last drop of this sauce with the garlic naan I was happy to have ordered. Definitely not your typical mediocre Times Square spot. If you're looking for a pre-show dinner spot and love Indian food this is the place for you.

This was an absolute pleaser, thin roomali rotis wrapped around perfectly seasoned minced goat meat, paired with the chutney, this was divine. I would recommend trying this place out. We also tried the masala soda which was nice but missed the actual Karol bagh flavor.

Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste.
