T&j's International Deli - Orangevale

So far I've had two pastrami sandwiches in a week from this deli and I have to tell you they keep getting better. I'm not even a big fan of pastrami but the pastrami here has me hooked. You got to try it even if you don't like pastrami because after you eat it, you will like pastrami. It's the best in town.

Cook could be a bit more friendly but then we saw his interaction with a few others and he was generous with payment leniency.Update 5min later: Claimed to have overcooked bacon on BLT. Offered money back but it’s better crispy on a BLT. Changed from 4 to 5 stars

Great place, new guys really fixed things up a bit. Gotta try the pastrami

I've tried to eat there six times now and have been successful only three. One time you had no pastrami the other two times including this one, you are not open (1:45) during your stated business hours. I will not try again , you have lost a customer. He this is another example of someone operating a business like a hobby. Suspect you will be permanently closing your doors soon. It's a shame though the pastrami sandwiches were excellent. I continued trying to come here even though the owner has zero personality and the restaurant's ambiance is also zero.

I'm editing because I went into this place and had such a weird and uncomfortable experience with the guy working there. The signage said incorrect hours, the place is already divey (which I usually am cool with) but it's also so cluttered and questionable looking. Again, all od this is kinda passable, but then their menu is butchered and half the stuff listed isn't even available, and the one guy there, go figure, is literally so uncomfortable and unsociable and bordering on impolite. It's just like literally, between this and the recent review updates from people who USED to love it but now have to sadly avoid it, I can see why it's empty as can be even when it's open. Just kind of a shame, but hopefully things can improve, or a better restaurant can take over the spot.
