It’s Tommy Pastrami New York Delicatessen, a casual restaurant in a strip mall located at 8685 Irvine Center Drive in Irvine.  Phone  (949) 753-7445

Customer favorites are the pastrami, corned beef, chili and excellent rye bread although other selections include brisket, oven roasted fresh turkey, roast beef, homemade chopped liver, fresh homemade chicken salad, albacore tuna salad, egg salad, homemade chicken matzo ball soup, and more.

The pastrami is leaner and less greasy than what’s offered at The Hat.  With that said, Tommy Pastrami is on the pricey side.
