Rittenhouse Deli

Rittenhouse Deli has been around since I was a kid. Back then there was a dining area with waitresses who called everyone "hon" along with a large deli case and small grocery area. Over the years it's changed owners, the dining and grocery areas replaced by large refrigerated beer cases, the deli meats replaced with a simple counter. It's largely takeout now, a couple of tables if you want to unwrap your sandwich and eat there. The food has changed too. It was great then, it's great now. Just...different. They still have hoagies and amazing cheesesteaks, home are fried eggs, replaced by bulgogi and burritos - they've added Korean AND Mexican dishes. On a rainy night the NMA and I stopped with a plan to get cheesesteaks. Then the menu called to me, like a siren song, luring me. Bulgogi, it sang. It also called the NMA. Calamari with chili sauce. The siren did not lead us astray. The Bulgogi was delicious. Tender meat in a sweet & savory sauce, moist rice and crispy stir fried veggies. The NMA said the calamari was "really great", not too chewy. Spicy, not overpowering. He also got a cheesesteak, which was classic yum, meat coated with cheese, sturdy yet soft roll. It's a little treasure, this place.

I heard that their liquor license was out of date and couldn't sell any alcohol..however I also heard their food is really good..I think I got food here a few years ago and it was really good. I also have a friend who loves their food.

Shout out to Rittenhouse Deli, which I tried due to a recommendation from here. Wings were awesome, Korean spicy pork tacos amazing, mandoos were great. Chap chae was standard. One child loved the guacamole so much that this is all he ate for lunch.

This place is almost too good to be true. They have one of the most delicious Korean food around and I was so pleasantly surprised. Not sure if it's owned by a Korean but they definitely know how to make Korean food. Wish they were closer to where I live - then I would go there literally every single day. Mexican food there is awesome too. My personal favorite is their quesadillas :)

Whats going on my fellow Yelpers and readers. I have to say it's been a good 12-15 yrs since I have been in here. A few changes , or renovations have been made here at Rittenhouse Deli that I am pleased to see that have been done. A big change in where they removed that petition they once had separating the dining area and counter area. It looks a lot brighter and cleaner , not that it was a hot mess before mind you. The menu did bump up a little also, with the addition to more crafts for you to enjoy while dining in or taking out.I came in with the intentions of ordering a cheesesteak, seeing their nearest competition isn't that impressive. I will say this, it is a little better than than the other 2 local locations, but what kills it is they chopped it up too much. Here is the skinny people , if you chop it up too much you lose a lot of its flavor. Now it has turned into nothing but a greasy bland stuffed roll with cheese. Again it is better than the other 2 spots located in the same area, those guys make it like its nothing but a salt lick. They also have other items that I do want to try, like their taco's or maybe rock out a burger. The counter ladies were very helpful, nothing but smiles and very courteous. Still this is a good spot to come in watch the game, get some good eats, and enjoy a craft or 2.

When you find yourself heading out to the city for interesting restaurants and delving into diverse spots when your closer to home, it gets easy to neglect your local deli. And that's why its taken so long for me to drop a review on my local sandwich and beer shop!In a lot of ways its a gross injustice for it to have taken so long for me to review Rittenhouse Deli, and not just because its been a right across the street convenience for a little over a year now. Its also overdue because its a deli that goes above the typical one by also featuring things like a secondary Mexican menu with decent tacos and burritos, a decently priced mix a six cooler filled with brews that you don't find in everyday beer coolers, and features the occasional special need to have item like fish tacos and Korean chicken wings. But Rittenhouse Deli also does the typical deli fare well by featuring good sized hoagies and cheesesteaks at a decent price, carrying good pickles, and doubling as a neighborhood spot that's perfect for sitting down and watching a good sporting event with a cold beer at.

Unbelievably rude people !! From the clerk.. to the owner . The place is very dirty also . The food stinks I don't advice anyone to go there waist his money and get treated poorly !

I take this place for granted all too often but I have to give it it's do- it's absolutely fantastic. Fantastic Korean food, fantastic Mexican food, fantastic deli... that's insane combo! And beer!!!!! We are not worthy

Thanks Rittenhouse for serving up some delicious meal varieties to have delivered! Got Enchiladas Suizas, and a juicy burger one for a day's dinner each. Delectable! Through uber eats. Have to try the Korean still.../

Great menu and the wide range of food is delicious. Only downside, the beer prices are through the roof!
