Dingfelder’s Delicatessen

I can’t recommend this place enough! As a former east coaster, I’ve struggled to find a Deli in the PNW that comes to close to the food back home. I can say without a doubt that Dingfelder’s is parallel if not better than anything you can find on the east coast or anywhere else for that matter. The Pastrami was cooked to perfection and the Matzoh ball soup was like a hug for my soul. 10/10 definitely check this place out!

Vance is the greatest; friendly to all and with a great sense of humor. The food is SUBLIME. It is the best deli food since leaving Brooklyn. He made kasha varnishkes tonight and it was scrumptious. The meats are piled high on the bread, as they should be, just like in NY. The matzoh ball soup is like Nana used to make, and they have Dr. Brown's Cream Soda. What more could you want? Oh, yes, to top it off, a black and white cookie!

Better than Katz Deli in NYC. Come with an appointment. Leave with the meat sweats. I've been coming here once a year since 2019 for lunch during PAX. Everything has been superb. The corned beef. The pastrami. Both types of housemade pickles. The rye bread. Nothing here leaves me or anyone I've dragged along disappointed. Start with the corned beef, or combo with the pastrami, and expand from there. Don't forget a potato latke. Grab a bagel for tomorrow morning.

I’m from Cleveland and know good Deli (shout out Corky & Lenny’s). Dingfelder’s is top notch. We get leftovers to nosh for the week. Would recommend the smoked salmon by the pound (it isn’t lox) and tuna salad. A frequent stop for me, especially for a hot matzo ball soup or noodle kugel. Vance runs a great restaurant for the Capitol Hill lunch crowd.
