What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Cute little deli and market on the east side of downtown San Mateo. There’s a decent selection of hand-made gourmet sandwiches, and a small shopping area while you wait for the sandwiches to be made. Portions are decent and reasonably priced. Fast and friendly service. Limited free street parking."
"Nice staff and friendly service, but I was disappointed with the pastrami sandwich. I asked if it was hot, and while the bread was warmed, the pastrami itself wasn’t. I tipped 18% and appreciated the service, just wish the sandwich matched expectations. I decided to give the place a try, and you live and learn—everyone should judge for themselves."
"The Golden 9th Deli & Market is top notch, so top notch you'll need a ladder to get there, and not just any ladder.. but one of those big fire truck ladders! I got the standard ham on sliced sourdough, and it was Amazing! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆"
