What People Are Saying About Ada's Famous Deli
The Editor

In Short – This bustling Loop deli does a mean midday business. Ravenous diners who arrive early settle in amidst the mint-green surroundings, while latecomers with grumbling stomachs shuffle toward a long line of waiting patrons. The crowd varies from casually clad tourists in search of affordable grub to chatty urbanites on long lunch breaks. Most come for Ada's mile-high, hot corned beef or pastrami sandwiches with potato pancakes, but you'll also find usual suspects like cheeseburgers, francheesies and Monte Cristo sandwiches. – –

A really decent deli on Wabash
by chowfunner at Citysearch
Great Noshes are getting harder to come by than ever, but Ada's meets the challenge. Several of their offerings come very close to the best I've had in NYC. The cornbeef was very lean, surprisingly tender and had that elusive old-world flavor. I was pleasantly surprised by the richness of the chicken and cabbage soups, both were quite authentic and tasted homemade.
- Pros: Great food
- Cons: None

the worst soup served
by annamyint at Citysearch
I ordered a noodle soup and has the worst experience. It is a clear broth with noodles not so fresh and no taste. Cannot imagine how they can serve that kin of soup worse than the noodle packet made at home.
- Pros: inexpensive
- Cons: worst soup

Ada's is still pretty OK.

I work as a bellman down the street from Adas, so I go there a lot. I really like their chicken salad sandwich, and theyre open later than most restaurants in this area. I send people there a lot because of their late hours and I suppose you can say their comfort foods that are pretty much available for the same price at every other restaurant. But when I send people there, they never comment to me on their food or service, which I guess is because you can find a restaurant just like this one where you live, except for the awesome sandwiches.
- Pros: Chicken Salad!, Soup!, Late hours.
- Cons: Average looks.

Save Time:
Although service tends to be snappy, those in a real rush should head toward Ada's long deli counter, where take-out orders are accommodated. Better yet, fax your order and they'll have it waiting for you.
