Segal’s Oasis Grill

Great food, lots of it and very nice and helpful people. Heather (I think that’s her name) was great. Her first week, working alone and every table was served quickly with a personal touch. Smile on her face made the experience extra special.
Mushroom barley soup was delicious but a bit salty. Orange beef was amazing and too much. I took some in a doggy bag.
When I come back to Phoenix, I am coming back here again. Definitely!
One other thing… They are open for lunch. The Unilocal hours were wrong. They open at 11am. Call ahead to make sure.

I have been passing this place for the last 2.5 years as it is literally across the street from my work. A little jaywalking, and BOOM! You are there.
It was a gloomy semi-​rainy day, so it was a perfect day for soup. My coworkers and I agreed to try this place and were excited that it was kosher (not that it made a difference, but we wanted to try something new) and that they served Chinese, Japanese, American, and Jewish in one place. Two of got the Matzah Ball chicken soup, One got the wonton soup, and another one got the spicy chicken sandwich.
20 minutes later, I walked over to pick it up. The restaurant has a section that is «bakery» and butcher shop, and a grocery store for kosher items. The restaurant area is decent, nothing special. There was about 3 tables occupied, maybe 4 people total dining. I asked the waitress to split the bill by item since all 4 things were for 4 different people. She looked stressed. She was running around like a headless chicken serving FOUR people. Jeez, get it together. To be fair, it was her 3^rd day. She asked some guy to help her split the check, he came over aaaanddd taaaaalllkkkeeddd liiiikkkeee thiiiiisssss (come on, spit it out!!) who seemed annoyed. What seemed like a 5 hour transaction was FINALLY done!
Food time! My Matzah ball soup was overwhelmingly underwhelming. It was bland, salty, and overpriced. One of my coworkers said her wonton soup was just «eh» and the other one said what I said and the one who ordered the $ 13 chicken sandwich said that he tasted lots of char. Super disappointing for the hassle I went through.
Overall, everyone who worked here was slow and unprofessional even the owner. The food is extremely overpriced and bland. I will not be going back and I recommend you don’t either. SAVE THYSELF!

Phenomenal food! Can’t get kosher like this outside New York. All the meats are cut in house. They even roast their own roast beef. People complain of the prices but they clearly know nothing about the non-​kosher competition. These other places charge more for a steak or BBQ ribs. The portions here are more than generous and you’re guaranteed to see one of the owners because it’s a family owned restaurant. The service used to be dicey but they have a great and friendly front of house crew and the solid back of the house crew makes it happen too. Don’t let the location or bare bones marketplace deceive you: this place is a gem. American, Deli, Chinese, Uzbeki (trust me it’s out of this world and Actually by a man from Uzbekistan!)
It’s no surprise that when I’m in NY or NJ or FL that people have heard of Segals and also love it too! Skip Chompies and the other deli imitators… a real deli is a kosher deli and that’s segals. Never had kosher Chinese, it’s time to try it. Don’t even KNOW what Uzbeki food is let alone WHERE Uzbekistan is? Think the tastiest lamb chicken and beef kebabs cooked al fresco over hot coals.
Looking forward to hearing your reviews!

I’ve been here a few times and it’s always been subpar. It took 15 minutes after we sat down for someone just to bring us menus. I ordered a burger and fries. My burger came out burnt to a crisp. It was so dry and flavorless. The fries were good but cold. My husband ordered chicken fried rice which was actually not bad. It took about 45 minutes for these 2 things to come out. My mom didn’t have anything to eat but ordered a hot tea. After we got our food but her tea wasn’t out, she asked our server if her tea would be coming out soon… the server rolled her eyes and walked away without saying anything. Overall just a bad experience today.

So it s only 4 stars because…
Tofu is a Soy product and I don’t eat it due to a mild allergy I have… so when I say no tofu, soy sauce, soybean oil, vegetable oil there is a reason! Did not include soy sauce in the dish… I know it’s a pain for chefs but you can always call me to say you can not do it. Just saying.
So the craving was for matzah ball soup — I have a cold/​congestion thing — and was lazy to make my own soup — and it delivered! Greatly flavored, very salty though, but just like home. Matzah balls were a bit soggy but could be from being in the soup. Pieces of chicken made the soup along with the cut up vegetables.
And so I ordered delivery, only for me, and it takes me a few days to finish everything… And I am lazy or in this case congested…
Eggplant and tofu — came with the tofu though no soy sauce… The cook must have been hoping I had a friend or boyfriend over… not the same as I had it before could be a different eggplant and tofu dish but not sure why it comes out different each time. But the eggplants were good; fried on skillet and tasty and fresh.
Onion rings were it not for the congestion I might have moaned from how good they are. Seriously. Fried to a golden brown. This time sliced thinly last time thickly sliced. Again not consistent. Last time I had them they were much crispier and not sure how they were fried as I will see in a few days (allergy thing). Last time I had them they tasted slightly different. But definitely some of the best onion rings I have ever tasted. Again might be the congestion or might be different chefs in the place cook differently depending on which night you order from them, which might explain the mixed reviews.

I placed an online order at 4:41pm. I called to confirm and spoke with a nice lady who told me it would be about 20 – 25 minutes. So 1 hour later the food arrives. The driver must have dropped the food as the plastic bag was full of sauce that should have been on my food. I’m hungry so I ignore the terrible presentation as I do my best to clean up the boxes so I can eat. Finally clean everything and and I open my food… they delivered the wrong dish to me. I ordered beef and broccoli and received chicken and mixed veggies. I gave 2 stars because they agreed to refund my credit card otherwise 1 star and never again

Delicious. I got take out and the place is so homey inside! They have the strangest variety of food and it’s AWESOME. I got fried rice and an egg roll which were excellent. Huge portions. I also got the hummus plate and that was very tasty as well. I’ll be back.

They were fantastic! I was delayed in the airport and starving and they were so awesomely accommodating, and the food was sooo good (Shout out to shelly!) Keep being great!

A nice lean pastrami on rye, with great seasoned curly fries and basic side salad. When they first brought out the pastrami, it wasn’t lean, but after I pointed it out, the waiter immediately took it back and they got it right. Very attentive service. All in all a solid performance at a good price.

Segal’s a «shande» (a shame) to Judaism and also to good food. Please let me establish a little credibility: my family is out of Kiev and Eastern Poland. I write this just after Pesach, secular 2015. My family seders included Bubbee, 16 aunts and uncles and 30 cousins. Two of those uncles owned a live kosher poultry store in Philadelphia; as a child I helped out there. I have been to Segal’s five times for lunch. Their hamburgers. kosher though they may be, are cardboard and cost $ 18. When I was there, there were fewer diners than their were waitperons, but the quality of service was unacceptable. The market front room features two glass-​fronted cases that are not even lined in order. The trays are strewn sloppily with kosher meat that is outrageously overpriced. A small $ 20 chicken turns out to be tasteless. A tiny selection of kosher groceries is comparably overpriced. And, you know, the essence of kosher is clean. The last time I was there, I used the men’s room. There was fecal matter and used toilet paper strewn all over the floor and walls. After an hour, not eating my hamburger, I went back to the men’s room. It had received no attention. Chompies delicatessen is only superficially Jewish; it’s much more fancy East Valley. But please go there, not here. Thank you. Baruch Ha’Shem.

Small delivery order was 50+ minutes late. Chicken sandwich was miserably cold, soaked in mayo, and the coleslaw was warm and the fries were steamed to mush.

Service was good, even though we were the only people in here. The young lady was very sweet and attentive. Our cups never reached the halfway mark and I love that!
The food… I’m still in shock. How is it possible that the best orange chicken I have ever eaten, is at a kosher restaurant?! The hummus is delicious as well as the onion rings we ordered. I can’t complain about the portions either. I’m 245 pounds of sexy and I still couldn’t finish all my food!
We have found ourselves another gem and we WILL be returning again. Thank you!
PS: I ate my food too fast to take a pic.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Made an order for delivery and they guy that placed the order stated he couldn’t give me the total and then when delivered it they charged me $ 10 for delivery. $ 30 for food for a teriyaki bowl. I CAN SEE WHY HE WAS HIDING MY TOTAL FROM ME and then the manager was so rude and acted as if I was lying!!! I’m completely insulted. It’s not about the price it’s about the business that was given. Completely shady and rude!!! And the food was soggy with a strong stinch. Embarrassing to order in an office. I would’ve given NO stars if there was an option. COMPLETELY OVER PRICED FOR THE QUALITY OF FOOD FOR AND SERVICE. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!!!

Only reason why I gave it 2 stars is BC I liked their coleslaw and pickles. Boyfriend and I got the teriyaki chicken wrap and burger. «Teriyaki» was loaded with canned pineapple and a super liquidy sauced that soaked the wrap and made it soggy. Also strange that it was covered in black sesame seeds. Burger was nothing special, tasted like something I could get at McDonalds. For a place that claims to be very particular about their food they didn’t care much about flavor or presentation. Wouldn’t recommend.

First time here. If you’re looking for reasonable kosher priced dinner this is the place to go. we started off with soups which were delicious. Had the beef pot stickers surprisingly very good. Also ordered a pesto chicken pasta, teriyaki salmon came with a delicious baked potato and the hubby ordered a schnitzel. All were good., best part was the service, Leah she was fast efficient and friendly. If you go there make sure you ask for her.

Want some completely wonderful vegan vittles? At Segal’s Oasis Grill you will find fresh home baked bread and pastries, as well as some of the freshest most wonderful comfort food available out there — and it’s all kosher! The restaurant is situated behind the kosher grocery. The food is simply wonderful! This is the first time I have eaten at Segal’s but I can assure you it will not be the last. For appetizers, we had crispy tofu and spicy sauce, veggie eggrolls (massive and a little greasy but so very good and perfectly crispy!), and the freshly made onion rings. The onion rings come in a very generous portion and they are thick and just excellent! For entrées one of us had a pastrami on rye with curly fries and mustard. Even the mustard was different and just plain good! My sister ordered sesame chicken over steamed rice and commented on how wonderful the meat was, being really moist and tender. Mom had a bowl of egg drop soup. I am a vegan and so ordered the eggplant and tofu. The eggplant was some of the best prepared I have ever had. So good! The menu has something for everyone — really. The price is very reasonable for the quality of the meal. I highly recommend that vegans make their way to this hidden gem and enjoy!

Meh. Corned beef sandwich was decent, tuna was pretty good. Matzo Ball soup. Mushy and Flavorless. Service was VERY slow and not very welcoming.
Very sad because I wanted this to be great.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. At Segals, the customer is always wrong. The management and staff are the rudest people I’ve ever met.

Pastrami tasted good, but had a lot of tough tissue, and was near impossible to bite through. Rye bread was low-​quality.
Curly fries were tasty.
Cole slaw was yummy! Really the highlight of the meal.
Lemon bar was delicious, if a bit subdued. (I like the lemon to pucker my face)
The brownie was warm and chocolatey, but too many nuts.
Probably my only visit, unless someone invites me.

What is important about this place is that it services a very particular client very well. The décor isn’t so hot and neither is the product selection, but they do offer what they do.
If you are looking for a kosher butcher, here is one. If you are looking for products from Israel, here they are.
The magic of this place is the restaurant they have attached. Chinese food and deli in the same place! What!!!

Ok, I have been meaning to go here forever. As a Jewish Girl, I like to know where to get Kosher stuff.
I really did not know what to expect when arriving. The store was smaller then I had expected, but carried a full line of items. The meat case is where I hung out at most. I decided to not get any meat here, as I was more just kind of getting an idea of what they carried more then anything else.
They also have a resturant here, but it was being revamped, so it wasnt really open. I was kind of dissapointed, but its only temporary. The staff here is small, but personable and will answer your questions if you should have any. Please do not be intimidated when shopping here-​its not just for us Jewish folks! Its for everyone!
I would return here in the future, but probably not on a regular weekly basis. They have Challah, which I love, and one or two other things that I like to have around the house that are hard to find elsewhere around the Valley here at times.
You should also know that due to the Sabbath, the close early on Fridays, and are closed all day Saturday. They are open Sundays though!

Quandary — When reviewing a kosher place, do you rate it against other KOSHER places or just all other places you can eat?
I’m going to try to compare apples to apples here and give it 4 stars in comparison to other Kosher restaurants. If we were comparing it to all other places you could eat, deduct one star for ambiance.
We walked through a little grocery and butcher shop to the back where they have a little restaurant. The décor is typical slapped together kosher eating establishment. Random framed posters on the walls, wooden benches and Formica tables for booths, and the usual work desk in the middle where someone is doing paperwork.
Our waitress was an adorable Jewish girl with pretty blue eyes, a welcoming smile, and bushy and extremely expressive eyebrows. She took our order (matso ball soup, burger, fries, ice teas) and was back with soup so quickly it made our heads spin. The soup was good, with the small fragmented chicken fat on top (supposedly the sign of good chicken soup — the larger the droplets, the lower the quality? Don’t know if this is true but it’s what I’ve heard). The matso ball was tasty (though not as huge as the ones at Canter’s in L.A.).
The burger was typical of a kosher place — they love their meat to be dry and crumbly. It was a hickory burger so came with bbq sauce, onion rings, and slaw on the burger! I gotta admit, they nailed the toppings. Also, the burger came on a egg challah roll. If I had my choice, I would eat all my hamburgers on this roll from here on out until eternity. So, five star burger with four star meat. The curly fries were the typical restaurant supply frozen variety. The kosher pickle was out of a jar. Shame on you, Mr Segal. This is a kosher place in the middle of Phoenix. You are not too busy to pickle your own cukes.
Bottom line — if you want Kosher in Phoenix, go here. Why? Cause it’s the only game in town.
