Make a pastrami sandwich the centrepiece, or add spare ribs to share: at FREEMAN SHOKUDO, part of the appeal is choosing how much American-style fare to order. One diner described the sandwich, layered with pastrami, as memorable for its tender meat and balance of salt and spice. Another enjoyed its pronounced black pepper flavour. It is a good choice when you are in the mood for a boldly flavoured sandwich.

Spare ribs are another popular order alongside the sandwiches. One lunchtime, two diners shared a pastrami sandwich and paired it with a half portion of ribs, fries and craft beer; they reported feeling full by the end of the meal. Another diner enjoyed the ribs’ spice and liked both the grilled ribs and the pastrami sandwich. If you are sharing, a half portion of ribs is one way to make room for a few different dishes; you can build the meal around the number of dishes and portions you want.

A salad is another option alongside the meat dishes. One diner who ordered green salad with pastrami and ribs found that it brought balance to the meal between bites of the richer dishes. A diner also reported that the sandwich contained sauerkraut and pickles, and another enjoyed it with lager. The restaurant lists a wide selection of craft beers, so there is also a choice of brews to pair with the food.

If you are planning a meal centred on sandwiches or ribs, booking is an option. The restaurant offers dine-in and takeaway, though one report notes that pastrami sandwiches are not available to take away on some days. It may be worth checking ahead if you are planning to order one to go.
