Great spot to eat wholesome Ukranian dishes. Going with a friend or a small group’s always a good time - lots of shareable options. My favorites shall forever be the borscht, potato vareniki, and cheese vareniki. The staff is friendly and they usually take walk-ins, though you can also call ahead to reserve a spot.Tl, dr; if you’re looking for delightful Ukrainian food with a side of random music videos, you’re in the right place.Parking: It’s about as tricky to park here as anywhere in WeHo, but often the surrounding blocks will have a few metered spots open depending on the time of day.

So delicious! The borscht, potato dumplings, and stroganoff were so delicious. The vodka flight is a must. Huge portions on the food and drinks.
Ok, loin lamb chops are under $10/lb and leg of lamb is under $6/lb at the commercial butcher. What's with "Market Price" on the menu for lamb?And a pork chop should not be $23, even if it is "French cut". It's a pork chop!The borscht was good but I didn't enjoy the Golubtsy (cabbage rolls). I did not taste or see meat in the filling, no texture either. They were listed as an entree, so I went home hungry. I would have ordered the Stroganoff if it were served over noodles as expected.Have you considered adding Chicken Kiev to the menu?Also vodka flights showing Americans all a Russian vodka can be : I mean Imperia, Jewel of Russia, Sobieski, Beluga, Zyr.People would also appreciate caviar blinis. Everyone wants to try Beluga or Ossetra caviar...what if they could try just 6 grams on a blini for $30? It costs about $30 to buy 12.5g (if you buy 125g for $300), so there is profit there. People would love to say they tried it.

Borscht Golubtsy Bareniki ShashlikWe tried these and all of those were so good and in generous portionKind
Brought a group of 6 for dinner and lots of drinks. The most authentic Russian food you'll have. Amazing service by Dima and the team as always. I'm hoping this place will be around for many more years. My go to place any time I travel to LA

This is a Russian restaurant, serving Russian style cuisine, playing loud Russian propaganda on the TVs. It's bizarre how they present themselves as Ukrainian.That said, the borscht was decent, service was slow, lunch special was good value.Super weird atmosphere though.

Both locations are great. Delicious Ukrainian food and friendly service. They also have very tasty drinks, both alcoholic and not. Definitely stop by if you're in the area. Parking might be a pain during busy times.

We came on a Friday evening, unfortunately there was no service at all, we waited about 20 minutes for the waiter to take the order. The Olivier salad contained only mayonnaise and peas, it didn’t look fresh, but the borscht was very tasty. You can only go out of despair, unfortunately, because there is not much alternative in La, it would also be cool to see crab salad on the menu)

Great neighborhood restaurant with delicious food and nice portions, as well as great infused vodkas.
I had an amazing experience dining at one of the only good Russian restaurants in Los Angeles. From the moment we stepped inside, I knew we were in for a treat. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the decor transported us to Russia with its authentic and charming details. The menu was a delightful mix of traditional Russian dishes and modern twists on classics. We indulged in the borscht, pelmeni, and blini, and every dish was bursting with flavor and made with the utmost care. The attention to detail and authenticity made the dining experience truly exceptional. The service was impeccable, and the staff was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. They went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. I cannot recommend this Russian restaurant highly enough. Whether you're craving a taste of home or looking to explore new culinary delights, this place is a must-visit. I cannot wait to return and savor more of their delicious offerings. Bravo to the team for bringing a taste of Russia to Los Angeles!
Good Russian food and service!
