We had the Vareniki with meat and Polish Farmer's Kielbasa which were both delicious!! Really good price for good food, and relaxing atmosphere?

One of those meals that makes you feel happy and appreciate being alive. I ordered the borscht and beef stroganoff with a pear soda. Warned my soul on a chilly April day. Delicious. Wish I could finish the generous portion.

Huge servings, food is great. Prices are very reasonable. Service was good. They did add some 10% service fee and wanted tips on top of that, but it is easy to notice and fix. Still one of my favorite places in Brighton.

This restaurant is probably the best on the block. Each time we come to the city, it’s at the top of our list. The food is incredible and authentic, which brings me back to my childhood. Highly recommend this place.

I loved every moment of my visit to the Ocean View Cafe. I just got a cup of borscht, but I can’t wait to come back for a full meal. The borscht was so delicious. The service was great and I enjoyed the ambiance + music as well. Perfect place for a meal after a day at the beach.

It’s called Ukrainian restaurant, but no one is actually speaking Ukrainian. Not a problem, just an observation.Portions are big, nothing to add here. Food is not bad, service is a bit slow, but nice and pleasant overall.If you’d like to try out some Ukrainian/Eastern European cuisine - nice place to visit and do it, if you are in the area.You can also order take away or order food to cook at home (vareniki, pelmeni)Overall, I can recommend if you live nearby or in the neighborhood.

Excellent, unpretentious cafe in Brighton Beach. The Borscht transported me back to my childhood. Highly recommended if you’re in the area.

Today is Valentine's Day. We strolled from Coney Island Beach watching the sunset to here. Ocean View Cafe is a really cozy eatery. The portions are generous; the two of us, adults, ordered dumplings, vegetable rolls, and borscht soup, and our stomachs were filled to the brim, as well as our hearts. The service wasn't top-notch, but it's a family restaurant, so it felt just right. The dining vibe was super chill and relaxed. We've never tried Ukrainian cuisine before, so this was our first time, and we fell in love with it because of Ocean View Cafe. Definitely want to come back for more.Ps. Compot tea definitely is today’s super star.
Great food. Fast cooking. Attentive service
