Food was incredibly bland and tasteless. Even the fruit compote was too watery and had no flavor. The herring with raw onion was probably the best thing we ordered, and they likely get that already pickled in a jar from a food supplier. My boyfriend and I dined there one night because we didn’t want to wait in line to eat at the place next door. He is from Eastern Europe and says that this experience was very disappointing.

Borshch tastes like the borshch should taste; Kyiv Cutlet was good; varenyky were not as magnificent as I expected.Service fee.
I have been coming here for nearly 50 years. Haven't been in awhile since they changed their hours. I use to come at 12 during the week. Always had soup and pierogis. The food is consistent, fresh and delicious. Coffee fabulous. Service can be slow if it's busy. I miss their food. Dear Owners, please consider restoring your hours.Vegetarian options: Some soups

This restaurant is a hidden gem serving up traditional dishes. The wait to be seated was somewhat long and the service may have been slower than usual since the restaurant was filled with multiple large parties. However, the ambiance was comfortable and the food was delicious. My friends and I each ordered the combination platter so that we could try a variety of their foods. The stuffed cabbage, pierogies, and buttery kasha did not disappoint. They were wonderfully seasoned and so filling. The sweet fruit compote beverage was like a dessert for my palate. I highly recommend.

Is this the best food you will ever eat? No. But it's a place where you can forget you are in the Big Apple (maybe in the midwest somewhere?) and chow down in a warm and unpretentious environment with a seriously eclectic group of fellow diners. We went for lunch after taking one look at the Veselka line and deciding we were too hungry and cold to wait. Dark bread with salted butter from those plastic cartons hits the spot. The mushroom barley soup was good, but served lukewarm. I tried the kielbasa and mixed pierogies from the combination plate. Also the potato pancake. All were good. My husband didn't seem too impressed with his borscht or kasha, but we both agreed this place is a gem.

Absolutely loved it. I finally went in after years of walking by thinking “I should try this place”. I had the fluffiest pancakes here, with maple syrup and delicious coffee. Very nice people here.
Very good traditional Ukrainian food and reasonably priced.

Food: Everything was amazing! (I forgot their names, so please refer to the pictures.) Just the vodka shot was a bit too strong for me haha! Service: The waitress was pretty nice when taking our order and delivering the food Ambiance: I liked the family-style atmosphere. My Ukrainian friend told me that this restaurant's ambiance was pretty close to the restaurants at her home

I cannot heap enough praise on the Ukrainian National Home Restaurant! Authentic, delicious Ukrainian food, prepared and served by real Ukrainians. The decor is humble and beautiful. So lucky to have found it!
Best traditional Ukrainian home cooking supplemented by imported Ukrainian beer at a very reasonable price, hidden in the back of the Ukrainian National home.
