We celebrated 24 years of marriage last night at Sudova and it was awesome. The service, drinks and food were all spectacular. Lots of parking choices, quiet atmosphere and friendly people. We will be back.

What a great dining experience. My wife and I dined at Sudova for our 8th anniversary - perfect location for our celebration meal. Cozy atmosphere, our server was fantastic, and food was delicious. Great cocktail options. Appetizer dumplings were fantastic. We finished off our meal with the Hungarian aperitif Tokaji 👍👍 Plenty of paid parking across the street - $7. Definitely would return.

A disappointing meal for the price, but a beautiful environment. I appreciated their vegetarian options but for the small plates our rye bread was beyond toasted, it was burnt. There were whole spring onions included on the plate with no instruction of how to integrate into the dish. The parsnip latkes were very dense and the dill creme freiche tasted like nothing. The special of vegetarian cabbage rolls were complete mush on the interior and also had an underlying burnt flavor. The brownie and ice cream were quite delicious to finish our meal. For the price and the hype, we expected a better meal and more attentive service. They did not remove the small plates before arriving with the large plates, no one asked if we wanted a second drink, and our water jug was empty for a while before we got a refill.

Brisket stroganoff was very underwhelming (meat was tough). They were out of the salmon which was a disappointment. Dumpling special was good! We had a good experience here previously which is why we came back, but this visit missed the mark.

Ukrainian restaurant. small, set back from the street and hardly noticeable. delicious food with unpronounceable names. thankfully the server, Bailey, accurately described each dish and walked us thru the menu. 4 of us shared 3 large plates, 2 small plates and 2 appetizers and 1 dessert. more than enough food. make certain any reservation you make is for a table, not the bar, especially if u want to converse with your companions.

Lovely place for a celebration dinner. Considerate of allergies. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. We had the cabbage rolls, the latkes, the potatoes, the dumplings, the salmon, the fried chicken, everything was delicious!

The restaurant is a bit small so it's not great for large parties in the winter but the patio has more room for bigger tables when it's warm out.

Sudova is an absolute gem, offering authentic and original cuisine right here in Cincinnati. Every dish felt creative, fresh, and full of flavor.
I tried the Pelmeni, the special of the night- delicate dumplings stuffed with butternut squash, served in a rich brown butter sauce with scallions, crispy Brussels sprouts, pomegranate seeds, and a touch of dill.
The Borsch was equally delicious- hearty with beef roast, root vegetables, and a dollop of dill smetana that tied everything together perfectly.

This place is fantastic! The food was so fresh and well made and the menu is really well thought out and unique for our city. The dumplings were *chefs kiss* 🤌🏻, the drinks were tah-die-for and the small plates and entrees were so good. The restaurant itself is stunning on the inside. 10/10 we will so be back!

Attentive staff, beautifully moody space and delicious dishes with something for everyone. Had a great experience here. The cherry jalapeño cocktail was wonderful and the crispy chicken dish is something I will be thinking about for a while. The honey cake was lovely too - we saved a few bites to take to go and enjoy with coffee the next morning.
