    Very authentic food

    I've been a couple of times and really enjoy the soups and dumplings. The bakery items are excellent as well. There is extremely limited seating inside, so it's not good if the weather is poor unless you are doing take out.

    Excellent food

    Family visit and had breakfast sandwich, pulled chicken sandwiches plus kvas. All were excellent but it was a rainy cool day which made outdoor eating uncomfortable. Very pleasant server and people who were customers were very friendly.

    Overpriced

    Almost Authentic

    This is the smaller renovated version of the most authentic Russian food in the City. Now it’s a “hipper” version with hit or miss food. The Ikra is very traditional. The piroshki is fried or baked, sparsely stuffed, and sometimes overly salted, sometimes not enough...More

    This is the 2nd Russian Bakery I'd tried in San Francisco, and it is quite good.

    My San Francisco friends know EVERYWHERE the food is good and interesting, so I am lucky in that I almost never hit a bad spot. Cinderella is a perfect example. He ordered Chicken Kabuli, I ordered a Bolani and we agreed to share potato Samosa....More

    Yummy pelmeni, piroshki and vatrushka!

    This is a neighbourhood cafe in the Richmond area, so unless you've done your research/know about it beforehand, you are unlikely to 'bump' into it because it's slightly out of the way (although it is a two-minute walk from Golden Gate Park). Having never really...More
