    Delicious and great service. Love the menu and the variety. The Freida was good. Ordered the nutella/chocolate dumplings for dessert and was disappointed that it didn’t come with banana pudding as the menu states. Instead it was sprinkled with banana chips that I moved out of the way. Banana chips are not a good substitution for some cool banana pudding with hot dumplings.

    Nice warm comfort food on a cold day. We ordered the apple cinnamon dessert dumplings and the kitchen threw in another dessert dumpling on the house!

    Cultural appropriation done wrong. As a Russian expat I was offended: * By the food. The awful thick sticky clumps of dough with some small unseasoned ground meat inside is NOT A PELMENI (dumplings). I couldn't eat it. * By the interior decor. Some gibberish written in Cyrillic alphabet is not a Russian language. Seriously, we are not in 1970s. * The service though did remind me of the USSR, that part was close.

    This place used to be amazing. But there is an older gentleman that works there that’s extremely rude and hostile. He screamed at my friend and i when we didn’t make a decision fast enough and then insinuated we were drunk. Then he proceeded to mock us in a way a toddler would when confronting their siblings. I’ve never experienced anything like this before and I’m truly gobsmacked by this encounter. I will gladly spend my money at the Mediterranean spot Nextdoor.

    Decent dumplings but could have been better seasoned and came with too much liquid in the sauce so they got soggy.
