    At Levi's Plaza
    Joan W.

    The Borscht Mobile was at Outside Lands this year which I ate at often since it was the only food that wasn't outrageously overpriced. I really like borscht, it's a good filling meal that is healthy. I usually just stick to that here, but they do have a few other offerings like dumplings, pirozhki, and a burrito with buckwheat and potatoes. I didn't like the burrito so much though the aioli was good. I've had buckwheat before and thought it was decent, but I didn't like the taste in a burrito. I think some people might enjoy it if they are into fusion food and it seems healthier. They used to be at Spark Social a lot in Mission Bay before Covid but now it looks like they are mainly at the new park at the Presidio as well as Levi's Plaza.

    The Ukrainian food at Borsch was delicious. The chicken dumplings with onions and bacon was yummy. I will discover more of the menu at Borsch in the near future.

    I had heard about this food truck for awhile now and was very excited to try. We were unfortunately left very disappointed. They were at Tunnel Tops Park in SF along with several other food trucks. We ordered: 1) Chicken dumplings which came topped with sour cream & green onions. (This came in a small portion size for $13 which was probably more like appetizer sized than a meal. It also was slightly mushy and not very flavorful. Trader Joe use to sell a frozen pelmeni entree which tasted just as good at half the price and double the portion size. Hmm..) 2) - Pirozhki Baked buns (potato & mushroom filling) (The filling was predominantly potato and it was very dry. Some sauce might have helped or even more mushrooms.) 3) Beef brisket sandwich (This looked good, but unfortunately, the beef brisket was not seasoned so it was flavorless and the meat was also dry. Luckily, there was slaw included or the entire sandwich would have been very dry.) Disappointed that this did not live up to the hype.

    Situation - Lunch - I ordered the Pork Sandwich Pros - The sandwich was decent, not all that great - They provided a small piece of chocolate, such was good - Good portion size Cons / Overall - The food was okay - It maybe worth another try

    It was my first time trying borsch! I had no idea it was going to be SO pink!!! It was pretty yummy. Not something I would get often but definitely nice to try. Don't wear anything white while trying to eat it lol. Flavor wise- Not as sweet as I thought it was going to be. With the sour cream it became a sweet savory type of soup and I quite liked it. I also got chicken pellmini dumplings and it came with mushrooms, bacon, green onions, all on top of the white sauce. It was pretty good! Like pasta but the dumplings were more filling. I also got a mushroom piroshky and it was yummy. The owner was really nice and gave me a russian candy with my order. It was like a chocolate wafer thing. Also very yummy! :))) I really enjoyed the food from this food truck. And it was really nice to see this Russian food in the mix for some of the recent Off the Grid events in Foster city. They also have a really nice eye catching design on their truck.

    Tarragon soda. I got it for the color.

    I'm always willing to try food from anywhere, especially one of the old countries, but I just felt this truck was okay. I was the Foodeaze truck court on second and while I had heard Borsch Mobile, I had never tried it. I like Pelmeni, so figured I'd give it a shot over some of my regulars. What probably caught my eye the most was the neon green tarragon soda. I mean, for curiosities sake, you have to give it a shot. It was okay, definitely tasted like carbonated tarragon. I did enjoy pulling out the Google Translate on the bottle. As for the Pelmeni, I fear they put way too much sour cream on it. The dumplings were good, but next time I'd ask for the sour cream on the side. The potatoes were fine, they're potatoes. Same with the cabbage slaw. Yeah, nothing really blew me away. Not saying I wouldn't give this truck another try, but would try something different, and do definitely recommend giving it a try. It is different, nice people. Maybe Korean burritos and Hawaiian plates have spoiled me.

    Eastern European food is a bit underrepresented in San Francisco, definitely so in the food truck community. With popular trend of making every fusion permutation possible with a taco or burrito, it's nice to see some classics being served. Overall, pretty hearty food for the portion size. Borsch: Had to try the eponymous dish. It was perfect for a chilly (by San Francisco standards) lunch outside. It was a tad chunkier than borsch I'm used to, but I liked it. The veggies were mostly matchstick sized, so it wasn't overwhelming. Only gripe was that they were skimpy on the sour cream. Siberian Pelmeni: I'm more of a pierogi guy, but the pelmeni is growing on me. It's got the meaty density of a Chinese dumpling, but with spices that are distinctly Eastern European. That would be dill and a whole lot of sour cream. Very rich, also another great lunch option on a chilly-ish day. Mixed Berries Mors: Not quite fruit juice. More like chilled fruit broth or tea. The boiling of fruit and sugar infuses a very deep taste, that isn't found just mixing juice, water and sugar together cold.

    Mediocre Eastern European food. We tried the stuffed bell pepper combination plate ($13) and chose the salad and sour cabbage as our 2 sides. The sides were decent, but the stuffed pepper was just layers of nondescript mush. My boyfriend's mom makes these amazing stuffed peppers so these paled in comparison and we did not finish all of it. Came with a free piece chocolate with little bears! Tastes like a Kit Kat!

    Russian restaurants are quite rare, but a Russian Food Truck? That's an anomaly. This is probably the most refreshing food truck experience I've had in a while. You know what to expect on the menu for most food trucks, gimmicky fusion cuisine with your choice of meat on top of fries, rice, or wrapped in a tortilla. We've seen it all before. Borsch has no gimmicks of that sort. Just delicious food that won't weigh you down and make you regret having it on a workday. I had the Beef Tongue Sandwich with roasted potatoes and a salad on the side. Fresh ciabatta, holding beef tongue that proves again why it's probably the best cut to put in a sandwich. The potatoes are done the right way beside a salad that's not just dressed up lettuce. A piece of chocolate given to you as a token of their generosity. How could you not want to come back again?

    When I saw a Russian food truck near me, I just had to check it out. I'm exceedingly glad that I did. I ordered the beef stroganoff, which comes with Russian-style slaw and sliced pickles. Served over buckwheat, the stroganoff was excellent: great flavor and texture, and a perfect portion for me. The buckwheat was a nice change from noodles and added to the aforementioned texture without weighing the already hearty dish down. The slaw and the pickles each provided a nice palate-cleansing counterpoint between bites. The slaw was made of crunchy cabbage accentuated with some carrots, tossed in a light dressing with a hint of black pepper. Whereas some slaw can be overwhelmed with vinegar, this was subtle and begged to be tasted again. The pickles were fantastic: sour, but not too sour, and almost spicy, yet not. They packed a solid punch and were everything I have ever wanted a dill pickle to be. The Russian candy was a nice touch, as well. I can't wait until they are near me again and I can try more of their cooking.

    I think about 3 of these stars are just for being Eastern European food honestly, you don't see that a lot. The pelmeni was great! The sour cream coating made it perfect and it was nice to have the sides. The borsch was alright, but i think maybe it's just not my taste. I agree with another reviewer that they really could give you more sour cream for it. Service was quick and friendly. Note: their menu was different than the one online. Was looking forward to the salo mini sandwiches but no joy.

    Great no frills Eastern European comfort food. Came here for lunch with my husband. It's located in…read moreBelden Pl, an alleyway on Bush St. in FiDi. We ordered the borscht which comes in two sizes. The borscht came out out warm and hot. It was very delicious and nutritious. Rye bread is included with the soup. We also had the beef Gouda dumplings and lamp dumplings. The dumplings are pelmeni which are a little smaller than the traditional vareniki however the filling is very strong and delicious. The condiments to go along with the food were located near their dumpling freezer. Last item was the beef handpie. Pretty good ! But wished it had more filling. Very good with some sour cream. Service is quick. Ordered at the front and picked up order when called. This is a no frills place so it's a quick grab n go lunch or sit down at the restaurant if you please. Would come back !

For this trip we tried the Borsh and the Salmon & Beef/Gouda dumplings. I'll start with the dumplings; super flavorful! The Beef/Gouda was fantastic with the sour cream versus the Garlic sauce and I'd have to say this one was my favorite out of the food we got. 5/5 The salmon one was good, coconut charcoal is what the black color is from, but you can't expect a coconut flavor just because you see the word on there. This one was also very good; I preferred this one with the garlic sauce instead. 4/5* The Borsh unfortunately for me was good, but it came out luke warm at best, not sure how you can serve hot soup, but it was still flavorful and good despite being cold. Make sure to add sour cream to your soup! 3/5* Overall, this place is very good! If they had more accessible hours we'd come on the weekends. It's also downtown and parking on the meters around the restaurant is $4.25/hour for those whom are curious.

The food wasn't bad, although the portions were quite small. However, that wasn't nearly as disappointing as the service. At first, we were served by a man who looked to be around 40 years old. He was very unpleasant. It felt like we owed him something. He didn't even want to come close to our table, and every time we asked a question, he answered as if he wasn't happy to have customers there. To be honest, we were really excited to visit because we had been missing our traditional cuisine so much. But after just five minutes with this waiter, I decided I would never come back. We asked several times for the dumplings without herbs, but they arrived covered with herbs anyway. Mistakes happen--we understand that. The problem was that he didn't apologize or say anything at all. He simply took the dish away. Later, a young waitress brought us the correct order. She seemed a little friendlier, but only for the first few minutes. After everything that happened, we had lost our appetite. We ate what we could, and when the bill arrived, we said we would be paying by card. The waitress replied with an annoyed attitude, "Well then, come with me." During the entire hour we spent there, not a single staff member smiled at us even once. That may seem like a small thing, but for customers it makes a huge difference. Replace these two waiters, and your restaurant will truly shine.

At that time, the bill was handwritten for me to check, and then I put down the credit card, a staff came with a POS machine. I clicked 15%, signed, and saw the total charge went to $43.xx, so I checked the handwritern bill again and realized the staff made a mistake (the total of the pre-tax food items should be $33 and but she wrote $35). I pointed it out, the staff apologized, and gave me $2 cash. So far everything should be fine, an honest mistake and the staff was very nice about it. However, this does not explain why my credicard was eventually charged $45 instead of the $43 I signed for. Were there uncommon charges in San Francisco, and is it allowed that the resterant owner to not inform customer about it & not showed them in the final amount (after tax and tip) on the bill?

Overall, the food & service were good but it was a bit pricey for schnitzels.

There is a small outdoor sidewalk seating area for dining in. Dogs are welcome. You place your order at the counter and someone will bring your food to your table. There is no parking lot for the restaurant. There is only street parking. The restaurant is fairly close to Golden Gate Park (walking distance).

After my friend made their sausage purchase, I went up to the same clerk from the day before and thanked him for picking out great sausages the day prior. He did not acknowledge my words, and told me "your friends are too loud." I did not fully comprehend his words, and he told me again "your friends are too loud."
