    Fried and Boiled Pierogis (cheese & Potatoes)
    Cindy C.

    AMBIANCE Came here for the first time with a friend. The waitress allowed us to choose our settings since there were 4? 5? filled. The tables was pretty organized, not too crowded. They decor was nice, festive and comfortable. SERVICE The service was not bad at all. it seems our waitress was the only waitress on the floor, but she was sweet and attentive. She seems really happy when she was telling us the Special Menu of the day. Gives off a pretty good vibe. Thats a good way to start the meal. FOOD We orders a few things to tried, everything was pretty good, and flavourful. Prices is reasonably. Definitely will go back to try more and be reordering the potatoes pancakes, and peiroges. Tried: - Fried & Boiled Pierogis- Cheese & Potatoes - Potatoes Pancakes - Stuffed Pork Cabbages w hot Sauerkraut and creamy Spinach

    I wish we found out about this hidden gem sooner! This place sells superb & authentic polish foods! We ordered many things to share: 1) Ukrainian borscht, 2) white borscht, 3) potato pancake, 4) fried pierogies (combination), 5) polish platter, 6) breaded chicken cutlet w/ 2 sides (hot sauerkraut, mashed potatoes), 7) 2 draft beers. Ukrainian borscht (w/ cabbage + beans) - SUPERB! One of the best vegetable borscht I have eaten so far. It was so delicious, and so flavorful (savory, sweet, tart, etc). We loved it so much, we got 2 large orders of it to take home. White borscht (served w/ sausage & boiled egg) - I have never had a soup like this. It was also very delicious & flavorful (savory & some tart). It was a very unique soup. Potato pancakes - WOW! It was also super delicious, crispy on the outside & soft and tender on the inside. The sour cream complemented the potato pancakes very well. I also would reorder this! Combination pierogies (cheese+potato, meat, sauerkraut w/ mushroom) - you can choose between boiled & fried. We chose fried & I think boiled tasted better. Out of the 3 different pierogies we tried, the best was the cheese & potatoes! The sour cream complemented the pierogies well. Polish platter (3 pierogies, 1 stuffed cabbage, kielbasa, sauerkraut) - The boiled pierogies were delicious. The stuffed cabbage was good but not my most favorite. The kielbasa was delicious! hot saukerkrat also very delicious! Breaded chicken cutlet w/ 2 sides (mashed potato, hot sauerkraut) - The breaded chicken cutlet was very delicious & when mixed w/ the mashed potatoes + hot sauerkraut, it was even more amazing and flavorful! That hot sauerkraut was sooo delicious, I would reorder that as a side next time! Draft beers (pale ale & the other was their most popular one) - both the draft beers were very delicious and refreshing and cold. The pale ale one was more potent and better tasting. My draft beer was lighter w/ a bit of fruitiness. Waitress was super friendly & attentive. Great customer service. Tons of indoor seating & it was very comfy inside. Love the homely decor also. Highly highly recommended! We will be coming back again! We were so stuffed, but we will be trying their Hungarian potato w/ beef goulash next time!

    Cheese and Potato Pierogi

    The restaurant is decorated for Christmas. All the ornaments and wreaths are beautiful. There is a small bar in the restaurant if you like to sit at the bar. Service was excellent. There was only one service but she told care of things. This is our first time at the restaurant, so she gave us recommendations. We started with cheese and potato pierogi and potato pancake. You have the option to choose fried or boiled pierogi. We didn't know which to choose so she said we could try both. The pierogi was delicious. It's interesting to try both styles of cooking. The potato pancake has tons of flavors and super crispy. I will definitely return to the restaurant and order these dishes again. We got the fillet bass and stuffed cabbage. Both entrees were well seasoned.

    Chris Restaurant: A Hidden Gem of Polish & American Cuisine Nestled in the heart of Brooklyn at 1866 86th Street, Chris Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Polish and American cuisine. This long-standing culinary landmark has perfected the art of blending tradition with exceptional flavor, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. From the moment you walk in, the inviting aroma of homemade pierogies and sizzling kielbasa fills the air, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The pierogies--handcrafted and generously stuffed--are a standout, each bite a perfect balance of soft dough and flavorful fillings. The kielbasa, bursting with smoky, savory spices, is an instant reminder of old-world European charm. Another must-try dish is the stuffed cabbage, a hearty and comforting classic that beautifully bridges Polish tradition with American culinary influences. The flavors are rich, the texture is perfect, and each bite transports you to a home-cooked meal made with love. Beyond the food, the service is warm and attentive, making every visit feel like a return to family. Whether you're a long-time lover of Polish cuisine or a first-time explorer, Chris Restaurant delivers an authentic and delicious experience that keeps guests coming back. If you're in Brooklyn and searching for a spot that serves up history, heart, and exceptional food--this is it! Mark Fusco, Esq.

    The food was very good typical Polish food nice atmosphere very reasonable prices drinks were good. I would go back there again.

    Salmon tartare - would pass on this, quite fishy

    Cozy Polish restaurant with bar. We tried many of the dishes and the majority were good enough. Service can be slow when it's busy and the restaurant was a bit stuffy from the rain. Lot patrons were enjoying alcoholic beverages with a few dishes to snack on. Very decent price and portions. I liked the lemon-y iced water. Note there is a small cash discount (~3%) and service charge was included (15%) on our bill. Will Get Again: 1) Beef tartare (4.5/5) - great portion and good quality, perfect on their toasted butter bread 2) Fried pierogis (4.5/5) - chewy crispy outside, warm potatoe-y inside, we also got the mushroom sauce on the side, and some complimentary sour cream 3) Raspberry lemonade (4/5) - raspberry flavor, not too much lemon/tartness 4) Draft beer (5/5) Okay but won't get again: 1) Ribeye steak (2.5/5) - average steak with veges on the side, I rather get something else for the price, corn on side is inedible 2) Ukrainian Borscht (3/5) - acceptable, enjoyable, good portion, tart 3) Beef goulash (2.5/5) - not my favorite flavoring, beef is mostly tender, mash is a bit dry Don't recommend: 1) Salmon tartare (0/5) - a bit fishy, avocado on top is fresh tl;dr get the beef tartare appetizer, lots of pierogis (boiled or fried), alcoholic beverages, raspberry lemonade, homey seating fair prices, slow but good service, slight cash discount (3%?), service charge (15%) included in bill

    Polish Platter

    This is a hidden gem in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. Let me start off by saying that my wife and sister in law found this restaurant a few years back. My wife and I always go back once or twice a year. (never disappointed) Our Polish friend offered to take us to dinner the other night. Well to begin with, the owners renovated the inside of the restaurant, which looks great. We ordered a house salad for 3, portabella mushrooms, cheese, and mixed greens. My only concern was the honey mustard dressing. It Was Amazing..... We then ordered our main courses my wife ordered the vegetarian platter, and I ordered the Polish platter, see below. Everything was excellent, and by the way, they served pumpernickel bread, and I would highly recommend it. This is a great restaurant in Brooklyn, that I would not think twice of going their.

    Chris Chopped Steak
    Asiye E.

    We were totaly wrong in giving a chance this place .Rib eye steak which is extremely thin like a paper taste was so bad.Chris chopped steak is extra salty I didnt eat because of it was raw .We gave feedback about food..Server answered us directly I cannot remove from the bill our owner is not here.Actually we didnt want to her removed that food even we just took one bite .We told her no worries we are not expecting anything itis not your fault just give feedback to your chef.End of the meal our checked over priced .When we checked our bill we realized that she charged us battle fee:) after that we asked what was it that ?Her answer is sorry ,it is mistake when the customers bringing their drinks we charged it (bottle fee)If she were bussy I could understand but we are the only table there.It is unacceptable!!After this bad experience every time I am gonna check my bill!!! I dont understand the servers who try to defraud people.I will never understand.I don't understand the business owners who make such people work either.Ambiance is not important after this bad experience.

From the moment we stepped through the doors, it was clear that Ren is leagues above any other restaurant we've visited. Calling Ren a restaurant feels almost like an understatement; it's a culinary journey. The menu is a testament to culinary artistry - each dish, from the appetizers through to the desserts, was a masterpiece. The flavors and textures were unique and memorable, with each bite cooked to absolute perfection. The service at Ren deserves its own accolade - it's a five-star experience in its own right. The waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive, enriching our evening with detailed descriptions of each dish. They didn't just serve food; they presented a story on a plate, explaining the intricate details of the ingredients, preparation, and the symphony of flavors to expect. The ambiance of Ren added to the magic of the evening. The decor was tasteful, the furniture and seating comfortable, creating an environment that was both elegant and inviting. It's clear that attention to detail is a priority here, and it shows in every aspect of the restaurant. In conclusion, dining at Ren isn't just a meal; it's an immersive experience that tantalizes all the senses. While it may not be the most budget-friendly option, what you receive is far more than just food - it's an evening of unforgettable culinary exploration. I wholeheartedly recommend Ren Restaurant for anyone looking to elevate their dining experience to extraordinary heights.

We had stir-fried snails, jellyfish, Dungeness crab, live steamed fish, braised eggplant with fish fillet, stir-fried cauliflower with preserved meats, coral shrimp, sliced conch with crispy tofu, beef with string beans, seasonal vegetables, and fish maw soup. Everything came out hot, delicious, and well seasoned. The Dungeness crab was a standout, and it was refreshing to enjoy such a wide variety of seafood and traditional dishes. My wife was pleasantly surprised by the entire meal. The interior was nicely done and felt different from many other Chinese restaurants in Brooklyn. Service was attentive, and they seated us in a corner where we could enjoy our family conversation without constant interruption. The food came out very quickly, maybe a little too quickly, but we were fine with it. They were unfortunately out of a few fish and clam options, as well as several wines, but it did not take away from a great dinner.

My favorite was their chicken, eggplant and salted fish claypot dish. It's one of my favorite dishes in general and they made it very well. Definitely will come here more often and will rec my family to try this place out for our next family event.

I have walked past it many times and always assumed it was closed. Turns out they only serve dinner, which explains a lot. The dining room is small with just a handful of tables, so it is probably best to come early or make a reservation. The tight space and rustic interior give it a lot of charm. It almost feels like stepping into a place that has not changed in decades, which really adds to that old school Italian vibe. The service was incredible. The waiter, who might also be the owner, was so friendly and welcoming. He made the whole experience feel personal, like you were being hosted in someone's home rather than just eating at a restaurant. Since it was my birthday, we went a little overboard with the ordering. I had to pace myself because I honestly wanted to devour everything that came to the table. The portions are generous and every dish we tried was great. The mozzarella in carozza was easily one of the most indulgent things I have ever eaten. It was rich, crispy, cheesy, and completely over the top in the best way. I thought that would be the highlight until the stuffed artichoke arrived. The stuffing was incredible and packed with flavor. I only wish the artichoke itself had a bit more flesh, but I would still order it again without hesitation! The entrees were just as satisfying. The chicken parm was excellent, but by that point we had already gone too hard on the appetizers, so most of the mains ended up coming home with us. Even though we were all stuffed, I made sure to save room for dessert. The ricotta cheesecake was absolutely worth it! It had subtle hints of lemon and the texture was light and creamy. I will probably be thinking about that cheesecake for a while. Overall, Ortobello checked every box. The atmosphere, the food, and the hospitality were all fantastic. I will definitely be back!!!
