Of the 3 excellent dinners we had in Portland, this was hands down my FAVORITE. Overall experience 10*/5. Service from beginning to end was friendly to uber-friendly and knowledgeable. Suggestions were made and we took some of them, but also watched the food go by our table and picked what looked and sounded good. Started with a vodka flight, which was a must! Fun and interesting - not at all medicinal and very sippable with the food. Best dish was the beet saffron caviar - a generous portion with yummy accoutrements. The bilini were to die for. Pickles were also great and the salad (from the dacha) was a nice, fresh accompaniment. Next came the pelmeni and they were PERFECT. Craveable. Still thinking about them and didn't want to share with the hubby. Pork skewer was good, but no match for the other dishes. Dessert was berry shortcake-like and a very good version of itself. Beautiful presentation on all of the dishes. Was not expecting to LOVE this meal so much ... not a cuisine we come across often. But the vibe, decor, service and the FOOD made it a meal to remember. If I could only have one dinner experience in Portland, this would be it. read more

Russian...not Russian...this is an interesting place and offers a unique experience that is not available in many cities in the U.S. The restaurant is nice with bar, single party seating, and community seating. The servers were pleasant and helpful. The food... it was hit or miss a little. There are only 3-4 main dishes, the rabbit was very good, but the cabbage rolls were just average. The potato pancakes served with the rabbit were prepared well, but had no complimentary sauce or flavor. The dumplings were tasty, the smoked fish snack app were good, but the rye bread was just okay. The lavash pocket was good, better with the dipping sauce. Everything is interesting and enjoyable to at least try once. Then you can decide on return trips. read more

In Portland looking for a unique dining experience with great atmosphere? Look no further! Pro tip: the more people in your table likely the better experience you will have since all the food is made to share. Each dish was dish with flavor and literally rich with either cream, cheese, or both. So definitely come hungry and in good spirits. There were definitely feel elements that felt more gimmicky than authentic, but nothing that distracted from the amazing dishes we ate. read more

Kachka - Two cocktails - Russian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Reservations are strongly recommended here, especially if you want to take advantage of their happy hour. We had a 5:15 seating and it only got busier and busier as the evening went on, which was really humming all night. I particularly love the happy hour menu because it lets you try a broader range of dishes at a fraction of the usual price. We decided to skip the mains and just order a bunch of cold and hot zakuskis, though I definitely had my eye on the Golubsti for a future visit. Everything we tried was fantastic and felt like a real journey through post-Soviet cuisine, specifically via Belarus if I'm remembering correctly. The tangy assortment of pickled vegetables was a great start, followed by the ultra-salty (in the best way) and sumptuous caviar on toast. The savoriness of the meat dumplings was a great yin to the yang of the richness and creaminess of the farmer's cheese dumplings, and the cod liver on rye was beautifully balanced by a snowfall of fresh horseradish on top. The standout, though, was the Herring 'Under a Fur Coat', which the menu describes as a Russian 7-layer dip and which was absolutely spectacular, airy, and light in a way I was not expecting when they first set the dish down in front of me. Our server was warm, attentive, and always happy to jump in with recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. The space itself was full of energy, and the shop upstairs is also a fun bonus, with everything from the same dumplings they serve in the restaurant, but frozen, to a wide selection of wines and liquors. Overall a fantastic meal overall and already looking forward to exploring the rest of the menu! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kachka. My husband and I came here while visiting Portland had had a hefty meal. We tried several vodka infusions - birch, cherry, cocao nib, several dumplings, several cold dishes (should out to that amazing cold beat and cream soup my god), and loved it all. Our waiters were all attentive and friendly and seemed to genuinely want us to have a great time. This place seems to share waiters so multiple servers will help you throughout your meal. We loved it SO Much that we actually returned again the next day for their happy hour and tried even more things! The waiters even remembered us and our names! I wish I lived in Portland just so I could come here every week! read more

Service is good, ambiance is better, food is fantastic, vodka amazing, but the experience was misleading. I would order à la carte: "under fur coat", buterbrodi, cholodetz, and assorted pickles for the table And have an entree to share, about on entree per two people to start. They give you the rules of the road on how to have "The Zakuski Experience", but under deliver when you order it. The food was terrific, but totality left a bitter taste, and it was not from the vodka. Table was hardly filled. Server did not tell us the vodka was à la carte. Left an establishment based on a grandparents love of food still hungry. read more

Kachka Mushroom salat: smoky, bright, sour, and earthy. Some bites almost tasted like bacon! Herring: Loved the dill. Not usually a beet fan but it worked well here. We came during valentines and they made it into a heart shape! Borscht: My first time. Very homey and comforting with nostalgic wheat bread. Dumplings: Soo tender with great onion flavor and a slightly sour creamy profile. One of my favorites. Rabbit: Incredibly tender and my first time trying, I'd say pretty similar to chicken. The earthy soup with the potato fritter was amazing. Service was fast and attentive!! read more

We dined here for my fiancé's birthday, and overall had an excellent experience. We showed up 45 minutes early for our reservation and they accommodated us very gracefully. I would say the service feels relaxed and personable, which makes you feel welcome to ask questions. We loved the house infused vodka and the extensive drinks and cocktail list. I personally would have enjoyed more of a selection on hot foods, because that was my preference over the cold dishes, but that seems to be a highlight of the restaurant and was very well done for what it was. It's a lively atmosphere, great for groups and celebrations, maybe not the best choice for an intimate date. The stand-out dishes for me were the dumplings and the caviar. read more

Went here for my friend's birthday. It was my first time having Russian cuisine and it did not disappoint! I'm glad I was able to go with friends that knew what to order and we did family style so we could get a little bit of everything! The food was salty and savory it was all soooo delicious!! The drinks were incredible as well, I had a martini but I forget what one. Such a good low light ambiance I loved everything about this place! Our server was great and knowledgeable. read more

This place knocks every detail out of the park. If you're an adventurous eater, the Ruskie Zakuski experience is for you. I would never eat a Baltic sprat by itself but the chefs here know what they're doing and I'll eat one on top of some crispy yet chewy rye toast with herbs and pickled onions. We had a wonderful experience and can't wait to eat here again! read more

Not my typical go-to cuisine but when I'm in the mood for a savory/pickle-y meal this is exactly what I'm looking for! The server made us feel like we were in his Eastern European grandmother's house for dinner (in the most comfortable and welcoming way). The cocktails were excellent, especially if you can catch part of happy hour! The signature horseradish martini was unique, flavorful, and fun. The moscow mule was super gingery and tasty! From the food menu, the biggest standouts to me were the trout roe dip, kholodnik soup, and the hanger steak shashlik. The full experience of getting various plates to share along with your vodka (or vodka based cocktails) is very fun. Highly recommend checking it out if you're a fellow salty savory pickley fishy flavor lover. read more

Kachka is phenomenal. 1) The Rabbit in a Clay Pot is a top dish in Portland. The pelmeni are out of this world (the fancy broth is a must). Maybe most importantly, they have the kindest staff in Portland. Our waitress was so fun, the food runners were informative, and the hosts were great. Everyone has a professional, relaxed air about them that puts one at ease. So at ease in fact, I took no pictures of the amazing food and gorgeous decor. There are two mobiles of nesting dolls and fluttering postcards; we ate in a "gallery room". The drinks are great. I loved the Pine Cola or Baikal (). It's like if Coke walked into a forest and got lost, but made a life for itself. I want to make a home at a table at Kachka for the rest of forever! Thanks, Kachka Team! read more

The server was excellent and really helped my wife who is allergic to milk. She guided us through the menu to make a selection that worked out. The food was excellent. I almost skipped the herring under a fur coat since... you know. Herring. Boy am I glad I didn't. It was excellent. I will get that again and the other small plates with cheese, or meat, or horseradish were also quite good and fun. The decor is great with a huge chicken-legged-house motif / baba yaga theme along with Soviet. There is a huge vodka menu, but I didn't partake. read more

First time eating Russian/Ukrainian food, and it was delicious!! Everything was seasoned well with various textures. Before going, I knew I wanted to try Herring Under a Fur Coat and the Rabbit in a Clay Pot, but I didn't realize dinner and lunch menus were different, so we were only able to try one of them. Herring Under a Fur Coat had these beautiful layers of raw fish, beets, potato, and egg. Our favorite of the meal! Baltic sprat buterbrodi were small finger sandwiches that had a good bite and mix of flavors. The Siberian pelmeni had the most familiar flavors as it reminded me of little Chinese dumplings but with a nice creamy sauce on top. Definitely coming back for dinner to try the other items! We parked on the street (1 hour parking) and were in and out of the restaurant in less than 30 min. The food came out very quickly! read more

We have been here a handful of times and the food is good. They do have lots of options for alcohol. We have tried many of the vodkas and beers as well as wine. Those were always solid. This is a fun place to take family or friends that are not familiar with this type of food. Service is usually subpar if you ask me. Staff are not very attentive at times and sometimes makes you feel like you are rushed or bothering them. That's been my experience every time. I have also read recently that the staff may also be having a hard time with leadership. I think this might have been during the Covid times, but some of the things I read about the staff culture did not make me feel very good about wanting to go back to be brutally honest. You can check that out on your own. I'm not saying don't go, but everyone can conform their own opinion. read more

From the stellar service to all the yummy food we ordered, Katchka was a delightful culinary experience. A must try!!

Finally returned to Kachka after my first visit several years ago and it was just as good as ever. The Heirloom Tomato Salat was uber-fresh and delightful, especially on the glorious summer day we enjoyed that day. Dumplings are a must so this time I went all in on the meat dumplings, Siberian Polmeni? They were scrumptious and did not last long. My server suggested I mix up the flavors and get a mix of the cheese (Tuorog Vareniki?) and meat dumplings but I declined. After the fact I realized that I probably would have enjoyed the mix of flavors even more. Note to self. For entrees, I just had to have the Rabbit In a Clay Pot again. That was terrific also. I wrapped up a delightful evening with the Berries and Smetana desert that was super tasty. Not too big. Not too sweet. The space is very cozy and unique. Lots to look at. Very enjoyable to spend an evening in. Service was spectacular. Kachka remain one of my most favorite places in Portland! read more

Kachka was my very first experience eating Russian food and it did not disappoint! Their menu is served family style (not required), but it was nice to collectively order and try dishes with my group. They also offer a variety of infused vodkas, some as simple as strawberry and some as complex as horseradish. My favorite items were the Siberian Pelmeni dumplings and Rabbit in a Claypot. The decor was nice and the "babushka" like table cloths added a homey touch. Very happy to have had the opportunity to try Kachka while visiting Portland! read more

I absolutely love this place. Kachka has such a lively fun atmosphere that it immediately puts you in a great mood the moment you walk in. I have been a few times now and each visit has been consistently excellent. I have often sat at the bar which I highly recommend. The interaction with the bartenders is fantastic and they are knowledgeable engaging and genuinely excited to talk about the menu and drinks. I usually stick with their vodka which is extensive and incredibly well curated. It is such a big part of the experience and pairs perfectly with the food. The zakuski are a must and I especially love the caviar and roe selections as well as Under a Fur Coat which is both comforting and surprisingly refined. Everything feels thoughtful without ever feeling heavy or overly serious. The menu is full of dishes that beg to be shared so coming with a few others is the best way to experience it. That way you can try as much as possible and explore the range of flavors they offer. Everything I have had here has been delicious and well executed. Kachka is one of those places that manages to be fun flavorful and memorable all at once. It is a restaurant I recommend often and one I look forward to returning to every time I am back in Portland. read more

Wonderful foodie experience, and probably the top highlight of my Portland trip. Some background: I love food. I like to travel for food. When I travel, I want to the unique stuff, I don't want something I can just get at home. The Bay Area is my home, and I consider myself spoiled with all different cuisines to choose from. I don't care about ambience as long as my taste buds are happy. I have not had a lot of Russian food. Well at Kachka you get both a wonderful atmosphere and unique flavors! Wonderful ambience, wonderful vibes, great food, fantastic service. And a cute store upstairs where you can purchase merchandise like shot glasses, Kachka cook book, cans of sardines, other preserved foods, and of course their coveted horseradish vodka. Omg that horseradish vodka! I was pretty close to buying a bottle, but I didn't want to check in my bag for my flight...but I was close to paying that fee. Reservations definitely recommended. We somehow spent a good 3 hours at the restaurant. We went with the tasting menu, where everyone at the table has to participate. Everything was presented beautifully and tasted great. I believe we ordered two extra plates. Sadly it's been a few months so I can't remember the details but I remember everything tasted good, and we were so full at the end. We also tried ~5 flavors of their vodka. As I mentioned before, the horseradish vodka is amazing (it doesn't have that weird nasal feeling but you get the savory flavor). I think my second favorite would be strawberry and then earl grey. There was a slight hiccup-I found a piece of plastic in my food but the manager was extremely apologetic and took this incident very seriously. Despite the hiccup our experience was still wonderful and remained a highlight of my Portland trip! read more

Literally flew to Portland just to have this meal with friends. Started with the pickle assortment, the stand out was the green tomato pickle with it's bright crunch. Next was the fried zucchini oladi, probably my favorite dish of the evening, light and crispy with a touch of sweetness from the corn. The short rib borscht was divine, personally would have loved bigger chunks of the beef in the broth. Then the dumplings came out: we ordered the Siberian pelmeni and the red pepper special for the evening. The slightly spicy, tomatoey sauce was perfect with the dumplings, it should definitely become a regular item on the menu. The cabbage rolls were hearty, and the shila plavi was creamy and comforting but the gremolata was vaguely fishy on my palate for some reason. Service was prompt and friendly, and the decor is super cute. Amazing meal! read more

What's to say? This place ROCKS. Food: Exceptionally creative unique and satisfying whether the standard offerings or special scrambles.

They offer self-serve coffee and mug selection. This is not my favorite so I get the Sheds on Fire (thanks barissta!). read more

SO glad we returned here to confirm Kachka never misses. Such a cool space with unique things to try. We had our favorites, but everything was excellent, so you really can't go wrong. We ordered: - beet salad -- one of our top dishes; something about the tahini sauce combined with the beets and toasted nuts just really hits - pickled things! Just nice to have as a side throughout the meal. - fish board -- if you like fishy things, you can't go wrong picking a couple that sound good. The bread/crackers the provide along with a schmear of butter are such a treat. - ***Siberian pelmeni*** -- the stars are for how blown away I was by this dish. I could eat this every day for the rest of my life. I could have eaten four more bowls of this. Something about that sour cream sauce, the bite of the dumplings dough, and the savory meat filling. SO GOOD. - Golubsti -- I really enjoyed the depth of flavor in the sauce here, sweeter than I'm used to with Polish golabki. - teas and treats -- this was a nice close to the meal, and felt authentic. Only criticism was that service was slow and a little consuming at times (different people dropping by for various things so we didn't know who our main server was), but it was busy and they had a large party in the back room. I appreciate their transparency about the service fee and their approach to compensating their employees well without significantly raising prices. It's good to see that it IS possible if leadership/owners are willing. LOVE Kachka, would absolutely return again if I found myself in Portland, if only for those life-altering little dumplings. read more

Gorgeous interior and gorgeous aesthetic! My partner is Slavic so of course we had to stop in for this Russian dining. We couldn't make it for dinner so we settled for lunch. It was order at the counter for lunch service and had more limited options. We easily got a table on Monday afternoon and was greeted by a sweet server who was working the bar. She explained how everything worked and we got to ordering. We ordered the Siberian Pelmeni, Herring Under a Fur Coat, and the Borsch! Now I was pretty familiar with everything but the Herring toasts, and I will say that was the standout for me! It was perfectly savory with a touch of pickle from the herring and dill egg. The Pelmeni was pretty good, but pelmeni is just one of those things that taste pretty similar across the board in my experience. The borsch was fine, and the bread that came with was okay. For drinks, We got the Moscow Mule and Horseradish Vodka. The Mule at first had the strongest taste of ginger I've ever had in a mule. I liked ginger so I didn't mind, plus it went away after a while. The Horseradish infused vodka had such a strong horseradish taste, but that what you would expect. Overall a cute spot with decent food. I definitely want to make it over for dinner one night! read more

Went with a larger group of friends and the staff were so accommodating. The overall feel of the restaurant was very cozy and nostalgic. To start off we got tuorog vaseriki and siberian pelmere which are the savory dumplings. Overall, we liked the tuorog vaseriki ones the best, although they were both good. From the mains the chicken shashlik was well seasoned and cooked well. I think it was my favorite part of the meal, although it was a bit salty, but still good. The golubtsi was very comforting with the tomato and cabbage combo. As for the berries and smetana the berries balanced out the sweet of the whipped smetana and the cake. As for the drink I got the chaikhana which was quite nice. I enjoyed as the alcohol taste wasn't too strong and I enjoy the more citrusy drinks. Overall, a great dinner spot to go out with friends ( the more the better so you can try different things). read more

Having Soviet Russian roots myself, I decided to try this place. I loved the Soviet kitschy decor and the overall theme of the place. I first saw this restaurant featured on a Netflix show and loved the story of the restaurant's name which relates to a survival story of the owner's grandmother during WWII. We came for lunch; the restaurant was only open for counter serve but that wasn't a problem at all! Sadly, the lunch menu wasn't as appealing to me as some of the dinner options. My mom tried the "hearing in fur coat" which is basically a 7 layer dip of Soviet ingredients on top of pickled herring; according to my mom, she makes it better! I tried a perojok with potatoes in dill which is a baked dough pocket. The dough was a bit off, more of a bread dough and not a traditional yeast-y dough I am familiar with for a delicious perojok. Overall, a cute spot, provided me and my mom with some fond memories and nostalgia of Soviet life, but the food was probably a B-. read more

Tbh, I had high hopes for this place due to its popularity but it was okay for me. When we got here during lunchtime, it was already full so we were seated upstairs at the bar stools which felt nicer and more private which we liked so much. The young lady at the counter was really nice. Loved their service. I've tried their borscht, piroshki and the herring salad. Borscht was lacking some authentic flavor. For piroshki, I was expecting fried one but they brought baked one. It was freshly baked, the dough was delicious! Herring salad was not my thing so I don't want to rate it. Overall it was a good experience but I don't think I would be back. read more

Who knew food of the former Soviet Republics could be so eclectic and delish at the same time? Not only that but to be found in the Rose City of Portland? Kachka, located in the Eastside area of the city, is the genesis of Bonnie and Israel Morales. Bonnie was inspired by her heritage as a first-generation daughter of Jewish immigrants from Belarus. Like any good restaurant that has ideals in the traditions of Eastern European culture, dinner is turned into an event, thanks to a multitude of cultural dishes marked by vibrant flavors that stay true to their homeland with dishes such as dumplings, cured fish, and pickled vegetables. Kachka's success since opening as a restaurant over a decade ago has now birthed a marketplace on their second floor that sells packaged versions of their signature dumplings; their own flavored vodka line sold at various locations throughout the state of Oregon; and even their own upcoming clothing line. What brought me here on a recent trip to the Rose City was the fact that Kachka was one the top trending places on my Yelp app for Happy Hour in Portland. When I took a look at what was being offered from the variety of their dishes to their cocktails with their signature liqueur, I was on board to venture out east. From taking the local bus to a short walk down Southeast 11th Avenue arriving was simple, and getting a table despite having no reservation even for Happy Hour was easily achievable. The menu at Kachka is separated into categories including Cold Zakuski, which means snacks in Russian, Hot Zakuski, Pickles & Things, Mains, Cocktails, Wine, Bottles, Flights, Infusions, Vodka, Brandy, Zero Proof and Beer. Of course, I came for Happy Hour and with two cocktails to select from on this menu, I ordered their Moscow Mule, which featured lime vodka, lime, house ginger syrup and fever tree ginger beer. Served in a glass rather than a copper mug made for a refreshing treat to sip on as I waited for my food order. They had a number of options on their Happy Hour food menu, with pickled items to their famous cabbage rolls, it provided a nice variety of options that one may find while visiting the old-country. I asked my server Derek what the Sprat Snack was and it was a combination of tiny hot smoked fish, parsley mayo, light rye bread, and pickled vegetables. It was the perfect starter with a combination of salty and savoriness that with a sip of a strong cocktail, of which my Moscow Mule was one of them, it was a nice meal to enjoy. Of course, I couldn't come to Kachka without trying their signature dumplings, and their Siberian Pelmeni which were dumplings filled with beef, pork, veal and onion. These dumplings, which are smaller than the ones that I traditionally am used to eating, were topped with chives and a dollop of sour cream. Perfect with every morsel, I should have asked for more sour cream as it enlivened every bite that I enjoyed. My total bill was 26 dollars and at Kachka they charge an automatic service fee of 22 percent to represent a fair wage for their employees. A return visit to Kachka is a foregone conclusion as they provide uniquely quaint food that represents traditional cuisine that you can't find in very many places. From fish boards to breadboards to cabbage rolls to dumplings Kachka features an atmosphere that invites you to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. read more

Kachka, how did it take me so long to finally try you out?! It was even better than I expected. From the first bite to the last, it was delicious and sometimes surprising. I'm not a big canned fish person, but the mix of flavors and textures keep things light, refreshing, and satisfying! For our table of 8, we ordered doubles of everything, and had a large smattering of appetizers: - *smoked beet salat : so good and balanced! - all four of the dumplings : my favs were the *meat one and the *cheese one - *herring "under a fur coat" : such a beautiful + yummy dish, we split a plate between 4 of us - baltic sprat buterbrodi (4pc), tasty with fresh herbs Main: -Rabbit in a clay pot : very comforting with a sumptuous gravy that invites dipping, the star for me was the 4 cheese potato fritters/pancakes that accompanied it - I'd eat these all day! - *Machanka : smoked brisket and kielbasa in a rich gravy My favorites have asterisks by the names. And the restaurant itself has a very welcoming air with lots of eclectic decor. read more
