Ever find a place to be...lacking hospitality to new faces in a restaurant?…read more Let's talk about the service first. We came on a Friday night and there were 2-3 other tables. Our server did not give us a breakdown of any dish, or even the categories on the menu (which by the way, are in Russian). They kinda expected us to "know" everything on the menu. My wife and I ended up googling EVERYTHING, and deciding on what to eat after reading other yelp reviews and what the dishes looked like. After taking a good 10mins of googling and figuring out what to order, we had to raise our hand several times, to a point where we had to call our waiter over vocally and with a hand wave to take our order. The restaurant really isn't big with only 2 other tables being occupied, and I guess locals do come here often and chat with the servers, but we're talking a good extra 5min of not looking at a menu and just waiting. People are raving about the service but I personally just didn't experience the same kind of hospitality. We ordered a borsch, a beef stroganoff, and a viennese schnitzel. I wouldn't say the food came out slow, but it was at the pace of a homecooked meal. The borsh tasted a lot better than ones I've had, and the sour cream was very creamy and fresh. The beef stroganoff was the star of the show with how flavorful and creamy it was. The beef was very tender, and the kasha was especially good. It's definitely enough to fill one person up. The viennese schnitzel is basically a fried pork cutlet (like a katsu) but with different seasonings and paired with some kind of red sauce. The mashed potatoes...were just mashed potatoes. The portion felt a little small for the price for what you get, pork cutlet and mashed potatoes being $27. I can see how authentic this place is, but being tucked so far away in Richmond naturally gets it lower foot traffic than other more accessible spots. The food is delicious and if people are willing to take their grandparents here, then you know it's authentic. I just wish the service was more attentive. The portions to price ratio was also pretty low, and I left feeling a little hungry despite spending $75 before tax and tip for 2. This place is feels more geared to reminiscing a childhood flavor with the family over a date night IMO.

We all like a Cinderella story whether it's the Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo this last…read moreweekend ( hats off) and watching Mr. Irrelevant Brock Purdy drafted last and help the 49ers win the NFC Championship. On the May Fourth be with you today Star Wars movie has Cinderella undertones. Growing up the Piroshki was all around the corner liquor stores in San Francisco especially in the Mission District ( a whole different Cinderella story). The piroshki would be a fast microwaved treat to have during lunch and after school. Over the years I have been very selective when picking up a piroshki from a corner store because they can be very doughy. There is one bakery in San Francisco which has been making a variety of piroshkis for over 70 years. This Russian bakery has both the savory and the sweet . It's located on Balboa street and it's called Cinderella. On a Spring stroll I landed at Cinderella. Inside you can see and smell the delicious bake goods which can be sweet and some salty like some in SF. On the sweet side I enjoy their honey cake but no donuts . On the savory side it's the piroshkis. My favorite is the beef and cheddar piroshki. It wasn't too cheesy like some in SF but the beef was tender and it almost tastes like a smashed burger ( not to be confused with smash burger) all in a soft bun. The are other interesting items on the menu like Pelmeni which are Russian dumplings and Siberian Pie. You can wash it all down with a Matcha Latte ( for Don Juan de la Matcha) or the Kompot drink. There is a planned expansion to the Mission District in with a location at 2937 24th street. This will be a good Cinderella story for all of San Francisco. Go to a place which has a good piroshki "supply" these piroshki buns get baked and some they do "fry" they have other baked goods and food you can "try" like their Grilled Salmon salad and the Cherry Vareniki the Russian Dumpling which has sour cream & sour cherries or the "Siberian Pie" So go on a stroll to "Cinderella" which is the place when it comes to piroshki and baked goods because they got "hella" tasty variations like the Blinchiki with Caviar with more than a bump and you also have one made with it "Nutella" and this bakery sings to me like a Broadway " A capella"

Came here for a dinner after work with some friends. I didn't realize they close at 8, so we…read moredefinitely had a quick meal, but it was still a good experience. We ordered a bunch of dumplings, hand pies, and beers! The beers were all really good, we all agreed the honey one was by far the best. The hand pie was alright, but I'd stick with the pelmeni: -Beef Gouda - Really tasty and well balanced -Chicken - This was my favorite, I loved the basil -Lamb - I generally don't like lamb much, but this was great -Potato - definitely relied on the sauces for more flavor, but still good The dining area is spacious and comfy, with mostly indoor and some outdoor seating. Service was quick and friendly, and prices were reasonable. Definitely a great unique food option in SF!

Modern, Russian fusion cuisine at it's best…read more I got the privledge to enjoy the DACHA Goulash, the beef was very tender with the sauce covering it really added depth to the meat's flavor. The Lamb Chop Mangal definitely tasted gamey, if you like the taste of lamb you're gonna love the flavor of this dish, it doesn't get hidden. I would skip the pirogi, a small portion of 1 for $10 and nothing special you can't get at a Russian bakery. Tea was flavorful, lasted 3 of us throughout the dinner (with hot water refills). For dessert we had 3 options, but 1 was out, so we got the honey cake and settled for the pavlova. Honey cake was the definite favorite, dense and creamy, exactly how it should be. The service was intimate. We had the host, bartender, and server checking up on us frequently. To be fair we had the place to ourselves the first half of dinner (around opening 5pm, then people started crowding in around 6). A tip for this restaurant is to get the inkind rewards app to get $50 toward your next $150+ visit or you can also use the blackbird app here as well.

This past Sunday, I requested a sampler of sausage from the clerk that I could gift to my father…read more He was able to provide me with 3 sausages that he said were bestsellers, and the price was extremely reasonable. The clerk kindly told me "say hi to your dad" at the end of our exchange. The next day, I arrived with some friends who were from out of town. The store had one other customer that finished his purchase shortly after we arrived. 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." We were definitely a lively group, but not overly loud or disruptive. We all walked away a bit confused. I genuinely wanted to thank him for his help the day before but I'm not sure it was received. Seeing the other reviews which share his odd, and even racist and rude statements definitely tracks. TLDR: Yummy sausages but unreliable customer service from the clerk.

I recommend the grilled cheese with the soup as it's like a grilled cheese + tomato soup, but swap it out with borscht!
