I ordered the borscht and potato pirogi - both were great! The herring salad was great and the bread was even great! We ordered vodka shots - pickle, mixed berry and lemon. They were all really good! Even the kompot was good. I think my experience at Kalinka was so good I recommend going. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in town.

If you are feeling nostalgic for Russian food this place is an absolute must! And if you haven't tried this cuisine before, I guarantee it will surprise you.

I've been coming to Traktir for quite some time now and their food never disappoints! If you're…read morelooking for some authentic mom&pop like comfort food, Traktir is 100% worth trying. The food is so fresh and homemade and gives you a true taste of Russian/Ukrainian food! Our go-to's are always the Borscht soup, Darniskty Salad, Pelmeni, and Chicken Tabaka. They also always bring out some fresh Russian bread for FREE and they are super giving on the portion. The soup is a 10/10, reminds me of the Hong-Kong style borscht soup. Comforting, healthy, and hearty! The salad is by far the major reason I keep coming back. The dill, fresh tomato slices, salty onion, and cucumber with a little zest is so tasty and again super healthy! The pelmeni and tabaka are classics you can never go wrong with. The pelmeni also reminds me of Chinese pork dumplings and are absolutely delicious with their fresh sour cream dipping sauce. Our recent visit, we were sat on the exterior part of their restaurant and it was a bit chilly and windy so the owner provided me and my partner blankets! How sweet and thoughtful. Service is super friendly, just be mindful that it can be a little slow occasionally depending on reserved parties that day.

Today, however, I went with one of their signature items--chicken blintzes in porcini mushroom sauce. The dish was simply incredible, the baked crepe covered in cheese, the meat filling delicious, super tender, just melting in your mouth. Especially when you dip a piece of the blintzes into the mushrooms sauce, it's a homerun. Plethora of flavors all working beautifully together to give you that "Oh Woooow" feeling of satisfaction. Definitely a must try here. The design here is rustic, old school Ukrainian-Russian, with a lot of wood finishes. The customer service here is consistently amazing. Will definitely be back again!

The show was interesting and entertaining as well! Our server Gayane was very attentive and friendly, always checking on us, and maintaining a clean table. If you are party of 6 and/or more, they offer a set menu with a different price range ($135, $175, $250 p/p). Since we were only party of 2 we had to order from a menu. Cheese platter, salmon carpaccio, vinaigrette salad, wague beef, & bronzino. A manager or the owner came to our table with a plate of lamb chops, as a token of appreciation, that was very sweet-thank you! Everything was delicious, however, if you really hungry the portions are small, it won't satisfy you. We had a big lunch earlier, so we felt great with it. Another great touch was, they have a photographer that goes around the whole evening, and takes pictures of the guests. Within few minutes you get an offer of purchasing your pic in a nice frame for $20 (a fare price in my opinion). Even though we didn't need all 3 pics of us, we still purchased them all in support of the photographer's business. In all, yes it's pricey, and adds up quickly, but absolutely worth it! We will be back. I highly recommend this restaurant for a birthday celebration, or even if you just want a special evening with your significant one.

Went here awhile ago with two other friends (around 3 years ago)…read more It was surprisingly empty. The owner came out from the kitchen/employee side and greeted us with a warm smile. He was so helpful with guiding us what to get and suggesting popular dishes The appetizers were delicious! I remember it being a type of bread and red sauce We had lamb as our main dish with other sides which was amazing! The food was so tender and rich in flavor I was shocked by it At the end the owner gave us some Russian chocolate and talked about his business with us. It was a lovely conversation and the chocolates were some of the best chocolate I've ever had I was so shocked to see why the place was so empty, it was clean, well kept, beautiful decorations, and a warm vibe! (Then again it was during Covid times) The outside of the restaurant isn't the best but what can you expect from LA? I still think about this place and the amazing experience I had which was years ago. I've always wanted to write a review and now I am! Amazing food and service, I do hope it's bustling in business
