A solid, unique place to stop for anyone checking out Sitka! We got both the beef and the potato dumplings, the only two options on the menu. The limited menu is not a bad thing though. Both were fantastic, and anyone visiting Pel'meni should absolutely get their dumplings with everything on it. Excellent food for lunch, or late night munchies. The guy working the place was very kind and very quick with our orders, too. Truly a gem in the heart of Sitka. read more

Food was ok the flavors were nice. Customer service could improve. Only two options for dumplings. And it's more of a grab and go. But not sure if I am in town if I would come back. read more

Fantastic stop for a snack or lunch. The menu is basic. Small dumplings (beef or potato) cooked to order with a number of toppings to choose from. That's pretty much it. The dumplings were tender, flavorful and a great value. Definitely authentic. Give it a try. read more

The food is great and the service was good too. Really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

We saw this place on a travel channel program, and so we had to try it when our cruise ship docked in this town. The Russian dumplings were absolutely amazing. We ordered the potato filled ones, they also come with beef. The come topped with butter, sriracha, curry powder, and cilantro. The server was prompt, friendly and efficient. The dumplings are made to order and absolutely delicious. This is certainly one of those places that we will return to if we are ever in the area again. read more

Wonderful experience. The Russian dumplings are fresh and melt in your mouth. Price for 4 meals and drinks was 44 bucks...

Great spot for lunch after hiking. Recommend getting everything on them, adding sour cream and mixing together!

Super delicious dumplings in Sitka! We had the potato and they were tender and flavorful. Friendly spot to visit!

If you're in Sitka - you've gotta check out the Pel'meni! Potato or Beef dumplings with delicious butter, curry and cilantro. Super simple but sooooo good!!! They are also open late most days which I appreciate! read more

Pel'Meni - Inside. - Russian Near Me - Sitka, Alaska

Came off the cruise and was looking something to snack on. This sweet little spot showed up on Yelp. I ordered one beef and potato dumplings. The beef dumplings reminded me of Chinese pork wontons; so juicy and had lots of flavor! The potato dumplings reminded of gnocchi! I got all of the seasoning on both and it was delicious, I would definitely come back again. Be patient since there is one person boiling the dumplings, taking orders, and checking out; although there can be a line it does move fast! read more

Good sample of Russian food. We were told it was the best in Sitka. Small place...limited sesting.

Oh my goodness, this place was divine. We ordered the potato and beef dumplings to go. Sooooo delicious! We'll definitely eat here next time we're in Sitka. Y'all have to try it! read more

No frills, just good food. Since I was not familiar with pelmeni, Russian dumplings, this place caught my curiosity. I am so glad I stopped! It was so good that I had to get a second order. The texture, the chewiness, the flavor combination (get ALL the toppings) make pelmeni a wonderful experience. This place has found their simple culinary niche, and they do it excellently. Don't go for the ambience (plain) or the view (none) - just treat yourself to a great taste adventure. They are open extra late, and there is NO sales tax in Alaska!! read more

Great dumplings, great price, only two items on the menu, never tried rusting dumplings before and they didn't disappoint

While in Sitka we stopped in because of a review I had seen on YouTube. We ordered an order of the potato dumplings & an order of the beef dumplings. It was 6 of us & we shared both orders, it was definitely plenty enough to share. They both were good but my preference was the potato. Would definitely recommend trying if in Sitka. read more

I skateboard around Lincoln street virtually everyday and some days the little person in my head wants to tug on my brain and insist that I stop and get some Russian dumplings from Pel'meni. The people are nice the food is simple but tasty the ratio of toppings are on point EVERY TIME!!!! Overall Pel'meni passes the vibe check ......fr it's gasssss!! read more

Nice place in Sitka, pretty decent price for a cruise port. Definitely recommend. Staff was great too.

I came to Sitka for the first time today on a cruise. Our shuttle driver told us to check out Pel'meni and so it was definitely on the top of my list! Since I ate at Sitka Pel'mini I have not been able to stop thinking about these amazing dumplings!!! First off, the restaurant is very unique and one of a kind- it is covered in drawings done by the owner's family (not sure, but they are great and fun to look at) and there is a ton of records in the back corner to play. It definitely doesn't feel super touristy like some of the other restaurants. Though the menu is very simple and the set up extremely casual, the flavor combination is so good. I tried all the toppings together and I definitely would recommend it that way! Guy working there was super chill and friendly and all around good vibes. Very interesting flavor combo but somehow it all works. Not sure why i loved it so much but I REALLY DID. Fast service,great prices, perfect portion sizes for a quick bite or on the go, and customizable options! What's not to like? Go get some dumplings!!! read more

Food is okay. There was a lady customer in there that was crazy speaking Russian and yelling at the girl making the dumplings. Not sure what the deal was but it was interesting. read more

First time eating here. This is such good food. Get everything put on the dumplings. Get both options, potato and beef, we did and we prefer the beef. Service is amazing and the atmosphere is very homey and friendly. You owe it to your vacation to stop here. read more

It was fun visiting this little shop for some traditional Russian dumplings. We had some with just sour cream (the traditional way) and some with all of the toppings. The price was good. It's just a little shop with a small menu but comfortable enough for a quick lunch or snack. read more

Amazing food spot. Whenever we visit we eat here at least twice. Very authentic russian dumplings! Highly recommend.

The best dang dumplings I ever tasted! Order 2 orders because they go by so quickly once you start eating them. Simple but so delicious. I got half potato and half beef. read more

This hidden gem was a perfect escape on rainy afternoon. Delicious food filled our bellies and warmed us up.

This place is a must stop on a visit to Sitka. We tried both dumplings and went back for a second helping of the beef. Definitely a highlight of the trip. read more

Simple, fast, and affordable. You can portend its healthy if u want to. Service is attentive and pleasant. 1$ soda to go with your meal. Open late for bar closing crowds. read more

We came here for an afternoon snack. Ordered one of each. The portions were a good size. I was sharing them with kids so we just got butter as the topping. Both were good, but we preferred the beef. read more

Had the beef dumplings. Very reasonable price and extremely tasty. My wife and I both really enjoyed it.

Excellent Pel'meni! Freshly made and tasty. Staff was friendly and helpful. I ordered the beef (there's also a potato version) with everything, which includes butter, sour cream, cilantro, curry and sriracha sauce. Tiny hole-in-the-wall but clean and with some seating. read more

Simple menu, dumplings with toppings, but excellent! Will 100% be back!! 10min for 4 orders very reasonable. read more

The cashier at a local gift shop recommended this spot and we are glad we came! Low key, open late; if you don't see a drink you like in the cooler, then pop next door to the Munchie Mart and grab a drink there. We had the beef dumplings with all the toppings. Fun to experience a little Russian dish in Sitka! read more

Eating at the Pel'meni in Sitka was the last one I needed to say I've eaten at all of them in Alaska. Go to comfort food and never disappoints read more

The food is predictable, affordable & hits the spot. The bummer is that there is no calling ahead for pick up, as they NEVER answer their phone. Never ever. read more

Great service and $9 for 15 small Russian dumpling which are delicious! Come here and support Sitka local business!

Yummy!!!!! Little dumpling bombs that melt in your mouth! Easy selection and nice sitting! And vinyl records of my!

Great food and atmosphere! Good view and friendly staff. Love the scratchy old record albums.

Walked past it twice before we found it but it was worth the search. What do you want, beef or potato? We got one of each and shared and they were great. Simple menu and good food. If you're in a place with a Russian heritage like Sitka, you've gotta try some pierogies! read more
