Food was amazing but they need more staff to work on orders...there was only one person taking orders and preparing the food at the same time... read more

My favorite place in town! Nice ambiance, food pretty filling and worth the $9! Service is pretty good too! Didn't out 5 stars only because I wish I got more pels in my order. Juneau pels gives you more dumplings. Still love it though! read more

The food was really yummy! All the toppings made it amazing too. There's a potato or beef option. I got the potato. It comes with 15 but they're small so easily shareable if you want to try both fillings. The inside is a littler on the smaller side but the guy working was really nice and easy to talk to. The service took about 10 minutes to cook so it was nice and fresh. I was able to walk around and come back to them being ready. read more

Pel'Meni - Potato dumplings - Russian Near Me - Sitka, Alaska

Very small menu. They only serve dumplings. Only two options. Potatoes or beef. I got half and half. I recommend getting all the toppings. You can get as much sour cream as you want. They are steamed and very good. The service was fine. Simple place with a few tables. Playing 80s music while I was there. read more

We were in town for part of the day during a visit by our cruise ship. I'd done some early reconnaissance to scout out restaurants on yelp and this dumping place caught my eye since it's unique and had good reviews. As luck would have it, we were in town around lunch time and got hungry just about a block from the restaurant (it's a small, walkable town). We only had a few minutes before we had to race back to the ship, but when we entered the food was immediately ready. We got a couple orders of pelmini with ground beef, which were awesome. They were unfortunately out of potato dumplings. We had hot sauce on them and really enjoyed it. We also asked for tap water but they pointed us to the refrigerator to have to buy bottled drinks. That said, we'd come back again if in town. read more

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

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

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

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

A charming place with delicious Russian dumplings. Service was great. We tried both the potato and the beef dumplings and they were delicious. The restaurant was clean and bright. They take about 10 minutes to cook but it was worth it. read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
