This place has all the ambiance of your babushkas basement with all of the creature comforts dining in the desert of Arizona. The menu features enough sausage options to think there was a factory out back. There were over 10 varieties to choose from, and after a brief existential crisis, I settled on the two sausages with sauerkraut. They were so good I immediately regretted not ordering a few more links. That's the missing link in my decision-making process. Then came the potato and cheddar pierogies. Naturally, I smothered them in bacon, sautéed onions, and sour cream because moderation is for people eating salads. Each bite tasted like a warm hug from someone's Ukrainian (grandma) who also wanted to make sure you never skipped a meal again. Just when I thought my arteries had filed for divorce, dessert arrived: a cottage cheese crepe with berry sauce that was somehow light, rich, sweet, and ridiculously good all at once. This isn't a place that wastes time trying to impress you with Edison bulbs, reclaimed wood, or a menu that describes water as "locally sourced." They let the food do the talking, and the food basically says, "Sit down, you're too skinny." read more

Man, not what I was expecting. Soup and cabbage rolls tasted good. Portions on cabbage rolls were tiny for the price. We got these fried dumpling things that were good but desperately needed a dipping sauce. The dessert was their like specialty cake. It was frozen and the food dye icing ruined it badly. Staff seemed irritated we asked for a food to be cooked in olive oil or butter. So we just said cook it how you normally do. 2 people, soup, mains, dessert $55. Wasn't close to enough food. Unique but overall a disappointing experience read more

Wasn't feeling super well so stopped through grabbed some chicken noodle soup. Super filling great flavor and well worth the price!

Now this is culture. My work has brought me to this side of town and I've eaten here three times in the past week. This is food I could eat all the time. Solyanka is such an amazing soup. Highly underrated cuisine. read more

An order at the counter place, though the person at the counter was plenty nice. I ordered the cabbage rolls with pork and they had a lovely texture but were a little plain. My partner ordered the chicken kiev and enjoyed it quite a bit. They came with these very dill-heavy potatoes, which were also fun! Not my favorite Eastern European place, but I can't speak to the authenticity. read more

Soup & Sausage Bistro - Ukrainian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have Romanian roots, so I was excited to hear that there are several Eastern European restaurants in Phoenix. Soup & Sausage Bistro is one of them. They have two locations, with this being the original. I stopped by on a Friday evening for dinner at 6 p.m. I easily parked in the surface lot they share with several other businesses. Ambiance (3/5): Soup & Sausage Bistro is a no frills restaurant. And a pretty small one at that. Is does have a homey feel to it, and I was there for the food, so the ambiance wasn't a big selling point for me. Service (N/A): You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. They didn't check on us after that, so service isn't a big part of the experience here. Drinks (4/5): Beer and wine only, but they do have Ukrainian beer. I had never had Ukrainian beer before so I had to try it. They had three or four different ons. I picked a lager. It was just what I expected. Food (4/5): If you've never had Ukrainian or Polish food before, you're in for a treat. The menu is mostly made up of soups, sausage, classic Ukrainian and Polish hearty dishes, and dessert. They have several combos where you can try a nice variety of items, which is what I rolled with. A got a sarma (cabbage roll in a tomato sauce, potato pancake with apple sauce, a bun (with tomatoes and mozzarella) and five pierogies (two potato and cheddar, two chicken, and two sour cherry). This was quite the feast! The cabbage roll was delicious, and reminded me of the Romanian variety (a lot of Eastern European countries have their own version). The flaky bun was also scrumptious (you really can't go wrong with mozzarella and tomato). The pierogies reminded me of my time in Michigan where there's a large Polish population. The chicken ones were meh, but the potato and cheddar and the dessert pierogies were on point. And last but not least, the potato pancake was crispy and fried just right. There's a lot to like at Soup & Sausage Bistro. Just make sure you come before they close, as they close quite early (8 p.m. on Friday). Next time around, I'm eyeing one of their soups. Or perhaps sausage. Or chicken Kiev. Lots of attractive options that I have still yet to try! read more

I love the straightforward name of this place: it's a quiescent spot that specializes in soup and sausage. I do find it odd that their website tells you can order pierogi by itself but their onsite physical menu doesn't even have that. I decided to try their namesake: a soup and two different sausages. I really loved their calming background piano music. The soup was quite nice and tasty. I only really liked the Polish sausage and wasn't a fan of the linguisa. Service was straightforward and friendly. read more

Another foodie adventure. Highly unlikely I'll ever travel to the country of Ukraine, but fortunately, this restaurant specializes in this cuisine! Small but busy restaurant with delicious food! So many options too! Easy to just order at the counter and then find a table. Staff was amazing and shout out to Nastasia who served us. Decided on Hunter's stew, cabbage rolls and sweet crepes. My crew ordered a variety of other choices: pierogies, smoked sausage, honey cake, sauerkraut, caramel nuts. Happy reviews all around. The food came out after a short wait and it was all so good! The star of the show for me were the cabbage rolls for sure. Give this place a try. I'm sure that something on the menu will satisfy your taste buds! read more

If you want the top of my list this place is absolutely delicious. I recommend the cabbage rolls either beef or pork and I just tried to boiled potatoes today amazing little butter scallions and dill. Oh so good I call this comfort food! and would give it 10 Stars if allowable! read more

I love this place! When I'm town again for a conference I dragged my family here and they did not retreat it! (I already knew I would love it again.) The food is stellar and they have so many choices which are all amazing. And fresh and tasty! My favorite Amos borscht and pierogies, but I could easily eat one of everything from the menu if give enough time. We weren't staying close but I managed to finagle two trips (an hour away from us) and loved every bite. This spot is amazing and if you haven't tried it yet you are missing out. Go there immediately! Yum. read more

Unbelievable. The food was incredible, the service was great and I loved the ambience. We have tried multiple dishes on multiple occasions and they all look exactly like how my Baba made them. 6 stars. read more

Couldn't easily cut through the vegetarian cabbage roll. Cabbage appeared like a soft fibrous fabric that s table knife couldn't really easily cut through. And when i had to use my own teeth to bite portions off the fork hang, the chewing of the cabbage was noticeably long! read more

The food was amazing and so delicious. I would really recommend the soup with beef. So filling and enough for two days. Service really was great they answered all my questions read more

Our group enjoyed a lovely Sunday afternoon meal...we tried most of the menu picks and food was tasty and service good...Thanks

If you know what to expect (starch and meat based), it's good! My caveat is the price. As a retired couple, we eat out at noon almost every day, and don't mind paying more for specialty food...however, we shared a plate and got 1 soup (water to drink, no dessert) and the tab was $45! This wasn't good value, and won't be returning. read more

To start off, I e been eating here for at least 7 years. Last night I ordered my normal order, chicken schnitzel and an extra side of sauerkraut. My wife ordered her usual, the pork cabbage rolls, an order of three and order of steamed vegetables. There you have it. Hers the rub, it was $57....absolutely not worth that price. It was worth $25 to $27. The steamed vegetables and the side of sauerkraut were $8.96 a piece!!!!! Enough is enough! Additionally, without saying too much, not good on the tummy. Absolutely, not worth the price. I will say, in fact or of the restaurant, the cabbage rolls are great, but they aren't worth what they are charging. My two cents. My star rating is based on price and quality of the schnitzel. read more

Excellent service. Many menu choices. Homemade Ukrainian food is fresh and very tasty. Portions are reasonable. As a Ukrainian American from Michigan, I try to have lunch or dinner here, when visiting Scottsdale. read more

Friendly service. Ordered chicken Kiev. The chicken tasted very old and reheated. Butter did not come out of the middle like it is supposed to. Salty. The frozen steamed veggies were well frozen veggies. Also ordered cabbage rolls. You get 3 small to medium rolls for $17. They were mushy, overcooked and salty. But despite the salt they tasted good. Maybe it was an off day or yesterday's leftovers read more

Eating the food made me feel as though I was back in the womb. I've never traveled outside the state of Arizona but I felt like I was back home in Eastern Europe as a child all over again. read more

Imagine craving chicken soup and dining out a place called soup and sausage is 8 minutes away!!! This place is legit good!

Everything tastes amazing, I live in Prescott so when I'm in phx this is my go to for food now

Delicious stuffed cabbage and sauerkraut pierogis! Very flavorful and big portions. It felt like a home cooked meal. Thank you!!

Currently having a staycation at a hotel nearby and we saw this place was close by. The interior is modest and nicely decorated for Christmas. Service was chill but prompt. The food was good but not sure if I could say great? I had the sausage plate and one potato cake was burnt. I did really enjoy the tomato salad. The hot sandwich was more of roll with sauce and sausage on top. Flavors were good but overall food was a little dry. The honey cake though was absolutely delicious and our favorite part! The other food looked good I think we just didn't choose the best options. I think the soups may be the way to go instead!! read more

Potato pancakes were good pierogies were OK. Here's the problem. They started cleaning the floors with a very strong floor solution while we were finishing our dinner. Why would a restaurant do that? It was horrific. I could never go back after that. read more

Food reminded me of home. Fast service and tasty offerings - golubtsi (cabbage rolls) and borscht were outstanding

I had this terrible cold and I needed chicken soup. The can was not going to cut it, so I looked elsewhere. Good job DoorDash for having soup and sausage bistro on the list. Their chicken soup was the absolute gold elixir that brought me back to Health. I love that It was packed with veggies as well as tender chicken. I thought it would also be good to get some carb in my life so I got the potato pancakes with both the applesauce and sour cream and it was very good. I also got the honey cake and it was the most moist and fluffy, layered cake that I've had in quite some time. I love the fact that it had a not super sweet cream, which really helped balance the flavor of the cake out. I recommended this spot to 10 people that I've known who've gotten sick and needed a little boost with some solid soup. read more
