What Diners Say
★★★★★ "Amazing store for Russian Food. We ordered the borscht, pelmeni, olivye, and medovik. It did take a bit for our main dishes to come out but its a family run restaurant so i was a-ok waiting. We had a tub of olivye and slice of medovik to snack on anyways so all good.
★★★★★ "Me and my partner went to this bakery on the 30th of December at around 11 AM. It got really crowded in like 30 min or so. We got the mushroom and potato piroshi, sweeet cheese and beef blinchiki, strawberry cream turnover, hazelnut financier, eclairs and napoleon cake.
★★★★★ "A hidden gem in SF. Find this place and find a little slice of Heaven in the Richmond district.
