Absolutely love Alaskan & Dumplings! Very welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The drinks are great and reasonably priced, and there's plenty of parking which makes visiting super convenient. All of the food tastes homemade and authentic you can really tell the care that goes into the dishes. If you're craving authentic Slavic cuisine, this place is a favorite and definitely worth checking out. The owner is super friendly and kind. read more

Love coming here with the kiddos. They like being able to choose different dumplings. Also tried the flaky pierogi, (potato and cheese) which was delicious warmed. Owners are very kind and attentive and offered a complimentary salmon salad to try which was refreshing. Our 6 and 3 year olds surprisingly demolished it. They of course loved their new snowy dessert to wrap things up, which was a kind of light shaved ice cream dessert with different topping options. read more

COMRADES OF CUISINE! Let me tell you about Alaska N Dumplings, where every pelmeni is a tiny passport to pleasure and every bowl of borscht is basically a warm hug from Vladimir Lenin himself! Walking in feels like entering a fever dream directed by Wes Anderson's long-lost Russian cousin. The décor? Picture if a Soviet-era space station had a baby with an Alaskan ice fishing cabin. There's a stuffed bear wearing a cosmonaut helmet. I'm not questioning it. I'm EMBRACING it. The waitress, Svetlana (actually her name was Sarah, but she embraced the role), had the commanding presence of someone who could wrestle a moose while reciting Pushkin. When she brought out the vodka flight, each shot glass was balanced on a miniature ice sculpture of various Russian presidents riding different Arctic animals. I WEPT. The pelmeni dumplings? THEY FLOAT. I don't mean metaphorically - they actually hover 2 inches above the plate. The kitchen must employ a quantum physicist. The beef stroganoff was so tender, it made my grandmother question everything she knew about cooking, and she's been dead for 12 years. Their signature dish, "The Siberian Surprise," comes served in a hollowed-out block of ice with a tiny working hammer and sickle to crack it open. Inside? The most revolutionary dumplings ever to grace American soil. Each bite sounds like the Russian National Anthem. I'm not even exaggerating (I am). The borscht was so red it made marinara sauce look pale. It came with a certificate of authenticity signed by a babushka who lives in an enchanted forest. The mushroom soup? Let's just say after eating it, I could communicate telepathically with fungi for about 45 minutes. Five stars? In Soviet Russia, stars rate YOU. I've already changed my last name to end in "-ov" and bought a fur hat. My credit card is now declining purchases in English. P.S. Their complimentary bread is actually blessed by a mysterious monk who only appears during full moons. Don't ask how I know this. Just trust the process, comrade. read more

Ever since traveling to Kyrgyzstan and trying pelmeni for the first time, it has become my favorite fo. The service is fantastic, and they have good music playing (which is rare for any restaurant). The server is from Lithuania and we chatted about Eurovision, she was so incredibly nice. And the food was AMAZING. Pelmeni is one food that is impossible to mess up, and the chocolate medovik was also great read more

Alaska and Dumplings - Alaskan Classic Dumpling - Russian Near Me - Maple Valley, Washington

See all

I came here with a group of friends on a Saturday evening. We ordered almost every dumpling combination - classic, sweet and spicy, loaded with either pork, chicken or potato but it just didn't hit for me. I didn't quite like it, I didn't enjoy the sauce combinations. I shared the chicken soup with dumplings with a friend and that was delicious. That was great. We ended with the chocolate cake and the honey cake. Both were so good that we ordered them again. I particularly loved the chocolate cake, never tasted something like that before. It had this creamy center that tasted like mouse, definitely recommend this! There was only one person who was cooking and serving and there were 2 big tables which led to a bit of a wait. But the waiter was really nice about everything. read more

Small little place in small strip mall. There's a bunch of tables to dine in if you like. They have a nice clean bathroom ( always a plus in my book). My kids have gone here before and were raving about the beef pierogi so we all stopped in for lunch. So there was a selection of fillings you can choose from and the style they're prepared. We ordered the potato mushroom, the beef and pork, potato cheese and bacon and the beef. You can order in different sizes-12,18 or 24. Son got the 24, the rest of us got the 18 which was enough to make us pretty full. Son was stuffed. I'd say get the 18 and and appetizer. We all agreed that the beef with classic Alaskan style (without the sriracha) was the best. The potato mushroom loaded the least favorite- too bland. The chicken soup was pretty good but the borscht! Wow! It was so good with pieces of meat, potato and beet. Best borscht I have tasted so far. We also got a cheese and potato piroshky which was light and flaky, not super dense and heavy like others we've had. It was on the small size- kind of the size of a MacDonald's apple pie. But it was yummy. AND the beer was $5 as long as you order food! To top it off we shared the honey cake. It looked like it would be dry but no, it wasn't and it had a nice honey flavor which wasn't overly sweet. Thumbs up for this place read more

Nicely decorated little place! Feels like walking into a vacation log house. The dumplings are good. Many different flavors to choose from. They have different beer on tap. I don't drink but I can imagine the beer would go well with the dumplings. The desserts are also tasty. Not something you can get from a grocery store. Very nutty and flaky layers. read more

Got some dumplings here today for dinner. Delivery was through the yelp app with grub hub! I loved how quick it was for delivery and around here it can be like two hours through competitors. I love that they are doing this! Let's talk food It was good, not horrible, but not great either. First up: Plain Dumplings 12c Chicken + Pork filling I got these strategically. How were these plain little pocket of nuggets Unfortunately they were under seasoned. I did get Alaskan Spicy Sauce + $1.00 on the side, not my vibe, so it didn't care to dip it. The sour cream also didn't help. Because what it comes down to is the filling. It just lacked seasoning. Chicken, Beef and Pork Pierogis Had to get their version of a pierogi. Loved how flaky this was! Absolutely delicious on that front. Yet again, the inside was not seasoned at all. Lastly, I got the Loaded Dumplings potato + cheese While the cheese and bacon added salt the inside again was not seasoned well enough. Really fun concept! Definitely give it a go! Not sure it's my thing though read more

We always enjoy our dining experience whether it is in person or carryout. The dumplings are great. There are many choices of fillings. My favorite dumplings are the chicken and pork. My wife enjoys the potato and cheese. We also enjoy the puff pastry shell pierogis. The happy hour deal is incredible: buy a large beer and get a dozen dumplings free. My favorite item on the menu is the chicken and dumpling soup.... Wow!! Overall, we always appreciate the friendly and fast service and the great food!! read more

Always enjoy a mix of half chicken/pork and half potato/cheese dumplings with the buffalo sauce and a side of sour cream. Reasonably priced for a meal. read more

This was the cleanest restaurant I've ever been in! Not a single crumb on the tables and it smelled really nice. Food was good, my only complaint was I had to ask for a drink; it wasn't automatically brought out with my food. read more

Dumplings are tasty (sweet and spicy sauce was my favorite) but the serving sizes are TINY. Each dumpling is about the size of a single serve creamer cup. You can order 12 or 18 dumplings, and I feel that I could have eaten probably 48 dumplings or more. At $11/dozen or $14/18 dumplings, this would have been a $42-44 lunch. Not worth it in my opinion unless you're just looking for an expensive appetizer. read more

The food is great! I like the place and service. Worth paying a bit extra for good dumplings.

What can I say but "oh man this was delicious". We ordered just about everything on the menu; borscht, Russian coleslaw, all of the dumplings (some chicken some potatoes and cheese), perogies, and more dumplings. And. Holy cow. My VERY discerning cousin, who considers himself somewhat an aficionado of Slavic food because of our background and his upraising, LOVED it. He called in before we arrived to try to get a read on the place; talked to Yelena, very blatantly asked if it was any good and if it was authentic. Yelena was a champ, took it all and rolled with it! I would like to clarify he wasn't rude, but surprisingly direct . She even let us move tables together to sit by the window and didn't have a problem with our kiddo with the zoomies running around the place. Very personable and very cool lady. We show up and Yelena is the only one working there but the service doesn't suffer at all. She tells us she's from Minsk and she makes all the food herself. So we start with some beer (the only not Russian-ish thing there- I say "ish" because they do a bit of an American fusion with some of their dumplings). The beer was good local microbrews. Then we started with dumplings- I think we did the original and the buffalo dumplings, split chicken and potato filling. All four versions were great but I preferred the potato. We carried on getting all of the other stuff I listed above. It was all great but that borscht was INCREDIBLE. So was the coleslaw, honestly. Really I just couldn't get over how empty the place was because it was truly phenomenal. PLEASE drop by; this is a gem in Maple Valley! I wish I had pictures but we scarfed the food down. read more

If you're starving, you might want to go somewhere else. The service is not quick. It took about a half hour for our entree to be brought out. The appetizer, came after, only after I asked. I was expecting something a little different. I've eaten pel meni for many years, and that's what I thought this was going to be. There was more vinegar in the Alaskan classic than I'm used to. My daughter said that in the loaded, the ham tasted like the ham in a lunchable. The perogi, the pastry was pretty bland, and not flaky like I was expecting it to be. Kind of mushy, like it was microwaved. The meat mixture, was pretty dry and crumbly. I really wanted to like the place, but don't think I'll return. read more

Literally everything here is delicious! I love how careful the staff are with cleanliness and social distancing. I was able to order to go without any hassle and they got my large order of various dumplings and pierogis ready quickly. I will look to Alaska N Dumplings when I want my dumpling fix from now on! If you are looking for a trendy and safe dumpling bar in the Maple Valley area, this should be your go to! They have all sorts of topping options and even a happy hour that sports free dumpling deals with a beer purchase. Brunch on Saturday and Sunday is from 10-1 and starts at just $5 bucks. read more

I wanted this place to be good, unfortunately my experience here was not great. I ordered the loaded perogies and the sweet and sour perogies. I didn't receive the Alaskan sauce I ordered and the perogies are plain...nothing "loaded" or sweet and sour about them. I've had my fair share of perogies and the ones I received can be purchased at any European store for less than $15 for a huge bag. Maybe the in person experience would have been worth it, but it's football Sunday. I ain't moving from my couch. The $9 honey cake was promising but the order total of $65 was not worth it. read more

Alaska and Dumplings - Delicious Food - Russian Near Me - Maple Valley, Washington

Be prepared. If your first experience with these dumplings was at their food truck, the menu is not the same as in their store. They had no idea what I was describing when I said my dumplings were served with a "brown" sauce. That's when they admitted the sauces on the truck are different than what they have in the store, and a lot of people ask about it. That said, the dumplings were just as delicious as they sold from their truck, but the "brown" sauce they recommended was not the same. In fact, it was such a strong vinegar flavor that we did not eat it. We did love their "classic" sauce, a mix of mayo, spices, and Sriracha. Overall, would visit again! read more

I was excited to try this spot and to support a different ethnic option for cuisine in MV. Unfortunately , I found it incredibly overpriced and pretty plain. Might have just been the day... won't pass entirely yet, but meh read more

The staff was amazing! So kind and reserved a table for 12 of us altho their restaurant is small. They are an extremely kind and I believe family owned and operated business. Pricing was fair. My niece and nephews adored the place and couldn't get enough dumplings. I really enjoyed the beet salad. Good place to go check out. I hear they have food trucks at events, so definitely check those out! read more

We tried to call ahead to make sure the business was still open but the number wouldn't go through. So we drove over anyways planning on going over to another restaurant if closed. When we got there the sign says open but there was a note stating they were opening at 5:30pm, 30 minutes wait just to see if they would open. We really wanted to try the food so we waited. One person showed up, said he was called in to help. He was very friendly and answered questions we had about the food, drinks and dessert. I'm from Alaska and this was more Russian but it was very good, all of it. The sweet and sour was probably our favorite. Cakes were delicious and the drinks very unique. Will go back. read more

We stopped at their food truck at Rooftop Brewery, and ordered the chicken and pork, as well as the potato and mushroom, dumplings. They are small but tasty, though we were both surprised at how NOT filling they were as we were both hungry a couple of hours later. That said, we went there almost 2 weeks ago and I'm still thinking about them, so I'll probably go back for more when they're back at Rooftop. read more

Amazing place with amazing food! First time trying and will definitely be back!! From dumplings to the cakes! read more

I was surprised that we were charged for the sour cream in borsch....I've never seen this before. It's fine if you want to have a higher price but don't sneak in extra charges. The usual rye bread for the borsh was not provided and overall for 3 ppl we ended up spending almost $80. I don't believe the experience and the amount of food justifies this price, and so we are not coming back. read more

Ive stopped in a couple of times to enjoy some dumplings and borscht and everytime its been delicious.
