Service was decent. It did take a little time for food to come out but wasn't too bad. Chicken crepe -- these were surprisingly good. It was wrapped like a roll and the sour cream help elevate it even further. Trout dish -- fish was juicy but needed some salt. They gave us 3 of these thin like tortilla but we definitely need more. The potatoes, salad and salsa was all good as well Khinkali -- skin was a little thick but it was decent. Price was very good for the dishes. Everything was good but nothing really stood out for me

Seems plain but packed with flavors. My whole family love this. Overall, would come back for the dumplings and try other non piroshsky items.

With plenty of sweet and savory options to choose from, you're sure to find something at this little shop. Friendly employees can give you a recommendation, but it's all good, so just get whatever calls to you. There are many locations across Seattle, but the Pike Place location has got to be one of the best. There is something about the tiny storefront and walking through the market with a delicious pastry in hand.

The pastry was warm, soft, and had a nice golden crust, and the filling was rich and flavorful without being too heavy.

Very disappointed with Rush Inn dumplings in Kirkland. The pelmeni were tiny, bland, and lacked…read moreflavor. What really ruined it for me was that they poured hot sauce all over the dumplings without asking. That's not how Russian dumplings are traditionally served -- sauce should be on the side so people can choose for themselves. By the time I got the food, everything was soggy and overpowered by the sauce. Definitely not the experience I expected. The lamb pilaf was honestly mediocre at best. The rice didn't resemble traditional pilaf rice at all -- instead of proper long grains, it tasted like tiny broken pieces of rice with a strange texture. The meat was sparse, chopped into tiny questionable bits, and there was barely enough of it to even tell what kind of meat it was supposed to be. The whole dish felt cheap, bland, and very far from authentic. Definitely not something I'd order again. I actually love Russian food and Slavic cuisine in general, so this review is not about the culture or the cuisine itself -- quite the opposite. That's why this experience was so disappointing. Rush Inn in Kirkland simply did not represent the quality and flavor that Russian food is known for.

I ordered the birch juice, pelmini, borscht and Uzbek samsa. The birch juice was refreshing and slightly sweet. It was the perfect size of borscht. The borscht was light and filling at the same time. I make my own borscht at home at was deliciously comparable. I like that they garnished it with dill. I love dill. The Uzbek samsa was fluffy and crispy on the outside and juicy and flavorful on the inside. I could really taste the seasonings. I think they may use cumin in it. I could eat a few of these! The pelmini must be homemade, because the dough itself was thin but chewy. I love pelmini, and these are my favorite so far. I also loved the dill garnish as well. I can't wait to come back and try more!

I tried two smalls because I couldn't decide, but I'm glad I did because I liked both! I would say the classic was better, but sometimes you want potato Mac n cheese. Service - so we have tried to Uber eats here a few times and they were closed until recently, so we went in person to be certain they were open for business. The staff there was very kind and answered our questions and then they cooked all our food up promptly. Ambiance - it's a small space with mostly bar seating and about 3 small tables. No outdoor seating that I saw. Great chill ambiance for a lunch or very casual dinner or snack. We went on a weekday at lunch time for reference. Pretty reasonable for the price and they had water available in a cooler.

This is a fairly hidden gem restaurant a little bit west of UDistrict, closer to Wallingford. The…read moremenu features a bunch of dishes in Central Asia, with fitchi being the star of the show, as the name of this establishment suggests. Fitchi is a stuffed pastry from Uzbekistan/Turkmenistan, and surprisingly when I googled what fitchi was, there weren't a whole lot of search results, so I am ready for a special culinary adventure! When we arrived, it was 2pm and we got the last table and had to wait for 2 chairs to be unoccupied, since it is a place where you sit anywhere and grab chairs from other tables if you need for larger groups. We got 1 chicken and 1 beef fitchi to share, which was $5.50 each + tax, which is a really good deal considering the size of the fitchi. Food does take a while to get since they make fresh to order, so expect 20-30 minutes wait for the food. It was a bit interesting the fitchi is served with a side of ranch, and the server gave us 2 spoons and 2 knives to eat it. The beef fitchi is amazing - very flavorful and juicy. The chicken fitchi is also good but does not carry the level of seasoning as the beef one, but you should try both. Overall, solid, humble restaurant to check out food that you don't typically see often!

Fitchi House is the only restaurant in Seattle serving authentic Central Asian cuisine, as far as i…read moreknow. If you haven't tried them yet, this is a must-visit! Central Asian cuisine is shared by Uyghur Chinese, Uzbeks, Kyrgyz, Kazakh, and Turkmens. Many famous cuisines, like Turkish, Persian, and Indian, have roots in this region. A warm and passionate lady from Kyrgyzstan runs Fitchi House, recreating the exact dishes she grew up with. No wonder everything is so delicious! I've enjoyed their signature dish, Fitchi (Central Asian meat pie), many times, and it's always a winner! For the first time, I tried three new dishes--and they're all must-tries: Laghman: Hand-pulled noodles topped with fried meat, veggies, and savory stew. Hand pulling the noodles are the real deal--perfectly chewy and complement the toppings beautifully. I totally loved it! Gosh Naan: A deep-fried meat pie, a staple of Uyghur and Kyrgyz cuisine. It's crispy outside, savory inside, and surprisingly not oily. Absolutely delicious. Kazan Kabab: Meat cooked with subtle spices in a special wok called Kazan, served with jasmine rice. It looks simple, but the meat is packed with flavor--an explosion created by subtle spices that pairs perfectly with the jasmine rice. An Uzbek dish, but eaten all over central asia. They also offer a full menu of Italian Pizzas, all Halal--one of the rare places in Seatle serving traditional pizzas ( whereas most places serve Halal Pizza only Indian style) like this. No wonder Central Asians are known for being the world's best bakers! When I asked for their top three dishes, they had a hard time choosing because every dish is a heartfelt recreation of their own kitchen. The inside is small but gives off a homely feeling. If you strike up a chat, you'll feel like you've been invited into a Kyrgyz home kitchen. Truly an amazing addition to Seattle's food scene! Pro Tip: Don't miss their Fitchis and Samsas!
