I was in the area, and I love Russian food, so I thought I'd check this place out. I ordered the…read moreBoo's Love meal, and $18 seemed a little steep, but I was really hungry. Thankfully I pulled over in the lot to eat, so I didn't get far before I noticed my meal had come with fries instead of the salads. The salads were half the reason I wanted to eat there. I walked up to the window to ask why I had gotten fries, and the woman told me they were out of the salads. That's definitely something she should've mentioned when I ordered, but she didn't. I pointed that out to her and explained I wouldn't have wanted it if I had known. She offered to let me return my meal, but I suggested she refund half and let me keep it, which she agreed to. The piroshki was a good size and well seasoned with plenty of filling. The fries looked seasoned but didn't taste like it. They needed salt and/or some kind of sauce. I didn't order any sauces because I didn't know I was getting fries, but they should've come with something complimentary IMO. They were extremely slow for a Friday afternoon on a very busy road. The prices on their website are considerably less than at the shop ($18 vs $15.50 for my meal), and there wasn't a current menu pic on Yelp (which I've since added). I would've skipped it altogether if I had known what they were charging. I imagine that's part of the reason they're so slow. Minus two stars for not explaining they were out of half my meal before preparing it, plus one for offering a fair solution, minus one for sub-par fries and nothing to eat them with. Minus one for inconsistent pricing.

The food truck was colorful and clean (they just opened up in May!) I told the server, I'm raising money, by selling my crafts in order to support Ukraine. She thanked me!

What a find in the Vancouver Mall! Not much experienced in Ukranian food but we really liked them!…read more PARKING: Mall parking! No offense to the mall but there was a ton of parking in the late evening. To get to the food court faster, park by the area where the AMC entrance is and the food court is just upstairs. AMBIANCE: It's a mall food court! What else can I say? The restaurant itself is tucked away in the back corner so be sure not to miss it! SERVICE: The workers have always been so friendly. They're patient when we have questions and are always so helpful. I'm assuming they're the owners as well and they really are so proud of their food. FOOD: - Varenyky: Essentially an Ukranian dumpling stuffed with potato and cheese with caramelized onions on top and sides of sour cream and cabbage salad. Now the dumpling itself is not a flavour punch but I don't think it's supposed to be. It was cooked well, the dough was not tough or rubbery and mixing it together with the sides it's like comfort in your mouth. - Hot Dog: This is my personal favourite. I believe it's a pork-based sausage that's topped with their delicious creamy house sauce and topped with pickles carrots and their slaw and it's a pretty decent size and a delicious meal. Comes with chips too. - Borscht: YUM. Chunks of beets and it's the that sweet and slightly sour taste. Dip their bread in it. Trust. OVERALL: Such a random find in the mall! And it tastes NOT like mall food. I've never had Ukranian food before, but I feel like this was a great introduction. The staff are so friendly and I am happy to support them because the food was very good.
