Didn't taste as it supposed to be, like at all Cherry vareniki - they were alright. The dough was too thick, in my opinion. Sweets: honey cake - disappointed too. Many recipes are just off the track. Ordered fried beef pirozhok - Thats one was actually very good. Pork/beef Pelmeni - also good and salad Olivie. My 3 stars are for these items on the menu I might give it another try with different dishes.

We ordered the borscht which comes in two sizes. The borscht came out out warm and hot. It was very delicious and nutritious. Rye bread is included with the soup. We also had the beef Gouda dumplings and lamp dumplings. The dumplings are pelmeni which are a little smaller than the traditional vareniki however the filling is very strong and delicious. The condiments to go along with the food were located near their dumpling freezer. Last item was the beef handpie. Pretty good ! But wished it had more filling. Very good with some sour cream. Service is quick. Ordered at the front and picked up order when called. This is a no frills place so it's a quick grab n go lunch or sit down at the restaurant if you please. Would come back !

My Fiance and I were driving around the city deciding which restaurants we wanted to try and we…read moredecided on Leleka because it's never open during the weekends and whenever we want to try they're closed. For this trip we tried the Borsh and the Salmon & Beef/Gouda dumplings. I'll start with the dumplings; super flavorful! The Beef/Gouda was fantastic with the sour cream versus the Garlic sauce and I'd have to say this one was my favorite out of the food we got. 5/5 The salmon one was good, coconut charcoal is what the black color is from, but you can't expect a coconut flavor just because you see the word on there. This one was also very good; I preferred this one with the garlic sauce instead. 4/5* The Borsh unfortunately for me was good, but it came out luke warm at best, not sure how you can serve hot soup, but it was still flavorful and good despite being cold. Make sure to add sour cream to your soup! 3/5* Overall, this place is very good! If they had more accessible hours we'd come on the weekends. It's also downtown and parking on the meters around the restaurant is $4.25/hour for those whom are curious.

The foods cost $33,…read moreplus 8.625% tax in San Francisco and 15% tips I clicked on the screen, the total should be $41. Yet I came to realized much later that they charged me $45.59! At that time, the bill was handwritten for me to check, and then I put down the credit card, a staff came with a POS machine. I clicked 15%, signed, and saw the total charge went to $43.xx, so I checked the handwritern bill again and realized the staff made a mistake (the total of the pre-tax food items should be $33 and but she wrote $35). I pointed it out, the staff apologized, and gave me $2 cash. So far everything should be fine, an honest mistake and the staff was very nice about it. However, this does not explain why my credicard was eventually charged $45 instead of the $43 I signed for. Were there uncommon charges in San Francisco, and is it allowed that the resterant owner to not inform customer about it & not showed them in the final amount (after tax and tip) on the bill?

I had been craving for a good Schnitzel since I visited Europe earlier this year and this…read morerestaurant did not disappoint! The schnitzel was well fried and the mashed potatoes were very buttery! The Sauerkraut was the highlight and even my German friend loved it! Since I went during lunch time, the restaurant was also very quiet. It was also very walkable to a lot of other stores in the Richmond district. The service was great as well. Overall, the food & service were good but it was a bit pricey for schnitzels.

This past Sunday, I requested a sampler of sausage from the clerk that I could gift to my father…read more He was able to provide me with 3 sausages that he said were bestsellers, and the price was extremely reasonable. The clerk kindly told me "say hi to your dad" at the end of our exchange. The next day, I arrived with some friends who were from out of town. The store had one other customer that finished his purchase shortly after we arrived. After my friend made their sausage purchase, I went up to the same clerk from the day before and thanked him for picking out great sausages the day prior. He did not acknowledge my words, and told me "your friends are too loud." I did not fully comprehend his words, and he told me again "your friends are too loud." We were definitely a lively group, but not overly loud or disruptive. We all walked away a bit confused. I genuinely wanted to thank him for his help the day before but I'm not sure it was received. Seeing the other reviews which share his odd, and even racist and rude statements definitely tracks. TLDR: Yummy sausages but unreliable customer service from the clerk.

The soup is flavorful, the portion reasonable for the price and I'm happy they include a dollop of sour cream with it. The only gripe I have it with it sometimes is that it could be hotter. I recommend the grilled cheese with the soup as it's like a grilled cheese + tomato soup, but swap it out with borscht! It's a food truck, so usual service, but they're almost always quick on the soup. Grab them at the Tunnel Tops or Levi Plaza if you want a great spot to dine!
