Oh my amazing! The food was so good! Attentive staff, very chic modern look and again the food! So good! Oh and there were two parties going on so the best was there was music and I got to dance! read more

Food was very good. The menu seems set up for groups as opposed to solo or just a couple. tHe salads and appetizers are sized for sharing. Depending on who else is dining in the restaurant a dance party might break out read more

Very sad. Used to be nice place for many years. Now Ignorant, unprofessional, no respect to other party. Kids running around like crazy. Music - no one understands. Poor management. no respect to old people. If you have special event I do not recommend this place. Waist of money and time. Never again. read more

We had a party recently at the restaurant Passage and we are very impressed with the service, food and music. Very friendly atmosphere. The staff is amazing. Highly recommended! Sofya, Ben. Feasterville, PA. read more

This Northeast Philly gem has undergone a major facelift and expanded into a neighboring unit in the plaza. The restaurant is spacious but not overwhelming while being beautifully decorated. The staff is friendly, quick and eager to help. The entertainment and music is varied and can appeal to all ages and music styles. Most importantly, the food is just outstanding! I have been coming to this restaurant for many years and can confidently say that the food quality has never changed. Generous portions are beautifully presented and always delicious. I just celebrated a birthday here and practically felt like royalty! My guests all had a wonderful evening and called to compliment the next day. Oksana is the sweetest woman and always takes great care of her guests. Passage gets a 10 out of 10 and my guests and I will definitely be back! read more

A work friend recommended this place so a group of us got together and chowed down at Passage Restaurant. My friend/coworker called ahead because she frequents this restaurant often and knows the manager/chef very well. Put in a great order for us so we could get started on inhaling our food right away before worrying about ordering more. Some items we started off with before ordering our individual entrees: -Passage salad -Avocado shrimp salad -A few types of potato pancakes with different toppings -Other delicious buttery, fried crepe-like things with sour cream and other sauces (no online menu so I am at a lost for correct names) -Borsht soup - best I have ever had!!! (no offense to my coworker who has made me some before) For my entree I went with the typical Chicken Kiev because my dining partners said they had some of the best Chicken Kiev. I was not disappointed with this dish. The chicken is basically fried and wrapped in butter! Yummy! The dish was very plentiful with delicious roasted eggplant and peppers. I was so full by the time that I got my entree that my husband was able to enjoy some leftovers when I got home. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy some food out of the normal comforts of Italian and Asian cuisine. There is plenty of parking in a private lot but can be a drive if coming from Delaware and Montgomery counties. And the food is very HEAVY; lots of oil and butter so if you are looking for an overly healthy/light meal this may not be the place for you. read more

This is amazing. Food was well prepared. We can appreciate quality of every dish. We had the best mushroom soup that came along with delicious pastry. The Passage Salad was so fresh and tasty with very fresh quality. Then we had escargot and duck legs. All very good except lamb chops that was somewhat under prepared. Overall, we can see the chef had prepared these dishes with heart and soul. Good tasty dinner. Will definitely go back. read more

Great Ukrainian cuisine in this small BYOB restaurant. The borscht was great. Stroganoff was on the point. Potato pancakes were really good though probably not the healthiest thing in the world, though that's no fault of the restaurant. Highly recommend. read more

My favorite salad that I always crave is from here, it's Lordon Salad ( I might be spelling it wrong). Also love their fish dish - bass with shrimp, and beef medallion are also my personal fave. Overall I love this place and always recommend it. I had my Babyshower here by the way read more

I've been here a few times now and while the menu reflects to same fare as most of the Russian restaurants in the area they are actually more successful at a majority of the dishes. Know first a foremost that like all the other restaurants in this category food is served family style on the tables. The cold appetizers and salads are good with a wide variety so you are pretty assured that there is something for everyone. Same goes for the hot appetizers. You can tweak and adjust the menu to include or exclude items as you need. With that said if you want good shish kabobs this is not the best option as they are the weakest of their menu items. The waitstaff and quick, polite and attentive to the point that they will flow one course of food seamlessly into the next. On the weekends there is a live singer playing & singing mostly Ukrainian songs so you can have a lively dance floor but also make the place very loud. So if you are looking for a place to have a nice conversation over dinner this is not the time/spot. For a quieter meal I recommend coming midweek or during lunch times. read more

Passage Restaurant - Mural wall - French Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Horrible-horrible service and business! No!!! No!!! No!!! Don't go there!!! Ever!!! I was planning my baby shower at this restaurant, invited 15 people. 3 weeks in advance left deposit in the restaurant and picked out the menu. Not the easiest thing to do when you are 8 months pregnant. Few days before event restaurant called to confirm and discuss more details. Everything is set, happy mommy to be is waiting for event with most high hopes. Saturday 2pm. (Everything was planned for Sunday) I'm receiving a call from owner of the restaurant only to her that unfortunately she has a bigger party and she can't fit my guests in.!!!! Can you imagine how shocked I am?!!! Few hours before day is over she is telling me to go find a different place for my baby shower?!! And since I only have 15 people she is telling me 'So just call all your guest back, please. It's not a big deal' Excuse me?!!!! Where were you 3 days ago?! 2 days ago? Or even this morning?!!! Telling me at 2 pm before the event day that you accepted a bigger party over me?! How about my reservation?? How about my deposit? If that's an issue she can give me my deposit back!! Well, duuuuh?! What did you want to not host my event and keep the deposit or what?! I'm on the phone next couple of house trying to find a place what would accept a party reservation on such a short notice. Luckily Lanjeron restaurant was there to help and assured me that they will not let me down. And they didn't. They were shocked to hear about my story as well. That 8 months prego had to go through all that stress just to plan a simple event!!! Would never use this restaurant again and advise you to think twice before you want to do any kind of business with them. Just HORRIBLE! 0 stars if I could do that! Could be good food, idk. They didn't give me a chance to try it! read more

We got takeout, and this food is so good!! Lots of dill and butter. The chicken cutlet, chicken Shish kabob, potato with mushrooms (a whole giant box of it!), and tuna tartare (like poke with capers!) were all delicious. The delivery was on time and everything was very hot! A very good experience. read more

What a fantastic place! My fiancee had her bridal shower here recently and a truly amazing experience. The food is world class. So many tasty items almost too many to choose. There were excellent fish dishes - sea bass and salmon. Lot of excellent seafood - shrimp and mussels. Plus all the normal chicken, beef, pork were all perfectly tender and seasoned. I'm glad we have a lot of leftovers because I could (and will) eat this food for days. The service was terrific. The staff was super accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The waiters were well dressed and groomed; very attentive and polite. There is an ample amount of parking, and it is very visible off of Bustleton, so it is easy ti find, even for someone like me who is still getting to know the area. Will definitely be back soon! read more

This place is absolutely amazing!!!!! Stop looking at reviews - just go there. The only thing more impressive than the food is the people. read more

Friends 30th birthday party at Passage Restaurant in NE Philly. If anyone is familiar with the Russian restaurant scene in Philly you know all the available options. This is the first time we were there since the new owners bought it and changed the name from 1001 Nights. It's a smaller place for to hold 60 people at the most. The one man band for the music was just ok, typical Russian and American songs. The food however was very good. Pictured we have a small potato latke with red caviar and sour cream on top. It's always a fan favorite and did not disappoint. Also pictured is an assortment of Japanese style salads such as Kani and seaweed salad. Typical taste as all the Russian restaurants and same quality you can purchase at any Russian supermarket. The bottom picture is an assortment of fish. Grilled sea bass skewers, shrimp and sea bass filets all covered in a creamy and subtly spicy sauce. I thought it was very good compared to other Russian joints. My wife disagreed but whatever. I'm drunk on vodka and everything tasted good. Basically, overall, it was a cozy atmosphere with solid food. Nothing extraordinary and nothing terrible. I would recommend it for a smaller party and would definitely return. read more

Absolutely amazing! My fiance and I came here for Brunch and from the very first bite I was BLOWN AWAY. We had the Borch and it was sooo good! I then got the Beef Stragonof (HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF YOU LIKE BEEF AND MUSHROOMS) And I had a FOODGASM for a good 5 Minutes. I knew this place was good but OMG it really exceeded my expectations! Will definitely be back!!! Thank you guys for the amazing meal! read more

We had a banquet in this restaurant and it was a total disaster!!! Food was terrible and such a tiny portions I've never saw in any Russian restaurants ever! For such a small place they packed two parties at the same time totaling over 50 people with only two waiters!!! I had to clean empty plates from out table. We specifically ask for no pork and twice I had to remove pork from our plates. Somehow we end up with few pieces of pork on our hot meat plates and excuse I got" it somehow were mixed with your order"???? How is it possible unless we got leftovers from other table!!! Do not order escargot!! They have no idea how to make it! All together horrible experience and I'm telling all my friends to stay away from this place read more

Delivery never came, had to call several times until it arrived 2 hours later. Woman taking orders over the phone was a liar and made excuses. Food was oily and covered in the same boring sauce. Chicken Kiev was good. Never ordering from them again! read more

My husband and I made a delivery order from this restaurant. Menu sounded delicious and it was quite pricy, so we were expecting something awesome. What we got was some leftovers from the service day before. We got kharcho soup, which was bland; crapes with salmon and cream cheese tasted like it was made a couple of weeks ago; herring came without potatoes; and Olivie salad had so much mayo in it that it was impossible to eat. The only thing we kind of enjoyed were vareniki with potatoes, but I'm pretty sure they are store brought. You can predict that we are not ordering from Passage restaurant again. read more

Wonderful ethnic restaurant. Very cozy with great food, atmosfear, service and not loud beautiful music on the weekends. Presentation of food is very beautiful too. Always a pleasure to go there and price is average. Well worth it with BYOB read more

This restaurant is amazing. It's my favorite. Im French and this is real good European food

Great place! Very festive interior, super good food! Hosted private events here and was invited for multiple birthdays/baby showers/ bridal showers here and the service and food was great each time. Probably one of the first Ukrainian restaurants that have been in business for a number of years... Keep up the good work! read more

I DON'T RECOMMEND !!! The only good thing about his place is the singer! The food was just not taste at all, over salted was absolutely everything !!! I would never go there again and my family. read more

Great place to enjoy a fun night out. Good music, amazing food and a nice atmosphere. The staff is great too.

Great food, nice interior and awesome people are working here. Excellent place to celebrate a wedding or any other family occasion, some corporate events. Highly recommended. read more

Great place. I had the borscht and pelmeni, both as good as any you'd find in Ukraine or Russia.....very nice hidden gem. They were also very patient while I tried to order my food in a jumbled combination of Russian/Ukrainian and even a little Spanish thrown in (they all get mixed up in my head). I hope the owners re-tag their cuisine in Yelp as Russian / Ukrainian, as it didn't show up in the search for that type of food. read more

One of the best eastern European / Russian restaurants in town. Potato pancakes are to die for. Service is excellent. Very reasonably priced. BYOB. live music on weekend. read more

A surprising find in an unpretentious setting. Great potato pancakes, we even got an order to take home. Good menu with a broad selection of Eastern European delights. Food quality was thus far excellent, and we will be back to sample more. read more

I went to Passage for a birthday celebration. I was expecting good, European food, but what we got was disgusting. The first course, which was two plates of salad (for more than ten people to share) and one of the salads smelled horrible and had ingredients we were not informed about. The rest of the food didn't look appetizing and there wasn't a lot of it. The next course was lamp chops and potatoes. The potatoes were alright, but the lamb chops were over salted and tasted horrible. After that, a dish with different types of seafood was given and it was nothing special. As a gift, the restaurant gave the person who's birthday we were celebrating a tiny cake. They didn't provide any dessert besides that. Good thing we brought our own cake. Besides the fact that the food was terrible (and also expensive), the service was horrible too. the two servers were rude, they served food really slowly and they had a nasty attitude. Not exactly ideal service. Last thing I wanted to say was that they seated us right next to the bathroom, even though the restaurant was almost empty and had enough space for our party to sit elsewhere. I will not be dining here and I hope this review changed your mind too. If you want to go to good restaurants that serve similar food (in NE Philly), go to Uzbekistan, which serves delicious food, or go to Paris, which also has good food. I hope you found this review helpful. read more
