Love this restaurant with my whole heart! It became the place where we are celebrating our occasion, starting from christening and to every birthday in our family! The staff is very professional and caring, Peter is always there to make your experience better. Food is delicious! And don't believe reviews telling you that portions is small. Because they aren't! They are actually huge, and there will be enough for everyone! Every our celebration is 30+ guests and over 15 children. Not one guest have left hungry, and lots of leftovers is packed for you to get home. The place is tiny, and cozy. There is dancing area, and professional band! And there's enough space for huge birthday decorations! All of them we have made for our family celebrations

The restaurant was very clean and everyone always smiling ! As soon as I sat down I had waiters always making sure I did not need anything! From always giving me clean plates and silver ware and also making sure the water was always filled ! The food was extremely delish and fresh! They also had a great band playing great songs! There is also a dance floor where which was pretty neat ! Ended off with a great cup of coffee and these amazing apple pie dessert! Will be returning for sure

It was my first time at this place. My boss, Dr. Weiner, took all her dental office workers to celebrate Christmas and New Years. We all were pleasantly surprised by the good food, fun music, and modern decor of the place. Service was excellent. Highly recommend this place. Also if you need a good Masage and excellent dental work I highly recommend Envy dental spa to :)

Great party venue with delicious food and excellent service. They do their best to accommodate customers. They also provide live music which caters to the crowd but from my experience is mostly Ukrainian, which is wonderful. Keep up the good work!

Came on a Thursday night a few minutes before closing and they had such a large selection of…read moreUkrainian goodies! the staff were still hard away making dumplings in the back. Once stepping into the store, you are met with large freezers and fridges stuffed to the brim with all things Ukrainian. Many of their dumpling items are in large packages (2-3lbs a pack) and range from $8-$15 per lb depending on the filling. $15 a pound for their lamb and short rib Pierogis. Price-wise, it's very fair! And you can taste to quality and heart they put into these Pierogis. Can't go wrong with any flavor. I got the lamb and it was stuffed with tender lamb pieces, no filler. And they make for great quick meals! I also snagged a box of cabbage rolls stuffed with a pork and rice filling. Simple home-y flavor and better than rolls I've gotten from restaurants. Just reheat and it's ready to go! $15 for 5 large cabbage rolls was a great deal as well! Would get again. The only thing I wouldn't get again is their soup dumplings, as it was a bit difficult to cook and was a little too doughy near the top of the dumpling. Flavor wise, it was delicious and had a nice broth (assuming you didn't pop them. Only 1 didn't pop). But it was a difficult item to cook right in boiling water, like the instructions mention. Perhaps, user error. Every item is sold by weight and labeled after selecting your items. But they're happy to check the weight/explain price before purchasing.

The people who work at Varenyk House are nice and not chatty. There isn't seating available. I was…read morejust in the other day and it looks like they got a bunch of new freezers and offer hot food to go now, too, not just fresh frozen!

Thr staff is nice and has that old school feel as it should since it's been around so long. The pierogies are really good, and I personally prefer them steamed, though you can also get them fried. I tried the egg noodles for the first time last night along with a four-piece order of potato pierogies. The onion and sour cream on the side are a must for the potato pierogies, and definitely ask for butter and mushroom gravy for the egg noodles. It makes for such a warm, comforting meal! There's so much more on the menu I still want to try. I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the East Village!

We shared the pierogies (highly recommend the goat cheese and arugula one--make it a full meal with kielbasa sausage, caramelized onions, and sour cream), and tried the matzo ball soup, which tasted just like home. Don't miss the Bloody Marys either--so good! The food here was so similar to what my mom makes, which made it a special and comforting stop for me. Yes, it was super busy, but honestly, where in NYC isn't? The wait was actually shorter than at other spots we tried. If you're planning a trip or live nearby, I definitely recommend checking out this cute little restaurant!

I had a cup of borscht and an order of dumplings, which were both great. The borscht was something I will crave for a while. The broth just had an incredible, balanced flavor. I thought since my food was pretty warm up and serve, that it would be a quick meal, but the service was pretty slow. I sat and waited a while. It was Mother's Day, so I think they were busier than usual with catering orders and moms and grandmas stopping by for desserts for brunch at home. So the pace of service may have been affected/out of ordinary for that reason. For those visiting for the first time: Take a look at the menu upstairs on the sidewalk before going down to the restaurant, because there was only menu downstairs at the counter where you order, so anyone coming for the first time will have to flip through the menu while holding up the line to order unless they know what they want already. When you go downstairs, the restaurant is behind the first door to your left; it's not well-marked. A lot of reviews say it's cash-only, but that may have been under the prior owners/management, because they definitely took credit cards/Apple Pay when I was there last weekend. If you love Ukrainian food, Streecha is well worth a visit. I love its no frills, classic approach to dining. It's a great option for a casual lunch if you're in the area and are craving some Eastern European fare.

My last time to Brighton beach was well over 20 years ago. I remember it well. All of the…read morestorefronts with. Cyrillic writing, clothes, food with wonderful smells, trays and trays of caviar, just bursting out the door. And, a Starbucks. Today, not too many Eastern European businesses are left. Now, it's banks, cellular, provider, stores urgent care, a 7-11, even a Popeyes freaking fried chicken. Oh, and the Starbucks is still there. After walking out of a very bad experience at imereti Georgian cafe down the street (see separate review) I found this place. Boy, am I glad I did. I was seated in the front. The restaurant was gorgeous. ! I could hear a beautiful voice singing, Eastern European songs in the back of the restaurant and at one point,, he switched to Elvis's "I can't help falling in love with you" in English. That made me a little emotional, because that was my late partner's and my song... Anyway, I decided to go for the crêpes with red caviar (salmon roe), and the Ukrainian borscht. Bread and butter is brought to my table. The white bread was OK, but the brown bread had a deep rich flavor. The crêpes come first, and they were amazing. The crêpes were very warm, soft and delicious. I loved the "red caviar". A little bit salty, more briny than fishy, and a wonderful explosion of flavor when the eggs "pop." in the mouth. I was very happy. Next came the borscht. It had cabbage, beets, potatoes, and either beef or pork. I'm not sure which one. The meat , beets and potatoes was very tender, and the soup was delicious and not too rich. A very satisfying flavor., the beets gave it a little bit of an earthy flavor. The sour cream that came with it, just added a creamy richness to it without overtaking the flavor of the borscht. 1000% a home run. Dinner wasn't cheap. Two dishes, two iced teas (I found out they charge for refills), and tax, and it came out to about $48 before tip, .I didn't care. I don't mind paying extra if the food is that good, and this food was absolutely beyond awesome. I would be glad to come back and try other items on the menu. Thank you!

I have said this before and I will say it again, good food will only get you so far…read more That is putting it politely. Yes, the food is good. I enjoyed everything I ate, except some of it is on the saltier side, especially the pelmeni (a Russian tortellini). This was my first time eating these and I can say this is something I enjoyed. The Duck Legs are tasty, especially with the candied orange on top. It is not very boney and the portion of buckwheat received is generous and I ate every bit of that. The cheese blintzes are dense but also are a nice way to finish up. Free bread is served when you walk in and I ate this to an overall mixed result. The stumbling block for this restaurant is the service. Considering I was the only diner here during dinner, that is telling. The servers seemed to forget I was there and I often had to ask them to get me water. It was not until the third time I asked and was 45% of the way through my meal where they finally got it to me. The Kompot I got I enjoyed, but a cherry juice drink is not going to quench my thirst. Water will. I was also confused on how the meal is served. Perhaps that falls on me for a lack of cultural knowledge, but failing in the water game falls on them. It was only until the very end of the meal where I felt any sense of value here. The 1970's interior is something I did appreciate. All I needed was Russian caviar and the smell of cigars to take me back to a time when this was my fathers' Brighton Beach. However, I cannot endorse lackluster service. That is the biggest reason I will not be back, despite everything else.

It took a longer than I expected to be offered a drink or to ask what I want. But after I ordered, the food, came out extremely fast. I started reading a book and I didn't even get to the third page before it came out. The crostata was absolutely delicious. It was blueberry lemon, I didn't think I could eat three pancakes for the order so I decided to go with that and it was just the right size. Crisp, sweet, tart, crunchy, it was a perfect little treat for myself. Most definitely would order again. The BEC pierogies were tasty, but I felt like I should've at least gotten seven or eight for $16. That's 2.50 a dumpling for 6. I wish I had more for the price point or at least that they were more filled with stuffing, like it's eggs. I'm not disappointed just I was still slightly hungry when I left, which is not what I wanna feel after paying $38 for breakfast with tip. Not unreasonably priced just you don't feel like you're getting a good bargain is all. They are handmade. I'll give them that. The service was lovely. I may be back to try some other things, I would love to try the latkes. It was a cute environment for sure, Ukrainian diner vibes. I'm not in Williamsburg very often but it was a nice change of pace.
