Borscht Soup
Vlad V.

I have been to Soup & Sausage Bistro three times. When I moved to Phoenix earlier this year, I was pleased to discover that there are several Eastern European restaurants in town. Soup & Sausage Bistro is one of them, serving Ukrainian and Polish cuisine. Parking won't be a problem in the lot they share with several other businesses. Ambiance (3/5): Don't let the simple decor or the non-descript exterior fool you. While it's a casual restaurant, and a small one at that, I'm judging this restaurant mostly on the quality of its food as Eastern European food is generally hard to come by. You order at the counter and then they bring your food to you. There are five or so tables, so tiny as I mentioned. While casual, it is homey. Service (3/5): Pretty average service. They don't check on you. They're not overly friendly. Yet, once again, it's the food I'm primarily concerned about here. Drinks (4/5): Soft drinks and Eastern European beer for the most part. They have a nice selection of Ukrainian beers, which was a first for me. I enjoyed trying something new. Food (4/5): Now for the good stuff. As you would expect, there is a lot of soup and sausage on the menu. Including some famous one like borscht and Polish kielbasa. I've also tried their chicken meatball soup which was solid, but if it's your first time, go with the borscht. Don't let the purple color (from the beets) steer you away. Beyond soup and sausage, they have a lot of other classic dishes including pierogies, chicken Kiev, potato pancakes, and blintzes. And if you're looking for something sweet, their top seller is the honey cake. As good as it sounds. Everything I've had at Soup & Sausage Bistro has been above average to great. They have some nice combos that allow you to try a variety. The prices are affordable. Join their rewards program by entering your phone number at the kiosk and you'll get deals. All in all, great value for the money. And if you've never had Eastern European food before, it's a treat.

Overall this place is good. The sausages were very dry, other than that I'd go back again. Soups and cabbage rolls were delicious.

I tried Soup & Sausage on E Bell and really enjoyed the experience. I ordered the soup combo, which came with a cup of hearty chicken soup filled with celery, potatoes, carrots and zucchini. It was warm, and delicious. The sausage bread, which came with the combo, wasn't quite my thing, but the overall meal still felt satisfying. What really stood out was the ambiance: gentle piano music playing through the speakers made the whole place feel calm and inviting. It's a lovely spot for a cozy meal. The service was friendly and fast.

Great home made bread
John T.

First time eating here, came in on a Sunday morning. Located in a shopping center with lots of parking. Table and chairs with booth tables, great for both small and large groups. Air condition is perfect, not freezing and not above room temperature. Music playing inside was instrumental piano. This is a place where you proceed straight to the front counter and place your order with the cashier. You sit wherever you like. The menu is located behind the counter above the wall as well as a menu in front of the exterior of the store near the front door in large colored photos. I ordered the hunters stew, in house made bread, French fries and fountain drink. Hunters stew was superbly tender. It is basically a large portion beef stew enough for 2 people. Portion and tastes are both impressive. French fries were amazing, salted just right and came on a full plate. Generous servings also enough for 3 people. In house made bread was a little different for me. I'm used to Cheesecake Factory style bread. The bread here was fresh and served with butter. Just good old fashioned bread, I enjoyed it greatly. Fountain drink was amazing, I had the Barq's root beer red crème soda which is something that is very rare to see. Tastes like cherry Pepsi inside a Barq's regular root beer. Service was friendly, cashier mentioned the popular items as I explained it was my first time eating there. I would highly recommend. This is amazing food from a different culture and I'm grateful that they have a location in the greater Phoenix area. Please come and support this business. Customer service is amazing!!

Potato-Cheddar pierogies (vareniki)
Ken R.

A new find for some great comfort food this evening, taking me back to my grandfather's roots in Kyiv! This place has an extensive menu, but my dinner companion and I both ordered pirogies - mine pan fried and his boiled. Both versions were delicious, served fast and in hearty portions. This is hidden a bit behind KFC, but worth tracking down. The place is clean, comfortable and simple. Service was timely and friendly.

Esti S.

The borscht was delicious it came with sour cream and a very dry bread it was an extra charge for bread (0.49) and sour cream(0.69). I did order a beef cabbage rolls it was filled with rice and almost no beef. My friend had the combination plate, the pancake was very dry and the pierogies were dry too,her beef cabbage rolls had almost no beef but lots of rice. It's took a while to get the food however the waiter was kind and polite.

Honey cake
Roger W.

Wow!!! I was working nearby and decided to give this place a try. The solyanka soup was so delicious. I had the honey cake for dessert. I could devour an entire cake by myself. The place was immaculately clean and the owner is very polite and helpful for a first timer trying Ukrainian cuisine. I travel and have tried many different food on my journeys this restaurant is one I will be returning to.

It was a smaller,…read morehole-in-the-wall, type restaurant and seemed like there wasn't anyone there...but the lady who took our order was so nice and friendly and helpful with recommendations. We dined in and watched a lot of mobile orders come in and one other group eat at the restaurant. Then we got the food. Amazing! So flavorful and delicious. It hit the spot. We shared the Hunter Stew and the dumplings. We then fought over the last bite of cake Kievskiy. If you haven't tried this cake, it's a must. It's a little crumbly, but it is like eating a malted milk ball but in cake form. So so good. We will definitely come back!

The menu features enough sausage options to think there was a factory out back. There were over 10 varieties to choose from, and after a brief existential crisis, I settled on the two sausages with sauerkraut. They were so good I immediately regretted not ordering a few more links. That's the missing link in my decision-making process. Then came the potato and cheddar pierogies. Naturally, I smothered them in bacon, sautéed onions, and sour cream because moderation is for people eating salads. Each bite tasted like a warm hug from someone's Ukrainian (grandma) who also wanted to make sure you never skipped a meal again. Just when I thought my arteries had filed for divorce, dessert arrived: a cottage cheese crepe with berry sauce that was somehow light, rich, sweet, and ridiculously good all at once. This isn't a place that wastes time trying to impress you with Edison bulbs, reclaimed wood, or a menu that describes water as "locally sourced." They let the food do the talking, and the food basically says, "Sit down, you're too skinny."

We got the pierogi plate, my favorite mushroom cabbage roll, and finally tried the delicious bread! The tarragon soda paired perfectly with the meal. We also tried the honey cake, and while I haven't loved it from other places, this one may have converted me! The ladies were juggling a thousand things but still had the biggest smiles. They're sweet but no-nonsense, which is honestly part of the charm! Have your order ready when it's your turn, this is not the time to discover you've forgotten how to make decisions lol But if you need a suggestion, they're happy to help! Ina, our waitress, was an absolute gem! Between the delicious food and the lovely ladies keeping everything moving, this place has so much character. Already looking forward to my next cold rainy day excuse to come back!

They even have a small marketplace inside, which I thought was a nice touch. It made the whole place feel more authentic. We went on a Wednesday night and were surprised to see a good early dinner crowd. We ordered the sampler plate with the beef cabbage roll, smoked Polish kielbasa, and pierogi with beef and potatoes. It was a great way to try a little bit of everything. The plate was hearty and comforting. We also ordered the beef goulash with roasted potatoes and peas, and this ended up being my favorite. It felt familiar in the best way. Rich, hearty, and well seasoned. I would definitely order that again. Overall, it was a good experience and something different from the usual spots around the area. If you're curious about Eastern European food, this is a great place to start. You don't see this type of cuisine often in Arizona, so I'm glad Mesa has it.

I used to be a Russian Jew, because when my parents came to the US as refugees, it was ALL just one big, happy, Russia dominated prison camp. Er, did I say prison camp? I meant happy smiley camp. But I digress. So imagine my surprise upon moving to Arizona when I drove past Samarkand Restaurant a block away from my apartment. I came back. I saw that it was Glat Kosher (the the highest level of kosher). Bukhara Jews from Uzbekistan. Wow! So what you get is pretty much as authentic as, Uzbeki food gets. With a Soviet twist... they have borsch. You can't eat there. Unless you're having a party. This is what local Russians - there I go again! People from the former Soviet Union - use it for. It's basically a take away place. I got the ploff and the Uzbek version of piroshki, samos which come with a delicious roast eggplant-based salsa which was probably my favorite of the dishes. All amounting to comfort food for an old soviet refugee like me. The food was good. Not spectacular but good, and the portion was large. The ploff was super traditional, except made with beef instead of lamb. The easily fixed problem? It wasn't spicy enough for me. Anyway, it was a wonderful stroll down memory lane. I'll try the borsch next time.

Lo and behold, the inside of the restaurant is a barren mess and looks as divey as the parking lot.

After awhile, someone came out and I told them I wanted to order to-go since it was clear they didn't bother setting up any tables. It was then she told me that they don't do to-go and that they can cater. I looked at the menu and it's a normal sit-down type of restaurant menu. Overall, a very peculiar and horrible experience. With how shanty and extremely shady this place is, I came out alive so I guess that's good.
