The perfect cozy, warm meal for a bone-chilling Chicago winter day. The borscht was delicious and came with two buttery rolls. We also got the potato and cheese varenyky which were so tasty. The honey cake was alright, but a bit dry. I would like to have tried the cherry varenyky instead. All around a very cozy atmosphere, and the server was so friendly and attentive.

So I finally got the opportunity to try the Ukrainian restaurant that I kept seeing. Originally I was going to go for Chinese but I’m getting tired and I was going to eat Piece Pizza in Bucktown but the weather is just not good on a snowy day. I just came from my job and luckily I was at O’Hare and decided to think of this place and looked up to find out if they were open. So far everything was delicious and unique compared to other Eastern European cuisines I tried.The Ukrainian borscht beet soup had a herbal earthy taste that was pleasant it wasn’t as rich strong taste as Polish or German Borsch soup where they don’t use Red Beets. Especially when they added I think sour cream on top with the beets. Their version of mashed potatoes surprisingly is not so starchy and heavy.It’s very light and I guess they sprinkle chives?I kind of compare it to Polish Mashed potatoes but there is a little thicker and heavier. They’re Apple Crepes was not like American or thick crepes at American restaurants. It had a unique, sweet taste with confection sugar and it was not full of sauce or apple filing. They had two bread rolls they gave me and I like the second one. It was very hot and light and not too heavy. The other one was more like a pumpernickel or barley bread which is okay to but I felt like heavy stiff bread. The stewed liver with the beets as a side dish was very delicious and not made like liver and onions I noticed Red Beets is a staple in Ukraine just like Russia. Surprisingly delicious. Ambience is quaint and small. Service from the staff on the other hand was good on what they made and cooked but they were terrible on explaining all the different dishes for somebody who’s not Ukrainian. I just kept getting a lot of head nods of “Yes” or “No” and no explanation of the food or how it’s cooked or what’s the ingredients? They didn’t seem enthusiastic to explain. That is my only disappointment because if I want to order something in the menu I don’t want to risk ordering something I don’t like or can get sick. Which they should be considerate if they want other customers to come in that are non Ukrainian or other ethnic background willing to try their food or cuisine. I would come back but it’s just that was my only dislike or disappointment thus four out of five stars. Otherwise, it’s kind of like a combination of a Polish cuisine too and other Eastern European dishes like Hungarian or Bulgarian cuisine.

I’m Visiting from Detroit, MI, and I was so excited to check this place out. I came here with a Ukrainian friend Volodymyr Dolynka who gave me a menu tour. It was my first time visiting the place and I had an excellent experience. Super fast service! The food was tasty, quick, and hot! I’m definitely going back for more!
