a week agoThis place is a staple of Juneau. I loved it each time I went while living there. The bread, spices, sour cream, especially the dumplings hit the spot. I also liked the dive sort of atmosphere in the shop, clean and not gaudy. Sometimes I dream about this food and can't wait to go back to visit, because this will be on the menu for the trip!

3 weeks agoExcellent spot! Pel’meni is a very nostalgic dish for me. I travel frequently and it’s difficult to find decent pel’meni in many parts of the country. This place hit the spot! I took my mom and her friend here while visiting and discovered a crowd pleaser! Quick service, cozy atmosphere; simple food done well. The girl working the front counter was so sweet and welcoming! Protect her and this place at all costs. Highly recommended

a month agoWe were here back in 2022. Back then, it seemed unreal to encounter something so familiar and so precisely executed on such a remote location. And I still remember that dumpling shop 2.5 years later, because it left such an impression. If you're Slavic and somehow ended up here, it's your duty to stop by.
