Vostok Dumpling House - Seattle

I've never had Russian food before. This place popped up on Grubhub and curiously I looked at the menu. Sweet and savory. Candied bacon. Russian fries with toppings. This was some of the best food I've ever had in my life! Can't stop thinking about it and their dumplings I'm sure will be a weekly regular. We got takeout and she took the bags out if the oven for pick up! Although we didn't dig in for about an hour later the food was still hot!

We have ordered food for delivery, but never actually been there. The food is amazing and the portions make you feel very very full. Some of our favorite dishes are Ivan the Delicious and The Bolshevik. The Leninade is a soda with funny communist propaganda 'worth standing in line for. '

First off, these guys deliver quickly, and have a very small minimum charge. They pay attention to special instructions. They will show up right at your desk, even if you are in a skyscraper, as long as lobby security will let them pass. The food is definitely of a russian nature, and has some flavor combinations that you may not have tasted before.... but generally it is DELICIOUS. Note to those that like spicy stuff... Get the KGB sauce, and get your mouth ready for the burn. Since the prices are very reasonable, and they have a low minimum, and fast delivery, I always tip the delivery guy well because he makes the effort to get right to your desk! This beats eating Jimmy John's or Subway by a mile!

For once, I have absolutely no baseline to compare a meal against, being as this was the first time I've had Russian food! Came with a few friends, where we put in an order for their pierogies, and their various pelmenis. I myself went with the chicken pelmeni, Rocky IV style, which comes with their spicy KGB sauce, bacon, and onions. If we were to compare them to Chinese dumplings, they share some similarities, but these are far richer, and the dough is far thicker. If you're down with that, then you're in business, because, otherwise, these were quite tasty. Accessibility Info Venue Upstairs, next to Marination. As far as I know, the only way to get up here is to take the elevator inside the QFC. Once inside, the place is a bit on the small side, with about three long tables to sit at. Not inaccessible, but not super accessible either if they're ever packed. Bathroom Didn't check them out.

Yes, you will sometimes wait a while to get served. But the pierogis, aka 'dumplings, ' are fresh and the sauces are innovative. The portions are also generous and served with hunks of dense bread. It 's a great place to chow down on classic pierogis.
