KANAPA restaurant is a part of the diverse culinary scene in Ukraine, offering new Ukrainian cuisine. Situated on Andrews Descent, one of Kiev's renowned streets, the restaurant encapsulates the area's historical and artistic ambiance. With its focus on new Ukrainian cuisine, KANAPA provides an authentic dining experience amidst a wide array of restaurants in Ukraine that serve delectable dishes and refreshing beverages with top-notch service.
Kanapa Restaurant is a fantastic spot right on Andriivsky Descent, perfect for a traditional Ukrainian lunch. The food is made with love, and the borscht—served in a cabbage head—is a real highlight. The atmosphere is cozy with a touch of vintage charm, making it a great place to relax and enjoy an authentic meal. I’ll definitely be back!

Had the tasters menu + oysters. Really good choice - warmly recommended! The tasters is a very nice assortment that exposes you to a variety of Ukrainian dishes and customs. And the place looks good too. Priced affordable relative to western Europe.
Diana O — Google review
Actually good. We tried Kiev chicken and grilled beef, some tomato salad and herring... Bill came at nearly 1000 hrn, so probably not super affordable, but... Location is nice, the place itself is very nice, service is good, and the bill itself felt kind of reasonable, not shocking, as sometimes is the case here... If you have tourist guests and need to take them to a place with good Ukrainian food, this one might be it. I would probably like more simple Ukrainian dishes on the menu, like the chicken Kiev was, but overall good.
Kemal S — Google review
Superb food with great playfulness (try the edible candles). Service is great with staff speaking good English. Live music increases the atmosphere in the already beautiful place, but if you want to talk, get a table in the charming side room. Costs more than most places in town, but well worth it.
Magnus O — Google review
My favourite restaurant in Kiev! I went here twice, and both times the meal was incredible and the service was so accommodating, nice and attentive. Can highly recommend the root salad (it doesn't sound like much but it is incredible and the cheese topping makes for a smoky show), and cherry dumplings for dessert!
Vivienne M — Google review
I've chosen the place because of its good recommendations. First, the place is good, but not that great as lots of people write. Overall, it's a good place for Ukrainian food, and maybe other dishes are much better than the ones I had. The Kraut Vareniky were the best dish I ordered, very recommendable. The rest was nothing special.
Tom V — Google review
I can definitely say that it is one of the best lamb meats I have ever eaten. The fact that it is crispy on the outside and cooked very well must be a separate skill. Apart from this, the rabbit meat borsch soup was also very successful. CiHo served as dessert is very light and delicious. a place that deserves a lot of thanks
Ercan C — Google review
Great service and lovely ambiance. Feels very cozy and romantic as if you are in a mountain cabin (Schalet). I had a glass of the Portugal red wine. Although it priced lowest, it was surprisingly smooth and slightly sweet (similar to Georgian wine). I loved it. Food was overall good. Not the most creative but all flavored well. A basket of bread was only 19 UAH and served nicely warm. Highly recommend it.

Middle Eastern restaurant
Restaurant
Musafir is a popular restaurant in Kiev that offers traditional Crimean Tatar cuisine. It has become a favorite among locals since its opening by the Seyitveliev family, who are settlers from Crimea. The menu features authentic Tatar dishes such as chebureks, yantyks, manty, kebab, and pilaf. The restaurant's relocation from Bakhchysaray to Kyiv in May 2015 has not diminished its popularity.
A must-visit when you’re in Kyiv. Super authentic and delicious Crimean Tatar food, with great service, a cozy interior, and a convenient location. This Musafir is usually busier than the others — there’s often a line and no free tables — so I’d recommend checking out a nearby one if you want to avoid the wait. My go-to is always the cheburek and yantyk combo. They also have great vegan and Lenten-friendly options.
Sophie S — Google review
What an authentic and special place! You can really get a touch of Crimean culture here. The food is very good and the service is great! Note that there is no alcohol but the restaurant allows you to bring your alcohol absolutely for free. Just one of the peculiarities of this spot. Nevertheless the food is very tasty. Didn’t really like the lamb chops though, was a bit chewy. But the rest was good.
Veronica D — Google review
A very welcoming cafe. This is a bright representative of the family of restaurants serving homemade traditional Crimean Tatar cuisine. This is not the first time I have been visiting. They make me happy every time. The prices are very reasonable. The dishes are always fresh and tasty. They cook quickly. There are always a lot of visitors here. The staff is friendly and professional. The service is fast and attentive. I recommend the grilled meat menu, soup with small dumplings, manti, chebureki.

BAO • Modern Chinese Cuisine is a trendy restaurant in Kiev, Ukraine, known for its focus on modern Chinese cuisine. Founded by chef Hector Jimenez-Bravo, the eatery offers a variety of dishes such as dim sum, shu mai, noodle dishes and Peking duck. The open kitchen allows diners to see their food being prepared. The restaurant's modern interior is designed by the YOD Design Studio and features communal tables inspired by Asian bamboo forests.
I like this place, I've been here not for the first time. It's very tasty here. The interior is exquisite. The collection of figurines is like an exhibition in a gallery. The modern art installation above the long common table amazes me. This place inspires me. I tried Peking duck here, it's delicious. I tasted something else, but I forgot. But everything is delicious. And the prices, the prices are worth this beauty and harmony!

Everything is perfect. I loved my birthday celebration here . The food was amazing, the service was over the top the atmosphere was great. The only thing is that Ector wasn’t there. But everything was amazing overall. I highly recommend the duck, dim sums and the apple like dessert. I leave everything else to the staff. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

The food was delicious; however, I expected a more authentic taste. The taste seems to be adapted for Ukrainian or European visitors. The staff is super friendly and open. They can even cook dishes that aren't on the menu! Great people and a stylish place.

The food and service did not disappoint. I ordered the Hong Kong soup and salad with duck and citrus fruits, the combination of flavors is excellent, soup with shrimp dumplings and cilantro, on top of buns with a pleasant spiciness. The balance of mushy breast with chili and fruit is simply divine. I don't like sweets, but even the dessert tasted good. The great location for a delicious and aesthetic dinner. We chose a table with a view of the open kitchen. Enjoying the stylish interior and the work of the team at the same time is a great idea.

Absolutely amazing restaurant with great and experienced service. The menu has your staple Chinese dishes, so if you are a regular of Chinese restaurants, you will not need much time to make up your mind. The food balances the traditional recipes with fresh new ingredients delicately crafted on the plate. Our favorite appetizer were the crispy duck spring rolls. The best entree was the kung pao shrimp, and for dessert, the mousse with coconut milk, mango purée and Thai basil. The drink menu is where you will spend most of your time deciding, as all drinks are unique to this restaurant. Whichever you pick, you will be impressed. Our favorite was the Bao Spritz which is made with a house-made bitter liquor and comes a grapefruit sorbet in a passion fruit shell. Not a ding to this rating, but a few recommendations. Rice: they do not bring steamed rice unless you ask for it; something so central to Asian cuisine should come with all entrées. Dumplings: good, but not great; they have not yet cracked the code on how to make them special. We were expecting the shrimp dumplings to have the soup inside. Singaporean rice: missed a key ingredient-chili peppers
Andres G — Google review
This was my first time here. The service was good despite how busy it was. The food was very tasty and my Mongolian beef was the most tender meat ever. They put real gold on top of my dessert. I came back another time for soup snd deep fried duck spring rolls. They are now my favorite spring rolls.

The chain is famous for its fresh, homemade Ukrainian food available for dine-in, takeout, or frozen purchase. With a wide selection of tea, coffee, cakes, cookies, alcohol drinks, and simple cocktails at reasonable prices.
Best Ukrainian cuisine food chain. They serve everything fresh (food cooked and displayed for you to choose ). Meal for 1 will be around 100 grivnas and it's amazing price. Great choice of tea & coffee & cakes & cookies & alcohol drinks & simple cocktails. Located just in front of train station. Places to charge phone available. Washroom available.

Arguably one of the best, most convenient, fastest and value-for-money places to get Ukrainian food. The buffet-style ordering can maybe be a little intimidating for foreigners nervous about their local language skills but went with someone local so it wasn't an issue - customer service is almost always great in Ukraine if you need help anyways. Went twice in one week and would happily have gone a third.

BARVY is a stylish restaurant located near the Klovska metro station, offering refined and modern Ukrainian cuisine. It has received a prestigious culinary SALT award and is known for its excellent food and cozy atmosphere. The menu features traditional Ukrainian dishes like salo, Danube herring with mashed potatoes, and red borsch, as well as specialties from different regions of Ukraine such as Transcarpathia, Galicia, Bukovina, Odesa, and Crimean Tatar cuisine.
Defiantly fancy but worth it. The food is modern and artsy with multicoloured dough for vareniki and sometimes over the top presentation. But man is it good! The borscht was wonderful and the boar and wild mushroom stuffed cabbage rolls with cream sauce were a real dream. The cocktails are also the best I’ve had in Kyiv! They were perfect. Staff was super.

The place is very nice and cool, although it is quite expensive. Prices are a little bit higher than average. Cuisine is very nice and delicious. One thing that confused me is the new of the fish and a drink below it. At first, I thought that it should be served together, but no, I was wrong. Waiters are super nice and polite. Location is also very nice because it is very close to the city center.

The meals where all above standard. The potatoes with a light truffle taste the brioche from burger was very tasty but not good for a burger. That’s maybe why they hand out plastic gloves for eating. The Barvy cake was outstanding tasty. Wit a lot hazelnuts. I think a real calories bomb! I can recommend this restaurant 100%

Dinning out in Kyiv, well many excellent restaurants. Barvy one of them. A nice blend of Ukrainian traditional and modern cuisine. Well known restaurant within the dinning out community. Location not bad, not the best, but accessible just by walking from the city centre. Interior design modern and table layout allow for romantic date, small parties and for those dinners who would like dine next to the band playing live music especially on weekends. Sitting in the bar counter a nice option too. Quality of food is excellent. So why three stars, right? It is the service, yet again an overall spread disease in Ukraine. I tend to speak to managers. Investing in a restaurant should go along with investing in staff and service approach. Staff spoke English but couple of orders went wrong. Not busy but server forgot to bring few drinks. My advise don't assume servers understand you, but be specific and simple when you place an order. Last but not least, don't mix culinary with POLITICS! I let you check the photos attached to have your own opinion on this. Would I go again? Yes food is delicious, but have a word with the manager. Enjoy!

Nam Modern Vietnamese Cuisine offers a sophisticated dining experience with contemporary Vietnamese meals, global wines, and cocktails in an airy setting. The restaurant specializes in adventurous Southeast Asian cuisine, featuring dishes like Tim Sam dumplings, juicy Nem rolls, and classic Pho soup with crab meat. Additionally, the menu includes wok-seared sweet and sour chicken or lamb paired with papaya salad for a nourishing breakfast option.
One of our best experiences while in Kyiv. A place that we wanted to go to for awhile and wish we didn’t wait so long to visit. The initial impression was this spot was unique with very interesting levels of seating around the bar. The vibe, music (live dj), attention to detail, and service were second to none. We felt like we were invited by friends to the coolest place where we were waited on like there wasn’t anyone else there. The service was perfect, the drinks were amazing and this was before we even had a chance to peruse the food menu. We wanted to order everything as each page looked better than the previous one. The food was outstanding and my mouth is watering as I write this review thinking about the delicious meal we shared. The experience left me wishing I was still in Kyiv and I was in an uber heading to dinner now. We recommend you dress up, take your special someone to NAM and order as many dishes as you can to enjoy the full experience. We are not fans of hookah (only negative as the patron next to me was blowing smoke in my face the entire time), but if you are, this is another option that they offer. Can’t wait until I get to visit again.

At first, chairs are not comfortable to eat, only for drink. They offered wine, I asked for a red wine, obviously the guy gave me the most expensive wine in the whole menu (580, 150ml), wine was not put into the glass in front of me, I think I got some cheap regular sweet wine instead. Didn't like it at all. Overpriced. Payment application by QR code was declined. Not safe to pay, my VPN sent automatically blocked it. Waited 15min for payment. Not Vietnamese food, average regular and overpriced. Mosquitos everywhere.

Modern Vietnamese fusion in the center of Kyiv. Located in a tastfully decorated building over at least 3 floors, the atmosphere was chic, modern and cozy, but with sufficient privacy and enough soft furnishings to keep the noise down and conversations flowing. A superb cocktail selection and wine list compliment the unique and imaginative menu. Every dish was fresh and presented beautifully and the taste was delicious. I had read many reviews of Nam suggesting service was an issue but I did not find this to be the case. We had a party of 6, and I asked our waiter to select dishes and matching cocktails for us - this was a very good decision and our waiter clearly knew the menu, and was also able to provide some dishes not in the menu. Overall a 5-star experience and 5-star food worthy of a repeat visit. Expensive $$$ but worth it.

The prices are on par with New York (Manhattan specifically) but it’s absolutely worth it. The food was mouth watering and the presentation was phenomenal. I’m surprised this place doesn’t have a Michelin star yet. If you are looking for a nice date spot with some incredible food, Nam is the place to go.

Nice and cozy place with vietnamese kitchen. First floor is bar and second is restaurant. You can use both for food. But I prefer second one. Food is not suuuper delicious, but for Kiev it’s really good. Middle price is 12-15€. That’s normal price but for Kiev a little bit expensive. Friendly stuff. Huge space, for a lot of people. But it was empty. Interior looks very nice and was playing good music.

Enjoy this place every time , probably my favorite spot overall in Kyiv. Especially seafood is superb here with all this brilliant ideas how to serve and unexpected tastes 🙂 interior is quite interesting mix- huge open spaces combined with oriental decorations make interesting effect and modo for enjoying your meal . Staff is top professional with ...bonuses, was really suprised when young waiter started speaking fluent French with French Friend of mine . It is not cheap but prices absolutely justified and still not too schemacie. 5/5 without any doubt.

If you're wandering through Kyiv, make sure to stop by Anahata Fine Foods, a charming vegan café nestled in the cozy underground Metrograd mall. This delightful spot not only offers a variety of scrumptious dishes but also caters to gluten-free diets with options like quinoa instead of pita. The atmosphere is inviting, perfect for enjoying a meal with loved ones or simply relaxing with good Wi-Fi and comfortable seating.

Love this place! Authentic Ukrainian cuisine and a perfect atmosphere that suits every need: there's a quiet zone, a live music area in the evenings, a romantic section, and more. The food is absolutely delicious—personally, I think it's the best in the city. The service is top-notch, and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. Since it's a very popular spot, I recommend booking in advance.

Visited in Feb 2021, before the current escalation of conflict. I was an avid whisky connoisseur and this place blew my mind. An experience I still think about. The Good -Welcoming Five Star service from the outset -Extensive range of the very scotch -Highly knowledgeable staff. I overheard them guiding some americans through the whisky menu with top-level knowledge -Fine dining food selection. The 'British Pie' was tender, delicately wrapped in a light pastry and had a depth of flavour from the 'Smoky Scot'. A wonderful dish. -The price. If you're used to fine dining in major cities of the world, then you'll be pleasantly surprised when the bill comes. High end food, mid range pricing. The Bad Nothing. Visit and support this fine establishment. Greg's Tip Try the Quil Egg with a Jura

Quite expensive, frankly speaking, but totally worth it - the best whiskey place in Ukraine! I couldn't check if all 900 names are there, but they are plenty indeed! Special regards to the waiters, who do know their whiskey and can offer good recommendation and add a nice story to it. Food is also very good - the meat was fine and on request a creamy spinach was added as a side, despite it wasn't on the menu. Keep up the good work!

A very interesting establishment. First time I tried this kind of food. Ice cream is not cow's milk and cream. Very tasty like a high quality ice cream made in the traditional way. But everything is made on the basis of coconut milk! 👍😄 I recommend. The room is not big inside. There is also a veranda near the entrance to the street. This vegan cafe is not designed for long gatherings. Fast food buffet system. Surprisingly, there are many guests here on Sunday evening (17.00-19.00). Meat burger based on vegetable protein! Great taste. Indistinguishable from a regular meat burger. I recommend this buffet.

I was so excited to go to this place and see a menu full of vegan stuff for a fair price. Saying I was disappointed is an understatement. This unappetizing food is their “Buddha bowl”. Cold, soggy, not fresh and very salty. Also had a burger which tasted fine but was cold away. Do not recommend.

The girl that works there is so nice and smiley, she speaks English very well which is a rare thing in kiev, I got the bacon burger (soy steak topped with grilled tofu and vegetables), it was amazing! Every thing was Fast, warm, tasty and healthy.. the bun was soft also. I really liked that they have all the nutrients and calories written on the menu for each meal.. it was the best vegan soy steak I've ever had! I tried the falafel also it was good but a bit dry. And the orange juice was so fresh and tasty. I took the green 13 burger (tofu,pesto, mshrooms and vegetables) take away with me.. and even though I'm not a fan of tofu but it was amazingly delicious and filling ❤

One of the best vegan fast food you can get out there. The place might be hard for foreigners to find but you just have to find the entrance to the market inside.

Great vegan food! It looks a bit weird, I admit. You won't expect much from a place that is small and is located inside of an old school market. But you should disregard all of it and try. I had their Green 13 burger with tofu, mushrooms and tartar sauce (twice) and it's great! I also had one of their rolls and candies. And a coffee :) Very good. I wish they get a better place, though I believe this is just a matter of time.

The food is ok but I can feel more taste. I have tried green burger with a tofu cheese and hummus with beetroot falafel, hummus by itself is just very average and dry, but the beatroot falafel is tasty and it save the dish.

What is good - finally one of the Arsenal’s buildings brought back to life. And now to food: As far as I understand from answers of the owner the concept was to combine restaurants with the best food in one place. I’m not sure this worked: to combine trendy places - maybe yes, but that does not necessarily mean they have the best food. Some sushi rolls for example in the range of 500 UAH and it was ok Chicken Kyiv around 140 though it was tasty. Pasta around 200 and it was ok Also got a dessert from Milkbar and it was a huge disappointment! I do understand the place is not directly responsible for the taste of food their vendors sell, but if you want only places with great food, what does this does do here?! And service was bad (though at this particular place) Lack of toilets (please do not start to tell about the “state standards”) but they are clean with paper towels and this is good No parking lot. There was a comment of an owner that it is being organized, but this is the matter - normally we shall expect all the infrastructure to be launched simultaneously with the place. But of course, parking lot will not bring those profits, so let the guests with this pain of finding a spot. Also smell: we spent there 3 hours I guess, on the second floor and my coat and scarf smell with food like I was at the kitchen. Okay, this place not a disaster - nice design, lively, nice people. But did it manage to bring all the best food in one place - no. Did it manage to deliver good price/quality - no. May pop in for a coffee and a chat with friends but for food better go to some other places.

Pho Bo is my comfort food wherever I go... Viet Bar's Pho Bo doesn't disappoint me! I have eaten there 3 times in less than 2 months and each time the broth were just perfect! The broth is flavourful and portion just perfect for me. Spring roll taste yummy too, although I prefer the fried spring roll better - but that's just my personal preference. The restaurant is located in the basement, with uninspiring interior but still comfortable seating. When the restaurant gets busy, you may have to peek into the kitchen to find the waitress or just wait a bit. The male waitress speaks English and very efficient. We once ordered and it was misinterpreted by the waitress who brought out a different food. We notified him that the order was incorrect. Restaurant quickly brought the food back to kitchen and came back to us saying it was free. Then, they cooked the correct order. What a service conscious restaurant!! I would highly recommend you to try their food!

Great if you want kids sized pho and undercooked chicken. We ordered the Tom kha soup (they call it soup with coconut milk, chicken, and mushrooms), the Pho Bo XXL (large size on top of that) and was greeted with what had to be the world's smallest bowl of pho. The chicken in the Tom Kha soup had a few undercooked pieces but was a normal portion. The fried rice noodles i had with shrimp and chicken had exactly two tiny overcooked shrimp. Flavour was passable but mediocre and service was slow but otherwise unremarkable.

The establishment did not impress. We tried to come here on Sunday, March 09, 2025. The menu did not load after scanning the QR code with the smartphone camera. It was not possible to get acquainted with the range of dishes. Wi-Fi did not provide access to the Internet, which also became an obstacle to studying the menu. The premises are not large, pleasant design, but the air is not properly purified. An unpleasant smell of fried food in vegetable oil comes from the kitchen. So far, it does not make me want to return to this establishment again.

If you consider visiting the restaurant for a BBQ, I highly recommend making a reservation.  It's a popular spot that offers a unique experience for locals.  I've had to settle for a seat at the bar a few times because I didn't book in advance. Initially, I was skeptical about their food.  However, they exceeded all my expectations.  Grilling high-quality meat over genuine charcoal—how could you go wrong?  The availability of soju enhanced the nostalgic experience. One of the highlights was their ramen, which surpassed that of many other Korean restaurants I've visited in different countries.  It featured a strong shiitake mushroom base and just the right amount of broth, firm noodle texture, topped with an egg yolk.  It truly felt as though there was a Korean chef in the kitchen. Should I have the opportunity to visit the city again, I would love to return to this restaurant.  In the meantime, it is my pleasure to recommend this establishment to those who can.

Just steps away from vibrant bars, this restaurant offers an inviting atmosphere with its beautifully decorated interior and cozy outdoor terrace—ideal for warm evenings. The menu boasts an array of delicious dishes, including standout options like chicken shashlik, catering to both meat lovers and vegetarians alike. Guests rave about the generous portions and exquisite presentation that make every meal memorable.
We had dinner here & it’s wonderful. The foods are delicious with good portions and presentation. Vegan and vegetarian meals are available. The staff are efficient and smiley. The place has hookah & seems that during winter they have it indoors. So if you don’t like the smoke, you can ask seating at free smoke area. The place is big, has outdoor seating for more warmer seasons.

Nestled in a vibrant setting, Chang is a delightful eatery that radiates warmth and charm with its bright decor and inviting red chairs. Specializing in long-simmered Vietnamese pho along with an array of rice and noodle dishes, this restaurant offers a unique dining experience. The name "Chang," which means elephant in Thai but also signifies "firstborn" in some Vietnamese dialects, reflects the owners' pride as it marks their inaugural venture.
Top class restaurant. The interior is contemporary and balanced, unlike many Kiev restaurants that overdo it a little. This restaurant is perfect for a casual date, dinner with friends or a family outing. Our waiter obviously cared about the food he was serving, was even proud of it, explaining to us what dishes went best with what. Made us feel very good about being there and crucially wasn’t overbearing - just right. The food was exceptional. Fresh, colourful and opulent in flavour. All dishes were garnished with a garden of fresh herbs and every dish tasted and looked freshly prepared. Highly recommend the pork nems and sweet and sour chicken rice.

Just had a great experience at Chang. We went there without any expectations and without knowing the place. Seems to be quite popular as there were quite a lot of guests even on a Monday night. Still we got very good service. The waitress was very nice, very attentive, and spoke very good English. The food (noodle salad and two variants of spring rolls) was excellent and the desserts (cheesecake and mango/passionfruit mousse) were to die for. Дуже дякую. I'm sure we will be back.

Some of the best Vietnamese food I've had, if you're in Kiev then this place is definitely worth a visit. Staff were very friendly (especially given we didn't speak the language!).

Awesome restaurant/bar! The food is really good and the service was good. It was quite busy when we came, and we have to wait at the bar for like 5 minute, despite having a reservation, but they brought some complementary drinks while we were waiting.

I don't think is like the more traditional Vietnamese food but is very nice and quiet original anyway.

They should not sell food in bad condition. I bought a portion of octopus that they told me was fresh that day, I could only take a bite and spit it out immediately. It was rotten and its smell was not good at all. I have read many comments about food poisoning in supermarkets in Ukraine, with all types of meats, not only seafood. In other countries, supermarkets, if fresh food is not sold during the day, usually will put half-price or more on sale in the last hours before closing, instead of throwing away the food (which most supermarkets in Ukraine do sadly or trying to sell food/meats that are not fresh for days at full price). If they put discounts according to their expiration date, they could move the stock and have food suitable for consumption in all cases. The same with chicken I wanted to buy, was in the refrigerator, but it has been packaged for more than 7 days and its appearance was not fresh. After the second or third day, they should put discount stickers on the meats or those items that will be gone soon. After this experience, I will not buy any prepared meat at the supermarket again until I see changes in the way they move stock according to its expiration date, at most salads if they look fresh.

Chinese restaurant
If you're on the hunt for a culinary treasure in Kyiv, look no further than Bruce Lee. Nestled in a cozy basement on Gorkoho Street, this restaurant has become a local favorite thanks to its inviting atmosphere and friendly staff. While you might not find many Chinese faces among the waitstaff—mostly Ukrainian—the food is undeniably delightful.
This restaurant is a gem because of the fantastic people who work there. I accidentally noticed their outdoor menu on my way from “Favorite Uncle” restaurant which is around the corner. I was intrigued by Korean barbecue and decided to come in and see if it’s a real Korean barbecue. And it really was! The hostess guy who met me at the entrance was extremely sweet with a smile on his happy face and he showed me how everything looked inside because I was looking for nice place to meet with my friend that night. When we came there the same night it was not disappointing at all! Our waitress Stella was above and beyond! First of all, she is very welcoming and has a warm personality. She described meals with so much excitement that I wanted to try them all! I got a feeling that she loves her workplace a lot, so I was excited to stay there with my friend for quite a while. Secondly, Stella was very sincere describing meals. I’ve been to plenty of restaurants and being a good cook myself, it’s hard to deceive me when it comes to the quality of food. I really appreciate her honesty. I ordered much more then I planned, even the food she didn’t recommend for my taste, but I had so much fun! The atmosphere in this restaurant is like you came to a place in your neighborhood where everyone knows you. It’s definitely not for everyone, but if you’re tired of pathos the same as I am, you’ll love the vibes of this place. It’s very relaxing and feels like home.

UPDATE: 4 Feb 2020. Since my last review in 2019, Bruce Lee has had a change of management/ownership, renovation, and new menu. Service has improved. The servers are more professional now compared to before when I always felt like the people there serving me were just friends of the owner with some time to kill. The menus are now glossy photo books with Chinese and non-Chinese offerings, further cementing it as a middle-market establishment better suited to the non-discerning. They have retained several of the dishes from the old menu that were closer to authentic Chinese and, as before, they are okay. Still go there out of convenience. OLD: Standards in service and food not very high. I go there out of convenience in location. Mid-market. Dining room adequately comfortable. Some dishes more authentic so it helps to know the menu.

They sure took their time cooking our dishes. Dishes themselves are fine, but don't always meet their description.

1. When we entered, the place smelled like overheated fat. The odour of burnt oil and weird interior with a flair of Provence mixed with Chinese decor, unfortunately, did not stop my cravings for Chinese food. 2. Waiting time for a soup and a chicken dish was over 50 min (there were two people in the whole restaurant). Both dishes tasted okay, but had little in common with Chinese cuisine. This Europeanised way of cooking is okay, but what was genuinely striking is that the dishes are not served with rice/noodles - one has to order them separately. Considering, that prices are middle-ranged, this was upsetting. 3. When I asked for soy sauce to add to my soup (it was rather tasteless, without salt or spices), the waiter brought them served in funny jars you see in French or Soviet-styled restaurants. Later they asked to pay additionally for the soy sauce. The reply to my arguments that this is not ok and should be mentioned beforehand was simple: "we do not mix our sauce with water like in other Japanese restaurants". In the end they charged money for this, too. 4. This would have been a very low-end regular place you'd go to for the sake of diversity if none of the above-mentioned issues happened. I came back with my clothes stinking of their burnt oil and spoiled mood. I strongly do not recommend anyone to come to Bruce Lee.

In addition to varenyky, the menu may also include salads and soups for a well-rounded dining experience.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the experience was not at all positive. The food did not meet expectations: the green borscht was completely unsalted, and the boiled potatoes were dry and without oil. There were no utensils such as trays, which creates some discomfort during self-service. However, the main disappointment is the quality of the dishes. There was a foreign ingredient in the borscht - a piece of fish, which completely spoiled the impression. The dish was tasteless anyway. The service left an extremely unpleasant impression. The staff demonstrates a frank disinterest in customers. Communication is accompanied by disdain, irritability, and sometimes even a demonstrative reaction - for example, rolling their eyes in response to a simple question. This is unacceptable for a catering establishment. I would like to draw the attention of the shopping center administration: such establishments significantly affect the overall impression of the food court. Surely, there will be other tenants who will be able to better present your center, with decent cuisine and service. I hope the feedback will be heard and the situation will change for the better. (Original) На жаль, досвід був зовсім не позитивним. Їжа не відповідає очікуванням: зелений борщ був зовсім несолоний, а відварна картопля — без масла, суха. Посуду на кшталт підносів не було, що створює певний дискомфорт під час самообслуговування. Однак головне розчарування — це якість страв. У борщі трапився сторонній інгредієнт — шматок риби, що остаточно зіпсувало враження. Страва й без того була несмачна. Обслуговування залишило вкрай неприємне враження. Персонал демонструє відверту незацікавленість у клієнтах. Комунікація супроводжується зневагою, дратівливістю, а іноді навіть демонстративною реакцією — наприклад, закочуванням очей у відповідь на просте запитання. Це недопустимо для закладу громадського харчування. Хочеться звернути увагу адміністрації ТРЦ: такі заклади значно впливають на загальне враження від фудкорту. Напевно, знайдуться інші орендарі, які зможуть краще представити ваш центр, з гідною кухнею та сервісом. Сподіваюся, відгук буде почутий, і ситуація зміниться на краще.
