"Feast on typical ‘northern cuisine’ – famous Baikal fish soup (ukha); pelmeni stuffed with wild boar or Kamchatka crab; and venison stroganoff."

Jennifer Eremeeva

"Loyal fans of the restaurant swear that the ukha, Russia’s oldest soup made from fish from Siberian Lake Baikal, cannot be matched."

Jennifer Chater

"On the waiter's recommendation, we shared a single portion of Siberian ukha, or fish soup ($7), served in two small bowls, each with generous chunks of salmon, burbot and muksun, a freshwater whitefish similar to salmon. The ukha was probably the best we'd ever had."

"The food is incredible - Stroganina Yakut style or reindeer Stroganina. Everything is just heavenly."

"The food should be described separately. It’s incredible. Ukha (clear Russian soup, made from various types of fish) with Baikal’s omul, muksun and burbot liver, served with a shot of homemade liqueur “Hrenovukha” (made from root horseradish), etc. EVERYTHING is just heavenly."
