Allison Kaminski: A must if you love soup dumplings!! So fresh that they melt in your mouth. Go off of the servers recommendation on how they should be cooked (ie boiled, steamed, fried)
Neal Jain: Great food and service. Preferred the beef and lamb and pork to the seafood dumplings. But everything overall is delicious. Cool to see the open kitchen and the team making the dumplings as well!
Michael C: I will definitely come back. Tried boiled, steamed, and friend dumplings for variety. Get a few dishes and mix up the fillings.

C Rey: Everything was delicious! Given the array of dishes we sampled, I suggest Pekan Chicken, Short Rib noodle, soup dumplings and bone marrow potstickers. Based on portion sizes, groups of 2-4 are ideal.

Michelle Roberts: Everything here is fantastic. Order the zoupa or pierogis and make sure you get a glass of the home made beet juice.
Holly Wang: Let the owner order for you if you don't know what to get. But my personal favorite is the cabbage and white borsch soups, the assorted pierogis, and the potato pancakes!

GourmetLive: Chi has the biggest Polish population outside of Warsaw. No other American city can match their pierogis. Here, the pockets of beef are encased in a thick dough and served with butter and sour cream.
Michelin Travel & Lifestyle: The pierogis here are so tender and some of the best you will find in Chicago. The grilled kielbasa and layered honey cake are also wonderful. - Inspector
CJ: Second best perogi in Chicago next to Babcia
