| - My roommate and a few other friends of ours really hyped this place up a lot. I was excited, I was hungry, and I was eager for a warm, tasty treat.
But, unfortunately, I wasn't blown away when I finally took my first bite. I ordered the mixed, large, with all the works and it was sort of just a little bland. In particular, the potato pieces lacked almost any flavor and the seasonings on top didn't cling well to the pelmeni; maybe my dish was prepared in a rush since it looked like the wetness made the seasonings wash off and pool at the bottom.
I did add some sriracha on top eventually and that made it tasty but, truthfully, the pelmeni were just sriracha carriers at that point.
I did also get to try just the potato and just the meat versions from the others in my group. The meat was much tastier to me than the potato, with more saltiness and umami, but it was still rather dry inside and lacked the small bit of fattiness it needed to balance it out.
I might try this place again but I haven't really craved it.
