A review from a Chinese person: It's quiet great to be honest. The food is delicious, the portion is huge, the price is affordable, and the server is helpful.

Stolovaya in Brooklyn is an absolute gem. Authentic Russian comfort food done with real care and generosity — the kind of meal that feels like a warm hug.

The atmosphere is unpretentious and welcoming, exactly what a neighborhood spot should be. Brooklyn is lucky to have it.
