Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Bonnie Morales

From the OpenTable editors: When it opened in 2014, this trailblazing restaurant launched the country’s Eastern European culinary renaissance, garnering raves from Bon Appétit, Eater, GQ, and more. A decade in, Bonnie and Israel Morales’s ode to their roots is still a hotspot for its famed horseradish-infused vodka, zakuski (snacks) like caviar and roe, and clay pot rabbit. Decked with colorful posters and tablecloths sourced from Belarus, the inviting, bi-level space is one you’ll want to return to again and again.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Kachka offers a vibrant dining experience with "amazing food," "excellent service," and a unique menu. Diners rave about the "delicious dumplings" and "horseradish vodka." The ambiance is lively, though sometimes noisy, making it ideal for group outings rather than intimate conversations. A "must-visit" for Russian cuisine enthusiasts!

    Truly exceptional from start to finish. As a 3rd generation Belarusian immigrant, it was so beautiful to connect with a part of my heritage that was abandoned. Superb food with incredible staff. Get the rabbit, you won't be disappointed.

    Fantastic meal. Service was impeccable. We went with server recommendations for most items and they were fantastic. Highlights of the meal were: spinach pudding, beef carpaccio, and the cod liver buterbrodi. The cabbage rolls reminded me of a dish my great grandmother used to make- which goes to show how well Kachka honors the heart of recipes while still making them feel special and fresh. I do wish we had gone here with another couple vs as a party of two as it is very family style, but this place is not to be missed. Rarely do you find places that have blended modern and homey in such an elegant way. We’ll be back.

    We attended a wine tasting event for the wines of Georgia (the country in the Caucasus, not the state in the US). We enjoyed sampling the wines which were intriguingly different than our usual California and Oregon vintages. We bought a couple of bottles to take home (plus stocking up on Kachka's delicious pelmeni). The wine importer who was hosting the event was a pleasure to talk to; friendly and knowledgeable. The Kachka staff were, as they always are in my experience, courteous and efficient. Altogether it was a very pleasant experience and a good value as well.

    We have been coming here for many years now. Both private events, and covid, and normal reservations like last night. So consistent, bravo!

    Everything we ordered - 6 entrees - was DELICIOUS! The service was very friendly, fun and excellent overall. Bob was perfect, and they all work together as a serving team to ensure all guests are served. While very delicious, we felt the portions were slightly smaller [breads, dumplings, pickles, other items] than about 2-3 years ago, which didn't always equal. Family style becomes more of a 2 person share than 3-4 people.

Thanks again and we hope to see you soon! -Anne/Kachka

    Fantastic food, service, and ambience! It was a wonderful experience, and I love eating at places that make food I would never make at home. Everything was excellent, but I especially enjoyed the cabbage rolls, the sour cherry dumplings that were pan fried, and the layered herring dish with the beets and eggs. Come for a meal, you won’t be disappointed!
