Piroshki On Broadway

Hey, dangit! What the hell! Expletive! Turning the UHF knob on the TV really fast until your mom yells at you!
Piroshki On Boradwayal;gja;gjsb;ldjb
Sorry.
Piroshki On Broadway may be gone but Pirosky On 3^rd or whatever they call it now lives on. I hadn’t been here in, oh, I dunno, since the dawn of the dawn of the dawn of the time of time (or of time; I really don’t know, honestly). I used to go here a lot back in the day but it had been many years and, y’know what? She remembered me. That’s pretty damned awesome. No one at the Wendy’s downtown would remember me (probably because I hadn’t been there since 1999 and, well, they’ve closed that location but whatever).
Uh. I guess I should actually review their new whatea;lgk;bb
Seriously, why do they let me on this site?

Piroshki on Broadway is closed but they opened a new location by the name of «Piroshki on 3^rd».

Piroshki/​Pierogi (also perogi, perogy, pirohi, piroghi, pirogi, pirogen, piroshke or pyrohy), from the Proto-​Slavic «pir» (festivity) is the name most commonly used in English speaking areas to refer to a variety of Slavic semicircular (or, in some cuisines, square) stuffed dumplings of unleavened dough and varying ingredients. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
I saw Anthony Bourdain eat at the piroshki place in Pike’s market and happen to walk by this place on the way back to my hotel. I had not eaten dinner yet so I decided to try this place.
The beef and mushroom piroshki was OK, the flavor was flat. The sausage piroski tasted (and looked) like a hot dog; again kinda blah.
The good things were the desserts. Their version of a cherry streusel was different than ones I ate in the past. It was dense with cherries, sweet, tangy and crunchy and buttery. A little heavy to eat by yourself so it would be great to share with someone. The second dessert I had was the poppy seed cookie. The cookie was soft, buttery, not too sweet and the poppy seed provided a nutty flavor. It was an interesting flavor combination that I have not encountered before.
The piroshkis were OK, but the dessert was good so if you are in the neighborhood or visiting Seattle I would stop buy grab some lunch and make sure you save room for dessert.

my first food as an official seattle resident. they’re super tasty and easy to eat while running about. i’ve been averaging one per day since moving in [on day four now].
so far, my favourite is the potato, broccoli and cheese, though any of the cheesy piroshki will do.

Oh, heaven. And the food is good too! Really, the wonderful Russian lady that serves up the hot Piroshkis in here is such a sweetheart, really great service, and good prices. Probably the best piroshkis you can get in this hemisphere. Really, and the little cookies, pastries, and coffee? All fantastic.
Piroshki on Broadway = tears of joy.

Ick.
The staff is very nice and I want to like this place, but the piroshkis are just edible. I’d call them flavorless, except there is a distinctly unappealing flavor that tags along afterwards. This is based on a spinach cheese and also a mushroom piroshki.
:(It make water come out my eye.
Hit Pike’s Place instead.

Fast and good, that’s what I like… Well, when it comes to food in a hurry.
The Piroshky’s have always hit the spot for me, and the Borscht (sp?) is damn tasty! Especially on a cold and dreary day.
I also love the Russian woman who runs the place too. She’s always keeping it real!

I can’t think of a better place on Broadway to get lunch on a cold day.
The bread is home baked and sweet. The fillings are dense, hot and delicious. When you eat at Piroshki on Broadway you will feel it for hours after. It warms you up and keeps you that way.
Price can’t be beat, five bucks for a lunch sized portion with a soda. You can eat in the restaurant itself amongst the sweet delicious aroma of perfection, or on the go.
My personal favorite is the Cheese, Potato and Beef. It’s like eating a Shepard’s Pie dumpling.
In conclusion, go there, but not too much, because then I’d have to wait.

I ALWAYS have to stop here if I’m up on Broadway, even if it’s to take something home for lunch the next day!
My extremely picky boyfriend who usually only eats meat and potatos (with no toppings on either) really digs the beef and cheese offering. My favorite is the salmon although everything I’ve had here is delicious.
And the desserts are pretty scrumptious too. :)

I still like the Piroshki place down in Pike Market better, but this place has amazing cookies and loaf breads as well as a smattering of tasty piroshkis. I just find it hit and miss at times with the amount of egg wash they put on.
I usually get the smoked salmon or the spinach and cheese. Make sure these suckers are nice and hot before you bite into it and make sure to bring home some pastries for the late night munchies.

Borscht!
I know I probably only love it because of the ½ Ukrainian uranium enriched blood pumping through my veins, but slurping down a nice hot bowl of deep red beet stew puts me in my Happy Place.
(One of them)
Piroshki!
Oh, hot dough filled with cheesy mushrooms, oh drool…

If you go here, please say hi to Alla for me. I moved from Seattle to the Bay Area in 2000. Alla is the wonderful woman who smiles as she serves up all of their amazing food. Tell her I miss her and especially the raspberry walnut roll up cookies, borscht, and the amazing chicken noodle soup.
Though I have found a great Russian restaurant here in S. San Francisco (Russian Family Restaurant) I hold this little place dear to my heart…

If you find yourself wandering around Broadway sniffing the air like an aging hound, drooling over fantasies of living out the rest of your days in a dough-​drunk haze, then it’s time to take a little visit to Piroshki on Broadway.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t really like the food at Piroshki. This is not Piroshki’s fault, though, since they kick out a high-​quality, beautiful product. Their little slices of heaven are just too doughy, yeasty sweet (even when it’s savory) for this little eater. My husband, however, was all too happy to eat my broccoli, cheese pouf and go back for a Napoleon.
Even if I never actually eat there again, I will happily send them business and reap the olfactory benefits their craft wafts into the neighborhood.

You know what should go inside a bread? Some potato. Just shove that potato right in that bread. Damn. This is the food of my ancestors and it runs in my blood.

Man, I still crave their spinach and cheese piroshki. Get there early to get it b/​c it’s a popular one.
I need to make it over to Broadway more often to get it again.

I used to go here when it was half the size, and you had to weave your way in, stand at the counter, and wait for the charmingly pushy lady to shove some piroshki in your face. She’s still there (yay!), and she’s still forcing you to eat something! (Double yay!) Trust me, there’s just something about that brash Russian accent that makes you not want to mess with her… And like it!
Thank GOD everything here is scrumptious, so it doesn’t really matter what she forks over — Mushroom and rice? Potato and cabbage? I’ll eat it all! And like it!
PS. Don’t miss out on those little hazelnut cookie things!

I never know exactly what I’m eating here. I just let the person behind the counter grab whatever is closest to the oven and I’m off in baked Russian bliss!
That’s not to say I don’t spend a lot of time drooling over all of the different offerings. Most of the savory offerings contain some combination of meat, potato, and cheese so who really cares which one you get? They’re all going to be good and garlicky!
The sweet offerings present a whole ‘nother set of challenges. Chocolaty, fruity, ah, screw it, just grab whatever is closest to the oven. You really can’t go wrong with Russian baked goods.

I was turned onto piroshkis by a friend of mine. I’ve been trying them out at random places in Seattle, and I found this little joint up on Broadway.
The piroshkis here are actually pretty good. There’s a decent variety, and they’re not as bready as some other places (where the piroshki is almost all bread). The beef and onion and potato and cheese ones are good, if not staples. The borscht (sp?) is also very good, make sure you get a dollop of sour cream in it.
The only thing I could ding this place on is the price. I think piroshki places in general are too expensive for what you get. I know there’s some artistry to create these things, but for what’s in them and how much you get, you’d think they’d be cheaper.

This place is amazing. They sell both — these delectible savory pastries filled with a variety of meat or vegatable filling, and also pierogy with a variety of different fillings. The time I went here I had one of the savory pastries with a mushroom and vegatable filling. It was the perfect afternoon snack and it was only like $ 3 – 4. I think 2 of them could be a meal or one with a cup of some of the borsht (sp? — its a beet based soup). I also want to come back for a meal of there pierogy’s.
I can see why this place has a line out the door at the Pike Place Market location. We should all be so happy to have this place in our neighborhood.

Im not a huge fan of this type of food (too heavy). But once in awhile I’ll go for a soup and a ham and cheese peroshki. Very filling!
The atmosphere is comfy and the employees are super nice.
