Robert's Russian Cuisine

I dined with my husband at the restaurant after the Nova Music Festival exhibition in Culver City. We were very pleased with our dining experience there. The environment was nice and decorated with Russian souvenirs. The hostess was friendly (do not take her serious face as a bad service - she will warm up to you and perform a great service)We were given the complimentary salad along with the bread after we did the orders The beer was great - I got Kalik (lager beer). We ordered the entree that comes with soup (we got borscht along with sour cream and black bread). I got Chicken La Kiev and my husband got the beef stroganoff. Mashed potatoes were good. Vegetables were decent.We also got Napoleon Cake (great one!) aliong with espresso.Pretty great food with great service. We were happy we came there for a dinner before we went home outside of LA. ;-)

Food is great 8/10Service is very timely 9/10Ambience could be better but it is very Russian/armenian homey kinda vibe 7.5/10I come home periodically with family and will continue coming back

I dined here with a large group of women in late June. We chose Robert's because we had just seen the ballet performance of Anna Karenina and wanted to round-out or Russian experience. Per the recommendation of the waitress, we ordered and assortment of foods to share between the nine of us, family style. The amount of food was perfect and we were treated very well.

#abkhaziaisgeorgiaWorst khinkali ever!Feozen and no taste at all Service better than food but still not great Deserves zero stars if I had the option

The whole experience was unpleasant. I came in around 230pm on a Saturday. The restaurant only had two tables. I ordered the beef stroganoff which comes with a soup and choice of 2 sides. I opted for the borcht soup as that's what I see what other reviewers are getting. The side of soup just tasted like boiled beets water with some cabbage and 1 potatoe. I assume there would be meat as well..but mine didn't have any. No flavor. For my sides, of the 3 available choices of rice, potatoes and vegetables. I requested veggies and potatoes and was told they didn't have any and they can do mashed potatoes instead. I said that was fine. 5 mins later the waitress said they don't have any mashed potatoes and if I was ok with double veggies. I wasn't thrilled and I didn't have much other options. I thought that was weird for them to not have 2 of 3 sides available. Not like I came late and they run out... The whole time while waiting I hear some coughing coming from the kitchen and I was a bit worried since no one wore mask and I heard they used the microwave pretty frequently. They had a few people come in to pick up to go orders. That shows me that the food is not fresh because it's just reheated food. After a bit my came out and it looks like hospital cafeteria food. The veggies are boiled with no seasoning. Bland. The beef stroganoff was decent. I sat by the front of the entrance. While eating I was put off by people smoking in front outside. A lot of the staff hangout in front and smoke. Every time the door open I get a whiff of cigarette smoke while eating and I do not like the smell. Halfway eating my meal I notice two dishes came out which looks a lot like the potatoes that I originally wanted. I asked for the check and inquired about the potatoes I saw and she said it was rice not potatoes. I know what I saw. Then another guy tried to show me the menu and i said yes, that's what I wanted. He said, but you ordered vegetables. I said, yeah cause I was told that's all yall had! (I didn't want rice). He said sorry and the girl acknowledged her mistake. At this point the whole experience was not great and paid $22 for a meal I did not enjoy. I quickly got out of there...

Wouldn't let me, a paying customer use the restroom. Smells like musty cigarettes inside. If you aren't Russian you aren't welcome here.

I'm 8 months pregnant and needed a restroom break I pulled in their driveway and the woman working was so mad we even parked there stared me and my husband down as if we had hit her car and refused to let me use their perfectly vacant restroom and said it was " broken" , besides the shitty food reviews stay away from these mean people no wonder it was an empty house.

My wife and I love visiting this small but superb place on a regular basis to enjoy mouthwatering Russian food. We usually get a variety of things including Grilled Combo and Blinchiki. Really: Blinchiki is a must. I can never get enough of them. At the end of our little ceremony, we always enjoy Russian tea with preserved cherries. What you see on the picture are pelmeni (in the red plate) and blinchiki. The service is great; dishes are served hot from the heart. :) The owner is super friendly and always does his very best to make the dinner memorable with small but heart-warming talk.

A variety of dishes from the former Soviet republics, Armenian, Russian, Ukrainian, Georgian...Grilled sturgeon was excellent, we will be back to try Robert's other seafood options like Branzino and salmon. Table next to us ordered chicken Tabaka and beef stroganoff and it looked delicious.Armenian coffee with Napoleon cake paired really well.Service was great!

Came here with my Russian family for my graduation celebration and the food is great! Portions are a bit on the smaller side but the most accurate and authentic to genuine Slavic cuisine that I've tried in LA. inside it's well kept and neatly decorated but slightly smells of cigarettes lol reminded me of home.
