Hot Potato House

Had a family outing here yesterday. Incredibly professional staff and the kitchen is one of the absolute best in New York and not just for Eastern European fare but more generally. Everything was incredibly fresh. After years of not coming here out of just not knowing of its quality , it’s now my new favorite restaurant in the area.

The food is always delicious at Hot Potato House. We love the Pierrogies, the grilled shrimps, and the flounder. Everything we ordered were so good! The waiters were so sweet. I highly recommend.

Authentic Ukrainian food, and excellent service. Sergei, our server, was very attentive and to our surprise, he sings very professionally. Friday's live music by Parokhod is a must to listen. Will be back soon

It's been a while since been to this place, so it was very nice to see that the place is consistent. The food is just as good as it used to be and the service as well. Another great surprise was there phone call offering to pre order appetizers since they were going to be busy and that wait we would not have to wait for too long.

Service was absolutely god awful. We ordered a banquet for an event we had at the restaurant, we had at least 4 servers circling our table. Not only were they not capable of getting rid of empty plates from the table, but it’s a fairly common sense thing to know that you should be taking the dirty utensils along with the dirty plates when you’re changing them. The drink pitchers were not refilled, were absolutely disgusting in color, and spilled as soon as there was any attempt to pour them into a cup. By the time they were serving desert onto the table, there was still chicken and fries on the table. It doesn’t take a genius to understand you should clear the table before bringing dessert. The pickled tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers were foul, not only in smell but visibly looked days old. For 130$ a person m. There was quite literally nothing on the table. For 20+ people there were all shared amongst everyone at the table For the appetizers: maybe 3 Caesar salads scattered around the table and 3 absolutely tasteless radish, fried onion and cow tongue salads. The disgusting pickled vegetables, holodets served in literal take out containers, a few plates of pashtet, sheika, and gefilte fish. For the entrees once again for 20+ people there were 2 platters of potatoes and mushrooms, 2 platters of salmon and rice 2 platters of chicken and French fries also virtually tasteless, and a spinach pastry. The potatoes and mushrooms never got to the middle half of the table due to how the waiters were serving the food. The chicken reeked of garlic and STILL had zero taste. The salmon and rice was the only serving grace from that entire table. And dessert was 3 plates of some god awful apple cinnamon strudel that was impossible to break into, was drenched in cinnamon, with ice cream, and 3 plates of fruits which included a few pieces of watermelon, a branch of grapes almost entirely unwashed a quarter of a pineapple and one other fruit that I didn’t look at. They served tea and coffee without enough cups and the female waitress gave a nasty attitude when she was told she’d need to bring more. Prior to leaving AN HOUR AND A HALF PRIOR TO LEAVING the staff was asked to prepare a take home plate of potatoes and mushrooms for a child at home, Lo and behold after already settling the bill the food had never even been started, we ended up waiting for more than 25 minutes to have that measly plate brought to us so we could leave. For over 130$ per person this was the biggest disaster of a banquet dinner I’ve ever had the misfortune of being invited to. EVERY SINGLE PERSON AT THAT TABLE AGREED ON THAT SENTIMENT. This place is a waste of money and service was horrendous, save yourself the time and money and go elsewhere. Over priced and gross.

Every time I order something different I am pleased. I mean you really can’t go wrong with any items off the menu. My favorite are the potato with cheese and the skirt steaks. Pumpkin salad is great too!

Great food, I also enjoyed music entertainment by Andrey last Friday, the highlights of his show are his piano-based arrangements of popular songs you should listen!

Went to Hot Potato house on Friday night and had a wonderful time! Everything was amazing, from the food to the music. My family and I probably ordered 8 different items from the menu and everything was delicious. Our server, Sergey, explained everything very well and probably one nicest/most pleasant waiters I've ever encountered. To top it off, the jazz by Gena and Marina was beautiful. They played gorgeous music that was very pleasing to the ear. It wasn't too loud or crazy, perfect for the atmosphere of the restaurant. Highly recommend!

Cozy atmosphere, comfort food, very nice, attentive & accommodating staff. Overall a positive experience.
