“ Perfect store! I've never seen such huge variety of Russian food here in LA. Workers are very nice and helpful. It's very easy to find everything what you need. I really like their deli department. I tried many dishes and they were amazing. I'll definitely come back! ”
“ I called ahead as I was looking for some Hungarian paprika. Online it said they carried it. When I got there, unfortunately nobody could understand what I was asking for. Was a bit disappointed for making the trip for nothing. Seems like they have a lot to offer for Russian cuisine just not Hungarian. ”
“ Fresh food and great customer service. Large selection of baked goods and chocolates. ”
“ I don't know where all the negative reviews are coming from. This is a good store for Eastern European products. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I've been here many times. Nothing bad has ever happened. That is my experience ”

“ Came here for my wife as she was looking for something she saw online. It is a small market in Encino, that has Russian food. While we only got the item my wife wanted, we did try some free champagne and chocolate they were serving to patrons. They both were really good. Only reason this was not a 5 star review was because the lady at the register had a bit of an attitude as we were not Russian and shopping there. ”
“ Enjoying the spirit at Rasputin before the New Year. Amazing selection of Russian specialties. ”
“ Huge selection of Russian, Ukraine, Armenian, Georgian food and products. Most important you can find some medicine that is familiar for you. Good food: classic salads, meats etc. Candies and sweets. Service is very "soviet" -style, but friendly and helpful.Have fun all the time going there! They have catering. The store is clean and well organized. ”
