Reviews
- Avery_15The food: I used to always go to the one near the University of International Business and Economics, so this was my first time at the Anzhen location. Not sure if my taste buds have changed over the years or if the chef is just different, but honestly everything was kinda on the salty side — I was so thirsty after finishing, I just kept drinking water. The only thing that really stood out was the fried mushrooms, those would probably go great with a beer, but I'm not really a drinker so I couldn't fully enjoy them. The vibe: it's basically a neighborhood spot tucked down a pretty out-of-the-way alley. Super far from the subway and bus stops, so not really worth the trip unless you live nearby. Especially in winter — walking there was freezing.
