Pel'meni - Juneau

This is a locals-described staple drunk food spot. You get 2 options: beef or potato. Then, choose if you want vinegar, hot sauce, curry spice, and sour cream. Intriguing Russian street food.

It is not my cup of tea to be honest. I am Asian and looking at all the reviews I thought I am in for a treat! Only to get dissapointed by the food, I mean if you grew up eating spaghetti with butter or mac n cheese and still loved it to this days than yes, you might like it but to me it is just an overcooked gnocchi that need way more seasoning and spices to taste good. It is sooo bland the sour cream does not help I am so sorry but yeah, will never comeback.

This place is kind of a dive but the Russian dumplings are awesome. Great place to hit up after the bar, they are open super late. Service can be slow as they only have one person working behind the counter. So I had to wait 30 minutes for my dumplings. I get both the potato and the meat and have them put all of the fixings. Curry powder hot sauce etc. I love them with a touch of sour cream. I get them whenever I'm in Juneau. The bears seem to like them also as one chased me when I was carrying a bag full of them back to my hotel at 2 a.m.

Dumplings are great as always, however on my last visit the atmosphere was terrible. The volume of the music playing was enough to make us leave on its own, BUT the content was even worse. Extremely inappropriate for almost any setting, especially considering there are other businesses in the same mall. And people were freely vaping in the dining area.This has not been an issue with any previous visits but I will definitely think twice about coming again.Kid-friendliness: Music is not kid friendly. Extremely vulgar lyrics

$9 for a delicious plate of dumplings 10/10. guy who said “best food i had on my alaskan cruise hands down” has it right
