Editorial review from Citysearch 12/30/2012

Terrible service. The waitress was on saturday night was very rude. She refused to seat my friends and I. She did not answer any questions and was very unprofessional. Restaurant looks very tacky from the inside. I do not recommend it. Not worth the drive. more

Fantastic food 4/17/2010

Amazing food here--very authentic. You will not and cannot go wrong at Traktir. Great service, but sometime slow. But who cares? They are very friendly here, a rarity at Russian restaurants in LA. Also, they make their own vodka here. No surprise, they are crowded often on weekends. Pros: Everything on the menu works well Cons: Sometimes slow service, but that's just their way more

Get Take Out 12/14/2008

Excellent food. The borscht, dumplings, pork chops and stroganoff --right down to the pickles--were all excellent. The flavored vodkad all tasted "stale", if that's possible, with the exception of the hot pepper vodka, which was really great once you got past the fire. The service was horribly slow, but at least friendly and the restaurant itself was chilly and too brightly lit. The restroom consists of a single employee restroom within the kitchen. I recommend not drinking a lot. Better yet, forego the uncomfortable bathroom situation and the terrible service, just get your food to go... Pros: Food Cons: Ambiance more

Went with a Russian: He loved it 3/6/2008

I went on Wednesday night to Traktir. The waiter was very nice. We drank the compote, which was very refreshing. We ordered the trio of those dumplings, then the chicken in crepes with mushroom cream sauce. Both plates were very tasty (I think they both had the same sauce). I guess Russian food is on the heavier side but it was a fun experience. Traktir is one of those ethnic experiences where the many of the diners are from the country. Most people there seemed Russian. That's a good sign, right? Pros: Affordable, diner style Russian restaurant with yummy, satisfying food Cons: Service is kind of slow but not a big deal, still check it out more

Below expectations 7/13/2007

On my recent visit to Traktir I found a cheaply decorated eatery with plastic plates and no tableclothes. All entrees had the same side of potatoes and cabbage, a sort of what one could see in a Russian diner 20-30 years ago. It was sad to see those served on all plates around. Dumplings were really good. Harcho was OK, but far from the real deal. The service was quite indifferent. Meal for two cost us about $50. I had 250 g. of Vodka that raised my bill by another $40 (!). Overall impression is that of a rip-off. Pros: Good dumplings Cons: Service more
