Original Piroshki Shop Delivers Consistency
I recently returned to Seattle and rediscovered this original Piroshki shop, a place I used to frequent on 3rd. While this location doesn't offer much in terms of a dining area, the food remains consistently the same. I've always been a fan of their chicken pelmeni, especially with a side of their broth.
However, I noticed a change in how the pelmeni are served now; they come in a white box with sour cream, but sadly, no broth. Despite this change, the chicken pelmeni itself still boasts the same delicious consistency, being both savory and juicy.
