    I love this place! They have veggie options for my favorite Hungarian classics. Everything is always delicious and the service is always great. They never rush me or hover over my table. <3

    We cook a lot. Honestly, we felt that we could’ve prepared everything as well if not better at home.

    I thought this was a lovely little place. It was not fancy, and for San Francisco, not super expensive. The food was simple; Goulash, German style sausages with mustard and sauerkraut, an amazing Strudel. I grew up with this food and it tasted like home. I would absolutely go again.
