A Taste Of Ukraine - Burnaby, British Columbia

Taste of Ukraine has the best perogies (varenyky) I have ever found!! They are fantastic and just like my grandma (baba) made! Their frozen perogies are WAY better than any other restaurant or deli/store I’ve ever been to, anywhere in BC or Washington.

I have made purchases from this location several times over the last few years. But this will be my last. $50 for 4 cabbage rolls and 2 servings of borscht. This time the cabbage rolls are flavorless, mostly rice with and barely any sauce. The beef borscht was ... mostly broth with only tiny shards of beef and few vegetables. It tasted ok, but not nearly as tasty as usual. Definitely not worth the cost. Read more

We used to buy their pelmeni all the time. My last purchase was very disappointing, paid $20 for plain dough with no filling in it. The quality of the product went down drastically.

I had just gotten out of doctor’s office and still pretty sedated. I stupidly decided to go in by myself as I’ve always wanted to try their perogies. I only wanted to get a small container of perogies and one of cabbage rolls. After charging me over $90 (and that’s ... with the 5% discount). I did get the small container of perogies but they also gave me 4 large containers of cabbage rolls. Sure the 2 women there were all smiles and quite friendly while I was there and I’m sure they must have had a good chuckle at my expense after I left. We finally tried them. The perogies were nothing special. The cabbage rolls were terrible. They said it was beef & rice but there is barely any beef at all. The sauce was minimal and it tasted like pure tomato paste. My family won’t eat them and I’m stuck with 3 more containers. Read more

I went to this place hopes of getting some poppyseed bread as they were pretty good last time I had it. When I asked the clerk, she said she didn't have any but one a frozen one in the back and that it's slightly broken. I told her it's fine ... because I don't care too much about the looks as long as it tastes good. Everything went well till I saw the price. I can't believe one of these things cost $12.27! I don't know why she weighed them and didn't give me the label price. I assumed it's because she brought it from the back and technically not in stock (?). 3/5 for the high cost for just poppyseed bread (but still tastes good). Read more
