16 February, 2017

Oriental, eccentric and a spiced-up bust of flavors, the draw of Chinese/Thai cuisine is getting stronger each year in the capital of Ukraine, so where are those promising plates? In case you are looking for something like authentic Asian fast-food dishes or Pan-Asian fine dining, head to Zolotoustivska street in Kyiv, which became a destination for Thai/Asian food enthusiasts.

Kitaika

An interesting and hip interior design and relaxed atmosphere makes Kitaika a perfect lunch destination or a no-fuss meet-up with friends option. The food here is far from authentic oriental cuisine. All the dishes are adapted to the local gastronomical realities, however all the positive reviews on Foursquare and Facebook prove that Kitaika succeeded at fusing Ukrainian and oriental cuisines. The menu offers various soups, noodles, dim sum, spring rolls and dumplings. There is also a great selection of craft beers and cocktails. Address: 16, Zolotoustivska street, Kyiv.
