Rus Uz

It’s a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the decor, but I was hoping for more tenderness from the signature meat dishes. The atmosphere is fantastic. I especially loved the paintings on the walls, which give the space a great personality. The service was also very friendly and attentive throughout our meal. However, the food was a bit of a letdown given the great environment. We ordered the Plov and the Beef Stroganoff, and unfortunately, the beef in both dishes was quite dry and tough. On the bright side, the steamed vegetables were fresh and well-prepared.

Rus Uz is an absolute gem for authentic Russian and Uzbek cuisine. Everything I tried was delicious, especially the soups — each one was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service was quick, friendly, and welcoming, which made the entire experience even better. If you're looking for hearty, traditional dishes and warm hospitality, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Authentic Russian / Uzbek cuisine, service was A+ and very attentive wait staff. Portions are good and I believe it’s priced fairly, atmosphere was nice. I liked the decorations and made it feel like I was travelled to a different part of the world. Definitely have to come back and try the Borscht or other location in Arlington.

⭐ 1-Star Review – Warning to Other Customers This store sold me expired food, and that is absolutely unacceptable. The gingerbread cookies I purchased (Veselka Pryaniki) were clearly past the Best Before date: 27/11/24, yet they were still on the shelf being sold at full price. Selling expired products is not only unprofessional — it’s a health risk. It shows a complete lack of responsibility, attention, and respect toward the customers who trust this business. If a store cannot manage something as basic as checking expiration dates, then what else are they ignoring? Cleanliness? Storage temperatures? Safety standards? I expect this issue to be taken seriously, and I strongly recommend other customers check every product before buying anything here. For now, I will not be returning, an

Somewhat hidden venue for authentic Russian and Uzbek collaboration of foods. The dining area is very elegant and has that familiar Russian atmosphere of “intending on leaving an impression” Service is slower by American standards, so settle in and take your time. I would avoid going here if you are planning on seeing a movie at the theatre nearby after your meal. You can’t rush this style of dining. Complementary kleb (bread) is served with sour cream before your food arrives which will be presented perfectly. Highly recommend this style of food if you are new and wanting to try Russian/Central Asian cuisine. Would recommend.
