Restaurant Kytaiskyi Pryvet in Kyiv

Kitayskiy Privet Restaurant in Kyiv

Zoophobus larvae and “century eggs” — frightening and intriguing phrases at the same time. These dishes became the highlights of the menu at Kitayskiy Privet, a café opened by Misha and Dasha Katsurina. The owners of “Privet” are great fans of Chinese cuisine, having sampled it at two hundred restaurants around the world while selecting the best (and the chef too).

MENU OF THE KITAYSKIY PRIVET RESTAURANT

The kitchen is headed by Chef Xiang and sous-chef Sun: the menu features practically none of the noodles and rice that everyone has grown tired of, but plenty of beef, duck, pork, chicken and lamb in spicy sauces, wood ear mushrooms and thick Asian soups. That said, flour-based dishes and rice are also present, but in a much smaller proportion than at other Chinese establishments.
The highlights are green beans with chili pepper and the chef’s signature potatoes with eggplant, which, they say, caused all the cafés in the vicinity of Ürümqi to close.
