We had a nice time here. First time we were here we sat in their magical patio but last night the patio was closed for an event so we sat inside. Inside is a little noisy and crammed but cozy at the same time. We were there with friends so we were able to taste lots of different dishes. My 6 year old loved their sausages and pierogis. My husband loved their Schnitzel and They are very accommodating for diet restrictions, there is food for everyone here. Service is friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back.

I was told I would hate the food and I didn’t listen.

Had a great experience here. Sat in the patio area. Spacious and beautiful. Roomy. Got a mojito and beef. The sample platter. And some pierogi orders. The chicken. Traditional. And beef. Good food. Wish they had pierogis with cheese, Potato and jalapeño! That would’ve been amazing. But nice to see an authentic polish place in socal. Really enjoyed

I’ve all over Poland, one of the best places I ate was a hole in the in Krakow where I ordered pierogies. When I bit into the pierogi at Solidarity I was transported back to that amazing hole in the wall in Krakow.

First time eating Polish food outside of Poland and was pretty good. Sauerkraut salad and split pea soup were great. Pierogi are a must of course. Not a fan of borsch or herring as was expecting something more Russian style. Polish cheesecake was definitely not your American variety. Service was friendly and efficient. The bill was high as always at those types of places as we end up wanting to try everything. Nice place to try a different cuisine.

Went for my birthday and had a really nice time. The food was fantastic, at least as good as anything I had in Poland! I was really excited about the chance to introduce my family to Polish culture as I have recently discovered our deeply Polish heritage which we hardly even knew we had!

Good food! A little on the pricey side, but great Polish food regardless. There is no parking lot in the back anymore. Gotta find street parking or if you show up after the shops next door close then you can park in the neighboring lot but you need to make sure the shop is closed, otherwise you can get ticketed (or maybe even towed).
