"Phoenix has a Ukrainian restaurant! Who knew? Well, not me... until recently. Now, I'm glad to be in the know!Soup and sausage Bistro has a casual, quick serve model. It seems to be a pretty authentic Eastern European place. I could even hear customers speaking Ukrainian (or, maybe Polish . They even have small Ukrainian flags atop many of the tables. They're even available for purchase for five dollars. The service was attentive. It wasn't long after placing an order that deliciousness arrived. There's no printed menu so customers have to rely on the menu board with small print or scan a QR code on their mobile device. I ordered the Soup and Sausage Plate. It included a sausage link, half order of french fries, soup and fountain drink. (Sour cream is available on request. Everything was very good. The sausage (I chose fresh, non-spicy was good, so not as flavorful as expected. The french fries were surprisingly good. They seemed fresh cut, not frozen. The highlight of the meal was definitively the Solyanka soup. It had small bits of light, hearty veggies, sausage, and a light broth. The half slice of lemon provided an extra layer of the flavor. This was homemade goodness!The only drawback was the way too loud instrumental music. I like a bit of ambience, but it was just too much. A small price to pay for a good meal, I suppose."
