10/20/22 On 10/15/22 I decided to check out this store while while waiting for my orders of popcorn chicken at Vivi Bubbles Tea. The staff was in the back of the store having some sort of discussion about men in Russian. Okay, maybe not men, but something. This gave me a chance to look around at the amount of meats they had. This store had a number of chocolate candies from Russia too. Some of the names I have never heard of. Others were knockoff versions of popular American sodas and snacks. I was tempted to buy some candies, but the though of the delicious garlic popcorn chicken played in my mind and I didn't give into the temptation. I do know the next time I come here, I will end up buying something. The store looked well organized and the employees I saw asked me if I needed assistance politely. Since I was just looking, they left me alone. I will definitely be back.

Very pleasant and many selections. All the food I bought is yummy. The peach gingerbread cookies went well with my tea I bought. I recommend getting the Russian Cheese " " from their deli and Zefir " " from the sweets selections. Customer service was exceptional!

I traipsed over to Beautiful Fairfax to visit this store. The first and only item on my agenda was to find some "Russian" products. The store is of medium build, in that there is a decent selection of a variety of items, ranging from poppy seeds to kholodets to Russian pharmaceutical products, esteemed around the world for their efficacy. However, as you read on, you will gain a better sense of my grievances with respect to Russian Gourmet, as well as its positive attributes. First and foremost, the strip mall in which Russian Gourmet is nestled is truly the most UNSIGHTLY building I have ever laid my two eyes upon. Imagine being the architect who designed this strip mall or the constructors who built this strip mall! Imagine the shame they must feel! The construction resembles an overripe, greying chicken that was boiled in unsalted water for several hours. Other than the intriguing Uighur restaurant, there is absolutely no aspect of this building that beckons you in. The interior of Russian Gourmet is slightly better, but lest we forget that the bar is truly ROCK BOTTOM. There is a wide selection of products. I will not list them all, but some examples are: spice, jarred vegetable, Russian-language magazine, buckwheat groat, chocolate, fresh little-salt pickle, tvorog, frozen pelmeni shipped from Brighton Beach, bread, and various prepared products ranging from syrniki to an enticingly jiggly kholodets. Yum. Now, you may ask: why only three stars? Well, allow me to tell you. While the selection of goodies here is decent, the price is far more abrasive on the constitution. A small bag of pelmeni, mailed from the distant Brighton Beach, rings up at a whopping $7.99. A single wee syrnik will cost you about $2. A smoked mackerel will drain your checking account, and perhaps some of your savings as well. Prices aside, I very much enjoyed the ambience of the store. It vaguely resembled that of a small Magnit in the regions of Russia, albeit slightly worse. The cashier generously insisted on bagging my purchase, as if it were not completely obvious that she only wanted to ensure that I wasn't stealing anything in the folded-up reusable Trader Joe's bag that I had brought and had nestled in the bowels of my armpit for the duration of my visit. If you very much need to acquire a certain Russian product in the DC metro area, your options are quite limited, and you may end up resorting to Russian Gourmet. You will likely be able to find what you are looking for, even if at great cost. You may also wish to trek over simply to lay eyes on the abomination that is this strip mall. There is, if you stare at it for long enough, something grotesquely beautiful in its hideousness.
