Kytaysʹkyy Pryvit, Chinese restaurant in Ivana Franka Street, Kyiv, Ukraine.
Kytaysʹkyy Pryvit is a Chinese restaurant on Ivana Franka Street in central Kyiv, decorated with red lanterns, wooden furniture, and painted Chinese motifs on the walls. The menu covers dishes from several regions of China, all prepared fresh in the kitchen.
The restaurant opened in the 1990s, when Chinese food first became available in Kyiv shortly after the Soviet period ended. It was among the first Chinese restaurants to establish itself in the city center.
The restaurant serves regional specialties from different Chinese provinces, ranging from spicy soups to dumplings prepared in Cantonese style. Diners can explore the culinary differences of various Chinese regions in one place.
Booking a table by phone or through the website is a good idea, especially on weekends when the place fills up. Evening visits tend to be busier, so planning ahead helps secure a comfortable seat.
The kitchen makes fresh hand-pulled noodles every day, and the process can be watched through a glass wall from the dining room. Guests can see the dough being stretched and shaped by hand, which is not something you come across often outside of China.
