Hatsatun

beets and red bean Salads were extra ordinary, the place was cozy the server was attentive and personable … We loved it …

My friend and I can here for the first time and we enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and the service.

Unbelievably Rude service.
Waiter complaining that we order more stuff, demanding that we decide and tell him all requests in one shot so he wound’t have to walk too much.
Ignoring our requests even after asking five times…
Overpriced for the quality of food they provide.

Authentic Armenian cuisine with no outside influence. Doesn’t get better than that, gotta try there ker yev soos, it’s mixed peppers with for fries and chicken grilled so so delicious, also there lamb chops are phenomenal

We had a birthday party at this place. Food was really very good, fresh and very delicious, like home made. We enjoyed that night, music was played by a professional musician. It’s a nice and cozy place.

Called to ask if they had a patio. They said, «wrong number» and hung up on me. Lol guess we won’t be dining there.

Great, authentic food. Yum!!! Some people mistake the Beef Stroganoff dish with the more popularized one. At this place it is the original Russian version of sautéed pieces of beef in a sour cream sauce, topped with fried potato pieces, and fresh parsley.

Yes, this is a real Armenian restaurant, beautifully decorated like a dark cave where you can forget the world outside. It is run by real Russian Armenians, and patronized primarily by other Armenians. As a non-​Armenian, I had the opportunity to experience Hatsatoun through a very unusual encounter – members of my group of friends saved the life of the owner’s son after a terrible car accident in summer, 2011, which occurred late at night in front of a house where we had been attending a party. To thank us for our good deed, the family hosted an all-​afternoon Armenian BANQUET/​multi-​course FEAST that was beyond incredible. Obviously this isn’t something a regular patron would experience, but assume some of the dishes do appear on the regular menu. Everything they prepared and served was authentic and delicious – roasted fish, lamb several ways (which even I had to taste, though I don’t normally eat meat!), bowls of awesome hummus, eggplants and other vegetables, plenty of vodka and wine and I wish I could remember everything else. We finished the evening with music and dancing and lots of gratitude all around – and felt we’d really bridged a cultural gap between our group of Westerners and this Armenian family. I am planning to arrange for another group of foodie friends to visit this restaurant again soon. If you can get past the divide, I think you will be well-​rewarded.

This is probably the only place I have been to that has REAL AUTHENTIC armenian food without influence from Lebanon or Iran or other countries in the middle east.

It was ok, I came here for my first time eating Russian food, I had borscht, tan and beef stroganoff.
The Borscht was good! ESPECIALLY with the sour cream that is given to you.
The Stroganoff was odd. It did not even seem like it was stroganoff, because it was covered in fries. I did not like the orange sauce and onions that were in it either, I must say it was NOT worth $ 15.
The Tan drink is like a saltyish sour cream drink that was hard to take down the first few sips, but I keep craving it, I am sure it will be a new favourite drink of mine.
There are downsides:
The waiter (I am also sure he was the owner) could not speak english that well, maybe only well enough to take our order.
When you first walk in, it makes you think you stepped into a latin restaurant.
The music when I went there… sounded like some stereotypical middle east music.

Four of us had lunch at Hatsatun this afternoon, and enjoyed the entire experience. The staff is hospitable, friendly and sweet. Along with a delightful Russian + Armenian fare, we loved the Eastern-​European music in the background. Greatly recommend Hatsatun!

This is an exotic upper-​tier and truly armenian experience in Glendale. The owners who are from Yerevan, greet you by first name. The décor is a modern hut, call it a stone and tiled backyard with a hut and a disco ball in the middle of the dinng room. When we visited, there were a bunch of people having a good time singing russian karaōke tunes… exotic alright… now on to the food, authentic armenian flavours in the bbq meats, very tangy tomatoe and cuccumber salad, thinly slices potatoe side and the bread, definitely different. Very unique and a must visit experience while in the greater Los Angeles area!

Well… we stopped by again but it was Friday night and they were setting up for a private party. I guess this place doesn’t want a redemption :)

The meats are cooked very nicely. Appetizers are also good.

This place is as authentic as it gets if you are talking about Armenian cuisine from Armenia. I went there for the first time with my boyfriend and a friend, and the second time with my boyfriends family. Both times everyone at the table agreed how delicious the food was. We get the barbeque (it’s Armenian style) usually beef and chicken and only a couple of appetizers because they bring fresh bread, cheese, vegetables. The the barbecue is incredible. This place is definitely a nice sit down place, with friendly service. Since I live in the OC all by my Armenian lonesome, i have to drive a ways to eat Armenian cuisine and this place is definitely worth the drive for me.
I do have one word of caution, not all American traditions have transfer ed over to this restaurant, one being the waitress who had been very super duper nice the whole time hung over my boyfriend’s head as he was signing the credit card statement and trying to tip her. Kinda awkward! I just chose to call it a cultural miscommunication.

been here several times with my armenian buddy. an elder man.
every time there’s some old school men’s club having some sort of private social while we get a table to ourselves in one of the wings.
food is fantastic. and the armenian vodka is smooth stuff. enough to through over my shoulder for friends long past.
i can eat just the appetizer plates with the flatbread, armenian salty cheese, herbs and all, and the pickles! but the meats are perfectly grilled and the service is quite friendly and businesslike.
there’s something about armenians very similar to koreans. smoking in restaurants included.

I stand corrected. This place is really Armenian cuisine, very little is Russian about it. Unilocal!PLEASE! We need more accurate categories for restaurants! I stand by my other statements, however. ..

Cue the Twilight Zone theme folks. This place has had me completely baffled and yet somehow strangely intrigued. Upon moving to Glendale I’d decided to get to know the area and what better way to do so than with food? Well known for it’s large Armenian community I decided this fare to be the best bet in proximity. Hatsatoun was on my radar and one rather lovely Southern California day I decided to check it out. With a bounce to my step and smile to my face I walked in from the street… and it was so dark it took a minute for my eyes to adjust. When they did, eight rather swarthy gentlemen were gathered around a table, the only patrons. They all turned in unison and I had a feeling I’d just walked into an episode of The Sopranos, Armenian style. Being alone and incredibly intimidated I quickly asked for a take-​out menu and bolted out of the bat-​cave, never to return.
Passing it almost everyday, I wonder how it’s stayed in business for so long and yet I never see anybody walking in or out of it. Perhaps one of these days I’ll have enough gumption to endeavor another stab at it. They have apparently just re-​modeled.
