Suzie Q was unapologetically rebellious, alluring and ahead of her time. Bathed in the red glow of oriental charm, her underground chinese restaurant was a well-kept secret by those in the know during the 80’s in downtown San Francisco; a hidden gem drawing people in from across the city with her timeless dishes and unforgettable ambiance. Suzie Q embodies the indulgence of this rich legacy, re-imagined through a modern lens and coupled with retro oriental charm, classic chinese fare and contemporary cocktails.

Outstanding quality, hot and fresh. They run a tight ship and want you in and out in 90 Minutes but it means they serve everything quickly too. We had a great lunch for 6 of us.

A really beautiful experience in every way. Beautiful service, tables not too close together, ambience just perfect, food was scrumptious, traditional, not over the top, not too try hard, just perfect. We had such a lovely Christmas lunch and for the price even better! Love to pay our money to privately owned family business too. Well done Il Duca, we will be back sooner than later.
