Booked 48 times today
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.

    Excellent from beginning to end. The feed me option is excellent value. All three cocktails I tried were fantastic and well balanced enough to not give you indigestion like some strong overly sweet ones. The sandstorm chicken was a standout and will have me coming back again for sure. Well done. The only critique I could give is that they were too efficient and the food came out pretty fast, that it felt like the whole meal was over too soon.

    Have to be my favourite pub . The specials are the best value for money . Steak all day and into the night on a Tuesday and roast for $24 on a Sunday . Excellent service from our waiter “Darius” so professional and knowledgeable . I like to dine here every couple of months as I live on the Mornington Peninsula and this would have to be the best pub meal ever . So Thankyou I will be back .

    I have been lucky to experience this restaurant chain in Singapore and USA. The Melbourne restaurant is equally as tasty with lots of variety on the menu and everything to perfection. Price in general is high end comparing to having the same dishes in say China but overall we had a nice time and enjoyed every dish.
