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.

    We enjoyed the service today. Wait staff were very friendly. The main course food took a long time to come as it was busy. It would be good to put some noise absorbing materials as the restaurant with its hard surfaces was very loud. The people were great, food nice wine nice and the view outstanding.

    It’s lovely that we were greeted twice by two separate wait staff who were very friendly, but then it took time to get their attention to order. Food was amazing but with items the delicious Betel Leaf with Prawn, we really needed some wipes to clean sticky fingers. We did our best with napkins, but as an entree I felt sticky for the remainder of the meal. Awesome restaurant and there was a lovely American girl, should have got her name, but she was the hostess that I would like to see in my organisation, where I working on guest experience standards. I will be back!

    The food was absolutely delicious and the Chefs selection was a great deal! The service was decent, although lacking a bit in attentiveness at times. Unfortunately, our glasses (drinks and water) sat empty for quite a while. But overall, a minor issue. Great atmosphere! It was warm inside and loud so if thats going to be a concern then best try a place with better acoustics!
