The whole crew was always welcome, the more the merrier, and she was well renowned for creating innovative dishes using the original famous dishes from her home country, and plenty of booze, in her spacious and homey warehouse.This cheeky, vibrant and buzzing Vietnamese Fusion venue is one for your to-do list. Boasting a killer menu and a super cool vibe, this place is known for a cocktail, feast or an intimate date night.

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.

    Went here for a galentines dinner with my friend and we were both blown away with how yummy the food was! Absolutely obsessed with the king fish sashimi and crispy duck wontons. We got the feed me menu which was very reasonably priced and the mains were a good size. Cocktails were superb. Overall such a great experience, the staff were super friendly and accommodating, the food came out quickly and my taste buds will never be the same. Highly recommend.

    Cannot praise Suzie Q enough. Amazing food! Every item on the menu I’ve almost tried now and all you can do is give those on the table with you a stupid grin in disbelief on how good the food is. My favourites are the Kingfish & anything with Duck honestly. Dishes are well portioned and very aesthetic on the plate. The restaurant itself looks incredible, in there you often see other people dining taking photos of the room as well as the food. Beautiful red lighting, with the exposed brick behind the bar, then adding the red carpet makes you think you’re back in the 90’s at times, yet it’s still very modern. And in my experience staff are so lovely. Very helpful which just tops off the dining experience. 10/10
