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.

    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

    The vegetarian selection is still utterly rubbish. Why can’t there be one dish that’s actually not terrible or weird combinations. Also the slaw was pure mustard - the schnitzel was super crispy though
