The 'nice vibe' and 'great food' make it a 'nice catch up place' or a 'great place for an after work drink and pizza'. The 'live music' on Friday night adds to the fun, but the noise can be an issue for those looking for a quieter setting.

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.

It was a very busy night, the first 30+ night for months and it was clear no one in eltham wanted to cook and they wanted to eat out. We had big table of 12, the restaurant was packed and we didn’t need to wait for service or our food. We were constantly checked on. My mum had a wonderful birthday with her kids and grandkids. Thank you!
