Suzie Wong's

I've been to Suzie Wongs several times.  The last time was a few weeks ago on a Friday evening.  We had some drinks and an appetizer of edamame and we each had an entree; 5 spiced duck, Bi Bim Bap, and fried rice.  Overall the food is good although I thought the Bi Bim Bap could have had a bit more sizzle - I didn't get the crunchy bits of rice that I really like.  I have always been a fan of the 5 spiced duck and it was excellent again.  The fried rice was interesting with crab and asparagus.

Service wasn't great.  The server spilled a bit of my friends cocktail and didn't offer to wipe it up (we grabbed a napkin from a table next to us) and the food came sporadically.  Also, the room is so dark it was kind of depressing.

I usually get carry out from Suzie Wong's and for carry out I would rate it 4 stars - but only give 3 stars for dining in.

Finally went back to this place.  Tried the pineapple chicken again.  The chicken wasn't overcooked but didn't taste right.  I can't figure it out.  Big pieces of chicken.  My wife wanted the crab rangoons.  Just like before - nothing special 4 for $4.95.  I was hungry tonight so went for the Wonton soup at $7.95. It was a big bowl filled with lots of noodles and a few wontons (without pork).  The broth was something between chicken and Beef. I don't recommend it.  My wife got the orange been and enjoyed it. It came with lots of broccoli and cost $12.95.  Average price.  My daughter got the Buddha Delight vegetarian soup bowl. It was not very good.  The side of shrimp for $3.00 and the edammae for $3.95 were good.  

We were the only people in the restaurant on a Saturday night after 9PM.  Food came out quickly but water refills were very slow.  

Others rave about this place; the rest of my family does.  They have a decent menu with choices for Vegetarians.  Just not high on my list.

I went here with my grandfather. He goes out to eat every night and takes me to some of the fanciest, most expensive restaurants around. One night he went here. I had the Chow mein and it wasn't bad. He had the Pineapple chicken and he didn't really like it. The chicken was really too chewy for him, I tried it and I could see what he was talking about. As far as whether or not it was supposed to taste like that, I'm not really sure. I told the waiter he was a judge who goes out to eat everynight and leaves a big tip everywhere he goes, and that he didn't really like the food. The waiter acted like she had never been in a situation where somebody complained about their food. She came over and she actually taste tested the chicken. I've never been to a restaurant where when you complain about the food, they come over to your table to taste test it, just to make sure your not lying. She goes back to speak with the manager, who by the way never even bothered to come over and speak with us personally, and about 5 minutes later the waiter comes out with a free piece of cake!

I'm not saying their food was bad, but I think they need to analyze how they treat their customers. Regardless even though he didn't like the food, he was still nice about it and left the waiter a $20 tip for a $60 meal. So because they didn't want to take a $13 entree off the bill they will be losing hundreds of dollars in return business because I know he will never go there again. On the contrary he loves going to Oriental Wok on Madison Rd and albeit, is a little bit more expensive I'd say their food is higher quality and they know how to treat their customers well.
