This is your typical Filipino eatery. Its cafeteria style with all the classic favourites. I live close by and this is my go to place. There is a lot of days when I dont feel like cooking and Susan's makes this real easy not to. You can get a combo meal with 2 entrees with your choice of rice or pancit for a real affordable price. They give you a good portion too. The service was is excellent but they can get busy but they always try their best. This is mainly a dind, takeout and catering business but they have some seating available to eat in. They have two banquet rooms too for functions if needed. As a Filipino and a local to Virginia Beach, if youre looking for one of the best, Susan's is a must try.
9/10 times I usually don't have the chance to take a picture of my food because it's gone way before I take out my phone. This place is solid Filipino food. Talk about filling your box, I mean my food was filled to the brim. I usually get the dinuguan and the monggo here, but boy, they do have a lot more of the classics. The line during lunch is always full, but they do go pretty fast. Nice to have a seating area as well. Did I mention Karaoke ? MAN. This place has it all.
The food was amazing. The combo plates allow everyone in the party to sample many of the flavorful authentic dishes. Lumpia fresh, tasty chicken adobo and delicious menudo. The lady's at counter remained helpful & fast with a line out the door.
This place has people lined up out the door on a Friday night in order to get their take away to take home of the best pancit and lumpia for the price. For seven dollars you can get a full stacked plate of pancit and three lumpia, although we always get an entire other container of lumpia because there's no way that anyone is going to just eat one or two of those delicious morsels. They have various stews and items like fried fish, as well as a cold case with desserts, including items made with Ube. The most fun aspect though is that in the banquet room right next-door sometimes they have karaoke going on, so consider this one of those hidden gems that you'll find off the beaten path here in Virginia Beach. What many people don't know about this area is that there is a large filipino population, and we really celebrate and Enjoy, living in a place with such a rich and diverse food community.
Honestly the best Filipino turo turo in VB. Got some food for catering and they did not disappoint. For 40 bucks you can have about 10 servings of dishes. My family of 5 did not finish the 7 catering orders until eating a week straight of this. Either way, delicious food, good vibes, and cheap meals.
