I was honestly shocked when the guy knocked. The pork fried rolls were decent run of the mill egg rolls with Thai chili sauce. The pas Thai, while not authentic, had really good flavor and I would gladly order again The bad: the papaya salad was flavorless, the fresh rolls fell apart the second you touched them and had so much ice berg lettuce in them they were ere noodles and ice burg. The pork belly was decent but again just plain and not well seasoned. I hope I just hit them On an off night

Four of us wanted to celebrate my birthday with sushi and Single Fin was nearby and had good…read morereviews. I wasn't sure what to expect due to it being in a strip mall, but it was amazingly good! I love sushi and due to my business travel have had it all over the country. The fish was fresh and plentiful. When you go to some sushi restaurants, the nigiri and sashimi can be short and thin. That is definitely not the case here. You receive nice slabs of fresh fish. Delicious! I also love Thia food. I wish I could have had more, but settled for the green papaya salad as my appetizer to be shared. My other guests had never had it before but everyone agreed it was very good. My wife had the panang chicken curry and enjoyed that along with some sushi. My two other guests also enjoyed their sushi and stated how fresh the tuna was multiple times. The place was busy but clean. I liked that Single Fin did not skimp on the sushi but also on the little things like having quality chop sticks. The prices were reasonable. Service was good but could have been better. I fully understand that beach service is tough and we were there after Labor Day. We are here for two weeks and will definitely return for more.

Want to go back and try more of their delicious food! It's not overly large inside so coming at an off time (right at 4) we were able to get a seat but I bet it can get busy! They do have outside dining so if it's not too hot or cold there is that option!

We visited on a Wednesday evening around 7pm with a party of three. We ordered two Sapporos, a…read moreshrimp sandwich, an order of Vang rolls, and two garlic noodles. The restaurant was fairly empty, with only three other tables occupied, so we were surprised by the length of the wait. Our two canned Sapporos didn't arrive until about 30 minutes after ordering. The shrimp sandwich took approximately 45 minutes, and the Vang rolls arrived after about an hour. After waiting an hour, we were informed that the garlic shrimp for our garlic noodles was unavailable, despite it being part of our original order. Unfortunately, the Vang rolls were so salty that we couldn't finish them. Throughout the meal, our water glasses were never refilled, and there was little communication about the delays or unavailable menu items. After roughly 90 minutes of waiting, multiple delays, and learning that several items were unavailable, we decided to pay for what we had received the two Sapporos, the shrimp sandwich, and the Vang rolls, which came to about $70. Perhaps we visited on an off night, but the combination of the slow service, poor communication, unavailable menu items, and disappointing food quality made for a frustrating experience. Based on this visit, I don't see myself returning. +1 Vibe +0 Taste +0 Presentation +0 Service +0 Value

One of the best Chinese restaurants in VA, best Chinese restaurant in Virginia Beach of course…read more While it's a bit pricy, but you won't be disappointed by the quality of the food. We went there twice during the first weekend of September, and carry food back home to Maryland. I ordered Chengdu Fried Rice to test the chief's skill because I was born in Chengdu, I know everything about this dish, and the chief made a 100% authentic fried rice which surprised me.

What do most of us want to experience when going out to eat? My answer would be to have an…read moreincredible experience unlike cooking at home. Well, I had an incredible lunch experience at Wang Jiang Lou that made my day! It all began with the warm welcome, followed by incredible service table side and even as I left the team made me feel good (More later!). Whoever designed this restaurant knows something about creating an escape from the world experience. The paneling, table settings, lighting, and every inch of the dining area allowed me to take a deep breath escaping from a hectic hot and humid Virginia Beach weekday hustle! The $16 lunch is a bargain! Offering several impressive entrees plus soup. I am extremely particular about Hot and Sour soup and this bowl was delicious with a subtly of flavors and a pleasant silky texture. I consumed every last drop and returned a clean bowl! I chose Yu Xiang Pork as my entree, which my waitress said was one of the top two favorites along with the pork belly. She said she would give the Yu Xiang Pork the edge. She was right because I loved this dish! I like heat and this offered heat. I like varied texture and this had a range of textures. I want flavor that makes you eat everything served and this delicious lunch offering succeeded. For the price I was so impressed with the variety of mushrooms!! The cherry on top for this visit (No, I didn't get an ice cream sundae.) was the warm thank you's PLURAL that I received from the people up front as I left. Their smiles were beaming at me and they genuinely made me feel like they were happy I came in for a $16 lunch. I said with a wink that I was going to the kitchen to see if they would provide the same smiles of thanks and was told that they would (No, I didn't go to find out.). Clearly a great team serving delicious food in an awesome setting made me wish I lived in Virginia Beach but then I stepped outside into the heat, humidity and hectic world that this FIVE STAR restaurant named Wang Jiang Lou made me forget about for an hour.

The wings were pretty big and had a decent flavor. The ramen was flavorful and had delicious shredded pork, and the dessert was a mountain of ice cream and cake that we also shared.

Oh my God, what an experience I was very much so unaware that the Marriott at Virginia Beach…read moreoceanfront offered a rooftop on their rooftop is called Orion's roof. It's on the 23rd floor of the Marriott as soon as I arrived I saw that they offer valet parking so I opted into doing that. Then I was instructed to go to 23rd floor to enter the rooftop. Luckily we made a reservation because Orion's roof is known for always being busy and you might have a long wait. However once you met with the hostess, she took us to our table. We sat towards the back of the restaurant with the view of the oceanfront, which is gorgeous. They also have seating on the actual like outside rooftop where they have fire pits, and you can overlook the ocean as well as the city. However, as soon as we sat down, our waitress came over she explained the menu it is a Asian cuisine restaurant so they were out a lot of Asian cuisine options she also gave us a drink menu and she needs suggestions. I forget what type of drinks that I got, but they were delicious. I believe the first one was a pomegranate martini. The second drink was another pomegranate martini and the third drink was espresso martini. Once my friend arrived we decided to order appetizers. The first appetizer I ordered was the oysters which were fresh oysters with lemon, hot sauce, vinegar, horseradish, any type of topping that you would like my friend ordered their muscles, which came in this really good brown broth with bao buns. The broth was so delicious. He had to drink it like soup. Once all the muscles were gone. The muscles were cooked to perfection very well seasoned very well cooked not chewy just very delectable the oysters or chefs kiss they were very, very delicious flavorful and cooked to the right temperature. Next, we ordered our entrées. I ordered the Bronzino fish that came came with rice and a vegetable my friend ordered I think the Atlantic cod which also came with vegetables and rice. We did not order dessert, but we did order a espresso martini. The espresso martini was great. We asked for Baileys to make it a little more smoother and sweet, and it was also recommendation from our waitress. The ambience was to die for from the views the music playing in the background the upbeat waitresses and waiters are moving around the restaurant. It was very like high class and fancy restaurant so that was that was really nice. Overall, it was a great experience. I really enjoyed it. I wish I would've known about this rooftop earlier in my space at the Hilton oceanfront but I definitely will return. I suggest if you were in the area and you want to try rooftop and you wanna have like a little classy evening or good dinner that's not typically just seafood. I suggest trying out this roof top. You will not be disappointed. Cheers.

It's hard to write a review about a place with this view and then talk about anything else. So let…read moreme get that out of the way first: the view is amazing! Everything else would have to be pretty bad to overshadow it. Fortunately, the food complements the view. It was excellent. I had the branzino, which was delicious, and my wife had the short ribs, which were excellent as well. But I think that's where "excellent" and above ends. Our waitress was good and provided solid service, but I think the service overall could--and should--be better. The real letdown was the reservation process. We were a group of six and had reservations. When we arrived, we waited about 10-15 minutes before being directed to the sushi bar. Who makes reservations for six people at a sushi bar? That shouldn't even be an option for a party of six. To their credit, the waitstaff pulled together a section for us in the bar area after another 15-20 minute wait. Unfortunately, it was an awkward setup for six people trying to converse and have a good time. We asked if we could be moved to the empty section next to us, but were told those tables were reserved for parties of two. No problem--that sounds plausible. The problem is, those tables stayed empty for the entirety of our visit. The drinks were average as well. Anytime I order an Old Fashioned and it comes with regular ice cubes instead of one large cube, I already know what's coming. The ice melts too quickly and waters the drink down. Orion's Roof could--and should--be an easy five-star dining experience, but it falls short. The good news is that most of the issues holding it back seem relatively easy to fix.

The only downside is parking can be difficult to find, especially during busy hours. I usually call ahead and place my order, then quickly stop by to pick it up. It saves a lot of time and makes the whole experience much easier. Overall, if you're craving quick, tasty Asian food in downtown Norfolk, this is definitely a place I'd come back to!

First and last time here!…read more I was looking for a quick bite and found this place on Yelp. They had pretty good reviews, but I should have trusted the lower-rated ones. When I arrived, I was one of three people in the entire restaurant. Two people were dining in, and I was ordering my food to go. I wasn't greeted or anything, which was the first red flag. The cashier was about to take my order but then decided that I can just order on the kiosk; however, you can't pay on the kiosk, so that didn't make any sense to me. I decided to go with the soy garlic six-piece wings. They cook them to order, so there was a 15-minute wait. I sat at one of the six empty tables in the restaurant. A white woman walked in and wanted to dine in. Instead of her choosing another empty table, the cashier said that since I was ordering my food to go, I could sit somewhere else. This was extremely unnecessary and racist. My blood was boiling at this point, and I wished I could have canceled my order and gotten a refund. While the food came out hot, I did not enjoy the smell once I opened it. It had a weird odor, which made it hard for me to enjoy the meal. The chicken also lacked a lot of flavor. They rely heavily on the sauce, which isn't even balanced. I ordered soy garlic, and all I could taste was sugar. I couldn't even finish all of my food. Also, the wings are big, which I am not a fan of. Overall, this entire experience was awful, and for these reasons, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this place.

Amazing food and service! Love the authentic food and vibe of this place…read more Everything was perfectly season and tasted really good. Warning, the Dakbul is really spicy and the portion is for more than one person. Chicken feet are bone in and you're given a little bucket for the bones. Don't forget to ask for an apron and gloves as this can get messy. With the spicy and sweetness of the rich sauce I can see why this is paired with a nice cold drink. The rice balls were also really great to help cool you down. At the end of the meal you're also given a semi frozen yakult. Perfect way to end a great Korean meal.

Wish I didn't have to write a review like this BUT When a…read moreplace that serves Filipino food doesn't have the basic offerings like turon (fried bananas), you'd wonder why on a Saturday there's not a soul in this place. You'd have to ring a bell for someone to come out from the kitchen. Oh and not to mention where is the so-called Filipino hospitality? Aking mga kababayan? I am appalled by the fact that when they couldn't serve food that we wanted, the worker there chased after us when we left (ay naku!) and yelled "I tell you this - do not come and use our restroom)" there weren't signs anywhere... no wonder this restaurant is up for sale. In this world where anyone can choose to go to any place, you'd think that some hospitality is needed. Who knows having people come for any reason might actually result in some patronage.

The food is really good and the choice of selection, though small compared to other "turo turo" spots, it's still something you can choose from. I can get a little here and there from the owner about the food since she's a women of few words Hahaa LOL! But she does care about the quality of food she puts out. She said she cooks with virgin olive oil, including the fried stuff vs the yucky oils. That's a win for me! And she uses quality meat and ingredients. She cooks fresh everyday so no putting out old food from the day before. I think she's opening up to me y'all! Hahaa I just go in there and just give her a big smile and say I'm back! She chuckles...so don't be scared now and go try her out. LOL!
