Susan's is one of the local spots for getting your Filipino fix. The staff is friendly and welcoming as well as the space. Importantly the food feels like home. If you are need of a comfort meal this is the place. The portions are large for a good price and I can stretch it for more than one meal. This past visit I ordered a 2 entree plate with chicken adobo and chicken stew with pancit. I also got some lumpia and Turon and ordered some Palabok for a co-worker. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious and everyone inside the restaurant was so kind. Give this spot a try for take out or dine in. read more

I stopped by Susan's Kitchenette because I was in the area and wanted some lumpia. When I walked in there was only one person ahead of me. They didn't have a menu posted, so I was given one when I asked. The food is cafeteria style where your plate is made in front of you. They had several options like fish, pork belly, menudo, lumpia, pancit, rice, sisig, and etc. They also had desserts, chips, turon, and drinks. I chose menudo, pancit, pork belly, and lumpia with a side of sauce for about $15. The prices seemed pretty reasonable. The portions were decent also. The menudo was flavorful and filling the meat was tender but there were a few pieces with fat. The pancit was tasty. It wasn't heavy on vegetables, I wish there were more. The pork belly was crispy and I liked it, but a few pieces were over cooked and had an awkward burnt old flavor. I can't really explain it. But the taste caught me off guard. I enjoyed the lumpia. They had beef inside and went good with the sauce. Their sweet chili sauce is yellow, not like most that are orangeish red. But it was good. The staff was busy. They didn't really talk much, but were nice. They also have a banquet room for private events. I do like their Filipino food more than some other places in the area. Definitely check them out!! read more

Nice cozy spot that makes you feel like you're in a family's house and eating homemade Filipino food. The ladies that were serving/taking orders were also so nice and patient. They were able to help me decide what to get since it all look delicious! The tables had Lysol wipes to wipe down your table with and big jug of hand sanitizer! There was a self serve of any condiments you would also like along with free coffee. If you've ever been to Titas in San Diego, this would be the place to go for comparison. Ive tried other Filipino restaurants here and it's not the same . Now all they need is a bbq like Titas and I am set! Oh and the halo halo for desert after my meal hit the spot. read more

Food served fast. Food was absolutely delicious! The desserts was very delicious also. Definitely going back.

This is my go to spot for fast on the go Filipino food. I love their chicken adobo, chicken pancit and lumpia. The food is always flavorful and hot. I enjoy stopping in for a bit to eat or sitting in the seating area they have off to the left of the open counter space in between the ballroom area. This place is truly a gem and I encourage any one to stop in and check them out. The service is speedy too, hardly ever a long wait in line as the ladies typically keep it moving pretty fast. read more

This is one of the best Filipino restaurants around. You're always in and out, even if there is a line, the food is delicious and they provide great portion sizes. It is small, but they do also have a dining area where you can sit down. The only con is they do not label the dishes, so you have to ask if you are not familiar with a dish, but the staff are always friendly. read more

Susan's Kitchenette - Pancit, menudo, and afritada - Filipino Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

This Filipino restaurant wasn't quite what I expected. My coworkers and I were craving Filipino food after work, so we drove to the nearest spot from Newport News and ended up here. It was pretty busy since it was a Saturday evening, but we were able to pick out our dishes. The pancit was plentiful and delicious. We also ordered caldereta, pork adobo, pork with peas, and egg rolls, though the egg rolls were a bit dry. For dessert, we had turon and saipain, which were both amazing. After our meal, we were invited to join in some karaoke, which made the night even more fun. read more

It's really good, comfort Filipino food. I enjoyed their pork menudo and beefsteak. It's affordable too and they have an awesome karaoke room right next door. True Pinoys! read more

I am so glad we decided to give this place a try. Their bakery is one of the very best in the area. They also have very fair prices and great service! read more

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. read more

On the search for good Filipino food in this area. This is my first stop. I'm not sure if you can dine in but when I walked in the place was kind of a dump. It was a buffet at the counter and the 2 ladies there were not very friendly or helpful with ordering. I was kinda confused. There seemed to be a dining room in the back. I didn't want to stay so I just grabbed some food from the buffet. Not even sure if you can order separate. I got beef stew and lumpia and rice. For buffet style food it was good. The stew had good flavor but a lil greasy and lumpia was crispy and not too greasy. Food was good but I won't be back. Onto the next spot. read more

Susan's is SO good! I always get the combo #3 with pancit, chicken curry & beef stew and it never disappoints. I'd be hard pressed to say what my favorite dish is--they all have such amazing flavor. Good portions and very reasonably priced. Lumpia is always good and fresh, too! Nice dessert selection. The entrees aren't labeled however the staff is super helpful if you ask what each of the dishes are. We typically order for takeout but there's a back room with seating if you want to dine in. GO HERE!!! read more

Well. Went here because we wanted some Filipino food. Met with family. The lumpia was good. The pancit was great. The Tocino was fantastic. Everyone was so nice. The only thing I didn't like was the adobo. It had a good flavor but the chicken bones were out of control and trying to kill me. The bathroom floor was also very wet. People were so nice and karaoke began. Very very affordable. I would definitely get food from here again. read more

Susan's Kitchenette - Great vibe here. - Filipino Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I ordered diniguan, menudo, two fried bangus, and a slice of royal bibingka. I'm particular about other people's Filipino cooking, but I must say that the diniguan and menudo tasted like my grandma's cooking. However, the fried bangus was a bit overcooked, and the royal bibingka cake was dry, almost like chewing rubber. The service was okay, but I felt a bit rushed through the line, hence I did not get any photo shot of the food. I saw two dining areas, but the ambiance was very basic without any distinguishing features. Overall, I enjoyed my experience! I would like to come back and try the rest of the menu. read more

Love their lumpia, pancit, adobe, etc. I wish they still allowed paying for an order in advance. We usually call in for pickup but have also eaten at Susan's and thoroughly enjoyed it! I lived in VA BEACH all my life; moved to NORFOLK a year ago and still go to Susan's! Keep up the great work after all these years!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I went to Susan's Kitchenette for a surprise 50th birthday party. Our party was in one of the banquet rooms and the room itself was a decent size where you can easily fit 100 guests with a dance floor. And as a guest, I sat very comfortably at one of the tables. The staff was very attentive throughout the night taking out trash, picking up empty plates, making sure the food trays were not empty. There were a lot of food options available and they were all very delicious! read more

The food is too good to be true and the only thing better than the food is the hospitality. The atmosphere comes across as a friend's home and not a restaurant. When regulars welcome you like you've been there before you know it's good. The pancit was extraordinary and the lumpia was so good I ordered 10 to go. And if you're a karaoke beast be prepared to battle. People were so good when I first walked in I thought it was the radio. I have never been to the Philippines, but I have many Filipino friends and Suzanne's is just as good as their mom's. read more

Best authentic Filipino food in the area. Love the beef steak, fried chicken, beef caldareta, and everything else is so good.

All the food they serve is delicious! The service is great! Never disappointed when we eat here!

I've came here for a birthday party at the party room and the food were decent, so I'm giving this place a try as a normal customer. The amount of food they stuff in one box can feed a family! Very patience with explaining what the food is because I don't know what they are. Pork stew and onion n beef are delicious. Pancit has a lot of veggies in it. The food is amazing, the size is amazing, the price is even better. I got a 2 entrees with Pancit and it came up to less than $9! read more

One of my favorite places for Filipino food. I like that it's cafeteria style so I can get my food quickly. They give you huge portions for a low price! I'd recommend the chicken adobo, pancit, and lumpia! The beef stew is great as well! read more

I was just looking for a parking lot to set my gps and I looked up and I saw a little sign that said the name of the restaurant and I looked it up and I realized it had good reviews. I went in and they had a bakery section on one side and a had "build your own meal" type of food. The food and bakery was so delicious from the rice to the meats, the desserts and the price was reasonable. It's not a Instagram aesthetic restaurant, but it's worth 100%. read more

Susan's Kitchenette - Filipino Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Whenever people mentions Susan's Kitchenette, the first thing that comes to my mind is Filipino parties. Before this year, I've been to Susan's a few times because of the birthday parties and baptisms, but I've never ate here for lunch or dinner until a few weeks ago. I was craving for pancit and fried fish, and this restaurant is the closest Filipino restaurant from job. I ordered pancit, fried milkfish, and shrimp ukoy. The shrimp ukoy is a deep fried fritters with sweet potatoes and veggies. If you've never had Filipino foods before, this restaurant is definitely a good place for you. They serve all the Filipino foods that you only get to eat when you go to parties. However, if you are like me who grew up eating Filipino foods and has a Filipino mom, you might get disappointed. Still, this place is a good restaurant for your Filipino food cravings. read more

Place has gone down considerably. Had to call them out on not getting my egg rolls but the funny thing was, there were at least two or three people ahead of me that also ordered combos that were supposed to come with egg rolls. Entree was mainly rice with no utensils. read more

Susan's Kitchenette - Pork BBQ, Dinuguan, Pancit. - Filipino Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

The vegetable with chicken coconut milk is sautéed with garlic and onions the coconut milk enhances the taste of the sweetness of the squash and green beans. Halo Halo is a dessert it has sweet beans yellow and red, ice cream, plan, sweet Plantain bananas, milk and shaved ice. It's refreshing. Beef stew is delicious the beef is tender the sauce with potatoes, bell peppers red and green, and carrots makes a great blend. Beef steak the beef is marinated and fried until golden brown and the caramelized onions add great flavor to the sauce. The crunchiness of the onions add texture to the beef. The service is good the staff are courteous and kind. The place is clean. If you came in at certain time of the day they are people who live karaoke and sing their favorite songs. read more

Finally stopped by this place for some Filipino food. I knew they had banquet and party rooms for gatherings and had only read about restaurant/dining in. There was a large selection of food - you pick what you want (1 entree and 2 entree combo plates). I came for the Dinuguan (Chocolate Meat - entree not for everyone) and pork adobo (2 entrees) My daughter picked the chicken Adobo (1 entree). Our dinner was excellent. Large portions (I'll probably go with 1 entree next time as the portions provided is a lot and yummy). Selection of pick and go desserts including puto, ube and ensaymada. Good sized eating area with lots of condiments. Even had a karaoke machine where regulars come in and sing. Excellent place. Highly recommend. I'll be coming back here for dinner when I am back in Norfolk. read more

Susan's Kitchenette is a solid Filipino spot serving up classic dishes in a cafeteria style setting. We stopped by here on a Saturday and grab two of their entrée deals for $5.50 each. A real bargain. Me and my husband both got pancit, I got pork ribs and he got pork stew. The pancit was delicious and the pork was super tender. My husband did complain a bit about the amount of small bones in his pork but he didn't seem to mind too much. We also tried the mung bean cakes from the little bakery area and sapin sapin. We did not like the mung bean cakes but I did enjoy the sapin sapin. It was a glutinous rice dessert flavored with coconut milk and ube. As we were leaving we did grab a couple of the lumpia to go. The lumpia were the stars of the show. Perfectly fried and crispy. Simply delicious! read more

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. read more

They are Super close in proximity to me and they were able to indulge my last minute request for 50 lumpia an hour prior(despite them having graduation orders to fill with limited staff). I like the way they season their lumpia and the size of their lumpia. I like their pancit as well. It seems to be always busy when I do go, but the wait isn't very long. Almost Five years ago I had a family get together there for family out of town the day after my wedding in their smaller banquet room. They only had one at the time but have now expanded to a second one that is way bigger and even nicer. The smaller one is nice as well and has a karaoke machine that we utilized as well at the time. It's a good venue to celebrate a special occasion that's reasonable, clean and nice. They even have different colored tablecloths/ napkins and chair covers you can choose from. read more

Stopped by with my family and we were impressed by all the different options to choose from. Lots of freshly cooked Filipino dishes- adobo, caldereta, pancit, BBQ sticks and tons of dessert! The price is super cheap too! Can't beat it! We will definitely come back! read more

This is a reliable, authentic Filipino restaurant. My family has been coming to this restaurant for years now, and we always look forward to the delicious and filling meal. Definitely recommend! One thing to note is that the dine-in area could be better. There's many tables and booths, but the room doesn't circulate air that great. If that's a show stopper for you, just get something for take out and enjoy it on the beach :) food is really good! read more

I used to live in San Diego and was surrounded by Filipino restaurants so when I moved here and found out this place was right down the street from my house I i was so excited to try it. It wasn't until after i got my food and was checking in on yelp that I realized this place has a terrible health score. The women behind the counter were really nice. Inside it looked like any other Filipino restaurant I've ever been to. Except they have a side for banquets and stuff which is pretty cool. I got the chicken adobo and pork menudo with rice and i also got the pancit and egg rolls (lumpia?) combo. The pancit was gross. It actually was the worst pancit I've ever had, I don't know if it was just an off day or what, but I ended up throwing it away after trying a bite or two. The chicken adobo was just okay, it was tender but kinda dry on the inside The pork menudo was good. I probably would've never come here after reading the health score violations, but if the food tasted better I would've probably ignored that and came back. It wasn't, so I'll never come here again. read more
