Circa 1918 Kitchen and bar 10367 Warwick Blvd, Newport News American • $$$

“My husband and I join another couple from time to time to try new restaurants, as we all consider ourselves "foodies". They had gone to Circa recently, and were excited for us to try it as well. I had heard of Circa because I'd been given a gift card a couple years ago, but I lost it, and only had the envelope and gift card receipt. From the time we walked in to the time we walked out, my husband and I received nothing but the best service. Our waiter, Regina, was exceptional - professional, personable and attentive. She sold my husband on Friday night's entire special. I had the mushroom and leek soup, brisket wontons and bison meatloaf. I'm not ashamed to say I did not come up for air. I ate it all! The pairings, textures, layers of flavor and portion sizes were everything. And to top it all off, I told Regina about my gift card mishap, and the manager honored the card! I was blown away by this dining experience; it was awesome.”

“I love the food here, so I decided to go for my birthday. The service was horrible. Our waiter brought out cups and silverware but no water. Then he seemed to have a bit of an attitude when we asked another waiter for our water. He had no people skills whatsoever.
After we ordered, we were forgotten about. No one came back to our table until we were done and that was after my husband waved someone down. They should at least ask if we're doing okay.
I've never had an issue with the service in the past, but this was also my first time going in the evening.
Not everyone is meant to work in the service industry and some of the wait staff at choice should seek employment elsewhere. None of them showed any evidence of good customer service.”

Nawab Indian Cuisine 11712 Jefferson Ave K, Newport News Indian • $$

“I never shy away from a place because of its location. I found that the hole in the wall places are among the absolute best. Nawab Indian Cuisine is a definite hit.
I highly recommend eating in so you may have an opportunity to experience the service but also cap your meal with the milk chai cardomon. Tea.
First, the staff is very attentive and friendly without feeling overbearing. They watch very closely from a distance.
My meal lamb Rogan was among some of the best I’ve had in the states.
With a Punjabi hand in the kitchen, don’t be afraid to take your Spice level up a level or two. Especially if you’re going with the goat. The full richness of flavor you’ll receive might be worth it.
The basmati used is excellently prepared I’m excited to try a biryani the next time I’m in town.
The rice and the bread were as good or better than fancier restaurants in fancier areas of town.
With that said, don’t let the area or the locals throw you off the parking lot has adequate security for the mall and once inside, you’ll find a clean modern inviting experience that is good for business dinners, family, or even a romantic experience. With the attention from the staff, whatever your goal you’ll achieve it.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Absolutely Delicious!

Peruvian Charcoal Chicken & Wings delivers an explosion of flavor in every bite. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and juicy, with that authentic smoky charcoal taste that sets it apart from anything else. The wings are crispy on the outside, tender inside, and the sauces? Next-level. You can tell everything is made fresh and with care.

The sides—especially the yuca fries and green sauce—are addictive. This place doesn’t just serve food, it serves comfort and flavor in one plate. If you’re craving something bold, satisfying, and full of Peruvian flair, this is the spot. Highly recommended!”

“Another great time spent here! I had the San Jose Burrito! Soooo good! I like the kick of spice added. I also had a margarita (lime). Happy hour special. Wonderful. The place is always clean, plenty of parking (except for Cinco de Mayo) and always a popping environment! We also had the steak fajitas, forgot to picture it ?, it was good as well???. It has changed managers, but it’s still a fantastic place for a good time. Food comes out hot, fresh, and fast. We’ll be back soon!”

“Had lunch here for the first time today. Met a group of old friends. The wait staff was very attentive and accommodating to all of us. Everyone in our group really enjoyed their selections and most of us had enough that we had to take some home. One even ordered more food to go. We will definitely go back. Thankyou for a great experience. 💕”

Highly recommend this little treasure in Newport News. The man (I’m assuming the owner) who served us was so nice and informative about the food of his culture. Thank you so much!

Mandarin Gourmet 605 Newmarket Dr N, Newport News Chinese • $$

“The place could use some spick and span. The customer service could use a little more work. The customer service was not bad and it's not good. You will see what I'm talking about once you visit. Anyway, I ordered the vegetables with garlic sauce and it was delicious with soy sauce. The vegetable egg roll was good(I usually do not like eggrolls). One thing I like about the guy who prepared my food was that he put a napkin at the bottom of the eggroll bag so the eggroll would not be so greasy. I also ordered the general tos. This general tos is different from what I'm used to because this one is very sweet. I've never known the general tos to be sweet and this is overly sweet. He over did it. I'm not a fan of foods that are too sweet. His general tso tastes more like honey chicken. It tasted like he put the whole bag of sugar in there. So What I did was add soy sauce and it made it a little better from the little bit of soy sauce I had. Don't get me wrong, the general tso wasn't bad it's just that I don't like food that's way too sweet. I know younger people would like it because they like sweet foods like that. I would definitely return to this place and recommend it. I just would not return for the general tso.”

He was incredibly attentive, fast, kind, and somehow managed to anticipate my needs before I even had to ask. It’s rare to come across someone with such natural hospitality and professionalism. Alex made my entire dining experience exceptional and he made my food taste even better. Give this man a raise, he’s a gem! Thank you, Alex!

“I love the food here, so I decided to go for my birthday. The service was horrible. Our waiter brought out cups and silverware but no water. Then he seemed to have a bit of an attitude when we asked another waiter for our water. He had no people skills whatsoever.
After we ordered, we were forgotten about. No one came back to our table until we were done and that was after my husband waved someone down. They should at least ask if we're doing okay.
I've never had an issue with the service in the past, but this was also my first time going in the evening.
Not everyone is meant to work in the service industry and some of the wait staff at choice should seek employment elsewhere. None of them showed any evidence of good customer service.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Absolutely Delicious!

Peruvian Charcoal Chicken & Wings delivers an explosion of flavor in every bite. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and juicy, with that authentic smoky charcoal taste that sets it apart from anything else. The wings are crispy on the outside, tender inside, and the sauces? Next-level. You can tell everything is made fresh and with care.

The sides—especially the yuca fries and green sauce—are addictive. This place doesn’t just serve food, it serves comfort and flavor in one plate. If you’re craving something bold, satisfying, and full of Peruvian flair, this is the spot. Highly recommended!”
