“My fiancé and I got the Thai shrimp and the pig and fig flatbread pizza, and both were absolutely amazing! One of the best meals out we’ve had in a long time”
“Indoor dining with romantic atmosphere. Excellent staff and very attentive.”
“We have been eating here for a while and it’s only ever gotten better. The staff isn’t just help, they are kind and friendly, very attentive and prompt. Even the kitchen staff was more than happy to answer question about how they make the rice (we had to know because it’s the best rice!). For the price, you simply can’t find a better meal. I’m able to eat hot pot, hibachi, and kbbq all at the same time! Also, their appetizers are outstanding!! 10/10 highly recommend and always will!!”
“Really enjoying the new winter menu! A fav is the BLT stack and the ravioli. A special shout out to Sequoia and the bar staff for always making awesome drinks and excellent service.”

“The food was good, I fasted all day because they had a three course menu for their restaurant week and our server was great. We were greeted and seated promptly. The restaurant is so small and cozy so it’s great for a date, however the only thing that went wrong was there was a table full of a bunch of rowdy, loud people. I know it’s not the restaurants fault, but I wish they would tell them to sthu because wow I couldn’t even hear my friends sitting directly across from me. They were soo freaking loud, I head all of their business. There was one lady with a giant mouth who just had the loudest, most obnoxious laugh. I feel like she ruptured my right ear drum.”
“Do not get the sample dozen box if you don't want to be plagued with learning that what you thought was your favorite donut is not because you've tried something new! If you don't like friendly customer service, don't talk to Mike. He will make sure to try and get you what you want and then some. And... if you like to search for donut filling this is not the place for you. It is not possible to not get some in every bite. If you are weak, bring a friend to help you carry these absurdly heavy, heavenly things. But if you do, you will risk having to share with them, so choose your person wisely. So bottom line that no thanks to you, I have found my new favorite donut shop ❤️ Well done guys! I'm so glad you are not on the way to my work as I would surely struggle to not stop there daily!”
“We would rate our experience at Choice Korean Food a 4/5. The lunch special was reasonably priced and satisfying, though not particularly memorable, and the side portions were on the smaller side. We enjoyed the beef bulgogi and spicy garlic wings, with the japchae being our favorite side. We appreciated that the wings were saucy and actually spicy. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the restaurant offers ample seating, fun decor, K-pop and food videos, and even a ramen station. It was also nice to be able to order via QR code or at a kiosk for efficiency.”

“We stopped here during a visit to Yorktown. The food and atmosphere were excellent but the best part was our server Chrissy! She was attentive, fun and showed she really cares about the business and customer experience. She was very busy but I watched her give each table attention! We had a great time thanks to her!”
“Our experience was SUPER fun! Jeff our waiter… PHENOMENAL!! Food was fresh and did not disappoint!!”
“MJ was one of the best waiters I’ve had for my family. Even though my kids are crazy they loved him and we had a great time. Thanks man!”

“OMG the food and service is AMAZING! I ordered the chicken tenders and let me tell you: sooooo freaking good! I wish all restaurants made their chicken tenders and fries like this. i even ordered empandas and their carrot cake to go. My husband and I are already planning the next time we go. Such friendly people and atmosphere. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Four of us visited on Valentine's night. We walked in and none was there to greet us so we just sat down at the open table. Mostly two seater tables but they had two 4tops and a party of 6 in the middle. A few moments after sitting a waitress came. I could tell they weren't used to the rush but they did pretty good.
The food was hot and tasty. The staff was nice and answered all questions. The bathroom was spacious and clean. I would go visit again.”
“First time eating here. Service was great and loved the food! Very accommodating.”
“Crumbl cookies are absolutely delicious — soft, thick, and perfectly gooey in the center with just the right amount of sweetness. Each bite tasted freshly baked and full of flavor. Definitely worth the hype!”
24 Hour Restaurants
“Not gonna lie, thought it was going to be hoodish, but the cooks where hustling as well as the waitresses. Cliental, well remember you are not down by the pier and shizz, but it was an atmosphere of blue collar families enjoying food made by blue collar workers!! Clean as well....”
“I always have the most pleasant experience at this Waffle House location. Thank you to all the staff for such great customer service! I also want to highlight Heidi!! Every time I pick up my order, she greets me by name, and welcomes me with a smile. My order is always ready in a timely manner and is correct. She really just goes above and beyond and I really appreciate her for that! Thank you so much to the whole team!!”
“A few nights ago, I had a craving for some ice cream. This place is supposedly open 24 hours. So my son and I head to this Sonic and it is open close to midnight. We ordered our food . My son got a Coney hotdog meal and I wanted a king kong ice cream but they only had mediums. The service was acceptible, food wise there are no complaints.”
“This is the ONLY location in Newport News I order from. My preferred time is DAYTIME. I've done evening/night and it's NOTHING like day shift. Night shift needs some MAJOR WORK. I understand it's fast food however most employees on night are younger and rather chill on their phones rather complete orders correctly and in a timely manner. I have a big family so the points through the mobile app helps alot. Late nights food is cooked to order. Stop by during lunch or LATE night ...evening shift NO.”
“Beneath 2 restaurants here and Hampton Rose area to McDonald's.And the service both time was terrible.Either.They don't know how to train your people anymore.Which McDonald's was known for well or they just don't care.With the prices being this high in the service dispatlamcdonald's is making bank period they should be investigated for price gouging”
“I came thru this morning and had been having a ROUGH WEEK! No sooner had I pulled into the drive thru I heard a warm welcoming “ GOOD MORNING THIS IS MS. Jean” … did my day turn around. She asked me how I was, she promptly and politely took my order and my mood lifted instantly. Thank you Ms. Jean ( and also thank you to the wonderful polite man who gave me my order as he is also very warm and professional) for making my morning just a little better. Simple kindness goes a long way. 🥰”
“Our server Jake was awesome! Super attentive and helpful. Good and drink on point as always. We will be back!”
“Really good spot. Very open space and there's a good selection of craft beers. We came when it was a little quiet so wish there was some live music but either way the beers were flowing and they were good. Customer service was spot on from the minute we walked in and very friendly. Saved this place and hope we can return.”
Takeout Restaurants
“There is a dedicate page for the vegan choices! Very delicious and the service is so friendly. Don’t let the outside scare you away. It’s great on the inside. Very authentic all around. They recommend typically take your spice level one done as that’s also authentic.”
“1700 in Newport News is an absolute gem. Stopped in for a flight and left borderline obsessed. Every pour was a winner, the vibe was on point, and the owners? So lovely we almost asked to be adopted— still open to it. This place has heart, style, and seriously good beer. We’ll be back — probably too often.”
“Byrds is just about as good as you can get when it comes to a Mom & Pop.
The quality of food is impeccable, the service is seamless, and they respect the value of your dollar.
Definitely one of my favorite spots of all time, and I selfishly hope their doors stay open for a long long time!”
“The food is delicious. My family enjoys the Cajun Seafood Boil.”
“The food was delicious, the restuarant looks very modern, and the staff is super friendly. I will definitely be back for sure.”

“The BEST FAMILY RESTAURANT IN TOWN! Amazing grilled cheeseburgers and phenomenal chicken sandwiches! Friendly service with the most beautiful smiles :) Melt in your mouth chili cheese dogs! Thank you for having us for a Hidenwood Elementary School Spirit Night and our PTA meeting. We had a blast!”
“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. 💕”
“Port Arthurs is my favorite Chinese Restaurant. I love the fact that they are locally owned and have been here for as long as I can remember . They are a staple in Newport News and never disappoint. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The food is delicious and menu is extensive. Y’all, it’s that’s good! .”
“I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts on the Avocado Chicken Bacon Wrap I recently tried. It was exceptionally fresh and truly delicious, exceeding my expectations. The combination of flavors was delightful and left me very satisfied. Thank you for offering such a wonderful dish. I look forward to enjoying more of your menu in the future. HDR”
“I currently live in AL, but attended CNU and still have family in the area.
EVERY time I come visit...I always make a stop to the Subway Station. EVERY. TIME.
Absolutely love this place and their sandwiches. Eating one always brings back a flood of happy memories and I'm SO very thankful that the sandwich that I ordered 25 years ago tastes the very same as today.”
“We picked Saffron at random for a pre-show dinner. We were most pleasantly surprised! Service was attentive, the food was really good, and the atmosphere was warm and relaxing. Thank you, Saffron, for a nice evening out!”
“The food was magnificent. The service was great. The atmosphere was really good. I would definitely recommend this place again. Roberta the server was excellent.”
“Very good food hard working wait staff. Unfortunately, there were not enough wait staff for the restaurant, so the food and drinks came out slowly. If you have a lot of time to linger, I recommend this place, if not, get the take out!”
“Food was EXCELLENT; entertainment value of its preparation was superb.”
“The Chicken and Dumplings were delicious . Was disappointed that there were pieces of bone in it.”
“I'm A long-time Health Trail customer. Started going for essential old as a teen, then vitamins as an adult. They have new ownership nod and I really like the changes they're making. I love the classes they offer and their smoothies, I definitely recommend seeing their changes!”
“the food was simply amazing 👏 the ladies working were super sweet!!. they did their thing today out in williamsburg!”
“I have been going here for the last 3 months. Love the way they fry their fish. My toddler loves it too. Says more fish when she is done with the portion I give her. They have rather large pieces of fish. Can't go wrong with Croaker, whiting, trout or flounder! Usually, prepare the fish quickly. Call in for faster service!”
“Best meal I ever had. They did not disappoint in the least. The ambiance is fire!!! Great energy and hospitality all around. The owner is an absolute doll. The food is beyond my expectations and did not disappoint.”
“I’m a regular here, probably visit once a week for their all you can eat lunch. It is DELICIOUS!
As a lifelong sushi lover who has spent many years looking for a worthwhile all you can eat in Newport News, I can say with certainty that they offer the best all you can eat sushi on the whole peninsula. Great food, great people, and a great time!”
“Our first time there, 5/10/24. My wife had the club sandwich and I had the Cubana. While our order was being prepared we both had a cappuccino. My wife could only eat half her sandwich. I should have also saved half of mine, I was stuffed. Way better in quantity and price than Panera. We split a piece of cinnamon streusel coffee cake and several cups of coffee. (free refills). The atmosphere was like eating in an old fashioned dinning room in a B&B. They have so much more to offer than I can put in this review. Try them out soon, I'm sure you'll be as pleased as we were.”
“Perfect venue for gathering, birthday parties for 20! The service was excellent, the food was delicious. You won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend. Our server was comical and sweet. Thank you.”
“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.”
“Good food! Good people… our Thank you cleaners & tailor shop is having a popup experience here on Tuesdays and Thursdays 10:30am-2pm. Come with your cleaning and alterations: get pinned; cleaned and/or altered; and pick up! Bringing experienced, quality, and professional service to the Newport News shipyard.

“Went to dinner for my nephews birthday last night and it was fantastic. Food was delicious! Our chef, Alex, was hysterical. My daughter said he had two jobs, chef AND comedian. Our server Katrina was always right there when we needed her. KUDOS!!!”
“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”
“The food was fantastic. Even the waitress was wonderful ❣️❣️❣️”
“I love the food the food is delicious to gives you a nice size portion and you get your money's worth will definitely recommend this to other people”
“As a professional big back I rarely give 5 stars across the board. For a chain restaurant, it was AMAZING. The steak melts in your mouth, cooked perfectly medium rare.
Service was fantastic. I don't remember our server's name, but she was on point; very courteous and professional.
Guys, try the parmesian crust. Trust me.”
“Fabulous!!!! New favorite sushi place with fantastic prices!!! Staff is super nice. Must try! And several vegetarian/vegan options.”
“During my visit at papa John's the cashier that took my order was very polite and had great customer service skills his name was Kelvin. His customer service made me want to come back again”

Manager Jay and server Jordan went above and beyond customer service ensuring our continued patronage. They both were delightful and professional. We look forward to our next visit.”

“The chicken wings are great here!!! I love the flavors and the quality of the chicken. The only reason they got 4 stars is the sides are a hit or miss. Sometimes my fries are crispy and perfect and others it’s soggy and over saturated in oil but still piping hot. The location is very clean but service can be better.”
“The food is generally good for what it is; essentially ballpark food. The milkshakes are probably the best thing on their menu and they have many options. Overall, the customer service is good.......but their drive thru speaker is horrendous. It's extremely loud to where you have to cover your ears, they can barely hear you even when yelling back into it, and the overall experience makes you regret your decision to use the drive thru. It actually borderline makes you irritated having a speaker well over 100db in your ear and you have to keep repeating yourself because the quality on the receiving end is obviously just as terrible.”

“We came out here for monster jam which was PRETTY AWESOME! then we stopped at Popeyes to get a snack and the crew was very helpful and kind even though they were pretty busy kamora our cashier was very helpful and efficient. As we ate Mrs. Fran came out to our table to check on us as we waited for fresh spicy fried chicken. I recommend this location.”

“My family and I eat here often. My husband is Puerto Rican and his family lives on the island this is the only place they eat when they come to visit. They have great authentic food. I always get the bandeja paisa and the portion is always great, the sauce for the steak is so good. I love chicharron and chorizo so the paisa is the best option to get both. My husband loves their mofongo. We’ve had both kinds of empanadas they sell and they both are delicious. Their tres leches cake is always a good dessert. We had service from Vanessa and Emerson tonight and had no issues they checked in just enough. We have also had Vanessa for a server in the past and she has always been friendly and attentive.My family and I eat here often.

“Been meaning to try this place and today was the day. Order at one of the kiosks, take a number sign to your table, and boom, food is delivered hot & fresh. Maybe a tich overpriced, but it certainly beats Mickey D next door. The interior is very clean and there's a good number of seats available. One of the better options for 'fast food.'”
