“Hi Kipp, I wish you were here when I visited today. This was the 1st fine dining place that I've been to where I received multiple calls before coming. 1st call to ask me if I was really coming because it was a busy night with CNU graduating and wanting me to put down a credit card to hold my reservation but changed your mind. 2nd call to ask again if I was coming and to 'set the expectation for the night' advising that you are only a 40 seater restaurant and you want to set your table 3 times a night. So if I could make sure to come on time and not linger longer than 7pm because you have my table booked. Well, I can honestly say that was a 1st. I spoke to other guest while waiting for the restaurant to open to see if they had the same experience. They got multiple calls but weren't asked for a credit card. I did hear another table asking James what happens if they are not done by 7 pm. So James had a table outside cleaned off so that they could finish their coffee and dessert outside. Anyway, food was okay. I'm not sure I could fully enjoy it because of the anxiety of looking at the time. We do a lot of fine dining, so I'm not sure I would rush back since I came in from out of town. The staff you had here tonight was night very friendly andon point. Maybe you could soften your customer service approach for future guests.In my normal reviews I spend more time describing the food. Instead I was more focused on your customer service approach.”

“Definitely coming back here again, love the vibe of the place, good food, fast and friendly service. Everything was flavorful and filling. The Kimbap is the best for sure. I honestly love the menu scan option because it eliminates paper waste, and for people like me that have anxiety I don't always like to talk to waiters so it's convenient to just order and pay for your food online in my opinion. Y'all got a customer for life.”

“While having car serviced at a nearby dealership found this gem tucked away in a quiet spot and walked over to give it a try. Very welcoming staff, quick service and the food was delicious.

Beer Bar • $$
“We ate here for the first time and had great food, drinks and service. Everything was made perfectly and we loved that they had a number of ciders on tap. Everything was great except the atmosphere. There is no atmosphere to speak of. We expected some sort of pub style atmosphere but it is nothing of the sort. Just a converted strip mall spot with high ceilings and bland decor.I still loved the food and would go again, but it is severely lacking for cool atmosphere.”
Dominican • $
“This is our second time trying this place and food is pretty good, affordable, and the lunch portions are very generous. The Trifongo does need a bit more seasoning/ salt. Try their blackberry and soursop smoothies (batidos) and see juices.”
Chinese • $
“Food is really good here. More of a takeout place than a sit down and eat place, but they do have tables if you're so inclined. Very reasonable, too.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible handicapped parking right outside the front door. Bathroom is large enough to get a wheelchair in and out of easily.”

Pizza • $
“So freaking good ! Should have taken a picture but we devoured that! I rate it a 8/8.5. Delivery was fast. They charge for everything condiment, which is annoying. The pizza was hot and fresh. The cheese pull was top tier. We order a supreme stuff pizza. I think they could have added more veggies. There wasn’t much veggies or meat. It felt like I was eating a pepperoni pizza with garden tomatoes sauce. Nonetheless I enjoyed it and want to try more from the menu. I recommend to try this place out.”
Chinese • $
“Food was OK order from GrubHub. Got the shrimp egg foo young they gave me a little bit of gravy for three cakes and a lot of white rice, Crab Rangoon was good, fried wonton was OK but not enough meat, The owner was so nice to replace my order of shrimp egg foo young with extra gravy”

All team members were receptive and respectful. Keep up the good work!”

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! Also that green sauce in this picture was absolutely my favorite!!!”

“I ordered a Bacon Jr. Whopper. It is usually my favorite, but the burger wasn't even warm. I tried calling the phone to rate my experience to complain,but they want you to go online. I tried to call the location where I got the burger, but their phone was out of order. I like Burger King, and I usually have no problems, but not that day. Technically, they do not even deserve a one-star rating.I returned to this location and ordered a Jr. Whopper with bacon/ no cheese combo. It was a 100%+ improvement. They deserved five star or better!!! (Under new management) The burger and french fries were fresh, hot, and delicious. Yum-yum. I will be back!”

Great selection of tap beers, although the beer menu was not an updated one, my server quickly lmk what was available. The food was great and the dressing paired very well with the salad, which was suggested by our server. Great atmosphere and service. I would highly recommend this place. 5 stars.

“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.”

“My husband and I decided to try OMG sushi even though it’s a little out of the way for us, because the sushi places near us with all-you-can-eat options are frankly trash. Immediately you can tell that OMG sushi is more authentic. Their menu is better, and pricing is competitive with other places. Their sushi is fresh, delicious, and has less filler (like breadcrumbs) than other places. The staff is so lovely, and for most of them I think English is their second language. You can tell they all have friendly relationships, which makes for a nice atmosphere. It’s been shockingly empty in there when we’ve gone mid-week patron-wise (we’ve gone twice and definitely will be back!), but the staff have given us space and also been attentive enough (it’s been a very good balance) and the food comes out FAST. You should definitely check it out! My husband wants me to add “that s* is fire!” lol”
Cheesesteaks • $$
“My experience was awesome this the 2nd time in 2 weeks that Rita had prepared my family Philly cheese steaks to perfection. The 1st time she cooked em and they were out of mushrooms, and I gotta have mushrooms. However she cooked it so good I couldn’t even tell they didn’t have any. So every time I get a chance I drive from Smithfield, Va to see Rita for the best cheesesteaks in the world.”

“Of our large party, everyone had to add an alarming amount of salt to their food since it appears the cooks forgot to add it. Service was good but a lot slower than I would have imagined even with the size of our party. Lastly, why was the monkey bread pizookie removed from the menu?”

“I have used Mrs. Tawanda for all of my occasions for the past 10 years. I have never been let down. She always supersedes my exceptions and for this I will continue to use her business and recommend her anytime anyone needs a cake. Thank you again for making my day a success.”
Chicken Wings • $$
“Just ordered from DoorDash. I usually expect my fries might be soggy (like wingstop) since I’m getting delivery, but they were still hot and crispy when they arrived. Ordered the Garlic Parmesan fries, they were delicious and the serving size was more than adequate. The amount of garlic sauc on the fries was a little on the small sidthat’s much better than drowning the fries and creating a soggy mess.I also ordered the boneless wings, Cajun dry rub and Nashville Honey Hot. Both flavors were awesome, the dry rub had trouble sticking to the wings, but that’s very common with boneless wings and dry rubs. The price ($9.99 for 12) is good, and the size of the wings was what I was expecting. Overall, very good, I was very satisfied, and I will be ordering from here again.”

“When all the Chinese restaurants closed because of ignorant people claiming that Chinese were the cause of Covid19, and did not want to eat their food. I promised that the first Chinese restaurant I could find open I was going to get myself some Chinese food. Well they were the only one open. I was more than happy to order from Super China. The food is always good. The service is good as well. I have never ordered anything that wasn't up to par.”

“The moment I contacted Bella's Custom Cakes, I knew I made the best choice for my wedding cake. Immediately, I felt as if I knew Anna for years. She is beautiful inside and out with a personality that radiates loving care. I provided the photo of my dream wedding cake and her response was---fantastic, lets have fun! The cake left me speechless!! There are not enough words in English Language that could describe how beautiful the cake was for my wedding day July 24, 2021. I contacted her to thank her again, and her response was--that's what "family" do and yes, from the first day I met her--my husband and I have adopted her as family. I just ordered a birthday cake for my husband and Anna's blessing talents did it again!! Bella's Custom Cakes is beyond 5 stars based on my experience and valued customer.”

“So I flooded my kitchen and needed alternate dinner options so I hit up ubereats for something to be delivered while I cleaned up the mess. I saw this and decided to try this place. We ordered 3 different dishes and oh my, they were delicious. The portions were nice size and the food was so flavorful. We also ordered the baklava. Yum. Next time we will actually go to the restaurant. Would 10/10 recommend.”

“Definitely coming back here again, love the vibe of the place, good food, fast and friendly service. Everything was flavorful and filling. The Kimbap is the best for sure. I honestly love the menu scan option because it eliminates paper waste, and for people like me that have anxiety I don't always like to talk to waiters so it's convenient to just order and pay for your food online in my opinion. Y'all got a customer for life.”

“Food is very fresh, good quality and taste amazing. Service was good. Service has 3 stars because the employee who took our order didn't tell me about service fee for using a debit card.Price for food is expensive especially when adding a service fee.I will eat here again but only every so many months due to price.”

“Food and service was good. Seems really empty for the time we ate here. I would argue its tastes better than 80% of the Mexican places in Newport News. Seems to do more take out than dining in. Parking is annoying though. I hope this place lasts.”

I was greeted coming in and when I left so I will be returning. . The Manger Ace made it a wonderful experience for me”
“The food was great and fairly quick! They seemed to be a little short-handed, that's why I gave 4 stars for service. Other then that we had a great time. My kids enjoyed the licuados!”
