In the 1960 film by Ray Stark, The World of Suzie Wong tells the story of a love affair between an expatriate American architect in Hong Kong and Suzie Wong, a beautiful high-end prostitute.
In the film, east and west meet in Suzie's house of sex. On Church Street, two worlds meld in a brothel of food – Suzy Wong's House of Yum.
"Once you get past the garnish, there is actually some decent tasting morsels. They dress most things with lots of lettuce in order to fill up for the lack of real portions. I get it is tapas style. I just think it is a cheap presentation. The 5 spice steak is delicious and the brown rice with fried egg thingy is quite filling and tasty."

"This was my second visit this month. Both times the service and food were excellent. Our first visit we had Kyle as our server. He was fantastic. Knew the menu inside and out and made some excellent recommendations. He did the same with our drink selections. We never had to ask for anything during our meal and even when two friends showed up and expanded our group fom 4 to 6 Kyle did not skip a beat! On our next visit our party of 5 was seated in a room where two very large tables of diners were seated Our server, Jillian, advised us that our food might come out a bit slow due to the large parties seated near us. No worries! Jillian served our group flawlessly and with a great attitude. We never felt neglected and the food was great!"

"So far everything we have tried there has been FANTASTIC! Been several times and never been disappointed! Very reasonably priced and THEY TAKE RESERVATIONS!!! Love the wonton nachos especially. Also the sweet and sour chicken. The wait staff could not be any friendlier! Wish they were open for lunch, as I work nearby and would love to go there for lunch with coworkers."

"This is not an upscale feeling first night date restaurant. But if you and your date enjoy Asian food you will not be disappointed. The food is good and the service is five star. You will also have to keep an open mind in this restaurant. The food is not 100% traditional Asian, instead is a great fusion of different Asian foods that are modified for the American taste But still keeps the proper flavoring of the Asian food. Great place!"

"As always good food and interesting cocktails, I wish someone else had been driving! On this occasion a group dinner for a group of friends from out of town. Wonderful selection of food and vegetarian friendly (which on this occasion was important). Very reasonably priced, we sat on the patio and enjoyed the evening."

"The service was pretty poor. Our waiter was polite enough when we could actually get him to our table but during our whole meal, we only saw him about three times; when we were seated, a water refill about 30 minutes in and then when he brought us our check. I had a question about one of the menu items and had to run down another waiter to ask the question because ours was so totally inattentive. We also went on a night when they were having a buffet which was, apparently posted on their FB page, but not their official website, so my dining partner and I were a bit disappointed at that. The buffet wouldn't have been such a big deal if the service hadn't been so lackluster."

"We stuck with picking 4 tapas sized dishes. More than enough for the 2 of us. I would go back for sure just because I didn't try everything on the menu that looked yummy!!"

"Yum! Yum! Yum! Suzy Wong's is delish! Had the "nachos" and they had so much flavor. Our server was extremely helpful in helping us make menu choices and was sensitive to us no over ordering. Will definitely be going back here!"

"We always have an incredible experience at Suzy Wong's and there is a clear reason why it is the House on Yum. My only regret is that we don't think to go there more often...but that will change."

"THis as my second visit. First time was a girls night out with 12 of us. THe service was awesome and since we didn't know what to order the waiter did an awesome job of giving us an excellent variety of the menue. This weekend I went with my best friend for my birthday. We got there when it opened, so it was before the hubbub started. Again the waiter was awesome and the food was almost as good as he was. HAHA. My friend had never been there and all she could do was umm and ahhh. I love Suzie Wongs!!every thing is so fresh"

"This was our first time to Suzy Wong's House of Yum, and we will definitely be back. I had the Pad Thai, and my girlfriend had the vegetable stir-fry with tofu. She's a vegetarian, and it can be difficult to find places that have more than baked potatoes and corn for vegetarians. We will be returning to find more things she likes on the menu."

"This is the third time we have eaten at Suzy Wong's. The menu has been a little different each time, with delicious items available each time. Presentation of each dish is very appealing and the taste pairings (sweet and spicy, etc.) are wonderful. We will definitely be back!"

"Food was great, but the server was borderline obnoxious. He "check on us" a few too many times and interrupted good conversation. On the up side, my water was never below half empty!"

"Disappointed that a young mother brought in a baby. Please, this is not an appropriate venue for children. Cocktails were very good. My wife was disappointed with the pork in the signature pork tacos. Did enjoy the steak skewers and the tofu wrapped rice balls."

"Server was MIA most of the time. At one point we had 3 different people trying to get our drinks refilled. But they ended up taking the sodas off our tab in the end, which was nice. Other than that, everything else was great!"

"I always love a visit to Suzy Wong's. Everything is delicious so I always try to get something new, but it's awfully hard to not get at least the Asian Wonton Nachos every single time - nothing like them anywhere else."

"We love this place! We are in our early 70's and so enjoy the variety of menu choices (which are well described) , the presentation and tastes of the food, and the eclectic atmosphere. And, excellent service to top it all! The Open Table reservation service was also a plus!"

"Excellent service right off the bat. This was our first time, but we had been hearing about it for years. Wanting to make the best of it, we depended on the input from our server. I'm a "throw a dart" orderer, but my wife truly enjoys considering every item. Our very patient server took time to answer all of her questions and did not shy away from making recommendations based on her comments.
We were not disappointed by any item that came to our table: the pot stickers, the coconut brown rice, the curry chicken.
It was a great Valentine's Day dinner.
Thanks, guys!"

"First time at the restaurant and I enjoyed myself very much. Loved the Won Ton nachos!! The biggest problem is that they did not have Sweet Tea. Come on guys you’re in the south. This is like not having napkins, salt and pepper."

"The only reason I have the service a 4, not a 5, was because our waitress came back a second time to ask us if we were sure we did not want to buy any drinks. We had politely declined the first time as we had other plans after dinner. Every other aspect of the dining and service experience was wonderful! :)"

"The food and drinks were amazing. The passion fruit sangria is by far the best sangria I've ever had. The nachos were our favorite item on the menu. They are slightly spicy but definitely in a good way."

"This was my third trip to Suzy Wong's despite not having ever been satisfied with the quality of the food. I was hoping the third time would be the charm, but I was even more disappointed this time as compared to my sentiments following previous visits to this restaurant. I ordered spicy eggplant. The tofu in my dish was hard and bland, and the dish primarily consisted of jalapenos with a small amount of eggplant scattered throughout. I am not sure how they expect anyone - even those spice-seekers like myself - to enjoy this dish. As if the food wasn't bad enough, another person at my table didn't receive her food until everyone else had finished eating. I can honestly say that I will never go back."
