Austin’s New Restaurant & Bar Openings

"Suzi’s Chinese has been a name in Austin since 1990, occupying different spaces and slightly different concepts around town until 2018, when Suzi finally decided to retire. Now she’s out of retirement, this time taking over the space that was previously Old Thousand on Burnet Road. The menu features a combination of old hits and new dishes, in a smaller, more intimate space than before.  " - nicolai mccrary

Austin Restaurant Dish Recommendations by Eater Austin Editors in 2021 - Eater Austin

"I recently had a pleasant lunch on the patio at the Burnet Road location of the Chinese restaurant. The salty, indulgent brisket fried rice is my usual go-to, but this time my companion ordered the Buddha’s Delight — sweet potato noodles with seasonable vegetables — and I think I might have a new favorite order. The slippery noodles and fresh vegetables were a better choice to be able to get work done afterward and still made for great leftovers. Next time, I’m eyeing the five-spice Chinese churro for my next visit." - Eater Staff

The Hottest New Restaurants in Austin, April 2024

"After a period of retirement, legendary Austin restaurateur Suzy Yi is back doing what she loves: running a Chinese American restaurant. Enter: this new casual Brentwood restaurant as of January 2024. On deck’s an array of standby Chinese American dishes for lunch and dinner, like General Tso’s chicken, orange beef, and soups. Takeout orders can be placed in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury

Austin Restaurant Suzi’s Chinese Has the Best Chinese American Food - Eater Austin

"The vibe: Suzi's Chinese — which took over what had been another location of also-Chinese American restaurant Old Thousand and, before that, Noble Sandwich Co. — is very much a casual family-friendly dining destination. The narrow dining room features banquette seating along one wall with various tables and chairs. There is an outdoor patio as well. There are pretty murals everywhere, including the one in the entryway of a red-blossoming tree, and another one in the main dining room with another flowering tree and birds. When my friend and I arrived, we were seated immediately, but the space did fill up fast, with parties waiting for tables. What makes dining at the restaurant even better is that Yi is there herself, attending to diners, dropping off plates of food, pouring drinks, and closing out checks, all while making sure everyone is doing okay. What to drink: The beverage menu is a simple one. For alcoholic drinks, there are wines by the glass, sakes (including a hot one), and beers. Nonalcoholic options include sodas, bottled water, and teas (iced, hot green, and coffee). I went for the Kirin Light, which was served with a cold glass. On the menu: The food line-up is a stellar example of well-curated standbys-for-good-reasons Chinese American dishes. We went for a split bowl of the hot and sour soup, the General Tso’s chicken (when in Rome), orange beef, and the seafood and roasted almond-fried rice (which Yi said was her favorite dish). Everything was absolutely solid and tasted exactly and it should: zippy soup; crispy, saucy, tangy, sweet chicken; flavorful citrusy tender beef; and a nice sweet-and-savory mix of fried rice, almonds, raisins, pineapples, shrimp, and scallops. Why go: For seekers of good, reliable, people-pleasing meals, get to Suzi's ASAP. If you’re dining with a bunch of people, it’s worth getting there earlier." - Nadia Chaudhury

EASY 5 star. First of all, we received amazing service and hospitality. When we arrived, only outdoor seats were available, so the staff seated us outside. They wheeled over a large fan and repeatably asked if we were cool and comfortable. They even offered to move us inside once seating opened up! We stayed outside but really appreciated the service. I ordered the chicken low mein, which was delicious; the noodles were amazing, and the chicken and vegetables complemented them perfectly. My dad enjoyed his General Tso’s Chicken, and I got to try a piece, which was pretty tasty. My mother dined on some basil shrimp and said that “everything about it was phenomenal, from the mushrooms to the flavorful sauce to the jalapeno slices and the abundance of shrimp”. Our appetizer of Crab Rangoon was piping hot and a good way to start this dining experience. Throughout our dinner, we were checked on with great care and treated very well by the staff. At the end, we received Neapolitan fortune cookies. This place is a must-try.

I ordered the Sautéed Trio without mushrooms, which automatically comes with fried rice. Lunch also includes an egg roll and your choice of soup. Both the egg drop and hot & sour soups are excellent—flavorful and well-prepared. The portion sizes might be a bit smaller than what you’d get at a typical Chinese-American spot, but the key here is quality over quantity. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. Definitely worth a visit if you care more about flavor and freshness than oversized portions.

First time visiting Suzi's. It was a pleasure to meet the owner. She was very welcoming. The restaurant is very clean and with a calming dining area. I gave it a 4 star because the service was a bit off. Two different wait staff seemed confused about our order. We got the appetizer after the entrees. Our glass of water had things floating in it. Hmmm. The food was delicious. I would have preferred more fried rice with my order, and I ended up ordering more. It was a good experience. Next time, I'll let them know about the water. I'll be visiting with my teenagers soon.

Someone else really wanted Chinese food so that’s how I wound up here. Got the szechuan beef and thought it was great. Went to eat after lunch rush. My friend got a chicken and shrimp meal and didn’t finish his plate so I got to taste chicken, shrimp, and boy howdy all 3 proteins were delish! One thing I want to say is my food was brought out physically nuclear core in terms of heat while my rice was lukewarm at best. Looking forward to the next visit.

It was my first time trying chicken wraps, and it tasted good! I also got their seafood and roasted almond fried rice. The flavoring is more on the sweet side and really unique. I haven’t tried many dishes that tasted like this. The firecracker shrimp tasted like sweet and spicy sour sauce combined. It was good, but I wish the portions would be bigger.

We were greeted at the door by a kind lady! Beautiful artistry and decor met us when we walked inside, setting a calm ambiance and relaxing experience. Our food was amazing; authentic as well as flavorful (Almond chicken and Sesame chicken). The lunch size portion is filling! We found a jewel! Place your order asap! You won't be disappointed.

Over the span of two different centuries, four decades, and three locations, the food and service are fantastic and consistent. A nice place to go for lunch solo or out on date nights. A hidden gem of more Parking around back

Delicious food and the kindest staff ever! Suzi herself served us; the whole staff really went the extra mile :) Appreciate the vegetarian section of the menu!! Edit: Suzi, the owner, is the sweetest woman, but on my last visit I noticed a significant decline in service from our waiter. :(

Overall: Suzi's is great! The customer service you receive is top tier and personable. Suzi is always greeting everyone as they come in and making them feel at ease. The food is delicious! I like to treat the dishes like "family style" so that I can try multiple things at once. This is also a good place to come an watch games. They have small bar right in front of tv's which works out great. The restaurant is well lit and even offers seating outside. If you haven't visted yet, what are you waiting for?! What I get: - General Tso's Chicken - Beef and broccoli - Chicken and broccoli

Yummy comfort food in a modern & inviting setting. Suzi herself offers warm hospitality, lending to a feeling of being among friends. Otherwise service was a bit challenging, being a little rushed or too slow to respond at other times. We enjoyed the food, which is accommodating to vegetarian and vegan diets while being just as wholesome. Kung Pao Chicken had good flavor but was very mild - much better with the fiery mustard. Egg rolls were nothing special, heavy on breading, basic. I love that they're a family-run business with excellent atmosphere, and have a very enthusiastic following, so I'm looking forward to finding the choice items to order on my next visit.

Suzi's makes wonderful Chinese cuisine. I like to get their sesame chicken. When dining in, the atmosphere is laid back. They have indoor and patio seating. The service is always good, and Suzi often greets guests herself with a charming attitude and lovely smile.

This place was AMAZING!!! We got the lo mein with beef and sesame chicken and they were SO GOOD! We also got the ravioli appetizer and they were great and came out so quickly. Suzi herself came and introduced and was so sweet. Service was 10/10 and the restaurant was perfect for a date. We will be back!

This is a great low key laid back vibe for a reasonably priced dinner with great quality Chinese food. The waitress was the sweetest woman ever and gave me an off menu recommendation (i.e. secret menu item) the orange beef stir fry. It was the most tender beef I've ever had with amazing sauce that wasn't overly sweet or overpowering. She was so attentive to us, getting me extra rice before me evening having to ask 11/10 on service. All my friends dishes also look really good and I got to try my friend's orange chicken which was also solid. The warm sake was good and very reasonably priced $6 for a small vase of it. Most dishes were also pretty reasonable around $15-19 each. Will absolutely be making this a more regular place and especially for takeout!

We went on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't very busy. The service was prompt including the food coming out quickly. Since lunch portions which include soup and an eggroll were available, we ordered that way instead of family style. But we did get the green beans family style. I really enjoyed my garlic chicken. They friends endjoyed the Buddha's delight and orange peel beef. The only complaint was with the sesame chicken. The flavor was good but some pieces were too tough. If you'd ever been to Suzi's kitchen, it was like returning there which was what I was hoping for. They've brightened up the space from its previous look. There's a beautiful cherry blossom and crane mural. But the wood floors, tables and back deck are pretty much the same. It's a comfortable space that didn't get too loud even as it filled up.

I'm so happy that Suzi's is back. It was a favorite years ago. The new location is located across the street from the best. Ail salon (Ten Spot). We did take out of our old favorites: Mongolian beef, sesame chicken and sweet and sour chicken. It was all good, just like we remembered. And they packaged them well for to-go as nothing was soggy when we ate at home. We look forward to visiting the dining room next time. There is also a covered patio in the back, along with extra parking.

Suzi serves up first-rate Chinese food at her new establishment on Burnet. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, feeling both comfortable and upscale. Suzi is always here, making sure her customers are happy! If I lived in Austin, I would be here at least once a week! During my trip to Austin I went to Suzi's twice, and tried the orange chicken and orange shrimp, both of which were outstanding. I only discovered this place in the last week of my visit, otherwise I would have been here many more times! Look no further than Suzi's Chinese for a great meal!

Suzi Yi, a gracious hostess and a legendary figure in Austin's culinary landscape, once operated one of the city's most cherished Asian restaurants before her retirement in 2018. Her return to the scene with her new venture, Suzi's, is an exciting homecoming! Suzi's dishes are elevated classics, each one bursting with flavor. We started with the egg rolls--(which are offered in both vegetable and pork variations) and the crab rangoons, with their crunchy shell and creamy cheese center; they were served with Suzi's house-made duck sauce and hot mustard. Next was the orange crispy beef (which we ordered extra crispy), a perfect balance of crispy, sweet, and spicy goodness. The restaurant is vibrant yet intimate; the atmosphere feels lively and inviting. Suzi keeps a watchful eye on every detail, ensuring that the standards she's known for are upheld in every aspect of the dining experience. The staff at Suzi's are as knowledgeable as they are attentive, guiding diners through the menu with recommendations. The service was quick and efficient but not rushed at all! Suzi's Chinese feels like a return to something essential: a celebration of tradition, a testament to Yi's storied career, a vibrant new chapter in Austin's ever-evolving culinary narrative, and an enduring reminder of what has always made Austin's food scene genuinely unique and special.

I got a cup of hot and sour soup, the hot green tea, and the lunch beef and broccoli special which comes with an egg roll. They said they don't make the egg rolls here, but it was still good enough to eat. I finished all the hot and sour soup as well as the beef and broccoli. I'll be back.

Ate at this recently opened restaurant with my wife. Despite a crowd at the door, we were seated promptly at the bar by a very friendly, efficient seating host. Thanks! Lovely fellow behind the bar greeted us with a genuine warmth. Nice touch. My wife enjoyed a glass of rose. We ordered the pan fried dumplings at Suzi's recommendation, beef and broccoli, and a beef,shrimp, and chicken dish. Food was great! Served hot, great sauces on the main course dishes, and perfectly cooked veggies. Reasonable prices for the delicious, fresh tasting food! Suzi's previous restaurant, off Anderson near Mopac, was our favorite Chinese restaurant in Austin. So, we are very excited with Suzi's return. I am hoping the menu evolves to include duck, more soups, and salt and pepper fish, squid, and shrimp options. But, lots of choices for now and we are eager to return soon to try some other dishes. In the nature of what could be better next time ... the dining experience felt very rushed. Food came out overly fast, staff was moving crazy fast, almost a frenetic pace really, and we were presented the bill (via credit card machine) no more than a minute after we put our forks down and the plates were removed. Simply, the pacing seemed obviously rushed to make way for the large crowd. This is easily fixable -- and did not take away from the great food and our desire to return soon But, a bit more chill next time please. For those that enjoy outdoor dining the patio is nice size and a really nice touch! Welcome back Suzi. We missed you!

When you pull into this restaurant on Burnet Road It's unlikely you'll find parking out front, but they do have a spacious lot behind the restaurant. Inside there's a dozen or so tables against the wall with a few chairs at the bar. They do have some outdoor seating with 7-8 tables facing the back parking lot. Their menu is quite appealing in its simplicity and understanding. Everything you need to know is on one page and easily spelled out. Their drinks consist of a handful of decent wines, Sakes ,and a few beers, but no craft beer or mixed/frozen drinks. We just settled on water. One unusual feature about this establishment is that if you use the bathroom, the sinks are located outside the bathroom where you wash your hands so that Everybody knows it. Also when it gets busy, it can get a little bit loud inside. The portions that they give you are pretty much the perfect size where you won't be boxing up the extra to go. One thing to keep in mind is that this is an Americanized version of Chinese food which many people like, but not everyone. We started with the hot and sour soup and fried egg rolls. I suggest you be careful with that wasabi mustard because it's hot, the soup, not so much, but it was very good. The egg rolls were OK, but I've definitely had better. I ordered the Mongolian beef which was a little better than I expected. They do give you silverware, but if you want to use chopsticks, you'll have to ask for them. Service is very prompt and attentive, almost to a fault. We had just barely put our forks down when we were presented with the bill. If you're looking for a sweet treat to finish the meal off, unfortunately, you'll have to settle for a fortune cookie. When it's time to settle up, they will hand you their handheld device and wait for you to punch in your tip. To get into the five star league, it would be nice to see a couple of desserts, a slightly larger portion and an expanded bar with more drink choices. Otherwise, they have a great business model which has people coming back. Informative photos below.

Remember the good ol' days when Suzi's was the go-to spot off of Anderson? Well, dust off those memories because Suzi's is back and better than ever! I practically shed a tear of joy when I heard the news, and my taste buds did a happy dance when I finally got to indulge in Suzi's culinary delights once more. The service? Impeccable! Efficient, friendly, and they make you feel like you're dining with family (the kind you actually like). As for the food, I went for the lunch specials and boy, oh boy, was I in for a treat! The Kung Pao Chicken paired with Hot & Sour soup was like a flavor explosion in my mouth - in the best possible way, of course. Suzi's hasn't just brought back the classics; they've also thrown in some new surprises, keeping things fresh and exciting. Consider me a regular again - I'll definitely be back for more!

I had high hopes for this place but nothing really stood out to me. I ordered Sesame Chicken lunch special which came with my choice of soup. I chose the egg drop soup which unfortunately lacked flavor and dimension. I wanted to love the chicken and the crab rangoons but nothing special here. I wish there was more filling in the crab rangoons. I think the items I enjoyed the most were the spring rolls and green beans but I can get those anywhere.

So to be fair, we were regular customers of Suzi's years back before they closed all locations so we were excited to see them re-open after a multi year absence. I *loved* the old Suzi's. Food was quick, priced very well and it was always delicious. The new Suzi's doesn't taste as good as I remember. I had the Three Delight (chicken/beef & minus shrimp since I'm allergic). The sauce was just ok, but didn't have the same taste that kept us coming back all those years ago. I remember a different texture and we didn't seem to have a choice in rice, we got brown, which I like in some dishes but it seemed more "dry" to me in this dish. There was an appropriate amount of protein and veggies, so that base covered. It seems that I had an issue only with the sauce. I was a little dismayed that for a lunch dish the $3 menu add on for the eggroll and soup brought the dish to $20 for lunch. That's a $40 lunch, excluding drinks, for 2 folks and more than my wallet is comfortable with for lunch. I feel like the entrée price should include soup and an eggroll (which was good). Maybe they're still breaking in the cooking staff since they're still considered 'new'. Dunno. I hope the next time I go back it's a different story. PS, our waitperson, British sounding guy was an excellent server.

I am so incredibly grateful that Suzi has chosen to bless the Austin restaurant community once again. I grew up going to all 3 of Suzi's locations (it was a family favorite "birthday dinner" spot, so it saw heavy rotation for special occasions especially) and I was devastated when the last one closed in 2018. Suzi herself is the driving force behind the success of her restaurants: she's a whirlwind and a powerhouse who knows everyone and everything and even if she doesn't, she'll give you a hug and act like she's known you her whole life. She creates a special atmosphere in her space that feels like coming home every time you visit. I'm so happy to see the place packed once again. We went opening weekend and the line was out the door. Luckily we had snagged reservations in advance (and don't worry, there's a massive parking lot behind the building) so we were able to skip the line. Even in the chaos of the re-opened space, you could feel the joy reverberating off the walls. Suzi was in her element and the staff seemed so happy to be there. I'm pretty sure she managed to bring back some staff from her previous concepts. The food was incredible - it's exactly what you want each of the dishes to be when you imagine them. Like when I go to order sesame chicken, this is what I want it to be. Glossy, crispy, sweet, no questionable cuts of meat - perfection. As you can tell, I love Suzi's and obviously many others do too. All I ask is that if you choose to stop in and haven't been before, you be nice to Suzi so she decides to stick around for a while.

My favorite Chinese place has come back! Got to see Ms. Suzie herself on this visit. She's the sweetest person and so welcoming. The food is always perfect, we started off with pork egg rolls, crab rangoons and fried wings. For our entrees we ordered the sesame chicken and sesame shrimp. Everything was finger licking good! Service as always is to par. This new spot is so beautiful from the outdoor patio ambiance to the sweet niche inside. Always planing on coming back for more. Suzie, we are so happy to have you back! We sure did miss you and your delicious food!

Right now, Suzi's Chinese is at three stars. But they are on soft opening ... and they are absolutely being overwhelmed. Suzi's has long been one of the most popular American Chinese restaurants in North Central Austin. They used to be located where the District Bar is now - up at Anderson and Shoal Creek. IMHO, they were a pleasant enough utilitarian neighborhood Chinese restaurant. They were no better and no worse than about eighteen other places in Metropolitan Austin named "China [fill in the blank]". Places named China This or China That tend to be basically okay. Like the others, Suzi's Chinese was basically okay. When Suzi's set-up on Burnet Road is finally stabilized, they will be basically okay again. But now they got problems. Their problem is that they are working in a smaller space - with probably a smaller kitchen - than they used to have on Shoal Creek. However, they are absolutely being swamped with customers. All of their loyal fans from Northwest Austin are coming down to Burnet Road. Plus, the Rosedale, Brentwood, Allandale and Bryker Woods residents - all of whom are legitimately starved for a good neighborhood Chinese place - are all showing up as well. The lines go out the door and all over the sidewalk. The restaurant is majorly majorly understaffed. As a result: a) The menu is limited. b) The quality of what you get is indifferent. Not bad but not great either. c) You are way better off getting your food to go as parking is limited. Fortunately, they have two dedicated parking spaces for to-go. Which is just as well because most of the population of North Central Austin is parked in the other spaces. d) You are better off getting your food at 3 pm and waiting for dinner than you are trying to get what you want at 6. ****** This will all change over time. But I personally am more inclined to drive a little farther either for Chinese Chinese or American Chinese. I still do China Palace, China Family or Asia Cafe for Chinese Chinese. For American Chinese, P. F. Chang's if we are getting fancy, And the surprisingly good China Fun on East Rundberg east of I-35 if you don't mind getting your food in lower class neighborhoods. And lets not forget Din Ho, House of Three Gorges and Chinatown North. You can routinely get five star meals at any of those locations. Suzi's never was able to compete at that level

Suzi's is good Americanized chinese takeout at current Austin hipster prices. The egg drop soup and hot and sour soup are yummy. The stir-fry dishes are saucy and flavorful -- exactly what someone is looking for when they come to a place like this. The space is really nicely decorated. The staff are FANTASTIC...so kind and attentive. Suzi herself was there welcoming and greeting guests. I couldn't ask for more. Next time you have a craving for Panda Express, come here instead.

Suzi's is back. I've been twice now and enjoyed the eggplant dish. I've sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the team work together. The menu isn't the largest but I only eat one meal at a time and enjoy Suzi's niche in the Burnett Road corridor. It's a solid, solid 4stars. It's a go to place for a solid meal or take away. I love the space and am relieved at it's unpretentiousness. It's still relatively crowded at certain hours and as other reviews have mentioned you can always get a nice pint next-door if you're waiting for a table. Yes I'll be going back

The restaurant is beautiful but extremely noisy. It is not the place to talk. My lunch of shrimp & vegetables was VERY AVERAGE. But at $17+ for lunch with a cup of very delicious egg drop soup and a teeny tiny eggroll, I'd expect more. Everyone said their dishes were average, too. The soup was the standout. Too pretty a place to be so meh.

OMG! Suzi's is back and better than ever! What a great new space with nice design features. The service was and has always been perfect. They didn't have TABC alcohol license when we went but offered wine for no cost. The food was so delicious and the portions were huge. The four of us ate enough and still had left overs! It was nice and very neighborly to be recognized from the days at Andersen and Shoal Creek. Happy to see they are back.

Skip this place and go to PF Chang's for Chinese American food. - Krab Rangoon - 6 pieces per order. Each piece was a good size and fried nicely and not greasy. It lacked krab flavor and the sweet and sour (SS) and hot mustard sauces were served in narrow metal pots. It made it difficult to dip once (no double dipping allowed, right?!?!?). The SS was typical. The hot mustard was weirdly runny and had a greenish cast. I'm pretty sure it was cut or made with wasabi. - Chicken Wings - Batter fried and bland. These are not seasoned at all. I was hoping for salt and pepper chicken wings. These didn't have even have salt. They were so covered in batter that you couldn't tell it was a chicken wing. Re: frying - I think they've definitely mastered the art of frying since these were also crispy, crunchy, and not greasy. - Vegetarian Egg Rolls - two small, pale and and insipid looking eggrolls about 2.5 inches long and a .4 inches wide. It didn't look appealing so I left it to my friends. Their verdict -- nope. - Chili oil - I asked for chili oil and it was really good. Nice heat and flavor. - Garlic Beef - Primarily onions in a pretty bland sauce with slivers of beef. When I say slivers, it's as if they had frozen the beef and sliced it on a mandolin. No piece was bigger than an inch. This dish should be renamed stir fried onions with beef garnish. - Sesame Tofu - At first bite, tofu was crispy and the sauce was sweet. That's it. One note flavor. It was so sweet I'm pretty sure I'm now a diabetic. - Szechuan Noodles - This was the most egregious dish. At first, it seemed okay. Then the aftertaste hit like a sour, bitter throat punch. Such a shame. - Green beans - these were greasy and were okay. Not the best or the worst green beans I've had but not worth coming back for at all. Service - The server was friendly. He seemed a little green and not familiar with Chinese food but nice. Seating and ambiance - We sat outside facing the back patio. It was casual and comfortable. Quiet so we could all chat. Food - Service - Sorry I didn't take any photos. The dishes looked appetizing barring the anemic eggrolls.

Love, love Suzi! I don't love that the prices are now nearly double what they were and the portions are nearly half from her last restaurant. I think this is going to have to change for the new business to thrive.

Suzi -- and her Chinese Kitchen -- have made their triumphant return to Austin, and thousands of loyal customers couldn't be more thrilled. Suzi closed her longtime location on Anderson Lane just prior to COVID. (In hindsight, it was a stroke of genius.) Suzi's new space -- on Burnet -- is quite different from the old one. (Not an inch of black granite to be found!) The space is light and modern, without feeling trendy. Suzi can be found hugging longtime guests -- friends at this point --who have patronized her kitchen for two decades. The vibe is one of old friends and homecoming -- it's wonderful. Remarkably, Suzi looks younger than ever, and her smile is one that conveys, "I'm so glad to be back." The food is outstanding, as it always has been. Suzi checks with each customer to make sure he/she is happy. Servers are a mix of new and old faces. New staffers seem thrilled to be here; veteran staffers are delighted to be back. It's rare to feel emotional over dinner, but -- as a feeler -- I was overcome by the warm vibes in the room. Tonight, emotion and good vibes were both on the menu. There is plenty of parking in the new location. Also, there is now a lovely patio that can accommodate several tables. Come get Austin's best Chinese food -- and a hug from Suzi! You'll be glad you did. Welcome back, Suzi. You were missed!

As a fan of the original Suzi's Kitchen, it's heartening to see Suzi's food returning to Austin. Usually when a piece of old Austin dies, it never comes back. Our visit was a mixed bag, which can be easily explained by opening jitters and a popularity that I can't ever recall from the original spot. First off, there is ample parking out back, which was a real concern for a restaurant neighboring with Pinthouse. Check-in was a little chaotic during Saturday rush, but the host did a great job managing the process. We chose to kill time next door with a couple of Pinthouse brews, and the wait was right on the 40 minute estimate. Service was effusively friendly, and the dining room is sleek and beautiful. The menu was immediately familiar and really true to the original restaurant. Unfortunately, we ran into a big service error where our main courses were forgotten, and we waited for close to an hour with nothing on the table. The staff was apologetic, and they scrambled to address the situation. The food was delicious, particularly the garlic beef and the basil shrimp. This would have been a 5 star experience but for the significant service issue that impacted our evening. i am already planning to return, maybe during a slower time when the dust has settled a bit on the opening. This has got to be some of the best "american" chinese food anywhere in Austin, and Suzi's is well worth a visit.

Food ok, nothing real special. Nothing is more disturbing when the owner serves you; takes order and delivers an over-priced small portion $17 lunch plate and then sticks a device in my face wanting a 18%-25% tip. I gave him 10% and he got upset. I won't be back.

We are SO happy Suzi's is back!!! We were customers of hers for years and went into deep depression when she closed. We are all better now!! The food, service and ambiance are perfection. She even made my favorite dish even though it wasn't on the new menu! Just for me! She is so friendly and her staff is wonderful. You feel right at home here. I am getting hungry for Suzi's as I write this review!! Thank you for reopening Suzi!!!! Gary and Millie Skidmore

I am so happy Suzi's is back!! She's back and better than ever! Her new place is beautiful and I love the atmosphere. I met my two girlfriends for lunch there and they had never been to the old location, so it was a new experience for them. The food is still excellent and the service is spot on. All of our dishes were delicious. We ordered from the lunch special menu and I had enough for lunch the next day. As I said before I'm so glad that Suzi's back!

Suzi, the owner, as well as the other workers are always friendly and happy to see me. Best orange chicken in Austin. The egg rolls are good too

We are so very happy Suzi's opened again on Burnet Rd in the cutest place next to Shabby Slips! Suzi was there just like always...wonderful to see herDinner was just like we remembered it to be, extremely delicious and made just the way I liked it. We love that each dish is made to order, just the way it should be. My husband likes sesame chicken and Suzi makes it stir-fry and not breaded and he loves it. I like to minimize my gluten so she makes a special shrimp and chicken dish that is filled with veggies and spicy in a lite sauce. It was superb! And, she has chocolate fortune cookies We will be back every week! Welcome back to the hood Suzi

I hope they will bring back Malaysian chicken as one of the specialties. That was on the menu at the Anderson location.
