For nearly 25 years Suzie Hong has been Hampden’s ‘Noodle Queen.’ She has shown her love and respect to her loyal cliental by always giving them what they need rather than what they want. And what they need is delicious, fresh and beautifully presented food. She does not rely on purveyors to bring to her what they pull off their shelves, but rather goes to the various farmer markets, stores or wholesalers to pick what she knows is the best quality products for her friends (also know as the loyal cliental). She has fed couples on a date who have later married and she now feeds their adult children. Her philosophy for the restaurant is: you are coming to my personal dining room and I cannot give you bad food!

Suzie’s Soba is a hidden . As you walk the strip, you may notice the beautifully colored exterior but once you enter, you are taken into a completely different world. From the atmosphere, to food, and service. You are brought into a friendly, loving experience. Don’t expect to always get a table, so you must call ahead of you have a party coming in.

One of the best dining experiences of my life. The food was incredible and Suzie made us feel like she genuinely cared about our experience and clearly cares about her food.

Absolutely incredible flavors, Suzie is a real charmer, and the meal couldn’t possibly be any better. Call ahead to see if she’s open, especially for a big group!

Brace yourself for encountering the meanest old woman you ever did meet when you walk through that door.

The food is good and the portion size is very filling for each dish. Get something spicy.

It was a rainy day and me and my daughter stepped into Suzie’s Soba for a warm late lunch. Our umbrella was dripping so I politely asked an elderly lady (was it Suzie?) where I could put our umbrella and she said just at the door. So, I placed the umbrella standing by the door and she came and yelled at us “MOVE!”, as she wanted the umbrella an inch from where I had it standing. She yelled at us so loud that my daughter almost jumped out of her skin. We should’ve walked out of there at that point and whatever possessed us to go inside and continue patronizing this restaurant is a bit of a mystery to me. In other words, we had a bad time and felt we had to rush ordering because we couldn’t ask too many questions, in fear of being yelled at again. The lady had mood swings all throughout the meal, sometimes saying nice and sometimes just being cut and dry and just unpleasant. 2 stars for the high quality of the rice green tea. We both had chicken soba and a fried shumai appetizer and were just not enjoying anything because of the dire mood we were in. This is not a cheap place, $20 for one noodle dish and I would think that one should at least offer a pleasant experience, if at all. Another review was correct – “not for the faint of heart”. Unfortunately, I don’t see why I would have to deal with rudeness if i was the customer, irregardless. Never again, we will take our business elsewhere.

Eating at Suzie’s feels like eating at home. I can’t believe I’ve wasted time living in Hampden without visiting this place. Not only is the food amazing, but Suzie treats you like family. She chats with you, explains how to eat her food, and is clearly very proud of her cooking skills. I can’t wait to go back, explore more of the menu, and feel cozy in her space!

Loved the noodles, quick service, and eclectic atmosphere of the restaurant… Suzie is a 5-star owner and made this a memorable meal for us. We can’t wait to return again soon… kamsahamnida

This place looks nice but the customer service was awful. I visited with a friend for dinner and we were the only ones in the restaurant. The lady that served us was rude, rushed us with our order, aggressively and loudly placed our items down on the table, and made our dumplings in the microwave where four dumplings cost $9. She also yelled at her vegetable delivery guy on the phone halfway through our meal very loudly telling him she’s going to kill him and that something was wrong with him because he was late with a delivery. Then she tried to make up for the awkward environment by making off handed jokes, which made me cringe. Food was okay not great, Pad Thai is only slightly spicy due to jalapenos that are added. I won’t be coming here again, we were rushing to leave because the entire encounter was so awkward and uncomfortable.

Suzie was an amazing host. Her hospitality oozed out in the most unexpected and pleasant way. Her food is amazing. It is authentic. She cooks with passion. The decor was inviting. We ate on the patio.
