Id be happy if they were just open when they say they're open?? Twice in the past 2 weeks I stopped by, and they were closed when they were supposed to be open. I'm not talking about a few minutes before they're posted closing time, I stopped there last friday before 9:00 and the place was closed and dark.Are they even still open?

Suzie's used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant in the west village, until they recently renovated and went through a (possible) change in management. Don't get me wrong - I think the renovations to the actual restaurant are a step up, but the lunch special (which is the only thing I can speak for) has lost the magic that made Suzie's unique. I've been to Suzie's three times since the changed the color of the walls, and was hoping that the first two times I went were flukes.Disclamer: These are the opinions of someone who gets boneless spare ribs, sesame chicken, beef/chicken & broccoli when eating americanized Chinese.What's changed?SOUPWas:I'd always go with the wonton soup, which was excellent. The broth itself had soul - legit flavor, always spot on. It had strips of pork in it, like I remember from sit-down Chinese spots when I was younger, and the soup had some soul to it, and really yummy wontons. There were also noodles on the table with your usual sauces, so I'd stick a few in there too. This was my favorite thing about Suzie's.Now:My wonton soup tasted more like chicken soup with a dash of curry flavoring. There were a few scallions, but no more pork. The wontons changed, but were still good. Unfortunately, they must have done away with the noodles, as I had to ask for them and was brought out a bowl of noodles that they usually give you when you order crappy take out.CHICKEN WINGSWas:Heaven? Wonderfully fried every time, huge drums and wings, seasoned (probably with MSG but who cares)Now:They're good. Not as big or flavorful as I remember... and they're different. Clearly, I'm a little bitter.MAIN DISHWas: They gave you so much food, and they offered vegetable fried rice. They also had a chicken AND beef with broccoli dish.Now: Brown rice or white rice only and the portions are smaller. Had the beef with broccoli today, which was really good, but I had the sesame chicken the time before which was more like reddish-orange chicken (meh) and crispy chicken the time before that which was the complete opposite of what it sounds like. It was a rotisserie chicken that was chopped into chunks with a cleaver... bones and all in there. I literately threw out half the dish in frustration. On the bright side, you can now get their chicken wings as a lunch special.AND IN THE ENDUnfortunately, the Suzie's experience seems to be no more. It was the small things that I loved about this place, but now it just feels generic. Nothing was terrible, but it's no longer worth taking an hour lunch for.

I was just Googling Suzie's to order for lunch and saw on Yelp that a whole bunch of people with 1 review each and the last name of D (or "Mrs F", which is quite telling), decided to Yelp-bomb my favorite Chinese take out in the city. Who goes by "Mrs." anything in 2012, no less?Listen, if you have been living in the Village for 30 years in the same apartment, you have issues to begin with (probably great stories, too. Like back in 1982 when Van Halen played at Cafe Wha.....but I digress).I don't mind the revised menu - who wants to look at 30 pages of nonsense and 27 different types of mushu pork? Just give me a limited, yet tastey, alternative with good quality, great prices and I'm happy.And when I came in the other day to pick up my order, I decided to try a drink from the bar. Guess what? They have Tito's vodka as their standard go to vodka. Not even the neighboring touristy bars have Tito's - awesome.And the waiters and order takers actually speak English? Is that a bad thing?

I've lived down the street from Suzie's for almost 5 years, and it's always been my order-in go to. I used to say they delivered so fast I hadn't even hung up the phone when my doorbell rang.The management change ruined Suzie's. I was excited for the renovation and reopening but this meal will be my last. Though polite, the girl on the phone did not feel lovely and familiar like the old voices. No more knowing my name and address based on my phone number.I placed the order and asked for my favorite app, vegetarian summer roll, along with lo mein and fried rice. She told me delivery would be 20 minutes, which doesn't sound long but it is when your food used to come in 3! A real 20 minutes later the delivery came. No fresh, raw, relatively healhy summer rolls in sight. Instead I was given one thick fried spring roll. I called back and the same girl told me 'oops those aren't available right now'. I asked her to clarify and was told the item had been taken off the menu. She offered to send a replacement item but for $2.50 I told her to drop it.Based on how tasteless and awful the lo mein and fried rice (my perma favorites before) were, I assume the rent-a-chefs in the kitchen don't know how to make a summer roll- it does require some understanding of Chinese food. I drowned the food, and my sorrow for the old Suzie's, in all of the tiny soy sauce packets they gave me.The bottom line- the food didn't kill me but it kills me that Suzie's is no more. What's in a name? I don't know, but apparently not my favorite Chinese food anymore. :(

Rest in peace Suzies, you'll never be the same. The great waiters are gone, Frank is gone, the menu is condensed, the etched glass partition is gone, the new wait staff is terrible, even the serving dishes are terrible. The pictures that were in the entrance have been dispersed around the dining room by someone that doesn't know how to use a level. The general attitude is just depressing. The MACHINE that was Suzies is broken, please fix it! Having to ASK for fortune cookies at Chinese restaurant is just rediculous...and no more veggie sculptures?

Over the winter I came here quite often with my friends, mainly for their lunch specials. The lunch specials are cheap and comes with a filling portion of food. My go to is the General Tsao's chicken. It's not the best I've ever had, but for the price it is well worth it. I can't say much about the rest of their menu, but if you're looking for a good Chinese food restaurant with nice lunch specials, you should give this place a try.

What you don't see won't hurt you?Suzie's has been a Greenwich Village/Bleecker Street institution for almost FORTY YEARS! Recently they closed their doors and then re-opened.What I saw on a Monday night didn't sit well with me. In lieu of remodeling, many of the old ornaments have been stripped from the walls. The barstools have been replaced with cheap-looking pea-green aluminum fastfood stools. The decorative etched Asian glass divider that once separated the front dining area from the larger dining room in the back has been removed, allowing prospective diners a view of the entire establishment from the massive windows on the street. But, what one sees, one might be better not to look. The staff, once, a bit surly, but still sporting respectable white shirt uniformity, were no longer present. All those young Chinese men, who carried out their duties, albeit curtly, with efficient good posture and comportment, have been replaced by a motley crue of mixed races and genders in slovenly casual Friday downdressing, and tend to slouch, chat up the customers or play on their smartphones.It sort of makes one wonder if this degree of lax unprofessionality is going on out front, what's going on back in the kitchen behind closed doors? One only hopes and trusts that their Chinese food is still made by authentic Chinese chefs. But that trust is left on shaky ground. Suzie's has never been the upscale Chinese restaurant it has always pretended to be, but that is no reason to pander to the slovenly fare one gets at any other Bleecker Street eatery. There are still a couple of Chinese women working at the cash registers, but they seemed subservient to whomever has taken over the business. Before I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by a smiling young waspish girl in a casual black top who waved me aggressively in. The counter girl who took my order was a similarly cheaply dressed young black woman, who was efficient enough, but quickly handed my bill off to one of the Chinese gals. I asked her if management had changed and she said yes; I asked if Suzie was still around (meaning had she passed away) and was told, oh yes, she comes in a couple of times a week.I received my order and left perturbed at the changes. When I got home, the food was adequate, but if I continue to dine with Suzie's, it will be by delivery only. The nature of the old world Chinese restaurant has been dumbed down into something cheaper and sloppier, and questionable as to whether it is still a Chinese restaurant at all. It is too disturbing to me to witness firsthand.A sad passing for Suzie/s. It was never my favorite Chinese restaurant, but it was a neighborhood classic with a degree of respectability, and I'll miss that, shaking my head and wondering where it all went wrong. When was the last time you dined in a Chinese restaurant unstaffed by Chinese employees? For appearances sake Suzie, clean up your act and reassure us that it is still an authentic Chinese restaurant. At least get the cosmopolitan staff to dress in white shirts, stand up straight, and act professional.I'm so sorry that the new management has kept the old name and tarnished its forty year reputation. I'd have more respect for them if they'd have renamed it.

Well this meal was an utter disaster. I was craving chinese food so I decided to give Suzie's a chance, even though every fiber in my body screamed out to me that it would be a mistake.I ordered the Mongolian Beer and the Chow Fun to go, and looking back, my money would have been better spent if I had lit it on fire. Quick piece of advice: when you mark a dish as a "chef's special" (i.e. the mongolian beef), how about you actually, I don't know, make it decent to eat?The mongolian beef was 100% bland. there were no flavor to it at all and the beef was extremely tough to eat (i'm not even sure it was beef now that I think about it). Additionally, the beef came with massive poorly cut pieces of onions and tomatoes which made me think it would be better to just throw the food away.The Chow fun was equally poor in that the shrimp were easily the smallest shrimp i've ever seen in my life. Let me put it this way, a dime is bigger than the shimp they provided.Don't waste your time here.

I am so sad! This was our family's favorite Chinese restaurant in the city. We used to eat there 3 nights a week (at least!). Now they are under new management. The service is terrible, the menu is completely different, and the quality of the food is bad. The menu has completely changed...no more Garlic Delight?! Even the size of the shrimp have gotten much smaller! The dumplings are soggy, and instead of using real vegetables, they were filled with a coleslaw-like filling..so bizarre! The wait staff and management are not nearly as friendly as they were in the past. One night we tried to order and the phone just rang for 30 minutes, and no one took our order. On top of all that, they are using much more sodium in the food (I couldn't even get my wedding ring on the next morning). So sad to see the real Suzie's go.

Basic American-style Chinese food, large, clean dining area with friendly staff. The prices aren't as inexpensive as other near-by Chinese joints an they'll even gouge you on delivery so, careful what you order and make sure you're reading an up-to-date menu.

Hard to come by Chinese restaurant also located in the Greenwich Village. Saves you time from commuting downtown to Chinatown for Chinese cuisine.Pretty friendly and speedy service.Warm atmosphere. When I went, I do not think they played any music at all. Would recommend some low-volume music rather than silence and inevitably hearing other people's conversations.Food itself is good. Recommend egg-drop soup. Soft and kind of thick with swirls of egg. Not exactly authentic Chinese food, but more genuine than fast food chains.

I've been ordering take out here for a while, the food is decent and the price: inexpensive, there were some talk that they were closing down a while back, ( I think I read it here on Yelp) I felt bad.But after snooping around the with the staff not long ago, word on the street is that they got acquired by a Hong Kong based restaurant group?!?! To be honest, I'm kinda looking forward to see what changes will be made. This place deserves new life, it's an institution in the Village. I'll always be back here and I can't wait for Suzie's 2.0

I enjoyed my meal here. It's a convenient location. The decor is not spectacular, but it's nice. They have a good lunch special. Soup, two wings, a main dish (I had shrimp with lobster sauce), fried rice, under $8. The food seemed well prepared and very tasty. Service was good.

I like a place that puts up tons of black and white photos of celebrities on their walls for decoration. No, no, they are not autographed, Suzie's just likes random pics of Marilyn Monroe and Arnold Schwarzenegger watching over their customers.The dumplings were amazing, the dumpling dough was so good and perfectly cooked. The pan fried pork dumplings are basically why I gave this place 3 stars. The Chow Fun noodles were basic and good. However the sweet and sour chicken we got was fried way too long and they were hard. I didn't eat it, and after drinking frozen margaritas on Bleecker St for 4 hrs and not eating anything until now, thats saying something.The decor was conservative 80's restaurant decor, complete with the white heavy linen table cloth and lighting.Wouldn't go back here because it's nothing special and the price was above average for the small serving sizes that you get. But I may have a dream or two about those pork dumplings.

I work at a school across the street from Szechuan Star. Our staff love this restaurant and the quality of their food never disappoints us in all the years we have been enjoying their wonderful meals. They also cater our board meetings and special events. There are a lot of Chinese restaurants in our area, but his one is superb - not only for their outstanding menu but also for the warmth and kindness of their staff.

The food is just great! I go at least twice a week. Everyone that I take there is hooked! I love Chinese food and have been to restaurants around the world. This is absolutely my favorite....HANDS DOWN!!!

The food is fresh and the service is amazing. Not only do they bring you your food at warp speed, but the staff is extremely nice. They also boast an extensive vegetarian menu.
