I LOVE Azar's! They have a very affordable, fresh, and flavorful selection of mediterranean dishes that are consistently delicious. Everything I've had on their menu has been amazing, but I always come back to the chicken tawook wrap with their crisp...
Azar’s Mediterranean Specialties
Blue Fin is hands down the best sushi spot in Virginia Beach. The owner makes his one sauces from scratch and you can taste the quality in every roll. There are plenty of raw and cooked menu items for people who don't like raw fish, and it’s all deli...
Blue Fin Japanese Restaurant
No Frill has really good American food, with a menu that's big enough to give you plenty of options without being overwhelming. My favorites are the tomato soup, spinach dip, the french dip, the po boy, and they have the BEST key lime pie I've ever h...
No Frill Bar And Grill
In my opinion, this is THE best pho restaraunt in the area. Their Bahn Mi is also very good as well as their rice dishes. The staff are also very friendly and attentive, and they don't close until 10pm for those who like to eat later.
Saigon #1 Pho
Gerald's is such a cute sweets shop! They have a lot of ice cream flavors and they even have oat milk ice cream for those who don't eat dairy. Their affogatos are amazing and topped with thick, homemade whipped cream. They also offer a selection of b...
Gerald's Ice Cream & Affogatos
Hands down the best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had in my life. I couldn't tell you anything about their other menu items because that sandwich is so good that it's all I want when I go there.
Malbon Brothers Corner Mart BBQ and Catering
Cholo's is my favorite spot for peruvian chicken. The salad that comes with the chicken meal is also so addicting. Their lomo soltado is the best i've had in the area.
Cholo's Peruvian Restaurant
One of my two personal favorite thai place in the city. Their noodle dishes are amazing and the summer rolls (with shrimp!) are to die for.
Kao Thai Restaurant
My other favorite thai place with amazing noodles. I also recommend their shrimp salad! Amazing and so flavorful.
Tida Thai Cuisine
AMAZING filipino bakery with very affordable prices!!! They also have coffee and matcha. I love the dirty pandan matcha or an ube latte. Their pan de sal is always warm and soft and the pepperoni bread is a classic.
Angie's Bakery
If you like fish tacos, you MUST get some from Bro's! I cannot speak for the whole menu because they do these tacos so well that I cannot order anything different. I recommend this- the Truth taco (fried flounder) and the grilled shrimp taco. You HAV...
Bro's Fish Tacos
If youre in the mood for a light but filling lunch, this place is four you. GG has delicious sandwiches and sides that are simple yet executed so well. I recommend the caprese sandwich or their turkey.
Gourmet Gang - Lynnhaven Parkway
There are not enough words to express how much I love Ezma's. Dining inside is such a great experience, from the friendly staff to the comforting and nostalgic decor, and the delicous food. Their breakfast is top tier, i highly recommend getting at l...
Ezma's Bread Box Cafe
Pollard's is a local staple serving fried chicken and classic southern food. The chicken is so good, and you can order individual pieces or full pans of it! Their sides are good too.
Pollard's Chicken
This place may look unassuming, but it's my absolute favorite pizza place in the city. They have pretty good bundle deals on pizza, wings, and a 2 liter, as well as subs and fries for two. Their pizza is a delicious thin crust with a unique cheese bl...
Town Center Pizzeria
