Suzies Soba - Baltimore

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.Food: 5/5

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!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options

Brace yourself for encountering the meanest old woman you ever did meet when you walk through that door.When we first walked in we just figured, maybe she was flustered and in the middle of something. But no, she was nasty the entire time we were there. I wish we had left after being seated, but my partner really wanted to try the food. So we held out. The food was mediocre.Did not enjoy this place one bit.

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!
