Shoutout to another spot that currently offers free delivery on Yelp! I am actually pretty sad as I write this. Why? Because I just finished the last of my leftovers from Pizza 204. I didn't actually expect to write a review for this spot yet since I haven't visited the physical location and I haven't tried their pizza yet. However, I was so excited to eat my leftovers that I feel like I need to write a review. I started with an order of mozzarella sticks. I haven't had mozzarella sticks in awhile and I really wasn't expecting to get so jazzed about them. I. could. not. stop. I'm both embarrassed and proud of admit that I ate all of them in one sitting. I rarely have a big appetite, but there was something about these mozz sticks, I couldn't stop eating them. Maybe this is how any person would react eating mozz sticks for the first time in awhile with no supervision. They are on the smaller side, but definitely priced appropriately for the quantity you receive. I was feeling spaghetti and meatballs for my meal- "meatballs parmigiana." Again, not something I've ordered in awhile and I was hesitant to order it from a place with "pizza" in the name. I didn't have high expectations and honestly I didn't plan to review this meal. Again though, I couldn't stop eating it. At least not until I was absolutely stuffed. The pasta was cooked perfectly, not overly salty like some of the other italian spots at the Oceanfront. I could choose between spaghetti, penne, or fettuccini. The meatballs were very good and they gave enough to make it feel like a $15 meal. The cheese was generous, but not overpowering. My meal also came with a house salad and a few garlic knots. I ate one garlic knot, it was fine, but not tempting to keep eating since I liked the mozz sticks and pasta so much. I didn't touch the house salad, I kinda forgot about it until I was clearing the table. I'll definitely be ordering again soon and maybe I'll even pick a day to check it out in person. read more

We were hanging out at the oceanfront one evening and stopped by here for a couple slices of pizza and some cheese fries. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside. After we placed our order inside we went outside and grabbed a few chairs at their countertop area which faces the sidewalk. When our food was ready they brought it to out to us. The pizza was great. It was definitely like a New York style pizza. The crust had a good crunch to it...nice and crispy. We both dont like doughy-like crust. The crispier the better! The cheese and pepperoni portion was generous and not overly greasy. Cheese fries were pretty good....Dave says it might have been cheese wiz. It also had bacon bits topped over it. The fries were crispy. Nice little pizza place! I think we'd come back if we are out and about at the beach again! read more

This place is THE REAL DEAL. They make the food to order, nothing is pre-made except balls of dough. You can watch your pizza being made from stretching and shaping the dough to pulling it out of the oven. Pastas are freshly made and are not sitting in hot water waiting for orders. We ate here 3 times during a 5 day stay. We had margherita pizza, sausage and pepperoni pizza, spaghetti, chicken Alfredo and shrimp Alfredo. Everything was fantastic!!! Highly recommend this place. Very worth the money and the wait times for the food! read more

Called to order pizza delivery around 09:00PM but the line was busy. Waited 5 minutes and tried again. They answered, said they were busy, asked if I could hold, and put the phone down. I could hear everything that was going on. 15 to 20 minutes later I was still standing there with the phone against my ear like an idiot. Kept saying Hello? Hello? Hung up the phone and tried to call back in. Line was busy again. Waited a few more minutes and try it again. They answered, said they were busy, asked if I could hold - I interrupted them and said no, that I called before and was standing there with the phone for 15 to 20 minutes and no one came back. The girl said they were really busy. I said that's fine, I can order online. I just want to confirm that you actually do have gluten-free pizza. She confirmed. Ordered online - nowhere did it have an option for gluten free. So I ordered an 18-in veggie and put in the comments box "gluten-free", requested delivery through GrubHub. The app came back and said delivery between 10:53 to 11:03 PM (the place is open till 2:00 a.m.). 11:15 still waiting... Called GrubHub and they asked me if I wanted to cancel? I said no, I don't want to cancel. I want to know where my food is. I asked what the status was, they put me on hold and called the restaurant. Came back and said the order was going out the door in 3 minutes, the restaurant was 7 minutes from me so if I didn't hear anything by 10 to 15 minutes to call back. 11:30 I'm still waiting. Phone rings and it's the restaurant. They asked me if I want to cancel? I asked the girl why does everybody keep thinking I want to cancel? No, I want my food! Ask her to please confirm that she got the order, that it was for gluten-free and when was the order going out? She said she didn't know what happened to my ticket but they have it, and in 10 to 15 minutes the pizza is going out the door. It's after midnight now, still no pizza. Call GrubHub back, asked them to check the status. They put me on hold again, called the restaurant, came back and said I should have my pizza in 10 to 15 minutes. (This is getting old). Girlfriend is pissed. 23 minutes after midnight there's a knock on the door. A guy is standing there smiling holding two small pizza boxes. I'm looking at the two pizza boxes, I'm looking at him. I'm looking at two pizza boxes, I'm looking at him. I'm trying to figure out where my 18-in pizza is and why the guys holding two boxes that are small. He says in a heavy accent, I'm sorry, we don't have gluten-free in the 18 inch so I brought you two 10 inch. In all the conversations over a coupl hours - in other words with plenty of opportunity - no one ever said anything about them not having gluten-free pizza in 18 in. Took the two pizzas cuz what am I going to do, everything else is closed now. Call GrubHub back told them I don't like that I have to tip in advance for an online order and then get crummy service. They said they would refund the tip. 5 minutes later my phone beeps, it's a message from GrubHub saying what the tip amount was, and then the refund amount is $0.00. Never ordering from this pizza place again. Never using GrubHub again. Never tipping in advance again for an online order for the rest of my life. Avoid like the plague. read more

Once you are so into Yelp it's like second nature to check a business out prior to using them. However, in the case of a couple of hungry kids who just finished four hours of climbing at The Adventure Park they had there say. It would be the first pizza place we could find on the beach. Well this was it and even though the current Yelp reviews are not horrible I would have moved on. Service at the counter by an Indian woman was friendly. Place was clean on the interior, they have a few booths. It's a small place. Outdoor patio has a few tables and also clean. So I was satisfied with the service and cleanliness. We ordered garlic knots and a 14 inch peperoni pizza and a few bottles of water. All seemed completely safe and should hit the spot after missing lunch. Strangely they did not have Diet Pepsi available in their fountain machine. Prices seemed fair for the beach, around $25. The weather was way too nice to not set outside. Arguments and wines began from the kids who feared flies would invade us. It took less than 10 minutes and garlic knots were in front of us, unfortunately they were rock hard. So when our waitress brought out the pizza we told her the knots were hard and asked for another basket. I thought the pizza was decent, kids did not like it. Second round of knots came out in minutes tasting better, most certainly softer, but not good enough for me to eat them. The sauce was possibly the best thing about them and that is not saying much. Before we left a stop by the restroom to clean off our hands. Working toilet, check, working water check, supplies, check, BIG HOLE in the wall double check! Not a place I would ever return to myself, I gave credit where credit was due which yielded at least another star for them on the cleanliness/friendliness. So if your reading this review and I hope you are, tell your kids NO PIZZA FOR YOU! At least at this place. Or, if your desperate, be my guest and take your chances. read more

Our kind Server gave us all the information we needed and we didn't plan on Happy Hour but why not as they offered delicious apps and drinks. We ordered the Fritto Misto (perfectly fried calamari/shrimp), Baked Meatballs (delicious) and a Caesar Salad that came with anchovies (we usually have to ask). For wine (all part of Happy Hour), it was Pinot Grigio Sassi), Rose (Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo) and Pinot Noir (Franco Serra)-all tasty and paired well with our dinner. We all wanted pasta especially since they made their own and they had a few options. We ordered the Malfadine (first time having this pasta -resembles torn up lasagna pieces given the ridges, sausage, pesto all played nicely together), Lumache (short rib and vodka sauce-delicious!-who knew?) and Radiatore (Carbonara with Pork Belly-usually Guanciale, pancetta etc. but the Belly worked!). We liked that the Pasta portions were just right (still had leftovers despite) and priced accordingly. Evan took great care of us. He was attentive and so engaged! What a find!

The ceiling tile above our table was literally falling out and looked like it was one bump away from landing on someone. On top of that, it was uncomfortably hot inside. Considering how hot it was outside, it seemed like the air conditioning either wasn't working or wasn't turned on. The biggest disappointment was the service and how the restaurant handled multiple mistakes. We had a party of eight, and our checks were completely messed up--including one check that somehow had a 42% gratuity added. That's the kind of error that should have been easy to correct. Things only got worse from there. One person's leftovers were taken to be boxed up and never came back. When we asked about them, they returned with a steaming hot container of broth and tomatoes... except the original meal was seafood with shrimp, mussels, and fish. It was obvious the food had been lost and hastily replaced. Another friend had his leftover pizza dropped in the kitchen. To make up for it, they offered him a complimentary dessert... then actually charged him for it. The final straw was the interaction with the "manager." When one of our friends politely questioned her bill, he immediately became aggressive and said, "How can I fix this problem? I'm not a mind reader." Instead of listening, he became defensive from the start. He first offered about $80 worth of desserts, then agreed to remove part of the bill instead. A short time later, he returned and claimed he couldn't do anything because "the manager wasn't in yet"--despite presenting himself as the manager moments earlier. The entire interaction was rude, unprofessional, and completely unnecessary. The only bright spot of the evening was our waitress. She was kind, attentive, and clearly doing her best despite everything going wrong around her. Mistakes happen, but she handled herself with professionalism and kindness all night. Unfortunately, between the mediocre food, the multiple service failures, and the way management treated our group, this was not an experience I'd want to repeat.

We were greeted immediately, seated right away, and our waitress was attentive and friendly throughout the evening. Before ordering, I actually spoke with the owner, Gaston, because I wanted his recommendation for the best steak on the menu. He confidently recommended the Cowboy Ribeye, assuring me that it was one of their signature steaks. I ordered it medium rare with a little char, exactly the way I enjoy it. I also asked if I could substitute the mashed potatoes and broccoli for another side since I don't eat either of those. I was told substitutions were not allowed. For a $60 steak, I found that disappointing. I wasn't asking for anything extravagant--just a different vegetable or a simple side salad. When my steak arrived, it was much smaller than I expected for the price and didn't resemble the Cowboy Ribeye I was anticipating. It was cooked slightly over medium rare, and while it wasn't terrible, the flavor was only average and had a slightly off taste, almost as if the broiler hadn't been cleaned recently. To make matters worse, the mashed potatoes and broccoli I had specifically asked to leave off the plate were served anyway. To be fair, the service was excellent. Our waitress handled everything professionally and even apologized for the sides, explaining the kitchen had plated them before she could stop it. The chicken scallopini ordered by someone else in our party was very good, and the other chicken entrées were also enjoyed. Unfortunately, I came for the steak, and that's where the experience fell well short of expectations. At this price point, I expected a high-quality cut of beef, some flexibility with side dishes, and an overall experience that matched the cost. Instead, it felt like every effort was made to minimize portions and avoid accommodating a simple request. I always try to support local restaurants, and I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews. But when you're paying premium prices, the food should reflect it. Based on my experience, I can't recommend the steaks here.

We had olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the table as well that could be used as a dipping oil for the bread. I decided on the Onion Soup to start, which was very savory and delicious. For my entree, I ordered the Wagyu Bolognese and my friend ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo. Unfortunately, the pasta in our dishes were a bit hard and chewy, it should've been cooked a tad bit longer. Also, my friend asked if the pasta was homemade and the server let us know that it wasn't...we could tell! You would think for an Italian restaurant like this, they would've had homemade pasta, it definitely would've helped the dish. The Bolognese was okay but lacked a lot of flavor. I barely ate it. The restaurant was beautiful and the service was great but I've had better pasta elsewhere. If I were to return, it would probably be for the soup and appetizers.

Walking up we weren't quite sure being at the top of the Holiday Inn, and music blasting, what would this be like but after an elevator up to the restaurant, our doubts changed! We were seated promptly at a table with a nice view of the ocean and it was pretty and cozy and perfect. Anthony was our waiter and aside from him being super busy (everything was still perfect), we were wow'd. They brought fresh bread right away and cocktails were great. We started with the table side Caesar and it's a must. One of the best salads we've ever had. Our daughter had no interest but decided to try it based on how much we liked it and our picky eater agreed it was good. For our entrees we had manicotti, spaghetti & meatballs, and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Everything was delicious. Zero complaints! For dessert we shared a chocolate layer cake with raspberry and some type of crème and it was good and plated so nice. Highlight-this appears to be the place for celebrations! An older gentleman sang Happy Birthday in Italian, then the next table over had a birthday and he sang to her in Spanish! Our waiter asked us if we were celebrating and indeed we had a birthday in 2 days. My husband being Italian was thrilled but asked for the Spanish version for his birthday too which everyone loved! Especially impressive that this gentleman is not a native Italian speaker and he could do both! Cannot say wow enough. What a gem of a place with great staff and aside from it being in a little bit of an odd location, beats anywhere we've ever been in Virginia Beach!

I recently stopped by Ohana & Co. at Red Mill in Virginia Beach after hearing about their banana…read moremalasadas. We actually drove about 30 minutes specifically to try them, but unfortunately they weren't available. Even though I was disappointed, I still had a really nice experience. The café wasn't busy when we visited there was only one couple dining in, it was clean, and the customer service was great. The employee who helped us was friendly, welcoming, and very kind. Since they were out of the malasadas, I decided to order the banana latte instead. I'd give it about a 7/10. For context, I'm always searching for a great banana latte because I love flavored coffee. One thing that frustrates me is when coffee shops advertise flavors like cookie butter, lemon pound cake, or red velvet, but the drink just ends up tasting like sweet coffee with no real trace of the advertised flavor. I was pleasantly surprised because this latte actually tasted like banana. It wasn't the best banana latte I've ever had that title still belongs to one I had in Las Vegas but it was definitely one of the better ones I've tried. The only reason it wasn't rated higher is because I noticed a sugary base flavor that overpowered the coffee a little for me. I personally prefer flavored lattes where I mainly taste the coffee cut with milk and the featured flavor heavily, not just sweetness. That's purely my preference. The fact that I finished the entire drink says a lot. I've had plenty of flavored coffees that I couldn't even finish because I disliked them so much. This wasn't one of those. I enjoyed it, and I definitely didn't regret ordering it. Now...the real star of the visit was the lumpia. It was AMAZING. Crispy, flavorful, and easily some of the best lumpia I've had. I actually tried another lumpia spot recently, and while it was decent, Ohana & Co.'s lumpia completely won me over. It's honestly the reason I'll be back. I have an eye appointment in the area next week, and I'm already planning another stop. I'll definitely be ordering the lumpia again, and this time I'm hoping they have the banana malasadas because that's what I originally came for. I also want to try one of their platters. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend giving Ohana & Co. a try. The customer service was wonderful, the café was clean, the banana latte was one of the better ones I've had, and the lumpia alone is worth the drive.

Food: This is where I was disappointed. Happy we went during happy hour because none of the food was worth full price. The chicharrones looked like store bought pork rinds and tasted like it too. The potstickers tasted like the frozen ones you get from the grocery store. The shrimp ceviche was essentially tasteless. Once the jalapeño ice cream melted, it tasted a little better but I wish they had served it with more onions and lime to give it more flavor. The goat cheese and olive was good but nothing special. I wish they gave us more bread REPLY TO BUSINESS OWNER: WOW, that was an extremely unprofessional reply. None of the cocktails we ordered were vodka redbull.

Well, I had an incredible lunch experience at Wang Jiang Lou that made my day! It all began with the warm welcome, followed by incredible service table side and even as I left the team made me feel good (More later!). Whoever designed this restaurant knows something about creating an escape from the world experience. The paneling, table settings, lighting, and every inch of the dining area allowed me to take a deep breath escaping from a hectic hot and humid Virginia Beach weekday hustle! The $16 lunch is a bargain! Offering several impressive entrees plus soup. I am extremely particular about Hot and Sour soup and this bowl was delicious with a subtly of flavors and a pleasant silky texture. I consumed every last drop and returned a clean bowl! I chose Yu Xiang Pork as my entree, which my waitress said was one of the top two favorites along with the pork belly. She said she would give the Yu Xiang Pork the edge. She was right because I loved this dish! I like heat and this offered heat. I like varied texture and this had a range of textures. I want flavor that makes you eat everything served and this delicious lunch offering succeeded. For the price I was so impressed with the variety of mushrooms!! The cherry on top for this visit (No, I didn't get an ice cream sundae.) was the warm thank you's PLURAL that I received from the people up front as I left. Their smiles were beaming at me and they genuinely made me feel like they were happy I came in for a $16 lunch. I said with a wink that I was going to the kitchen to see if they would provide the same smiles of thanks and was told that they would (No, I didn't go to find out.). Clearly a great team serving delicious food in an awesome setting made me wish I lived in Virginia Beach but then I stepped outside into the heat, humidity and hectic world that this FIVE STAR restaurant named Wang Jiang Lou made me forget about for an hour.
