Outside of Thai Thai's
Thai Thai’s is a new restaurant that opened in the new Stoney Run section in Newport News. This is the new shopping/living/eating complex at the corner of Jefferson and Denbigh.
Thai Thai’s is a takeout restaurant that also has some inside seating. When you walk in, it looks very clean and welcoming. The lady at the register was very nice and courteous. You can eat in or take out. My husband and I decided to eat in. Click here to read more »

We walked into Nonnas and were seated promptly even though they were very busy. They really have a lot of room inside their establishment and it was very clean and welcoming.
This was my third time coming to Nonnas and as always, I was not disappointed. They had Valentine’s day dinner options that seemed very upscale and delicious. One option was portabello mushrooms stuffed with risotto cheese, pesto, and more. Their stromboli’s are enormous. My sister got one and it was at least 3 meals for her. They have huge portions for the prices. Click here to read more »

Osaka Sushi Bar
Osaka Sushi Bar in Stoney Run Shopping Center in Newport News was a nice surprise. My husband and I went on a week night and they weren’t busy at all. It was just us and one more couple. The atmosphere was nice thought not overly Asian themed. They don’t have an overwhelming selection of vegetarian options but I like how they label their rolls as “c” for cooked, “u” for uncooked, and “v” for veggie. Be sure to not confuse the U’s for V’s. The best veggie roll that I’ve tried there is the cucumber avocado roll. It had roasted sesame seeds around the rice that really added to the flavor. It was delicious! The service was quick and friendly and the price was just right ($3.50 for the cucumber/avocado roll). I will definitely go back.
This was my first time here. I went for Chinese New Year and Jow Ga Kung Fu did the Dragon Dance, Lion Dance, and demonstration. It was very fun. The food was great. I ordered Curry Tofu. The tofu was fried just right and the curry sauce was excellent. Not too spicy and a hint of sweetness. For dessert I would definitely recommend you try the Chinese Donuts. They were fresh out the oven and melted in my mouth. They weren’t loaded in sugar, like other places. They used a good amount of powdered sugar, just enough to add extra sweetness. The staff was very friendly and easy to talk to granted it was a full house due to the Chinese New Year celebration. If I had one recommendation to them, it would be to update the decor. Other than that, everything was excellent. I would definitely go there again. They have more vegetarian food to try!
Mama Lina's - Newport News, VA
Date: October 3, 2008
Time: Approx 7:30pm
I had great expectations for Mama Linas since I read a review of someone on the southside traveling to the peninsula just to eat there. I was craving Italian so I thought – perfect time to try them out. BIG MISTAKE.
We came in and ordered without much trouble. The problems started AFTER ordering. Click here to read more »

We went to Kotobuki Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar on a Sunday night and they were not busy at all. We walked in and were greeted and sat down right away. The atmosphere is Asian/Modern. After ordering our drinks, we were ready to order right away. They have an extensive vegetarian menu for a Japanese restaurant. To name a few: Vegetarian Shrimp Tempura, Vegetarian Salmon Roll, Vegetarian Lobster Roll, Vegetarian Ham, and Vegetarian Chicken Teriyaki. Click here to read more »

Ah. Thai food. Pattaya, located on George Washington Memorial Hwy in Yorktown, is one of many local restaurants offering Thai Cuisine.
Pattaya Thai Cuisine
The first thing you notice when you walk in, is their modern and elegant atmosphere. We came during lunchtime, around 11:30, and were sat down right away. As soon as we sat down, the glasses in front of us were filled with water. Looking at their menu, they had a “vegetarian” section with plenty of options. They had Veggie Pad Thai, Tofu or Eggplant delight, Veggie Fried Rice, and more. Click here to read more »

I love Silver Diner. Or, perhaps I should say, I loved Silver Diner. They had the best veggie burger bites ever – granted they are made with what I think are the Morning Star sausage patties and barbecue sauce, they are still better than my homemade ones… Click here to read more »

Baker's Crust - Norfolk, VA
This was my first time going to the Baker’s Crust. After we walked in, we were greeted and sat down promptly. There wasn’t a wait at all and on a Saturday night, that’s amazing. We had the option to eat outside but decided to eat inside because it was kind of muggy out and getting dark.
Once we sat down and ordered our drinks (I had some great tasting peach tea), they brought out some bread and butter. It wasn’t out of this world but was still pretty good. I’m a bread-lover though so I have to say I’m a bit picky.
