🍴 Virginia Beach Food Guide

Spent a long weekend at VA Beach — too chilly to swim 😂, so we ate and slept for 3 days straight! Surprisingly, the Chinese food and seafood here are top-tier. So dang good! 🦪 SEAFOOD 1️⃣ The Atlantic Hyped on Xiaohongshu, but lives up to it! Must-tries: Grilled oysters with cheese, spinach & bacon 🧀🥓 + raw clams Specials like spicy soft-shell crab 🦀 and lobster pasta 🍝 are also fire 2️⃣ CP Shuckers Cafe and Raw Bar Super American, super casual, HUGE portions 😂 Raw oysters: Cheap (12 for $18) but not as clean as The Atlantic Steamed mussels with wine & garlic 🍷🧄 — light and flavorful Fresh fish & chips + crab cake — you taste the ocean! 🍜 CHINESE 1️⃣ Judy’s Sichuan Not overly greasy or heavy — balanced flavors! Must-order: Dry-braised eggplant 🍆 (savory sauce is everything) Crispy intestines (clean and flavorful) Dan dan noodles (nutty sesame base) Boneless chicken in Sichuan chili oil 🌶️ 2️⃣ Noodle Man Authentic Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles 🍜 Beef noodle soup: rich broth, generous beef portions Taiwanese tomato beef noodle with pickled greens 🍅 Also serves Sichuan/ Jiangzhe dim sum! 🥤 BUBBLE TEA 1️⃣ The Whale Tea Cute smiley-face egg waffles 🥰 + solid bubble tea Not mind-blowing, but hits the spot 👀 Follow me for more food adventures, travel tips & shopping hauls! 🤣 #VirginiaBeachEats #SeafoodLovers #ChineseFood #BubbleTea #DMVFoodGuide
