Chengdu, the Sichuan Restaurant

For vegans it’s one of the last legendary vegan Chinese eateries. Support this place, they do it right! Coming here to update my review: Su Xing gets 5/5 all around, they’re a staple for the vegan community in center city & offer both healthy veggie Chinese dishes as well as more Chinese-American style entrees. My partner & I enjoyed the sautéed tofu & the orange “chicken” for entrees as well as the spring rolls & scallion pancakes for starters. It was a Monday night when we dined here & the place was properly busy, which is always a heartwarming thing. Thank you, Su Xing - we will be back soon!

Love that the food here is all vegetarian. Came in after 5 years and food was pretty good. Really enjoyed the sauce and the tofu in the eggplant and tofu lunch special. The spring roll was average. The seaweed salad was good.

So guys, I try Tofu for the first time ever. And I am in love, at least with this particular restaurant. We decided we were going to try Tofu, my husband and I, and it was delicious, I had the eggplant and garlic sauce, and my husband had the sesame tofu, and it was delicious. We made a reservation, and we were able to get seated. As soon as we walked in. Food was great service was amazing atmosphere nice. I also love the antique decoration that they have inside the restaurant. I highly recommend you guys give this restaurant a try. You will not be disappointed.

Great vegan Chinese food. The lunch special is best if you’re looking for a deal. You get an entree which includes rice white or brown, a side (they have a few selections, and a soup. You can also sub out the soup and get two sides. The menu as of late has improved since there is new ownership there are some new items. But a little sad because a few of my favorites are longer on the new menu. If you dine in you get free tea which i love.

Food was very good. Hot and fresh. Everything was cooked well and had flavor. The greeter could have been friendlier, but the waiter was great. I ordered General Tsaos tofu and it was good, will be back to try more

We enjoyed the entire dinner. My husband had the lotus/peanut soup - it was light and very tasty (should like cilantro if you order).The spring rolls were crispy with a hint of sesame oil and not at all greasy. I had the veg heaven with eggplant, string beans and tofu. Each ingredient was separate which I liked. Next time I’ll order it with sauce on the side. My husband had the chow mei fun which was cooked with a delicious smoky flavor. Wait staff was great and the restaurant was clean and appealing. We will definitely be back.

Found myself craving tofu at 7pm on a Wednesday night while in center city and looked up vegetarian spots nearby. This came up and I immediately got excited because ever since New Harmony closed I haven't found another kosher certified Chinese restaurant here in Philly that I enjoyed nearly as much, so I decided to check this out. The kosher certification is displayed on the front window, and is up to date, for anyone who wants to check it. Most of the food served is pareve, with some dairy dishes that are clearly stated in the menu. There were a lot of options that I wanted to try, but I went with pickled cucumber (always a fave) and the "Veg Heaven" entree. Every single part of my meal was delicious and I was very happy from my first bite. The tofu was flavorful, the green beans had snap, and the eggplant lived up to the "heaven" in the name!! To top it all off, my server was incredibly attentive. He kept my hot tea and my glass of water topped off with impeccable timing and he was so friendly. I felt very cared for and I could see everyone around me getting the same excellent service from him. I will definitely be back, next time with friends!

Everything is vegetarian. Vegan option . Parking option is near by garage or street parking. Well organized space as it is in downtown area. Prices are bit expensive but for non veg folks you can definitely try once for the variety of option . Many of most common Chinese food has been recreated in plant based. One star was reduced due to the staff attending was having an attitude on the day. Hope it’s one off those days. May be I can return some time later but must try once for folks haven’t tried. Food we liked are nuggets , garlic fish (?), very aromatic tea , fried rice , spring roll.
