"Unit Su Vege is a Chinese restaurant in Fairmount that serves exclusively vegetarian and vegan dishes. One of our favorites on their menu are the “shrimp” dumplings, which taste similar to imitation crab. The soft and chewy dumplings have a hint of crispness from the ginger and a nutty flavor from the bamboo shoots, and pretty much anything here works great when you're feeling lazy and want an excellent takeout meal." - candis mclean
"Spring Garden’s Unit Su Vege is one of the few spots in Philly that exclusively serves vegetarian and vegan versions of Chinese classics (which are all kosher, by the way). We especially like the “shrimp” dumplings. These taste a little like imitation crab, with a specific crispness from ginger and nuttiness from bamboo shoots." - candis mclean
"Unit Su Vege exclusively serves vegetarian versions of Chinese classics. Everything is kosher and costs less than $20, including some good renditions of general tso's seitan, Chinese broccoli with dried tofu, and braised soy chicken in a red pepper sauce. We especially like the $11 lunch specials and the “shrimp” dumplings, which taste like imitation crab and have a specific crispness from ginger and bamboo shoots." - candis mclean
"Uptown Veg has been feeding upper Manhattan’s vegan population since the early '90s. Since then, the father-daughter duo behind the place has opened a second Harlem location that focuses on salads and juice, and there’s a third Bed-Stuy location in the works. The original spot sells everything from plant-based chicken curry to Philly cheesesteaks that we find ourselves wanting to order even on our meat-eating days. The longtime Harlem business also serves the local unhoused community every night, seven days a week." - Neha Talreja
"Most of the time, soup dumplings are a pure carnivorous experience which means vegetarians have to sit out of the fun. Unit Su Vege makes it a point to say that Chinese vegetarian food definitely exists and is welcome in Philly. Unit Su Vege has veggie-filled soup dumplings alongside a vast menu of small-plates." - Art Phung
