All-vegan Chinese eatery with extensive menu, comfort food
"A cavernous old building on SE Powell is the scene of some of the best vegan Chinese cuisine Portland has to offer. The objective at Yuan Su isn’t reinvention but expert imitation, delivering vegan renditions that inspire double-takes. Even non-vegans might find themselves fooled by the restaurant’s “pork,” thanks to its deceptively rich flavor and tender texture. The wine and beer list can generously be described as modest, but smoothies come in several flavors." - Nathan Williams
"To finish the day I head to Yuan Su Vegetarian on 112th and Southeast Powell and dig into the extensive menu of veganized Chinese-American dishes—large plates are sectioned into vegan “pork,” “chicken,” “seafood,” “beef,” and tofu; I usually order a combo plate so I can try more, and the No. 1 combo (sweet-and-sour chicken, beef and broccoli, veggie ham fried rice, and a crispy spring roll) is a great sampler." - Eater
"Unpretentious, flavor-forward comfort food executed perfectly." - Eater Staff
"Home of the largest all-vegan Chinese takeout menu in town, Yuan Su Vegetarian offers nine different soups filled with vegetables, tofu, and satisfyingly “meaty” mock meats. Customers can choose between hot and sour, mushroom and vegetable, and “chicken” with sweet corn soups. Customers can place orders by phone or on the website." - Waz Wu
"Yuan Su Vegetarian remains open for takeout orders and delivery via Postmates. They continue to run their extensive menu of vegan Chinese dishes from mapo tofu to “beef” chow fun noodles." - Waz Wu
