"Second Review, Much Better!!"   My Rating

	Review: I posted a review about a year ago and gave three cows. My review then stated that since they weren't busy the food seemed stale, gummy, and just not not good. someone below posted saying when its good its really good but when its bad its bad! I couldn't agree more!! and my last post was one of the ugh it was bad ones. We were there on a night which they weren't busy so i guess the food just wasn't turning over so they weren't refreshing with fresh stuff! anyway, my husband and i decided to give it another shot - one year later and were pleasantly surprised, so much so that we've been twice this month:) First and foremost, both times we went they were pretty busy. not packed but busy. so the food was turning over and definitely seemed fresh. Their veggie sushi (which i didn't recall being on the buffet a year ago) is VERY delish! probably my fave thing there... and my second fave is the spicy steamed edamame - WOW:) that stuff rocks too!!! The sweet and sour meatballs with veggie fried rice are wonderful, along with super crispy yummy spring rolls! I still do not like their soups at all - i mean gag and the dessert options are a joke (no ice cream w/ buffet). but the good definitely outweighs the bad here for sure now and i know we'll be making it a regular stop for us. especially being out in chester county, we aren't overflowing with vegan restaurants haha...   Pros: all vegan menu!! * Buffet at Lunch & Dinner * good prices Cons: can be hit or miss * horrible desserts *

"Delish!"   My Rating

	Review: The buffet is marvelous and reasonably priced. I think the hot and sour soup is the best I've had. Definitely better than any other Chinese restaurant I've been to. I tried a little bit of everything from the buffet and it was all delicious. The all you can eat buffet is a great way to try a lot of things, or you can order from the menu. For dessert, there was homemade peach pie and chocolate cake. Both were quite impressive. The owner is friendly, and happy to let customers sit and chat for hours. She is also more cautious than other chinese vegetarian restaurateurs about keeping non-vegan food out of the restaurant, so you can feel very comfortable with what you're eating. It's a little far from center city, but the drive without traffic takes a mere 30 minutes. It's worth it.   Pros: delicious food * nice owner * good prices Cons: not in Center City * *

"Good food, nice staff"   My Rating

	Review: We have eaten here 3 or 4 times in the last 4 months, and each time we go in, the buffet is a solid winner. One thing we noticed was that if you get there early for dinner, like 4:30-5:00 the buffet is more fresh and vibrant. I realize that most people don't like to eat dinner that early, but that seems to be how our timing has worked out. We have to drive an hour to get there, and always laugh because we have to use the stupid KFC sign as a landmark for the parking lot of the place. The other thing of interest is in the same shopping mall there are other vendors of health and beauty aids, a yoga store/gym and a natural health center. The restaurant is very active in the vegetarian community in Philadelphia.   Pros: good buffet food * friendly staff * Cons: not many new items on buffet * *

	Review: I tried this place in Feb and Oct 2006. The first time was on a snowy night and the food in the buffet was dry and gummy. I figured maybe they weren't cooking fresh that night because of the weather. I went back with a friend the second time to give it another go and was once again disappointed. It's a shame there aren't more veggie restaurants in the area.   Pros: location * * Cons: food * *

"Wonderful and Awful"   My Rating

	Review: When this place is on it's game, you cannot find a better Vegan meal. When this place is bad, it's really, really, really bad. It's more often good, but it's so very disappointing when they put out overcooked slop and let it sit there to die. My advice is to walk in and check out the buffet before being seated.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"best chinese buffet"   My Rating
4 greggh	Posted on: Friday, November 03, 2006
	Review: our family loves su tao. strictly vegan chinese. it is my one year old baby's favorite restaurant. we usually hit the buffet, during peak hours the food is refreshed constantly in small enough batches that you usually get fresh, crisp everything. they have a great cold salad bar(salad/veggies, hummus, cold noodles, tofu egg salad), vegan desserts, hot buffet of various chinese dishes made with gluten, tofu, konjac, etc. the pepper steak, dumplings, lo mein, treasure island, lemon chicken, string beans, and twice cooked chicken are all great.   Pros: great mock meat variety * great veggie variety * fair price Cons: fortune cookie not vegan * *
