So excited, we stuffed ourselves - Edit
Hard to find, in the corner of a forgotten tiny strip mall, is the humble Su Tao. It was our first vegan buffet, and we so excitedly stuffed ourselves that we felt uncomfortable afterwards and had no room for the wonderful little cakes and pastries. We need to have a little restraint, but we come from a town that knows little of the word vegan. (One server we used it on thought it was a medical condition.)
Read moreLooks BYOB; would Buddhists mind you drinking? Some foods are fried, but doesn't the fact that they are vegan offset some of that?
We saw families, college students, retirees, all happily enjoying the vegan feast. This is not a fancy or romantic place, but it is amazing inexpensive for the spread you get. Don't eat the entire day before you go!
Pros: Huge array, Super cheap, BYOB
Cons: Buffet can wilt in off hours

casual date night - Edit
I went to SuTao with a date last night. I didn't really know what to expect when I went in, but I was pleasantly surprised. We did the buffet, which was a really great value. The salad/cold bar was pretty substantial. Anything from your classic veggies and fruits, to edamame, tofu salad, and grilled tofu. Their hot bar was pretty awesome too. All sorts of yummy asian-inspired foods and sushi rolls. And for dessert we had a really tasty peach cobbler. And there's always a big carafe of unsweetened iced tea! My fave. Two thumbs up, I wanna go back.

Second Review, Much Better!! - Edit
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!
Read moreanyway, 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

Su Tao - Edit
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.

Wonderful and Awful - Edit
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.

best chinese buffet - Edit
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.
Read morePros: great mock meat variety, great veggie variety, fair price
Cons: fortune cookie not vegan
