Great option for vegan Chinese. Food is always good and the ladies that run the place are absolute sweethearts. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.

Satisfying - Edit
Great food. Love that everything is vegan. The General Tso tofu is amazing! Customer service is awesome here! And everything is freshly prepared. Although they are a bit spendy, you get at least two meals out of every order so it's worth it.

you have to know what to order// $$$$$$ - Edit
We have been regular customers at Yuan Su for years. One note is that every menu item has gone up $/yr, so over 5 yrs it has increased at least $5. This changes how much food we can get and the prices are higher than some places that are making organic meals from scratch, which this is not.
Read moreYou have to know which items are deep fried and which are not. Some veggie dishes are really mostly celery, like a ton of it, or poorly cooked mushrooms. The dumplings are poorly made & greasy and not worth the $10/6, honestly not worth half that.
If you can navigate the menu well, you can get a well balanced meal. I crave and love their soups, which have become expensive.
Generally I think the staff tries their best and means well. Not without issue: if you get takeout verify the lids are completely on. Other issues I will keep private for the benefit of the doubt.
We generally have slowed our roll here, and become infrequent visitors. We'll get soup, but some dishes can be a little bit of deep fried with a ton of celery for $20. Less of a problem when it was half that. So a bit on the hit or miss side of things, whereas prior it felt more 'on'.
Our last entrée was very greasy, the same one not being so last visits.
Pros: something East of 205! , soup
Cons: constant price hikes , menu navigation , veggie variety & quality

Chow Down on Chow Fun - Edit
We ordered Turmeric Fried Rice (with peas and carrots) and Veggie Beef Chow Fun. Big plates of food were served within minutes. The fried rice was flavorful, but not oily. The Chow Fun included flat noodles, carrots, bean sprouts, and snow peas. I would have preferred more beef, but otherwise it was good.

Definitely will be back - Edit
The sizzling beef and peppers was excellent. We also had the dinner combo #1. The beef and broccoli was excellent too. Service was very good. Place is huge inside so you don’t have to worry about not getting a table and they have good parking. I asked about anything not being vegan, she reassured us everything was vegan.
Read morePros: Huge menu to choose from
Cons: Little spendy but everything is now

Da Bomb - Edit
Don't let the name fool you - it's actually ALL vegan.
Read moreThis place is a hidden gem. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't let that fool you. Inside is gigantic and looks like a dim sum place.
The food is class American Chinese food. It's greasy, fried and delicious. The General Tso is to die for.
We love this place and crave it all the time.

Classic American Chinese - Edit
If you are craving Chinese takeout you won’t regret coming here. This restaurant is a staple for me and every dish is delicious. Finish with a lager and you’ll be in heaven.

Just like classic American Chinese food - Edit
This restaurant was so fantastic. I was a bit skeptical at first when I pulled into the parking lot - it seemed a bit run down and there weren’t any super clear signs for the location. The menu was enormous, but we ended up ordering potstickers, chow mein, beef and broccoli, and sweet and sour chicken. The food was SO good. I haven’t had American Chinese food in years, and this brought back so many memories. Tasted absolutely fantastic and I would definitely recommend checking this place out.
Read moreThe more the merrier when dining here, since splitting dishes between your group means having more variety for your plate. Portion sizes are great and I’d suggest ~1 dish per person in your party.
Staff were also super friendly and helped make the experience that much greater. Definitely check this fantastic restaurant out!
Pros: Huge menu, Large portion sizes, Super friendly staff
Cons: Location is a bit run down

Yum!! - Edit
This was exactly what I would hope for from a Chinese-American restaurant, but it was all vegan! I was very pleased to enjoy some old “classic” Chinese food that I used to love, but this time plant based:)

Food is consistently delicious, owners are the nicest people ever, prices are great for the portions you get. My only complaint is I no longer live down the street and have to drive 30 min for my fix. 😭

Best Vegan Chinese - Edit
I’m so thrilled there is an all-vegan Chinese restaurant, and am amazed that all my favorite dishes can be enjoyed at Yuan Su.
Read moreGreat pot stickers and sauce. Their thinner, more like gyoza, than you usually find in Chinese restaurants, but still really delicious. The hot and sour soup: spot on!
Their scallion pancakes are crispy and savory. Their mapo tofu was solid. I enjoyed it more as a leftover. Kung Pao tofu- great textures and flavors.
They were really busy at Christmas, and I was so encourage to know so many people were supporting this vegan restaurant.

Terrible Food!!! Greasy vegan food - Edit
They said there were veggies in our ordered dish and there were NONE! The tofu was a 1/2” thin slice covered with 2” of fried batter, making it impossible to taste the tofu! The “ mushroom roll was just tiny pieces of mushrooms in seitan...it was slimy.
Read moreThey say they’re open, but only for takeout.
We got our order home and opened it up and couldn’t believe how bad it was! We returned it and will never go back!
Don’t waste your time and money here!
Pros: Got full refund , None, None
Cons: Terrible food, greasy, Misrepresentation on menu descriptions

Amazing! - Edit
Very delicious, fully vegan, Asian cuisine!! It was a pleasure to eat here! They have just as many, of not more, menu items to choose from than any non-vegan Asian restaurant and they all look super tasty ! They use vegan meat and fish alternatives in their dishes and just transform common Asian meals in to a vegan, plant based plate of goodness ! I would definitely recommend you to check it out!!
