Amazing place and delicious food!

So last week we went to check out YUSU, a new restaurant that just opened up in Gent. Yusu is the passion project of Su Wong, who previously worked as the cook in Superkelly, a very popular restaurant at the same location. So we already knew about the amazing cooking skills of Su before we set foot in this new iteration. Now let me be straight up here: this place is an absolute gem! Yusu offers 100% plant-based food and it's absolutely delicious.

The concept is simple: Su creates Thai sharing dishes where you can basically mix a couple of different things from the menu and the outcome is always the same: happy taste buds. We particularly loved the dumplings and the nems. Not only is the food amazing, but also the place exudes comfort and style. Everything in this place is meticulously thought through.

From the food to the visual style of the menu to the logo to the very distinct colorful, stylish interior... everything is done with finesse and superior taste. We were super curious about the person behind all this and were very excited to learn that Su has actually been a vegan herself for 13 years already. She decided that the best way to get people to try out vegan food is by offering them delicious vegan food. Stroke of genius.

We can't recommend this place enough. If you're vegan, try out this place. If you're not vegan, try out this place. If you live in Gent, try out this place. If you don't live in Gent, mark it as a must-stop on your next visit to Gent. You won't regret it.

Snax Headroom gives this place a solid two thumbs up and a 5 out of 5 for vegan awesomeness. Yusu literally means "with Su" in Thai. And that's how it feels. Like coming back home. Yusu feels like a place you didn't realize you needed and once you've been there, you can't imagine how you ever managed without it.

Een menukaart vol plantaardige smaakbommetjes

Yusu is gevestigd op een bekende locatie, in het zelfde pand als waar eerder Superkelly zat.
Ook Yusu is 100% plantaardig, helemaal gericht op de Aziatische keuken.
We bezochten het restaurant op een maandagavond met gezelschap, de gerechten kunnen gedeeld worden zodat we een groot deel van de kaart konden proeven.
Echt genoten van alles dat op tafel kwam, ook de desserts waren heel lekker.
Hier komen we zeker terug!

Heerlijk genieten met rijkelijke smaken

Eindelijk een volledig vegan Aziatisch restaurant in Gent. We beleefden een geweldige eerste ervaring bij Yusu. Het is een leuk concept waarbij je gerechtjes kan delen. De inrichting is heel rustgevend en toch vol diepe rijke kleuren. Ze serveren overheerlijke gerechten boordevol smaak. Voor de kindjes is er ook een leuke speelhoek.

Pros: Heel vriendelijke bediening, Top concept en heerlijke gerechten, Prachtig interieur
