A visit to Su Xing will change your mind about tofu in an instant. The restaurant is conveniently located at 15th and Sansom - right in the middle of the city. The atmosphere is quiet, but family-friendly. The staff is cordial and the service is moderate. The food is delicious! The portions are large and all for a great price. Though it is open seven days a week, the restaurant is International Kosher Council approved.
I have been to Su Xing a handful of times and I am always amazed by the variety of dishes.
Appetizers: The spring roles are normal, crispy and well done. The steamed dumplings are scrumptious! They are soft, not too sticky, and are filled with well-cooked veggies.
Soup: The hot and sour soup is wonderful! On a rainy or cold winter day, this is one of my favorites. It has the right level of spice and a great flavor.
Noodles and Rice: The Pan Fried Noodles with Mixed Vegetable was good; the noodles were a little overcooked, but the veggies and sauce were just right. It also had large chunks of seitan - the wheat-based protein - which are well-cooked, but is definitely an acquired taste. The veggie fried rice was typical, but had little chunks of seitan, which added protein and flavor to the dish.
Tofu and Vegetables: Spicy Szechuan Style Tofu and Kung Pao Dried Tofu (the latter has roasted peanuts) both have slightly spicy sauces with great flavor and fresh cut veggies. The Moo Shoo Vegetable and Tofu is one of my personal favorites. It comes with thin, crepe or thin tortilla-like, wraps, shredded tofu and veggies (well-prepared cabbage, bamboo, etc.), and hoisin sauce. Another delightful dish is the Triple Shredded in Garlic Sauce, which contains a light garlic sauce with fried, shredded, tofu and soy bean protein with shredded mushrooms.
The orange slices and fortune cookies are a perfect end to the meal.
No matter what type of sauce, veggies, or vegetarian protein option you prefer, Su Xing has it. Overall - highly recommended!
