Been looking for a good sichuan place in center city and am so glad i found this one! I know some people are upset that they took away a vegetarian-only spot in the city, but as a meat lover i'm happy they expanded their menu. The beef dry pot is a must have - i requested it to be extra spicy and got just that (quite rare for a chinese spot). It comes with juicy beef, lotus root, and potatoes which i was pleasantly surprised by. Love how the spices tingle in your mouth. Also got the hot and sour soup and the sizzling dumplings. The hot and sour soup was flavorful but not the best out there; however for $12 you get a nice serving portion for at least 3 people to share. Because of the recent menu expansion, the staff isn't too well versed on the options offered (i'm one of those annoying people who likes to ask waiters for their recs). But this can def change with time. The complimentary jasmine tea and orange slices at the beginning and end of the meal made my heart happy.

On a recent visit to Philly I stopped at Su Xing House for a bite. The majority of the menu is vegan yet some dishes contain egg and the ones that contain egg are clearly marked. The menu is super extensive. Su Xing House is literally a house of plant strong delights including: 18 appetizers 9 soups 13 noodle and rice dishes 20 kinds of veggie dishes Tofu done 32 different ways 30 Chef Specialties on offer 23 beverages to stay hydrated when Philly was in a heat wave 5 new dishes including Vegan Calamari, Vegan Squid, and Mongolian tofu to name a few 3 desserts 38 mains to choose from for the lunch combo Pro tip: Check out that lunch combo M-F from 11am to 3pm. The lunch combo comes with a choice between 38 main entree dishes, rice, and two sides. Upon my server's suggestion I ended up getting the Eggplant with Tofu in Garlic Sauce with a side of brown rice, braised mushrooms, and a spring roll with dipping sauce. It was quite good. It was tasty and served piping hot yet found the dish to be quite saucy so if I returned I would request to go light on the sauce yet probably wouldn't order the same dish despite it being good since there are 37 more options to choose from on the lunch combo menu. My yoga teacher in India said the problem in the West is too much choice. This is true. Even though I was dining in the West in the historic city of Philadelphia at an Eastern restaurant aka Chinese Buddhist Vegetarian cuisine leaning heavily on the vegan side. All in all a solid choice. Check them out to enjoy some nice plant based Chinese cuisine yet you might end up like me having to decide between too many choices to choose from.

I cant beleive I've lived in Philly for 6 years and havent written a review for this place yet. First of all, its delicious. Vegan shrimp, vegan beef, etc. Imagine going to a regular Chinese restaurant and ordering whatever you want off the menu. Big portions, affordable and everything is fresh.

Fantastic vegetarian Chinese place. They make the dishes so delicious and authentic that you most likely would not be able to notice it's vegetarian. The dan dan noodles were really rich in flavor and quite spicy. Our favorite dish was the eggplant tofu, the garlic sauce was delicious and went perfect over rice. Definitely check out this place if you're in the area!

Absolutely amazing vegan Chinese food can be found here. Everything I had with my friend was absolutely delicious. She knows way more about Chinese food than even me and she was impressed as well. Service was really fast. The menu had a lot of authentic and delicious items and I left feeling full, but not filled with a ton of oil in my guts. nice interior, very authentic, well lit, and easy to access as well. I'm definitely be back!

Su Xing House is an outstanding Chinese vegetarian restaurant. Their dining room is classy, paneled with Chinese prints, and handled our large party without issue. Regardless of your party size, be patient, as their kitchen isn't the fastest. Their hot and sour soup is a stand out, with a healthy kick. Last I was here, I had their Ebony & Ivory, a very mushroom-y dish. If you like shrooms (heh), you'll be good to go here. I've been back many many times since I first came here in 2008. I've also ordered takeout - they have lunch specials - and am typically satisfied. Credit accepted.

I am a sucker for vegetarian Chinese food. They always make up the lack of meat with amazing sauces. I absolutely love seitan, gluten, mushrooms, and tofu so this is like heaven for me. I ordered a delivery from this place and this is what I got: 1. Three kind mushroom & Black moss fungus soup 2. Veggie heaven 3. Assorted vegetables Chen-Tu-Style Everything is delicious and I was very satisfied. If you're vegetarian or vegan, don't miss out on this place!

Pretty great vegetarian restaurant. Would go back and try other items. The space itself is small

Had dinner here on a Monday - I liked the food and would come back, but wish I could give Su Xing 3.5 stars instead. The extra half star is for being an all-vegetarian restaurant which are very hard to find and I love supporting them. The food was good but there were some misses. In order of top choices: 1) Sesame Seitan - this was delicious, the sauce was very flavorful, and I liked the chewy texture of the seitan. I would get this again! Could have used more spice. 2) Cream Cheese Wontons - can't go wrong with fried cheese, but I wish the filling had more punchy flavor rather than just creamy melty cheese. 3) Potato Croquettes - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, served super hot. Enjoyed these but again wish there was more FLAVOR. 4) Pan Fried Dumplings - these were fine and reminded me of something my childhood Chinese friend used to make. Pretty standard 5) Spring Rolls - not bad but the filling lacked a bit of substance and flavor. 6) Scallion Pancakes - would not get these again. Verrry tough to chew, not flaky at ALL, and had 0 actual scallion flavor. Love the complimentary jasmine tea that the server keeps refilling throughout the meal. Ambiance was nice and service was pretty standard / unfussy, but wish the food had more flavor. I was craving more spice and flavor! We liked Nom Wah's version of some of these dishes more! I'll be back to try some other dishes just because I appreciate the plethora of vegetarian options. Lunch combo also sounded like a great deal.
