Really tasty, pretty fancy vegan asian restaurant in the East Village. They have cool mock meats and also plenty of traditional asian choices as well as dumplings and dim sum. I was especially intrigued by and enjoyed eating the "pork belly". Unlike most mock meats that have only one predominant texture this one has a seitan-y portion and a chewy "fatty" portion. Vegan scallops were delicious, it's evident they know their way around "seafood". read more

During Covid-19 I ordered from here a lot. I've never been dissatisfied I like all the dishes that I've tried here. The shrimp dumplings were just ok, I won't order them again. So, like I mentioned I was ordering door dash from here and also I've picked up food also from the door, I've had my first experience of eating inside receyits very cute inside. My servers name was Jackie he said like Jackie Chan lol he was very nice with a warm smile and also very helpful with my selections. Like I said everything that I've ordered here as far as entrees are so good.th try them out you will definitely be running back for more!! Yummy read more

SO good! This is a vegetarian's paradise. The menu is massive and so many great choices. And it's super affordable!! They have a large selection of apps/dim sum, entrees, and desserts. Highlights from our meal included the eggplant and tofu with garlic (huge portion), taro dumplings, and our grand finale Bombo Dream (peanut butter ice cream ball dipped in chocolate and served with chocolate sauce). BYOB without a corking fee. Bonus that hot tea is only $1 per person with your meal. The service was excellent; servers were very attentive and polite. Even though it was busy, they regularly checked in and were very friendly. The restaurant is a good size with plenty of seating. Its clean and not too loud; You could easily carry on a conversation. We visited on Valentine's Day (Tuesday) evening and there was no wait. Can't wait to come back here and try all of the other menu items that looked good (all of them!). This will definitely be a mainstay for me. read more

Cute little place with great food! Sweet phoenix buns are MONEY!! Server was so knowledgeable and helpful and friendly!

Unit Su Vege is an vegetarian Chinese/dim sum restaurant in a little strip mall just north of Rittenhouse Square. My boyfriend and I headed over shortly after checking into our hotel for dinner. We got the BBQ Seitan on a Stick, Fried Tofu with Cashew Nuts (an appetizer), General Tso's Seitan, and Sizzling Tofu. Although it's not all vegan, most items are vegan and clearly marked. The seitan on a stick had an excellent texture, but the sauce was more like a gravy than a BBQ. The nutty cashew tofu was also very good. I had to ask that they not make the sizzling tofu spicy, so if you're a wimp like I am, perhaps find another dish. My boyfriend's General Tso's Seitan was very good, not spicy, but tangy. There are so many dishes that looked good, it was really hard to choose. I'll definitely come back to eat here the next time I'm in Philly. read more

I ate here in 2019 and still dream about this meal. I am vegetarian, used to live in China, and have traveled a lot in the US. This is the best vegetarian Chinese food I've had - even better than some of the food I had when I lived in China. read more

I was completely zeroed out at the end of a day trip from NYC and this place was a godsend. I expected to wait a bit for my order, but no it was ready right when I got in. If I'd known it was so cozy I would have ordered to eat in! I ordered a pinneapple mango shake but I think I got a lychee coconut instead? It was so good though and the fruit tasted fresh. The rest of my order was pretty standard fusion cheat-day vegetarian. Definitely not health food but I liked that it was whole ingredients at least. read more

Delicious, quick service, great choices for Vegan's. I wish a little time was spaced between appetizers & main courses. read more

Vegan dim sum! What an interesting concept. It was really good to be honest. It tasted just like meat. The Roasted Vegetable Duck Peking Style tasted just like the duck I get in Chinatown read more

This is the place I go for the food. The ambience is lovely, but nothing special. The service is good. If salt is an issue, this might not be a place you want to eat, a lot of Asian dishes. But I loved all the food, especially the ribs - all vegan. I have eaten there on several occasions. Close to Whole Foods, so I eat there prior to shopping. read more

This place is solid! We enjoyed everything we ate and will certainly be back. This is definitely one of those restaurants that we need more of in Philly. Just amazing, good veg food read more

Hmm... #1 tip is to order the mock peking duck dish. It's delicious and is as close as you can get to the real deal. It's hard to find decent vegetarian and or vegan places. Some things you can't replace or replicate. Sometimes I just want straight up stir fry vegetables with garlic. For a vegetarian restaurant is it not bad but as a restaurant overall, it could use some improvement. Like the hot and sour soup could be more sour and spicier. And please don't chop up the Chinese broccoli into bite sizes. Leave it whole. It's not baby food. Overall, the restaurant is okay. Food is a hit or a miss. Service is okay. I've been here more than a few times with friends and family who don't eat meat. And also had taken out their #1 dish. I'm not impressed. read more

Stopped in for lunch, food and service was fantastic. Fresh vegetables and nicely cooked tofu. Lunch specials come with soup and rice. Iced coffee was delicious too! Dining room was clean and comfortable. read more

Tried as many items on the menu as we could and everything was great! I loved the variety of vegetarian dishes and how they brought authenticity to the dishes as well. The service was great and the ambience inside is nice as well. read more

It's honestly great to have more vegetarian/vegan restaurants in Philly! There were a lot of food options on the menu and they also had several fresh juice options as well. They did mess up some of our orders but the food we received was still pretty good! I think it's definitely worth the visit. read more

A colleague and i had lunch here. It was delicious! She had the soup dumplings (not very broth but good she said) and i had the lunch kung pao tofu, which was excellent. I'm gluten free so they were glad to pack up the spring roll and soup for me to take home to my family. read more

Took me a while to find a true Vegetarian Chinese restaurant after my favorite one closed down 2 yrs ago. They have decent prices and portion sizes. Their noodles honestly can serve 2 and all of their appetizers are, well, quite appetizing. I recommend picking 3 appetizers instead of just 1 entree. Be prepared to wait upto an hour for your food to be ready, but it's worth it. The workers are also very nice and accommodating. read more

Fantastic seitan duck! Time after time they're turning out the best vegetarian Chinese in the city

I think about the squishy veg roast pork buns like 3 times a week on average. Insanely great pricing, highhhhhllyy recommend if you are vegetarian! read more

One of my favorite restaurants in the area ! Everything is high quality and delicious. So many good vegan options and very well marked menu. I've brought a handful of non-veg/vegan who all loved it as well. I now take out from here regularly ever since I moved even closer to it read more

The space is simple, but the food is amazing. For a vegetarian that loves Chinese food, this place is absolutely perfect. The ginger fruit tea was unexpected and absolutely delicious. Plus they serve dim sum every day. The service was kind and attentive. Will definitely return. read more

This place was great! We made a reservation for a Sunday night, but it wasn't too crowded. Everything on the menu is vegetarian, and there are vegan options too. Despite not being a vegetarian myself, I really enjoyed the food. The dim sum options are great, and the pan fried vegetable buns were one of my favorites. Service was pleasant and pretty fast. I would definitely come back here again. read more

The ambiance was nice and the service was good. However, the items we ordered were quite mediocre. After having read good reviews of the peking duck, my friend ordered this item. She had had vegetarian versions of this before but felt this version was not very tasty and the portion was quite small. I ordered the sesame seitan. Although it was tasty, it was extremely tough! I am so glad there is a kosher vegetarian restaurant in this neighborhood so please improve your food. read more

This is my favorite vegetarian restaurant! They have so many options and they never disappoint in quality or in price. It's always really good and super fresh, I never leave here feeling heavy like I do after eating at othet Chinese restaurants. I have a garlic intolerance, and every time they're very careful about not putting garlic in my dish, and the owner even spoke to me personally about it which was so nice. you can see on the receipt every time that it will say "no garlic", so I know that they are tracking the order very carefully when you do a call in for takeout. The restaurant itself is cute and in a good location. read more

What a find. I have not reviewed even though I have been coming since before the Pandemic. Awesome Chinese Taiwan style food with delicious dim sum. There are at least 25-30 variety of dim sum and one is spoilt. The noodle and clay pot dishes were so delicious and reminded me of our time in Taiwan and Hong Kong. The service staf me is always so helpful. Today we had Morí Tofuu....8/10 Shu Mai 7/10 Clay pot Bean Curd Deluxe 8/10 Peking Noodles 9/10 Peanut Cold Noodles 9/10 We live it and come here at least every other week from 20 miles away. Best Vegan Vege Rest in the area read more

Excellent food. It was nice to have options and taste the vegetarian version of favorite Asian dishes.

Pretty decent vegetarian food. We came and ordered some steamed taro dumplings, the "shrimp" walnut mayo, and braised tofu curd. The shrimp was amazingly shrimp like - I was convinced it was made from imitation crab but the waitress informed me it was a gluten/flour mimic! The tea was a bit on the weaker side so one star off. Otherwise really solid for veggie eating. read more

Interesting menu but the sauces were sometimes dull. Definitely worth a try. And the smoothie I tried was great.

We came here as a group to order a lot of dishes so that we could sample a lot of the dishes on the menu and I have to say that the food just wasn't that good. I honestly think that if you want dim sum you should actually go to a dim sum place in Chinatown the soup dumplings skin was way too thick. If you're used to eating dim sum and you come here and try their dim sum you will notice the difference in the texture and just the overall taste and I just don't think it's really worth eating. If I could give this place 2 1/2 stars for taste I would it's really not that great. read more

My partner and I stopped into Unit Su for the first time today. We stopped at the bank across the street and decided to get food. We walked by the window and noticed that it was all-vegetarian. I've been a vegetarian for 9 years so it was an automatic "yes" from me. We ordered pan seared dumplings, seitan skewers with BBQ, and split the Veg Duck with buns entree. EVERYTHING HIT!!! Best Chinese food I've had in my entire life. Even my jasmine tea was a cut above any competition!! My partner isn't vegetarian and 100% agreed that this is one of the best spots in Philly. It's vibey, clean, reasonably priced, and our service was incredible!! My only complaint is not knowing to come here sooner!! We're definitely coming back!!! read more

Food is delicious and service is great. They are very willing to accommodate personal requests.

Now that my favorite New Harmony is closed, I've been in the market for a vegetarian Chinese spot in Philly. I stopped by Unit Su Vege to get some takeout after visiting the nearby Rodin Museum. After placing my order at the front, I sat down at an empty table to wait for my food to be prepared. The space is incredibly clean and nicely decorated. My food only took about 10 minutes to prepare. I ordered the Sesame Seitan (soy bean protein with a sweet sour brown sauce and sesame seed). It was a large portion size - enough to last 2+ meals. It was super delicious, but I do wish the pieces had been slightly smaller (to make it easier to eat without a knife, and for a higher sesame-to-seitan ratio). I can't wait to come back and try some of their other delicious-looking dishes soon! read more

Why do I always find these amazing restaurants in faraway cities? Fantastic meal here. I wouldn't shut up about how much I loved the menu and the food. Sorry Mom and Dad (although they really liked it too). MENU: Spectacular. So many great vegan options. Tons of dim sum and all sorts of awesome appetizer and entrée dishes. They also had all kinds of smoothies and juices and teas. FOOD: So good! I tried (all vegan): hot and sour soup, BBQ pork, fried scallops, vegetable dumplings, shrimp dumplings, meat dumplings, spring roll, and string beans. Everything was absolutely delicious (excellent flavor and texture). PRICES: Very affordable. Dim sum is a great way to try multiple dishes without spending a lot. They also have lunch specials. SERVICE: Very friendly and efficient. SPACE: Nothing fancy but cozy and easy on the eyes. I loved this restaurant so much and would recommend it wholeheartedly! read more

Unit Su is my favorite restaurant I try to go once or more a week. Friendly staff, great ambiance, fresh ingredients and so many options for vegans. I'm on a project to try everything on the menu and so far there no misses. read more

It's a travesty I don't live in Philly because this place is a gem!! We love dim sum, we love vegan food. But we've rarely come across the combo that the two cross so beautifully. Everything we got here was 10/10 but our absolute favorites were the vegetable shumai & the shrimp dumplings. Pair these with their magical chili sauce (pictured) and you have the perfect weekend dimsum brunch. read more

We came here on a Wednesday evening and the restaurant only had about 3-4 tables filled. There was only one waitress serving the whole restaurant. The majority of the menu is vegan and some are vegetarian. Luckily, the menu is clearly marked. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and 1 entree. We ordered the veg pork buns, soup dumplings, veg shrimp dumplings, steamed taro dumplings, pumpkin tarts, scallion pancakes, and bean sprouts dumplings. We ordered the Ebony & Ivory as our entree. The appetizers were okay in my opinion. The scallion pancakes were my favorite, they were crispy and salty. All of the dumplings either lacked in flavor or had a strange taste. I didn't like the pumpkin tart because they were immensely fried and lacked in filling. The Ebony and Ivory entree was pretty good but simple. It was shiitake & enoki mushrooms with celery and bok choi. It was served with brown rice. It was basically just vegetables in a light sauce but I could appreciate it. We came here because New Harmony is was closed for the day but honestly I would prefer New Harmony... read more

This new vegan and vegetarian Chinese and dim sum spot in The Art Museum area should definitely not be overlooked by the meat-eating community, as everything was delicious and so intriguing! We ordered- - soup dumplings which were filled with broth and piping hot. - "Shrimp" veggie dumplings which imitated the seafood spot on, even down to the texture and color! - General Tsos tofu, which was tangy and flavorful. It was a smidge on the sweet side but offered a decent kick and was accompanied with a nice amount of steamed broccoli and rice of choice. -hot and sour soup, which is up there with my top bowl of all times! It had a nice bite, crunchy bamboo shoots and packed a killer kick! YUM!! - a peanut-butter bomba for dessert. Creamy PB ice cream in a chocolate shell with drizzle. Well loved by all. The menu was super extensive and included an awesome variety of fresh fruit smoothies, vegan milkshakes and juices! Based on the deliciousness and welcoming, quick service during our first visit, I very much look forward to tasting everything they offer and heading back here pretty often! It's BYO! There's kiosk meter parking. read more
