Finally got to try this new restaurant in my neighborhood, I had heard it recently changed from Vegetarian/Vegan to 100% Vegan so I was extra excited about supporting a local vegan restaurant.
We ordered takeaway to bring over to a friends gathering and the host did an outstanding job on guiding me to the items that would travel the best. We ordered the Black Truffle Fried Rice, Dry Mushroom Fried String Beans, Black Pepper Sausage, Deep-Fried Mushrooms w/ Salt & Pepper, Dried Chili Beyond Chicken and a Stir-Fried Spicy & Sour Shredded Potato... It was ALL delicious, we loved everything we ordered. If I had to pick favorites I'd have to say the Truffle Fried Rice, Dry Mushroom Fried String Beans, Deep-Fried Mushrooms and the Dried Chili Beyond Chicken was a big hit too but you couldn't go wrong ordering any of the above! The vegan Orange Juice egg on the sausage dish was so unique!
We didn't take any photos because it wouldn't have done the food justice. Inside the restaurant looks beautiful, it's sure to be an elevated and serene dining experience, I look forward to eating in soon!

I don't usually opt for vegetarian but this place is my new favorite Chinese restaurant in New York. The dishes and drinks are super inventive, the plating is flawless. You can get all kinds of interesting combos of flavors here.

Had a wonderful Sat. evening at Pusu, where the staff was super friendly and attentive, the food was delicious, and the ambiance was lovely. My table enjoyed the Lavender Amethyst and Snow Fall cocktails, cucumber salad (heads up, it's spicy!), salt and pepper fried mushrooms, hot and sour soup, and the standout black truffle fried rice, among other delicacies. Our server was sweet and accommodating. I'll be back!

Total lack of respect for customers. Noisy like on the street.If I like to eat in a noisy environment, I will go to McDonald's, but we don't like to eat in a noisy environment.

As soon as I came in, I saw a restaurant employee fighting and scolding a Hispanic worker, thinking that the party would not be too quiet. Sure enough, I tasted the food in the dim light, and suddenly there were a few loud Spanish swear words to each other. What are you going to do? I'm in a bad mood! Are you crazy? So many people can also shout when they are present. Employees of this quality are also invited to come to work! There is no manager in this restaurant. Do not respect the dining environment of customers. If the scoring system is OK, I hope to give it a zero score.

Service was noteworthy due to it being terrible. Atmosphere and noise made it difficult to converse with you’re own party and food was not bad but not good for me to want to go back.

One of my favorite vegan places in the neighborhood. The desserts are great too. Looking forward to trying all the dishes on the menu.
Another Chinese vegetarian place in the City, oh well Brooklyn ;) Modern twist to the Chinese cuisine. Super easy to get a reservation and even if you walk-in last minute, I am sure you will get a table. We ordered a warm peach tea which was one of the best one I have ever had. It was not too sweet but as well had a fresh, subtle soothing flavor - amazing to have on a winter night. They have quite an extensive menu to choose from. We started off with fried lotus root in apps. It was crispy on the outside and paired pickled celery and soy sauce - liked this one. For the mains we ordered their famous pumpkin mapo tofu and mala dry pot. Pumpkin mapo tofu - it was delicious and comes with a bit of fire show. But I would still rate Spicy moon's better than this. Also the portion size was on the lesser side. You need to order rice on the side as well. Overall it is pricier. Mala dry pot - this was amazing - loved it! It is spicy, portion size is good enough and hit the spot. The ambiance is quite stylish, modern, warm and appealing.

As I stepped into Pusu, a vegetarian Chinese oasis nestled in the heart of Williamsburg, I was met with a warm greeting that set the stage for an extraordinary dining experience. The space itself exuded an inviting elegance, with stylish touches that beckoned guests to linger, especially in the captivating bar area. My journey began with a refreshing cocktail, the Don Fulano Blanco, Lychee li, Mangosteen, Lime, Club soda blend, priced at $16. It was a symphony of flavors that danced on the palate, preparing me for the culinary delights to come. And oh, did they come. The appetizer, a Broccoli medley with Garlic, Dried Onion, Green and Red Pepper, and Crispy Paste, priced at $14, was nothing short of irresistible. Each bite was a crunchy revelation, perfectly complemented by a salt dip that left me craving more. The presentation was top-notch, with attention to detail that elevated the experience to rival even the finest establishments in the city. Next up was the Mushroom and Tofu stew, a concoction of Shiitake Mushroom, Wood Ear, White Wood Ear, Shimeji Mushroom, King Oyster Mushroom, Tofu, and Mixed Vegetables, priced at $20. It was an elegant and cozy dish, satisfying in every sense of the word. However, one notable misstep occurred when the entree arrived before the appetizer--a minor hiccup in an otherwise flawless presentation. Initially, I found myself disappointed by the indifferent demeanor of our server, who seemed to overlook my needs. Yet, my disappointment was quickly assuaged when she unexpectedly brought me extra napkins without prompting--a small gesture that spoke volumes about the attention to detail at Pusu. Overall, Pusu impressed me on every level, from the exquisite flavors to the impeccable presentation. It's a sophisticated dining experience that rivals even the most celebrated establishments in the city. I cannot wait to return and indulge in the culinary delights that await at Pusu.

I have been searching for years for good vegan/vegetarian Chinese food. The sesame beyond chicken was sensational! The hot and sour soup was delicious as well. Can't wait to try the other items on the menu!

Absolutely best vegetarian food I've ever eaten. Excellent decor, service was attentive and welcoming, creative cocktails, fast and delicious food.This is a "run, don't walk" situation. Try it before everyone else finds out about it and it becomes overhyped and overwhelmed.Loved eating the crispy broccoli, tai chi soup, sesame beyond chicken and the mangosteen and espresso blueberry cocktails. The Lotus Root Starch & Sesame Riceball dessert was warm and low sweetness.
