Cozy vegan restaurant that also offers all vegan buffet. The food is very good. I don't usually clear every plate at a buffet, but here I do.

I'm grateful to have a Chinese food buffet in Chester County AND it's vegan is an awesome bonus. I do wish the buffet wasn't so expensive though. But the food is tasty, there are plenty of options which is great for trying out different things. Their pepper "steak" is uncanny. I can't believe it's not real meat. I've been here with non-vegans and they've enjoyed the food too.

The best vegan experience ever!

For all my fellow vegetarians and vegans out there, this place is a wonderful vegan restaurant offering an authentic Chinese food experience! Excellent service and a ton of dishes to choose from on the menu!

Walking in, I thought SuTao was a little small, but they pack a lot into a small package. Two rows of food, trays on both sides, offer a myriad of Chinese favorites. With every buffet, there is a wide variety of quality. The greatest offerings are shrimp toast, chicken fried balls, and purple rice. All the Asian staples are good (white rice, steamed dumplings, lo mein). Some dishes are a little repetitive using the same vegan meat in different sauces. I love trying food, and buffets give me that opportunity. Dessert is sparse, offering less than a handful of finger foods like coconut cookie straws. We were met politely at the door and the service is warm and attentive. A few changes would upgrade Sutao. The price is a little high but vegan Chinese buffets are rare.Not all the food was warm. Some covers might fix that. Overall, it's a rare experience and highly recommend it.

I paid nearly $30 for the buffet and a lukewarm Jasmine tea. Many buffet items had either run out or were nearly empty. I tried several of the dishes that were available but they were barely warm and tasted like they had been sitting for some time. Twice during my visit, one of the staff members fell asleep and began snoring while sitting at the register. In the restroom, I noticed the soap was heavily diluted with water. Had I seen this before I ate, I would have immediately left since this is an issue of food safety. It is disturbing to realize that kitchen staff used the restroom, didn't wash their hands properly and then handled food. There is NO excuse for not having soap in the restroom. Other reviews on here note that this restaurant has been regularly out of compliance for food safety and judging by the watered-down restroom soap, I guess I should consider myself lucky that I didn't get Norovirus. I agree with another reviewer that Sutao would have to make serious improvements (starting with their sanitation) for me to consider visiting again. Updated from previous review on 2025-01-03

I ate double what I normally eat for dinner, but still felt like the buffet wasn't worth the cost.

Can’t believe how many menu options they have! Will definitely be back to try more. The 3 items I had were all delicious!

This place is a pleasant surprise. It is a small "mom and pop" Chinese restaurant, located in an older strip mall, right next to an arcade. This is not where we expected to find an all-vegan restaurant, with a health conscious message. The food was great and the staff were friendly. We had hot and sour soup, general tso's chicken, shrimp toast, and the stir fry vegetable wrap. The wrap was the biggest surprise and we would highly suggest it. Additionally, the prices are very reasonable.
