I thought it worth noting the following things:

1) I’ve never heard of *anyone* trying to cut a scallion pancake that comes pre-cut, like the ones at Su. If they are served whole, then they are sometimes left doughier to ease cutting, but if they are pre-cut that’s because they’re meant to be eaten as finger food. It should not at all count against Su that their pre-cut scallion pancakes are difficult to cut. Su would only be getting something wrong if the pancakes are difficult to pick up or chew, neither of which was a problem for me.

2) My father (a meat-eater) ordered the Stir Fried Whole Wheat Seitan and absolutely loved it. He claimed he liked it better than most similar meat dishes and raved about it to neighbors for weeks, suggesting they head to Su and try it. I tried some and agreed it was very tasty. I, in fact, was not so thrilled with my main course, but I found it surprising that the reviewer took issue with this one.

3) I am always suspicious of reviews that complain about both the service and the food. Often we let poor service taint our appreciation of the meal, and I suspect that this was going on a bit with the reviewer’s experience. It’s rare to find a meal without any flaws, and you can be sure we’ll find them and complain about them when we’ve grown impatient waiting for the food.

All in all, I think anyone who reads this review should take it with a large grain of salt and consider trying out Su for themselves. Besides, if you’re a vegan, you don’t have too many more choices. You might as well cross your fingers and hope this place is acceptable (or, as I found it, delightful).
