Sui Yep Cafe

10/10! This is my goto meal and it is amazing every time! The owner/chef is phenomenal! He gives nice portion sizes and is very welcoming! That's my guy! The restaurant is simple, clean, welcoming. They have dining area and waiting area. Also the little almond cookies at the front are really good too! Love this place. Best Chinese food!

Best Chinese food I have gotten so far in the 8 years I have lived in Saint Paul/Minneapolis! Always hot and fresh! The chicken is fresh and the beef! Mongolian beef and general tso's chicken are my favorites! Classic egg roll! Chicken is tender and not chewy like other Chinese takeout! Give them a try and I promise you will not regret it!

Sui Yep is the best chinese food in the twin cities. I'm not sure what more I can say than that, but I'll tell you about some of their wonderful dishes. Golden Favorite Eggplant. Breaded eggplant topped with a salty/spicy onion topping. I don't even like eggplant, and this is one of my favorite things in the world. I've never had anything like it. The only problem is that you can't get it to go; it just isn't the same. So definitely wait until you can eat in again, and go get some. It just might be the first place I go when restaurants open for dining again! Salt and pepper tofu. This is a more common chinese dish, and one that I have had at several other restaurants. It's always good, to be fair, but it is the best at Sui Yep! Kung Pao Tofu. I mean, good luck even finding this one. You see it occasionally, but the kung pao tofu at Sui Yep is very delicious. They have a great sauce for it.Fried Rice. Okay, this is something you can get everywhere. But what you can't get everywhere is curry fried rice, at least not the way they make it here. It's hands-down my son's favorite dish. Like, anywhere. We all love it and usually order double so that we can have leftovers for a while, because it keeps really well. I can't wait to go back!

Excellent food and reasonable prices! Tonight was our first time trying Sui Yep, so we got a bunch of different menu items. It was all great, and the amounts of (perfectly cooked) shrimp in the shrimp and pea pods and of (wonderfully tender!) duck in the seven treasure shredded duck were very generous. Everything was super fresh, too.Their setup for picking up takeout is very safe, which I appreciate a great deal. This is a definite do-again for Friday-night takeout!

This is one of my favorites.The owners are super nice and we feel like family when we're there.What we like to order: fried rice (curry style is worth the upgrade), salt and pepper tofu, and golden favorite eggplant. The last one needs to be eaten on premises, since it doesn't travel well and even a few minutes makes a difference.A bit more about what I mentioned:The salt and pepper tofu and the golden favorite eggplant have one really good thing in common: fried onion bits, which are spicy, salty and delicious.The fried rice is good as is, by the way. But if you want more flavor and spice, get it curry style.Move on up on the East Side and go to Sui Yep Cafe! It's like a deluxe apartment in the sky, but for food instead. (At least that wasn't awkward. Oh wait, it was. Well, never mind this and go there right now.)

Sui Yep is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the twin cities! It is very low key and quiet, and the service is very friendly and kind. The prices are reasonable too! I love it!

I gave it 2 tries. In my quest to find a new favorite Chinese restaurant after mine closed, I came to Sui Yep. Twice. Should've just kicked myself in the nuts and called it good after the first try. My mom grew up on Payne Ave and would bring this home for us every once in a while. It was always good take out Chinese food. Not anymore. It was quite embarrassing really. I asked the lady taking orders what her favorites are, what she likes to eat here. Her response was to look at me, shake her head, and say she didn't really like anything. Huh, really? This appeared to be some sort of owner but I may be wrong. I guess I should have picked up and left but I plugged away and ordered.Lo mein, Kung Po Chicken, sesame chicken, won ton soup. These should be knocked out of the park for a typical Chinese take out spot. They weren't. The soup literally was water. I'm not kidding. It was a little bit yellow but tasted like water. Lo mein had that fake smoke flavor and was terrible and just mush. The Chicken in the Kung Po and Sesame was laughable and down right disgusting. Kung Po so unbelievably greasy. A bowl full of oil. Since the sign on the place says Chow Mein To Go, I thought I'd give it another try and go old school with some good old fashioned American Bastardized Chow Mein. Holy hell man, the worst I've ever had. Seriously. I ordered Beef Subgum. It was literally this gloppy mess of mushed celery paste with a few strips of grey colored Beef set on top. That's it. Wow. No flavor. Not even that salty MSG feeling that let's you know you're in an American Chinese shop. I will say that the crispy noodles were different and quite good. Appeared homemade but I might be wrong.My quest continues for a new favorite Chinese Restaurant, cause it sure as hell isn't here.

Sooo....I have loved Sui Yep since FOREVER!Tonight, I ordered online. Waited over an hour and tried to call the restaurant. Consistent busy signal. Then I had to call the company that handles their online orders, to cancel and get my money back. Who knows how long that will take??? Meanwhile.... We're STARVING!! NO GOOD!!

I ordered Kung Pao Chicken. All vegetables and sauce, like soup, but I only found two tiny pieces of chicken. Tasted old. Terrible disappointment. I suspected when the restaurant goes by three different names.

Ordered pickup from here, the food was hot and yummy. Very quick and easy process to order and get food.
