Ci Su Vegetarian Bistro

Ci Su did NOT disappoint! I ordered the eggplant in XO sauce, Spicy Thai Style Fried Rice, the Buddha Bowl with tofu skin (spicy of course 😉), and the spicy wontons and every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The eggplant was tender and rich, the fried rice had the right amount of heat, and that Buddha Bowl? So satisfying without feeling heavy. And those spicy wontons were addictive! What I love most is that I left feeling nourished not bloated, not overly salty, just good. It’s rare to find plant-based food that tastes this good and still feels clean in your body. I truly enjoyed myself and will absolutely be back.

Second visit to this place and we intend to return, despite traveling 35+miles one way! Best option for Vegan and No Onion - No Garlic in the area. Thai, Malay, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean varieties on the menu. Friendly and fast service and accommodates special requests like no mushrooms or even specific spice preferences. Quite popular in the area.

Staff is very nice and friendly. Food is delicious. Love the curry noodles and the Singapore noodles. General tso’s chicken and pineapple fried rice are also delicious. Service is quick, they also have snacks like crackers and delicious jerky flavors.

Wonderful vegetarian offerings that are full of flavor. My favorite is the Curry Mee since the cook is from Malaysia, and it comes packed with gluten seafood balls and vegetables accompanied by handmade thick noodles. It makes you forget that it is vegetarian with the sumptuous slurps. The other dishes are equally tasty and skillfully made.

It’s rare to find fully vegan Chinese restaurants around DC, but this one is quite a good place. The service is excellent, the food is fresh, and the portions are generous. The curry dumplings and taro paste balls are tasty, though the sauces are pretty average. The mapo tofu lacked the signature numbing spice, and the Korean-style fried steak was too salty. The plating felt more like that of a fast-food place—resembling simple, home-style everyday dishes.
