Nice place! - Edit
Cool place, even if pretty hidden. To enter, go from the main street (not from behind as my map app told me) to the 2nd floor through an unobtrusive entrance (not through a shop as another comment indicates, at least I hadn't seen one). I went there in Sunday, it just opened at 5pm.
Read moreThe place is very authentic, the staff is friendly and welcoming. Full menu in english and a picture for every dish. Easy to choose, even if staff doesn't speak English! It was super tasty, I would go here again!
Pros: English menu, Taste, Friendly

Definitely worth a visit - Edit
As far as a vegan restaurant in China goes this is a great experience. Nice decor too not just a rushed buffet atmosphere. Try the peanut chicken!

Very friendly staff, decent food - Edit
I went on a Thursday night, just after six, and the place was quiet initially but gradually filled during my time there. Very detailed menu, with pictures and English, and the staff immensely helpful when it came to making suggestions. Very friendly, some conversation. They also gave me a couple of free oranges when I left, which was nice of them.
Read moreThe food was a little bland, but there was plenty to choose from - mock meats for fish, pork, chicken, etc. Definitely not short on choices. Beer available, but all non-alcoholic. Good selection of juices and tea also.
Located on the second floor, easy to find, location accurate.
Pros: Lots of options, Very friendly staff, Nice ambience / location
Cons: Food only slightly bland

A wonderful surprise at the top of the stairs - Edit
SO so delicious. The chef has outdone himself with his sauces. So many wonderful options we may come back again tomorrow night. Love seeing so many chinese people eating in a restaurant that does not serve meat, so encouraging.
Read morePros: Vegan (and vegetarian ), Absolutely delicious, Great use of vegan “meats”
Cons: No alcohol , No street presence

Excellent freshly cooked food - Edit
Visited during a busy Sunday lunchtime. There was a huge selection of food and it is nicely labelled what is vegan/veggie. Food all tasted excellent and staff were brilliant. Only let down was the speed but I think it was freshly cooked to order.
Read morePros: Lots of options, Vegan dishes, Great service
Cons: Serves milk/cheese/eggs etc, A little bit slow

I’ve been here twice since traveling to Suzhou. They have a large variety of mock meat and vegetable dishes. They also have a German beer that is actually pretty good. The small shop offers some dried veggies.

Excellent veggie restaurant with plenty of vegan options. - Edit
I’ve eaten there about a dozen times, and never been disappointed. They have a really good-looking menu, with photos - and accurate English names. (Not what you always get in China!). The restaurant is on the second floor. Below it (the entrance to the restaurant) they sell some interesting healthy products, such as fruit vinegars, and some books.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan products, Nice, accurate menu., Polite and helpful staff (one speaks English)
Cons: None

great place - Edit
Really good food with lovely staff that could speak English (so rare in china) restaurant was nice inside although sadly we were the only people there. Menu was in English with a photo for every dish. Reasonably priced food arrived really quickly and everything we ordered tasted great! Highly recommend it!

Prima eten - Edit
Goed te vinden, op de eerste verdieping boven een klein winkeltje met wat bio producten. Twee van de vier gerechten die we aten waren heerlijk, de andere twee waren ok. Jammer dat het personeel kil en afstandelijk was toen wij er waren. Ze spraken wel goed Engels.
Read morePros: menu met plaatjes en Engelse omschrijving , goed te vinden
Cons: sfeer is kil, bediening is niet erg vriendelijk.

Delicious ! - Edit
Very good food and helpfull wait staff. If vegan, check with them while ordering if the dish you chose has in fact no eggs nor dairy, because some of the dishes with "vegan" in the name are not... And some of the dishes taggeg "veggie" are vegan ! One of the waitresses speeks good english.

The best vegan fish in China - Edit
I was there in June 2015. This is the best place with vegan options in whole China!) Vegan fish is awesome and stuff is friendly. My non-vegan friends liked it also. If you are in Sūzhōu you definitely should visit this restaurant)

Spacious and free wi-fi - Edit
Been there in Feb. 2014.
Read moreAll items in the menu have English translation.
However, there is no information regarding use of dairy, eggs or honey.
Staff speaks very very little English (at least the staff that was there when I visited), so it was hard to order vegan food.
At the end, after I used a translator to say things like "I don't eat milk", or "I don't eat eggs", I was led to believe that they actually don't use dairy nor eggs in the food.
But I am not sure, so if someone speaks Chinese, it would be great to confirm.
Taste of food was good, and portions were not large, but they were more than enough even if you order just one meal.
There is a shop on the 1st floor, but it has very few things.
It's close to the "Master of the Nets Garden", so I would recommend to go there before/after your meal for a nice stroll.
Finally, when going there you can tell to the cab to take you to the Nanlin Hotel. It's very close.
Pros: spacious, free wi-fi, good value
Cons: not clear what is vegan

Vegetarian story - Edit
We discovered this restaurant through the Happycow's website and were really happy to find vegetarian restaurants here in china. Vegetarian Story Restaurant proposes a large choice of dishes, even more dishes on the chinese menu. All the plates are vegetarian. We tried the dumplings (home made, different tastes, 9 dumplings in one plate) delicious and the fried noodles - very tasty - the waitress is speaking english and can help you to make your choice. The prices are affordable and correct (30/40 yuans per dish) A good address.

German malt beer meets Chinese dumplings - Edit
The restaurant is easy to find. Bus No 202 e.g. is just a few meters away.
Read moreThe restaurant is on the 2nd floor. On the 1st floor is a tiny veggie-shop.
The menu card is in Chinese and English and the menu itself offers many different styles (Chinese, Japanese, western, mock meat, vegetables, spicy).
Some very special vegetables like Okra, or some kind of green roots are also on the menu (but as part of a dish).
The traditional Chinese soup with goji berries is very delicious.
I missed a menu for drinks. So to me it seems like this restaurant only offers black tea (hong cha) and German Karlsberger malt beer - weird, but not bad.
Thanks to the calm music the atmosphere is really nice.
Even though it's a vegetarian restaurant, it only had vegan dishes (at least I didn't see any dish having milk or egg).
In total some dishes don't taste very special, some are quite good. The prices are okay, not too expensive. The English menu has some mistakes but you can still understand what it says.
So it's a good and solid restaurant.
Pros: special vegetables
Cons: only black tea and malt beer
