Went to location today and found a new sign "Two Little Girls". No longer a Veggie cafe. Not sure what the future of the location will be.

charming. delicious - Edit
You'd be hard pressed to find a more gracious host than the couple running this restaurant. The food is awesome - try the vegan fish in brown sauce and the double cooked pork. Great prices and huge portions. A winner. Just ignore the dreary cafeteria like decor.

even my omni boyfriend loved it!!! - Edit
I would always skip this place and go to veggie garden down the road but boy was I wrong! This place is great and cheap. Me and my boyfriend are in college so finding cheap places is such a great find. The sesame "chicken" is da bomb.

Delicious - Edit
Yummy! I work down the road from Suma's Veggie Cafe. I invited a large group of co-workers to eat lunch here. They loved the vegan Chinese and said they did not miss the meat. The food is delicious, and heavily soy based, like all vegan Chinese. (I am allergic to soy. I don't eat the buffet. I have to order steamed vegetables and rice.)

Pros: vegan, friendly staff, delicious food
Cons: heavy soy

Delicious! - Edit
I ate here with my husband. We met the elderly and super friendly Taiwanese owners. The owners drive a car with a bumper sticker that advertises their vegan lifestyle. The restaurant serves all vegan food.
Read moreThe Mrs. recommended we try the mock fish, moc ma-po-tofu, and moc orange chicken. My husband loved all three dishes. We had lots of left overs.
I ate rice and soy-free steamed vegetables. They were very tasty. My husband has been back several times.
Pros: friendly staff, vegan, inexpensive
Cons: too much soy "meat"

Yummy - Edit
I went out with a large group of friends recently. They raved about how much they loved the vegan food. The owners are a cute, polite, elderly Taiwanese couple. They were very kind to us. The restaurant specializes in soy-mock meats. This is not the place to go if you are gluten-intolerant or if you have a soy allergy.
Read morePros: vegan, friendly staff, good date night place
Cons: not gluten-free, soy-allergy alert, peanut-allergy alert

Vegan - Edit
I like Suma Veggie, I have only eaten there for around 2 years. When I first went I was told that the curry typically served on the buffet had cow's milk. I asked because - I always ask. At the time I never read anything to indicate that all food was vegan - only no meat. Milk is not meat (but you know this) At any rate, the spiritual leader for the owners, also called the supreme master has changed her guidance and no animal products can be eaten any more. The rule has always been no animal products but milk, and now no milk either. All items are now vegan, even items not marked vegan on the menu. Regarding the personality of the owners - mostly it is a language barrier, but I think it is amusing to listen to Philip ask people "What you want" , "Sit there", "No you can't sit there" and now "Vegan - it all vegan"

Great Food; Interesting Experience - Edit
Of course the food is great! I have been numerous times and always enjoy it. The tea is to die for! Not sure why, it just make my tummy happy. I have taken many non-vegans there and they always love it. As for the owner, he is a character! In fact, he is the reason I keep going back. I love characters and enjoy different people. He has been nothing but nice and I miss him if he isn't there.
Read morePros: Tasty, Inexpensive, Experience
Cons: Off the Beaten Path, Parking is Tough at Times

yummmy chinese food. - Edit
This has got to be the best chinese food I've ever eaten. vegetarian or not, the food is absolutely magnificent. If you dine in on a weekday from 11am-2pm you can get a fantastic buffet for the low price of $6.80. Just make sure you dont go between 2pm-5pm or you will be rather disappointed to learn that they are closed at that time. (of corse they re-open at 5pm until 9pm. Suma vege has nice owners that enjoy talking. Also, they sell meat substitutes... just ask.
Read morePros: excellent food, healthy
Cons: small eating area, no takeout menus, is noisy during buffet time

Suma's Veggie Cafe - Edit
I love Suma's food!!! But the owner is quite rude...most of the time. Some days he is really happy and welcoming, but most of the time he is just mean! I have eaten at Suma almost weekly for about two+ years, and in that time, I have been kicked out (the owner decided we were ready to stop eating from the buffet and let someone else have the table), I have been TOLD to share a small table with two complete strangers (not a big deal, but I would rather have been ASKED to do so), and have been publicly scolded for taking a large table for few people (some of the company we were expecting never showed up). It was at that point that I decided never to go back to Suma. However, that only lasted three weeks before I was craving their food again! I wanted so badly to stick to my guns, but their food is just too good! So now I go to Suma knowing there is a great chance the owner will be unfriendly to me and my company, but I guess I'll just have to deal with it if I want to enjoy the best vegan meal in town.
