I’m always raving about Susu and introducing new people here because for me, this is one of those “no-fail” restaurant choices. The decor is stunning, the food is authentic and the drinks are delicious. And now, I have discovered a new reason to love Susu even more: Susu’s Banana & Prawn Fried Spring Roll
In all my dining trips to Susu, I had always ordered from the fresh spring roll menu options and had never even given a glance to their fried spring rolls. Silly me because this is about one of the best dishes on their entire menu. People go ga-ga for their La Vong Fish dish (their restaurant speciality) and their rich salad selection, but somehow a few other noteworthy dishes have been previously overlooked and I now feel an obligation to my fellow foodies to shed light on my new discoveries.
Susu’s Banana & Prawn Fried Spring Roll (48) is the perfect balance of crunchy and gooey texture and sweet and savory flavors
Another noteworthy dish is their Tamarind Crab (RMB 168) which is bursting with tangy flavors and although it’s messy and not the easiest thing to eat, the succulent crab meat is delicious once you’re able to crack/bite your way through it’s tough shells.
Susu has some great vegetarian options including a couple excellent tofu dishes. I had previously tried their stinky tofu dish (which is also delish), but I was happy to discover their Tofu Flower dish (RMB 48), which is a simple but mouthwatering dish of silky tofu encased in a crispy exterior and served with sweet and sour fish sauce.

Tonight (Friday, September 30), Susu is hosting a great happy hour featuring new craft beers from 5:00-7:00PM.
“Enjoy authentic American style craft beer made in Beijing together with Susu’s spring rolls and shrimp toast or other Vietnamese fare. We’ll keep pouring that night till the tap runs dry.” – Susu Team
