After a short lovely drive up River Rd with wonderful views of New York City, you will find this amazing zen-like restaurant. Don’t let the strip mall location scare you off. Inside you will find an oasis of unbelievable vegan and vegetarian food. This is our all time new favorite veggie restaurant and we tend to think we are veggie connoisseurs. We are the type who will travel an hour or two(as we did for Su) to seek out the new places.
We went to Su for lunch and were able to take advantage of their lunch specials. Their lunch menu is Prix Fixe for $11.99 which included one appetizer or soup and one entrée. We started with the Orange Spiced House Guacamole served with taro chips which was probably the best guacamole we have ever tasted. It was sweet with a hint of spice, extremely fresh, chunky and the subtle citrus flavoring is unique. I would have been happy to order 5 more servings of this and just call it a day. We also had the Grilled Satay Soy Protein Nuggets. The name does not do it justice. These small chunks of mock chicken were delectable, with such a flavorful peanut sauce, it just left you wanting more. The only thing wrong with this dish is that they are gone too fast because you can’t stop eating them. Our main entrees were the Malaysian Curry Stew. This is a very brothy stew that just begs to have something to dip in it. Lucky you, this dish comes with homemade Roti bread which is light, yet oily, but it only makes it more delicious. So back to the curry, the flavors of the broth burst onto your tongue, I really can’t remember eating something this good. The stew consists of softened vegetables and soy nuggets. We really wanted to drink the left over broth and lick the bowl. We also had the Singapore Stir-Fried Rice Noodles with Smoked Soy Protein. This dish was delicious but fairly basic. A large portion of noodles and the soy was similar to veggie ribs in most Chinese styled vegetarian restaurants. Delicious but basic.

After our meal and our hour long drive to get there, we could only wonder how soon we could go back. Any road trip to NYC should include a stop here since it is so convenient to get to. There's also the NY Water Taxi's right along River Road so if you wanted to pop over to the city for awhile, it's a very quick, fun boat ride.
