Hidden Gem on the East Side: Sui Yep Cafe is a Must-Try
We finally tried Sui Yep Cafe on Payne Avenue after a friend recommended it and I’m so glad we did. This mom-and-pop Chinese restaurant is the definition of a hidden gem. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. It’s run by an older couple who clearly put their heart into every part of the experience.
We ordered:
Cream cheese wontons
Mongolian beef
Beef lo mein
Teriyaki chicken with vegetables and rice
The restaurant itself is small, clean, and charming. Yes, it has that old-school East Side vibe, but it’s spotless! From the dining area to the peek we got of the kitchen. Every utensil, surface, and station looked organized and well cared for. Despite it being just the two of them working, the food was ready in under 15 minutes.
Now the food:
Wow. We’ve eaten at plenty of other Chinese spots around town; usually at higher price points, but this was hands down some of the best Chinese food we’ve ever had. Every dish was made to order, fresh, and full of flavor. The Mongolian beef was a highlight tender, flavorful, and clearly made with quality meat, not the prepackaged stuff. The lo mein was perfect springy noodles, fresh-cut veggies, and the kind of wok-seared flavor that shows care and experience. Even the teriyaki chicken came packed with flavor and sat on a bed of perfectly cooked rice.
And the price? All of that for under $50. In 2025, that’s practically unheard of.
We left impressed, full, and already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for delicious, affordable, home-style Chinese food served by kind folks who take pride in their work! Sui Yep Cafe deserves your business. Highly recommeded!!!!

2026 updated review: It has been too long since I have had Sui Yep! I had to get dumplings for Lunar New Year! The ceiling is all decked out in red lanterns to celebrate! I also got my have to haves: beef and broccoli, cream cheese puffs, and house fried rice. I took a walk on the curious side today and went with the sweet and sour chicken, it was a fabulous choice! The dumplings were wonderful too, but the phone did not eat first! I ate two dumplings before I remembered to take a picture! This is so my comfort food! There is an updated menu since the last time I was in, I added photos of both sides.
2023 updated review: the inside is still not open for seating but calling ahead is usually super fast. Tonight we had cream cheese puffs, shrimp fried rice, general Tso’s chicken, and walnut shrimp. Consistency is seriously the best, I can always count on a good meal!
Original review: My go-to neighborhood chinese food spot! I will often get delivery because they tend to get quite busy and I don’t really like to wait for pick up as the time estimates can be delayed. My top favorites are the Walnut shrimp, cream cheese wontons, and house fried rice. Other things are great too!

Easy order at take out window. Friendly service. Fair prices. Boba Mango Tea – so delicious!! The food itself was bland. I would return for the Boba tea.
Unfortunately my food was bland and over-cooked. The chicken, especially was hard, and the gloppy sauce mixed in has the texture of glue. The fried rice had a moist, soft texture. I appreciated that the fried rice was freshly made. However, the fried rice was unevenly mixed – with parts being saturated with soy sauce and others, all white, with no seasoning on it at all. The chow mein was okay but bland. The wontons were okay but left an after taste of cooking oil in the mouth. I was not impressed with the food. The Boba Tea was the hero of the meal and I would return for another.

The food was great. I was just in the mood for Chicken Lo mein after work and this hit the spot. The service was great too. The server made sure that I was comfortable and was more then polite.

I ordered Kung Pao pork but what I actually got was a bowl of gross, soggy celery with a few pieces of pork. It was the ONLY vegetable in my dish.
Stop. Stop it. Stop using nasty, cheap celery as a main ingredient. STOP.
SERIOUSLY.
NO ONE ENJOYS CELERY THAT MUCH.
LITERALLY NO ONE.
How difficult is it to cook real vegetables? Onions, carrots, broccoli… These are not expensive ingredients. Why go SO cheap that you’re only using celery? Would it pain you to include a description on your menu so I know what does and doesn’t use celery as the main ingredient?
Is there some sort of Big Celery conspiracy that requires bad Chinese food include an entire head of celery? Is there someone forcing you to make this, or are you actively chosing to make celery your star ingredient?
Would your own staff even eat this? I’ll buy another order, and I want to watch the head cook eat it. Every last bite of an entire head of celery. Let me know a time and place.

I had been craving chowmein from here for a long time. Stopped in on Friday, July 18 for take out and was very disappointed. The fried rice was taste less, the chowmein mediocre, and the noodles were stale along with fortune cookie. The wontons were ok. It is not the same place at all, just the building is the same. The name isn’t the same either. The old restaurant had fabulous food! This place not so good and high priced for what you get. I will not return.

Great food, great service, easy online ordering. When in town we always try to stop. Chicken chow mein with or without mushrooms is great!
