Don't go to Susanna Foo expecting the usual Chinese food or decor. Much of chef/owner Foo's cuisine, served in an elegant, Asian-tinged atmosphere, is so heavily influenced by her French leanings that die-hard Chinese-food fans may be disappointed. But that's not to downplay the Susanna Foo appeal: Asian fusion aficionados and converts love this place. The menu goes as far toward Chinese as Kung Pao chicken and as far from Chinese as grilled filet mignon with saffron fettuccini. In between, you'll find mesmerizing combinations of French and Asian fare. Foo is known for her impeccable dim sum, which includes a sampler box with seared big eye tuna, baby crab cakes, ginger-smoked salmon with wasabi creme fraiche and mushroom dumplings; seared foie gras with truffle potato dumplings and grilled figs; and steamed veal and spinach dumplings. An excellent way to partake of the dim sum is by choosing the seven-course chef's table, which is served in a private room for eight-12 guests.

  • NOT LIKE SUILAN IN THE BORGATA?

    Review rating : 5out of 5   AnRio7 - 08/23/2008

    OMG. SUILAN AT THE BORGATA WAS THE BEST CHINESE FOOD EVER. SINCE THEY CLOSED DOWN, I WAS CONSIDERING TAKING A RIDE TO THE RESTAURANT IN PHILADELPHIA. BUT BASED ON THE REVIEWS I AM READING I DON'T THINK IT IS WORTH THE TRIP. HAS ANYONE BEEN TO SUILAN IN THE BORGAT TO BE ABLE TO LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS THAT BIG OF A DIFFERENCE. THANK YOU.

  • Soooo disappointed

    One of the things I enjoy doing is trying different eateries, sampling different styles of foods. I had heard so much about SF, and was excited to go. It was nowhere near what I heard. I would not go back, nor recommend it to anyone. The food was bland, and cold. The service was good, but not great.

    Find a smaller place in china town.

  • Not worth it! Especially the Radnor location.

    The only worthwhile item on the menu is the dumplings. You want good traditional chinese, you are better off going to Yang Ming in Bryn Mawr or Sampan in Havertown.

  • great food if u willing to pay the price !

    DON'T try to give Susanna Foo or her employees a parking ticket, or she may beat you up and cause you to miscarry your baby (See today's Philadelphia Inquirer / Daily News for full story).
