Suzi's China Grill

I would recommend this place for lunch only! All lunch specials come with a dish, your choice of soup, egg roll or crab rangoon, and rice! Prices are fairly decent at lunch.

Went with my boyfriend on a recent Friday night...we are not super picky eaters and we were disappointed by Suzi's. Tried to order steamed veggie dumplings and were told that it would take 20 minutes. So we ordered the fried spring rolls instead. They were decent, if a little greasy, so we were hopeful about our entrees.

We ordered:
-Shrimp with Basil sauce: seemed to be fresh ingredients, but the sauce was tar-like and overly salty. Kind of a turn-off.
-Sesame Chicken: I know, not very adventurous, but it's a good test of a Chinese restaurant's skill. Instead of the desired crispy and succulent, it came to us dense and dry. Also floating in a thick sauce that didn't seem to have much of a flavor except salty.
-Sauteed mixed veggies with tofu: we requested light sauce, but it came to us floating in overly salty sauce anyhow. Vegetables were edible (a bit overcooked), but I actually had to eject the tofu out! It had a weird, non-food flavor...or maybe it was unfresh.

Too expensive for low quality! I could give it another chance, but I'd rather go to Din Hoh (citysearch won't allow the real name for some reason) or even Pei Wei. At least the food is fresh and has flavor other than salt.

Maybe she's not aware but...

As much as I have enjoyed Suzi's china restaurants I was very saddened and disappointed to see that Suzi's serves Shark Fin soup. Something I hadn't noticed before. On my way to Japan I watched a documentary on this horrific and cruel trade where as the Sharks are taken from the sea, their fins are cut off while they are still alive then thrown (discarded) back to the sea where they sink to the bottom and drown. Tens of thousands of sharks die each year to this practice.

To see this "soup" being sold anywhere let alone in Austin, a city with a conscience, is very distressing. I will not be eating at Suzi's or any other restaurant that participates, by serving, in this cruel, wasteful and unnecessary trade. It is my hope that Suzi will remove this item from her menu's.

We go to Suzi's on a regular basis because the food is great, the service is good and the atmosphere is nice. They have the best wonton soup I've had and the Basil Garlic Shrimp is excellent.

It's also really fast - you can go in for lunch or dinner pretty much any day of the week and have a great meal in a short amount of time.

I highly recommend checking Suzi's out the next time you're craving Chinese food.

The sushi tasted chlorinated and the noodles we ordered were bland and very soggy. I will not be eating here again.
