on Citysearch Nov 30, 2008I went to Susanna Foo on a Sunday night and had a very romantic experience. The dining room was very elegant and the service was outstanding. We started with a dumpling sampler and the tuna tasting for appetizers. For... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 27, 2008Dumpling sampler is delicious. Worth the $20+. I had the szechuan seafood platter, delicious, my girlfriend had the peaking duck, also delicious. Portion sizes were impressive for a fine dining establishment. I... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 24, 2008Susanna Foo had been on my list of places to try for quite awhile but I never deemed it pricey enough to make it a good bargain to go for Restaurant Week. Overall, I felt that we had a positive experience with very good food... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 06, 2008I went to Susanna Foo with my boyfriend for the first time two days ago. When we walked in, we were very impressed with the classy ambience. We had a lovely waiter who recommended the duck entree but neither of us were in... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 30, 2008First experience with Foo's and probably the last. We waited for everything an extremely long time. Food I can understand, but to wait for menus, to order, and the check. I expected more from this establishment than... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 11, 2007The room was very loud (red lantern room) which is fine for a casual restaurant but not for fine dining. The waiter couldn't answer simple questions about the wine list. The samosas were good but the positives really... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 16, 2006Went there a while back for their Sunday dim sum brunch. The service was excellent, we must have one waiter per guest. However, the joy ended there. The dim sum selection was extremelly poor and not autheitic. It is... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 13, 2006On Wednesday night of Restuarant Week my daughter and I dined here. She had raved about the food, so I wanted to try it. The Crispy Shrimp were soggy, the coconut rice was sticky, and the steamed vegatables were just... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 04, 2006The food was just ok. Nothing to rave about. there are other restuarants in the city that have much better food for less money. (more)

on Citysearch Jul 16, 2006<b>In Short</b><br>Orchids and a bright painting of Chef Susanna Foo welcome diners. With silk lanterns, long banquettes and balanced service, the space manages to be elegant without being stuffy. Start with the... (more)

on Judys Book Mar 21, 2006I went there with a business client and my boss, so it was all paid for by work, otherwise I never would have been able to afford it. Its EXPENSIVE. And its froufrou Chinese foodnot the stuff youd get out of a... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 23, 2006Just ate here during restaurant week, and we were unimpressed with the food and service. The squash soup was average, on par with a pre-made from Trader Joe's. The salmon was average, but on the bland side. The coconut... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 19, 2006It was ok. The butternut squash parsnip soup was delicious with little garlic croutons. The chinese side of things were not worth the money. The hot and sour soup was ehhh and so was the kung pow chicken. The noodles... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 09, 2006I didn't know what to expect considering the mixed reviews, but we had a wonderful dinner. The service was excellent (by far the best we have had) and the food was very good. The appetizers were better than our main... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 19, 2005This is the biggest "smoke and mirors" restaurant I have ever dined in. There is lack of clarity and focus on the menu. It appears as if the business owners randomly pulled ingredients out of a hat, added on some "power"... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 07, 2005We tried Susanna Foo this past weekend & after hearing the rave reviews, I thought we were in for a treat! There was a good-sized group of us, the waitstaff was indeed phenomenal. But, the venue was very loud and made it... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 25, 2005Susanna Foo is a beautiful restaurant with a French-Chinese fusion menu. Appetizers are $10-16; entrees $22-29. I was expecting and outstanding meal, but was extremely disappointed in the food. The room is very... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 20, 2005To me, the hostess and the waiter play a major part in setting the first impression of a new restaurant. It's a shame that neither failed to set a good impression. The hostess not only failed to greet us, but sat us in the... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 20, 2005Susanna Foo's is really mailing it in for restaurant week. I've had better Kung Pao Chicken on an airplane; forget about Chinatown. I won't be back. (more)

on Citysearch Sep 11, 2005Had dinner last week as part of a corporate funtion. The atmosphere is dim and a bit dingy. Several self congragulatory pieces on the wall with assorted dollar store artwork, aside from which the decor is... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 30, 2004Don't go there for restaurant week. We got bad service and it was very rushed. Though a manager came over and offered me a complimentary dinner at a different time, and I thanked him for the apology, he then announced... (more)

on Citysearch May 15, 2004Went there for a birthday dinner with a party of six. For the relatively high prices, it was a disappointment. Didn't see too much of the orgininality mentioned in the many reviews. Waiter was way too pushy in terms of... (more)

on Citysearch May 20, 2003As a Chinese-American, I had high hopes for my first meal at Susanna Foo. What a disappointment! The cuisine should absolutely not be billed as Chinese food or even Asian food. French/Fusion with most of the emphasis... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 24, 2003They use frozen peas and carrots which takes away from the true value and taste of the meals. If they would use fresh vegetables which reflect the high price they charge I would appreciate this restaurant even more.... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 10, 2003I do not know who keeps mentioning this ordinary restaurant in listing Philadelphia's fine restaurants, but it is a fraud. Susanna Foo may be a nice lady with good P.R. skills, but her kitchen turns out beautifully... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 19, 2003I've been here twice. I was so excited about the food. So rarely I taste anything quite as good. The portions are perfect. I went through appetizers, dinner and desert and left not feeling bloated nor hungry. The harp... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 18, 2003Remember when you are dining here, this is not to be compared to your local take-out down the street as this is a French Chinese fusion. In all honesty, this has been the best meal I have had in Philadelphia. The food was... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 18, 2002My boyfriend took me here last year for a Valentine's dinner. They said they only had an opening at 10pm. When we arrived, the place was half empty. We chose a prixe fix meal which was great besides the soup. It seemed... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 08, 2002I admit the food is good but not as excellent as its reputation. It is also fusion leaning and not authentic. Small portions. (more)
