Always want to try this place. Ordered the red bean milk pudding and beef rice noodles. Don't recommend, lack of beans and they used kidney beans instead red beans. Definitely recommend their steamed rice noodles. Fresh, hot, and thin. The service can be slow. read more

I've always wanted to try susu and I finally made my way over for lunch. This is definitely a hole in the wall type of restaurant. It's very small inside and there's only room for maybe 4-5 small tables. The inside has seen better days, but I came here for their noodles: I've always heard that their noodles are very fresh and authentic. I got the beef noodle soup, stir fried beef noodles, and the durian milk pudding. All the the dishes were well done - particularly the beef noodle soup. The beef was well seasoned and very tender. The dessert was also a pleasant surprised. It was not too sweet, very smooth, and a great way to end the meal. The dessert was a little on the pricey side for the amount that you got though. The downside of this place is that it's small. The service on this day was also very slow. For the amount of dishes we ordered, it took 45 min to come out. The restaurant was very busy and it seemed like they were understaffed because the food was taking a while to come out for every table. Overall, I would come back. I thought the noddles were really fresh and it was decently priced. read more

Tried Su Su Gourmet and honestly this spot surprised me a bit. Used to be cindys planet which had the wings i liked. From the outside it looks pretty low key, almost like you'd walk past it without thinking twice. Inside is simple too, nothing fancy. It's also a really tight space with just a few tables, and it honestly felt like there was one cook running the whole kitchen. Dishes came out one by one with some gaps in between, but it kinda made the meal feel paced instead of rushed The clay pot beef brisket with daikon radish gets an easy 5 out of 5. Super tender, really moist, and came out piping hot. Just super comforting and one of those dishes you keep eating without realizing it. Could be a bit more generous with portions tho. The clay pot rice with beef was another standout, 4 out of 5. Takes about 20 minutes since they cook it fresh, but worth it. Rice was perfectly done, fragrant, and the crispy bits at the bottom were great. Also appreciated that when we mentioned another dish being salty, they adjusted the sauce on this one. Nice touch and good at end. Rice noodle rolls were soft and fresh, I'd say around a 3.5 out of 5. Good texture and solid overall, but not the best I've had. Their char siu with the salted egg yolk in the middle was interesting, but probably a 3 out of 5 for me. Very fatty in a good way, but the sauce was heavy and leaned too salty direction. Would be much better if they toned that saltiness down. The shredded chicken was also around a 3.5 out of 5. A bit too much white pepper which kinda overpowered things, and could've used more cilantro to balance it out. Got some greens on the side which were simple and done right, no complaints there. Fermented bean curd vegetables pretty good. The lady serving us was Taishanese and was chatting with us in Cantonese. She mentioned they were one of the earlier spots doing this style of rice noodle rolls before it started popping up more in Quincy. She also pointed out the cook was her younger brother and you can tell there's some pride there Also random note, the bathroom is in a kinda quirky spot right by a side door near the tables. Easy to miss but it's there Service was quick and no nonsense, which fits the vibe. Not really a place for ambiance, more like come hungry and leave full. Pricey. Would come back for the clay pot dishes for sure. Overall still a solid 3.5 out of 5 read more

4.8/5 Great local gem. Not in the typical part of Chinatown but worth the walk over to check out. Small place with only a few tables but it has great clay pots and rice rolls/crepes which are their most popular dishes. Other favorites are the salt chicken congee and pull apart chicken dish. Many other options too but haven't tried them all yet. Highly recommend! read more

Su Su Gourmet - Rice noodle roll with shrimp and egg - Chinese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Tiny establishment with rice rolls worth the wait. We got three Rice Noodle Rolls (Beef, BBQ Pork, and Shrimp) and the Chinese Sausage Eel Claypot Rice. You can add egg to a rice roll for $1 more. The Rice Rolls were all thin and sitting in a tasty sauce. The Claypot Rice was also a great pick, with solid meat portions and soy sauce flavors in the rice. Importantly, there was also plenty of crunchy (not burnt) rice at the bottom of the pot! The major caveat was the wait time: it took ~40 mins for the first rice roll to arrive. To be fair, they are a small operation and there were many people (dine-in and takeout) waiting. Just keep that in mind when visiting! read more

Small little hole in the wall Chinese restaurant for comfort food. The place is very small and has very little seating. It's definitely not the cleanest and very much resembles "dai pai dong" style. The food isn't cheap, but it's good home cooking. I was rather disappointed by the clay pot rice because it was supposed to be "lap mai" and only had Chinese sausage. The boneless chicken feet in Thai chili was delicious (not pictured). read more

Su Su Gourmet - Chinese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

the waiter was very nice and first timing having rice roll, very good! cute location tucked away from china town

I lived in Boston for over 10 years and I never walked down this side Chinatown. By chance, I discovered this hidden gem two days ago. Something about this place, may be the fact that it survived in such a remote location drawn me in to give it a try. I was thoroughly surprised by the quality of the food that I am convinced those popular spots in Chinatown can't match what Su Su Gourmet can offer. We ordered the eel claypot, coconut stewed chicken soup, Toishan shredded chicken and sautéed water spinach. Everything was just perfect and delicious. The soup was condensed with flavour of chicken and sweet coconut, my 3yr old picky eater loved it so much she finished the entire bowl. The claypot eel was fresh and the seasoning was pure umami. The Toishan shredded chicken was authentic, and the sautéed water spinach was fresh with wok hei. The "catch" for this place is that it takes time for them to prepare all the dishes fresh. I see some people complain the wait being too long. For me, the quality of the food makes the wait truly worth it. The owner Aunt "Su Su" is outgoing and friendly. She ended up feeding my 3yr old so I can get a bite for myself. I really wish I found this place earlier. We don't live in Boston anymore, but I know I will visit Su Su Gourmet every time we come back to Boston. read more

Before you order, please check the price with them!! Cuz they will raise the price without specifying anywhere. When you got the check and questioned them, they would just tell you oh we change the price but don't have time to update menu. lol this place is such a scam. Tiny food amount with price like you are eating in a 4 star restaurant. It's a take out place!!!! Charge like a take out place please. read more

Basically a hidden gem for good Chinese/Taishan food in Chinatown despite the service. I came with some friends at 5pm and we were seated right away. We ordered Rice Noodle Roll with BBQ Pork (with Egg), XO Sauce Fried Rice Noodle Roll, Spare Ribs, Sauteed Spinach, and Taishan Shredded Chicken. I've never had rice noodle rolls with eggs in it so I'd say that was the best dish. The shredded chicken was really good as well, though I've definitely had it at home - which makes this place all the more authentic. Other dishes were good - thumbs up! It took a while to get all our food since we definitely ordered a decent number of dishes, but it was also because our order was mixed up with another table. We kept getting food that wasn't ours; we were given rice noodle rolls with shrimp and had them take it back. We were also given spare ribs with rice claypot instead of just spare ribs. We thought they wrote the order wrong so we just accepted it. It turned out that the dish was for another table as well! Then the worker scolded us for 3-5 minutes for eating a dish that they mistakenly gave us. In the end, it took us 56 minutes to get all our food. I would recommend trying the food out if you have time to spare! I'd love to come back for their rice noodle rolls with BBQ pork..maybe for take out. Just expect a little more than just your typical Chinatown service. read more

Food is ok but service is insane. We are a party of 3. When we arrived at the restaurant , there was a part of 2 waiting and there was a vacant 2-person table. However, the restaurant manager just let the 2 person sit for the next 4-person table while let us waiting. I tried to stop the manager and ask why, but the restaurant manager didn't even answer my question. Hygiene condition is also questionable, with a pair of shoes in the basement. Apparently that is a machine used for cooking. MA Food Safety should really come and take a look. Should not visit even you don't have any alternative. read more

Su Su Gourmet - It's too good and I forgot to take pic until after I ate the whole thing . - Chinese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Absolutely an authentic Cantonese restaurant in town! One of the best! Strongly recommend the claypot rice, the best I have ever tried so far. I did order the one with frog, but you could definitely go with the crab one, which was their famous for. Cantonese likes soups and there are several options for you to choose based on the types of meat or flavors. The rice noodle roll was great as well but I prefer the ones from Big Fun Cafe. Last but not least, definitely try out this pork blood if you would like something spicy. It is one of their new dishes and similar to Mao Xue Wang. read more

We had reserved a large party (15 folks) ahead of time. It was easy to order ahead in Cantonese/Mandarin. The tables were not the cleanest, but the food was amazing. I would highly recommend the eel clay pot rice, the ginger scallion lobster, and fried milk for dessert. This is your classic hole-in-the-wall Chinatown establishment. The restaurant is a bit pricey, but worth the quality of dishes. read more

This place is a bit off of the main China town blocks and the appearance is very unassuming from the outside. That probably explains the fact that this gem is seriously under appreciated. I've been to several of the Boston China town spots considered to be the best and Su Su gives any of them a serious run for its money. The dishes are more regionally specific than the standard American Chinese restaurant, so it helped to go with some Cantonese friends. Still I think anyone who likes Chinese food would absolutely appreciate the amazing noodles, dumplings, garlic fried veggies, etc. I also recommend venturing out a bit and trying the clay pot rice, rice noodle rolls, and even the porridge: I did not expect them to be as great as they are! The food can take a while and the restaurant can be awfully crowded and cramped. Still, I think it's one of the best, most unique and authentic Chinese food experiences in Boston. A must try! read more

I rarely give 5/5s, but I have to for this one. Coming from Hong Kong, my family and I are always on the search for the most authentic Cantonese restaurant in Boston. Without a doubt, Su Su Gourmet easily takes the spot. It is genuinely a hole in the wall and it doesn't get enough attention. Let's get some things out of the way. The interior is not the best. It is small and dinky, but it is comforting and homey. The location is off of the main streets of Chinatown, near Tufts Medical and Graduate school, so it was a little hard to find. You know the food is good when the chefs of this place are literally grandmas. The wait for the food is long but it is well worth. Now let's get to the food part. For the rice roll, I have had the rice noodle roll with BBQ pork (4/5), pan fried rice noodle roll with dry shrimp (5/5), and XO Sauce Fried Rice Noodle(4.5/5). I haven't tasted anything like these since Hong Kong. The BBQ one was alright but the XO Fried and especially the Dry shrimp one was heavenly. Their SuSu Chicken (4/5) is pretty good as well. I would rate it a little above what what the siu mei spots around here offers. Their Coconut stewed Chicken soup (4.5/5) is pretty good as well. It tastes like something my grandmas make back home. I saved the best for last, which is the claypot rice. Don't go to Claypot cafe, go to this one instead. Each one is full of flavor and there is a good amount of perfectly crispy but not burnt rice bits at the bottom. I like the eel claypot rice the most (5/5), followed by the eel and Chinese sausage (4.5/5) and then the spare ribs claypot (4/5). The price is not cheap at all, but it is reasonable. However, each food is so homey and comforting that I will pay the price every time I go. Can't wait to frequent this restaurant more! read more

Tiny, cramped spot in a weird neighborhood with so-so service, but the food was amazing. We ordered two vegetarian noodle dishes (one with cilantro and one deep fried). They were so good and unlike any other meal I've had. I highly recommend this spot, it's a hidden gem with some really unique and spectacular food. read more

Honestly one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. It is definitely underrated, a very small place, and they don't speak fluent English. However that doesn't matter when the food tastes so good and is at such a cheap price! It seems family owned and the people working there are very friendly. The beef brisket noodle soup is my favorite, along with the clay pot rices. read more

Su Su Gourmet - Beef Brisket with Rice Noodle Soup - Chinese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Are you craving authentic Taishanese cuisine? You want that clay pot rice action? Then you've come to the right place! Located right outside the main Chinatown streets, Su Su Gourmet is a bit hidden from the rest of the restaurants. Step inside and you are instantly surrounded by Taishanese speakers. Food: I got the yellow eel clay pot rice (a classic) and something I've never seen before in Boston. Fresh made cheung fun (rice noodles)! The rice is served in the clay pot as usual topped with stir fried slivers of eel and topped with a handful of cilantro. No need to add soy sauce as the rice is already really flavorful from the eel. The noodles are fresh made with ground pork and egg (+$1), served with a sweet soy sauce. Aside from actually being in Taishan, I haven't seen these fresh made cheung fun before. Just for the noodles itself I am giving this place 5 stars for its unique offering! The rice itself is a 3.5/4 stars which is comparable to the Clay Pot Café. After eating it at the source in Taishan, nothing else compares to it. But I will most definitely be back to eat again when I have the craving! read more

As a Cantonese, I was very excited about this visit, but I do not think I will come back again. So we had a dine-in lunch that day, the restaurant did not turn on the AC so it was hot sitting inside. People who work in this place cannot speak very good Cantonese, English, or Mandarin, so it was hard to communicate with them when I had questions about their food. Their rice noodle roll was ok, I think dim sum restaurants have better rice noodle roll than them. Taishan Shredded chicken was good, the sesame smell very good, and it is basically boneless chicken for me. Their claypot rice did not have too much meat inside, so I think it is slightly overpriced. The Milk pudding was below average, not the same taste as the one I had in China. Su su chicken was ok, just the sauce it comes with (ginger and green onion) was not good. read more

This is a hole in the wall and for those who know village Toi san cuisine. The really local dishes are not on the menu and specials are in Chinese. I work close by and was told I could get authentic Cheung fun rolls( rice noodle riolls)I and was not disappointed. My visiting friend and I ordered the egg Cheung fun and the beef Cheung fun along with the tong choy ( water spinach) with Belacan sauce. The Cheung fun came as thin silky sheets with generous layers of beef and egg. The tong choy was amazing- crunchy with hints of chili and dried shrimp. A Chinese family chatting in at least 3 dialects ( toi san, manadarin and Cantonese) was holding a birthday party and we both wanted to join their table of delicious and unusual plates. The mom had a cold milk custard( a HK specialty) there we're split platens in garlicky sauce and an incredible abalone soup. Our waiter was wonderful. read more

Su Su Gourmet - crispy chitterlings，nearly $16 - Chinese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Four ladies working in the kitchen = constant yelling. The lady, who I think is the owner, keeps on telling two of her staff "why are you ao dumb" I didn't get my order, even though I called in, until 40 mins later. Worth the wait? Yes. I think they make their own pearl noodles - very chewy unlike the frozen kind (that falls apart after you cook them). One complaint is that they put too much bean sprouts (70% bean sprouts vs 30% noodles). I am addicted to the earthy taste of the beef brisket noodle soup. You can tell that the broth was simmered for a while, the beef-y, gingerly aroma smells so good. The meat falls apart too. For take out, it's better to separate the noodles/meat apart from the soup to prevent sogginess. I was surprised that I got one container instead. I think there's only one chef there so if you have all the time in the world, this is a great hole in the wall. read more

Food is good but what cannot understand is how much time they need to prepare our food. We ordered just one shredded chicken with rice for to go. We called them and ordered before we go. We go after 30 minutes of ordering, and been charged and asked for for tips. Ok that's fine. Told it's a bit more longer to for the food to be ready. Ok we wait for it for another 30 minutes. Come on why tf it take an hour to get a food that they supposed to have them ready, and there's no any customers doing dine in at the moment. read more

Very authentic Cantonese food, in particular Taishanese food. My friend and I both speak Cantonese so we ordered off the Chinese menu, but the staff seemed to be able to communicate well in English and Mandarin too. We ordered 椰子炖鸡 (soup with coconut and chicken), 腊味田鸡煲仔饭 (clay pot rice with frog and cured meat), 蒜蓉炒麦菜 (garlic stir fried veggie), 蒸排骨 (steamed short ribs). Everything was amazing and reminded me of home! I would definitely come back here if I visited Boston again in the future. read more

I use to love this place until I lowkey got scammed here. Just last week I ordered pickup here and my clay pot was around $15 after tax. I came here with a friend for dine in last night, and when we got our check, everything was around $2 more than it was marked on the menu, and more expensive than when I was just here the week prior! I had asked the employee for a bunch of help with ordering, and I can read 90% of the Chinese writing on the wall, but there was no prior notice about the price increase. Not verbally, not written. The receipt was also not very descriptive, with no description of what we ordered, just the price (which was more than on the menu). When I asked if our total was miscalculated, the employee immediately knew what I was talking about and said ohhh yeah there was a slight price increase but we haven't gotten new menus. It seemed like they knew exactly what the issue is, they just never chose to inform us in any way, until we noticed. And when we noticed, there was no solution offered. However, what was I to do in that situation? Be a Karen at this tiny family owned restaurant and refuse to pay? I paid the prices I never originally agreed to and left a generous tip and left. Forever. I won't be back read more

AVOID: Disgusting place! While dinning, a cockroach, a huge freaking cockroach, FLEW down from the ceiling and landed right the heck in front of me, on my bf's plate. Just imagine the horrendous sound and scene. Called owner to come over, she just snatched the cockroach with a paper and wiped our table with a dirty cloth, and then she left without saying a single word, DID NOT apologize whatsoever. There's no word that can describe my feelings at that moment. We were traumatized and asked for checks ASAP. Not only it took us 10 minutes to get the check ready, the owner didn't mention a single word about what happened to us. When asked what would she like to do about the situation, she offered ONE free drink or free dessert. Excuse me?? Our order total was $145, and I felt like a complete idiot. Boston needs to do something about this place. read more

I asked for a receipt they said their machine broke. I didn't expect them charged me extra as a business that has been around for so long. I signed the receipt for $37 and then checked my bank app that they charged me $45. I only order two dishes of noodle and one dishes of chicken. I should've took a picture of the signed receipt. It was totally unexpected! It is better to pay with cash at the Chinese restaurant. Read some of the reviews below and it looks like it is not the first time that this happened. Please report this restaurant. read more

Never judge a book from its cover. This tiny restaurant is hard to find and it is located near Chinatown, not inside Chinatown. It only has four tables in the restaurant, but it provides multiple choices of dishes. In particular, Asian swamp eel with claypot rice is a specially recommended dish. The claypot rice is crispy and the Asian eel is soft and delicious. In addition, they have fresh grinding soybean milk. It is truly fresh because you can taste the soybean crunches at the bottom of the cups. They also have multiple choices of desserts. The authentic Cantonese food and multiple choices of dishes earn this place a high evaluation from me. read more
