Su Vegan Buffet is an entirely vegan Asian buffet at 86 Uxbridge Road in Shepherds Bush. Formerly known as Tai Buffet, the restaurant has returned under its current name with the same informal, self service approach. Diners can explore a broad selection of hot and cold dishes within one sitting, making it useful for quick lunches, relaxed dinners and groups with different preferences.
The buffet regularly brings together noodles, fried rice, tofu, dumplings, vegetable dishes and fresh salads. Choices change as trays are replenished, so each visit can offer a slightly different combination. Miso soup and lighter vegetables balance the richer fried items, while sauces and chilli oil allow diners to adjust seasoning at the table.
Mock meat dishes are an important part of the selection, using soy and other plant based ingredients to recreate familiar Chinese and wider Asian flavours. Sweet and sour vegan chicken, vegan beef preparations, mapo tofu, sesame prawn style toast and vegetable tempura provide contrasting textures. Spring rolls, bao and other savoury snacks make it easy to sample several smaller portions before returning for favourites.
The casual format keeps the focus on variety and value rather than formal service. Beer, wine and soft drinks are available alongside the buffet, and takeaway boxes provide another way to enjoy the cooking. A small shop at the back sells vegetarian and vegan products, giving visitors an opportunity to browse specialist ingredients after their meal.
