Gourmet indeed! Sue Min and her husband tout a feast of homemade, non-MSG Chinese cuisine that is simply sensational! One must climb the hill that heads south past route 30 to find this former soda fountain situated on the right across from the OARDC. Small and unadorned, the same waitress always offers that you may sit wherever you like and may have a free baklava at the end of the meal.
Hunan chicken has been my favorite find there – I’ve only had it once, but it was out of this world. Lo mein I would not recommend, won ton soup yes. Service can be dicey – don’t play to go there on Friday evening at 6:30 with a crowd of eight and have everyone served their meal at the same time or expect to leave at a decent hour.
On the hole, I love sue min’s. It’s out of the way, across from the beautiful OARDC (agricultural campus for Ohio University). The prices are fair: 4 to 7 dollars for an entree and you may get a lunch combo at a reduced rate for dinner, which includes fried rice and choice of egg roll or soup. Their buffet, which is incredible and highly recommended on a hungry first visit, prices out at about 9 dollars (used to be cheaper when I ate it, but hey, it saves me the pounds and dough to not indulge).
The one caveat that comes with choosing to dine at Sue Min's is that you never quite know when they're open. Rumor has it that the couple frequently treks to their second home in Italy and come the fall and late spring they are usually out for the season.
So how does one solve the ravishing hunger pains that may trip up the innards of your brain with hope for delicious egg rolls and won ton soup that can only smile down at you from the heavens? Better hit up Wild Ginger!
