I hear a lot of different feedbacks and mostly mention the restaurant is not consistent, and I finally have a chance to try it myself, the server is excellent and he was able to create the experience much better than I thought, food wise was ok maybe my expectations was too high, but overall not worth the money they charged

Had a great first experience at Sunny’s Chinese. We had a very attentive server who walked us through the menu. We choose the chef’s tasting menu, the dishes were well curated and had the perfect portion size. The flavor profile for each dish was unique and the dessert was the best. Overall a great experience will visit again!
