Chef Sun's Noodle & Dumpling officially had their grand opening in Sugar Land today! Their original Dallas-area location has become very popular, so I was excited to see them make their way to Sugar Land. Even better, they're a halal Chinese restaurant, specializing in handmade-style dumplings, noodles, buns, and other Chinese favorites.
We tried a pretty good spread: Braised Beef Buns, Chicken Steamed Dumplings, Chicken & Shrimp Pot Stickers, Fresh Chili Beef Noodles, and a Passionfruit Lemonade.
The Fresh Chili Beef Noodles were a standout. The noodles were coated in a flavorful chili sauce and topped with seasoned beef, fresh cilantro, green onions, and chilies. Definitely a good choice if you enjoy some heat!
The dumplings are what Chef Sun's is known for, and we got to try them a couple of different ways. The Chicken Steamed Dumplings were soft and tender, while the Chicken & Shrimp Pot Stickers had that great combination of a soft wrapper with a nicely seared bottom.
The Braised Beef Buns were another nice addition--soft, fluffy steamed buns packed with savory beef. We finished everything off with the Passionfruit Lemonade, which was cold, fruity, and refreshing alongside the richer and spicier dishes.
The restaurant itself is bright, modern, and spacious, with plenty of booth and table seating. For a brand-new restaurant, it has a polished and inviting feel.
Overall, Chef Sun's Noodle & Dumpling is a welcome addition to the Sugar Land halal food scene. If you love Chinese dumplings and noodles, this is definitely a new spot worth checking out. I'm looking forward to going back and working my way through more of the menu! read more
