The inside is cozy and super inviting. The star was the owner, she was the absolute sweetest. You don't normally get the best service at these places but the service here was amazing!!

I only noticed the difference when she told me the price, and I clarified that I normally order half. The food itself was good and I enjoyed the flavour.

I hope the service can be improved, as I would otherwise be happy to come back for the food.

I'm not a bad carb person so I can barely make a dent in their rice/noodle dishes for lunch. So I was happy to see non-rice/noodles based dishes that is served all day and not just tea time. I ordered the yuzu chicken steak with potato salad. It comes with a drink and soup. The chicken steak was deep fried, with liminal batter and the met remains juicy. The yuzu sauce was spread on top. First time seeing chicken + yuzu at a cha cheng teng. What took me by surprised was the potato salad. It was definitely made in house, with chunks of apples, carrots, red onion, ham and eggs. Love how it was also not dose in miracle whip. I chose the Chinese soup (instead of western style) and it was flavorful. I would said better than most Chinese restaurants who gives for complimentary soup for dinner. There was minimal MSG, as I didn't feel thirsty afterwards. The HK milk tea was the weaker component of this set, the tea base was lacking in flavour and didnt have the "thick" texture to it.

They seemed hesitant but gave us an open table as long as we could finish eating by 12:30 (as someone else had reservations) which gave us an hour. Easy and done. Bathrooms are touchless with opening and locked door. Very convenient. Female bathrooms are on ground level while male bathrooms are downstairs. The atmosphere is posh and modern. Order food through a QR code at the table or you are free to ask for a menu. Food comes out SUPER quick. The rice noodle rolls were delicious, both shrimp and beef. The fried tofu was excellent. Congee is ok but I'm not a big congee person even though I'm at Congee Queen. Singapore rice noodles were good but not spicy enough for those who like heat. Decent meal and quick at that!

My friend said the Hainanese chicken rice may be the best one he has ever had in GTA. I ordered a Malaysian chicken curry, pork chop pasta soup and French fries for my son. All of them were tasty. The amount of ingredients also made me feel my money was worth it, even though their prices are a bit higher than those of the restaurants of the same type. Their service was probably the best.

My boyfriend took me here for a birthday dinner and I could not have picked a better place myself…read more This place had incredible food and an amazing Hong-Kong diner ambience. We made a reservation for 5:15pm. This place is in a tucked away corner in Kensington market; you have to actually go in one of the stores and there's a long hallway that leads to the restaurant. This restaurant is quite hard to find by itself, but there was already a long line by the time we arrived (it opened at 5pm). Although my boyfriend said he was able to get a walk-in table a few weeks ago, I highly recommend getting a reservation prior. The inside has a quaint diner feel to it. We were seated on a long "bar" near the kitchen and it was nice to have a view of the cooking. One thing I noticed is that the lighting across the restaurant is quite dim, which made it a little hard to take pictures and also made me quite sleepy! We ordered the tasting menu which comprised 4 courses. We received a tofu amuse-bouche which was quite lovely. The first course was the bluefin tuna and the husband + wife beef, served with a side of rice. The beef was very well seasoned and a little spicy, which worked well with the rice. The tuna was nice as well. The real star of this course was the char siu donut, which had this amazing crisp exterior and a savoury pork filling. I did wish there was a little bit more filling, but the pastry and filling combo worked very well. The next course was a noddle dish, stuffed chicken wings, and grilled zucchini. I'm not a huge fan of zucchini but this one was nice enough. My favourite part was the chicken wings. It had so much flavour (the cilantro was a nice touch) and was quite substantial. I was using the noodles as a substitute for rice since the chicken wing flavour was quite intense, which was a good idea. The third course was the twice cooked pork, green beans, and fried rice. Although I thought this course was outshined by the other previous ones, it was still great. I particularly liked the seasoning of the pork (even though it was a little fatty for my taste). The fried rice was good and more of a muted flavour, which is good since it allowed the pork to shine. The last course, which was dessert, was actually my favourite. The french toast was amazing, one of the best desserts I've ever had in a restaurant. The sweet condensed milk sauce and the nutty toasty flavour of the black sesame french toast was an excellent combination. The ice cream had these corn chip bits that also elevated it. They put a candle on the side because it was my birthday! Overall, an amazing dinner. Usually, when I dine at these full course restaurants, the portions are too small and I leave feeling hungry still, but this was just the right amount of food. I highly recommend coming here if you want an elevated take on Chinese food, and you want great dessert.

Sunny's is located within a small hallway, look for a nostalgic hk style neon sign outside a non descript door.

They have a quaint and surprisingly quiet outside patio. We ordered the sesame French toast and it came out exactly how I imagined it. I request the oolong condensed milk on the side. It was a light and small treat for the afternoon. The sesame flavour wasn't overwhelming and the sweetness was just right.
