I wanted to go someplace different for dinner tonight. So I found this on yelp. My son and I went in and it looked pretty nice. It was a cozy atmosphere and I like the decorations. I ordered the spicy Ramen with pork the General Tzo's Chicken and fried chicken Diosa. I also ordered a Diet Coke The Diet Coke was $3.50 and all it was a can pop. That showed me the price were going to be ridiculous right away. Came the fried Gyoza, which was not fried. It was clearly steamed or boiled. It wasn't bad, but it would've been a lot better if it was fried like I ordered it. Next came the Spicy miso Ramen . I ordered it medium spice, but it was very hot. It was hard to eat. Therefore I did not eat it. I only had a few bites and that's all I could tolerate. The pork was all fat . That was pretty bad to have all fat and no meat. All I could taste in the broth was what I could only describe as dirty ,fishy ,ocean water. Which obviously to me was disgusting. My general Tzo's chicken, I ordered medium spice and it had no spice whatsoever to it. It was very bland and tasted sweet. I did not like it.. Well, I left there starving and I spent over $40 on food that I couldn't eat. The prices are incorrect on yelp, all the prices went up, except for the pop ,that came down. The only positive or semi-positive thing I have to say is the waitress was really nice, and when you asked for something she went and got it right away. The only problem was it was hard to understand what she was saying or what she was trying to say. By the way, if you're from Yelp and you go in here, you will get either a free spring roll or a free, sticky mango, whatever that is. But when I showed the waitress my coupon from yelp, she said, my boss doesn't associate with yelp, although there is a Yelpie award right there on the counter. Another place, I will not be returning to unfortunately read more

I have been to the location in Williamsville, but I had never been to the Niagara Street location. I had friends from out of town, so we met up for dinner there. The server was very personable, but service was slow, and a couple of things were forgotten. After she took our order, she didn't really come back to check on us to see if we needed anything else. We ordered fried chicken dumplings, steamed chicken dumplings, and vegetarian spring roll appetizers. They were fresh, hot and everyone enjoyed them. Several of us ordered chicken coconut noodle soup. Everyone enjoyed that. The other six people in my party all enjoyed their meals. I ordered Pad Thai for dinner. I was not all that hungry by the time it came because of everything else that I ate. However, I was not a fan. I have had pad thai from other restaurants and it was different from what I expected. The noodles that I've had at other places are different and I did not particularly care for the sauce. Having said that, I don't need a lot of Asian food. It's not something that I would choose if I was choosing a restaurant. So my four-star review was really because of the service not because of the food. read more

Sun Cuisines - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Buffalo, New York

My second time here and I absolutely love the food. The black rice is a must try. The menu is huge so I'll definitely be coming back to try some of the other options like whole fish. I also must say I don't feel extremely bloated or sick like I do when I eat regular Asian takeout. It says a lot about the ingredients. Although the restaurant is smaller you can get food to go. Service is very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely will go back read more

Great food, black rice items are a must. However, the service lately has been super slow, even when it's not very busy. I often find that we're waiting 45 minutes and the server doesn't really check in on us or give us updates, so I have to go to the counter to make sure we're not forgotten about. Also they've playing this really sad piano music that is just kind of depressing and sleep-inducing. read more

Breaks my heart to leave a negative review but... Ordered take out Ramen with Duck. Duck breast was inedible-dry, over roasted. like eating needles. Had to garbage all the duck. I'll never order duck here again. read more

It's a good place with a good selection. I've tried many dishes and they're all ok. If there are a lot of customers you will wait for your food. I was just hoping for more exotic flavors. I'm glad it's there when I'm hungry for Asian food. read more

Sun Cuisines - Salmon combo - Thai Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Ordered grub for Valentine's Day and it did not disappoint in the deliciousness department. Had the Pad Thai for dinner, Chicken curry with Paratha as an appetizer, and Thai Ice Tea as my beverage. The Pad Thai was flavorful and came with a TON of bean sprouts on top, but it was okay. Would have liked a slightly bigger portion, but it was tasty which is most important. The curry had a nice flavor profile as well and was a Burmese curry so a little less thick thank Indian curry can be. The Paratha bread is special highlight that deserves oodles of praise and I recommend you get this by itself or with the curry (if you must) just to enjoy its tasty, flaky texture. Great for dipping in the curry as well. This was a takeout meal so can't speak to the service experience, but the ordering process was smooth on the website, but note that you can only pay with a giftcard online. Otherwise, you'll have to pay in-person upon pickup. read more

On the recommendation of our Airbnb host, we went to Sun Cuisines while in town for the eclipse. We were seated right away, but we did have a long wait for our food. The restaurant was very busy and they needed another server (and maybe another cook?), but not a big deal. The man ordered the Burmese fried rice with chicken and I had the Thai Pad Prig Pow with tofu and vegetables. Both were good - it great, but good. The Fresh Spring Rolls (unfried) were hand-rolled and really good. Overall, we didn't think the restaurant was as great as the recommendation, but it was pretty decent! read more

L the food was delicious, it was very well done, and the rolls were very unique but appetizing You get a lot for what you're paying for, I can't recommend this place enough read more

The service is always great - the food is out of this world! I love the choices and will try to visit enough to enjoy each item. read more

I normally go to the Williamsville location but wanted to try this place out! I ordered the black dragon roll and spicy salmon roll. I noted that the prices were a bit higher than I'm used to but the regular rolls come with 8 pieces instead of the standard 6. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. I would definitely come back! Parking is easy as there is a lot. I will be returning! read more

Giving anything more than a single star would simply be unethical and inaccurate. The good: What they USED to be. What they used to be was really good. A place that always consistent, clean, food tasted clean, experience was good. Now we will never go anywhere near the place. The inside is dirty, rundown, smells horrible and frankly I wouldn't even want to stop in there for a restroom break, let alone eat food from them. Their meats are of the lowest quality and do not even taste like real meat. Vegetables are well past their sell-by date and should be thrown in the trash. I would be shocked if the oil they use to fry spring rolls and other fried items is changed more than once a month. Every bite you take is underwhelming and tastes like you're on the brink of getting food poisoning. Something changed over the last several years and it was not a good change. read more

It's a lovely restaurant with good service. Food was a bit disappointing. We got the whole fish which was overcooked and almost inedible. If we return, we'll stick with Thai food. read more

Such a great hidden gem! A mix of Japanese, Burmese, Vietnamese and Thai! Usually that's an indicator that the food is not going to be great but literally everything my friends and I had was incredible! We started with edamame, a golden sushi roll and a mango vegan roll - fantastic! For dinner was Burmese chicken curry - less like a traditional Indian curry, it was so tender and easy to shred with chop sticks that you eat over rice - amazing! Really great price and my husband and I can't wait to be back!! read more

Sun Cuisines - Golden Golden Crispy Shrimp Roll - so so delicious and great for non-sushi eaters! - Thai Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Gather around children, for I have a tale to tell of my day of adventure. It was a lovely day in the GBA and I had a follow up at the doctors in Amherst. Since I live on the other side of WNY after the doctors I figured I would hit up establishments I haven't been to in a while that use to be a life staple back in my day. The first was a steak sub from Good Guys in North Tonawanda. If you haven't had you are seriously missing out. As I was zipping over I was excited to eat half in the way home and save half for later or the next day. Upon arrival I saw they were closed until 3 on Monday's. My heart was crushed. I was saddened by all this but I knew my other good stop would make up for this disappointment. So off to Athena's for souvlaki! As I drove down the twin city expressway I was imagining me eating the crinkle cut fries as I drove home and then needing to choose if I would eat the steak or the chicken souvlaki for dinner. Again I pull into a parking lot only to see an establishment closed. What is going on?? Siiiggghhh. I then started my slow roll out of town full of disappointments. As I was heading down the Niagara section of the thruway enjoying the lake view I thought to myself. . . Self . . Thai sounds good. Maybe a good pad Thai can make up for all the other dashed food dreams. A quick tap of yelp, an ask for Thai and the list quickly popped up. Look there is one just off the thruway at the next exit! Bonus! I will not lie, the higher rating had me worried. Sometimes those higher ratings do not represent the quality of the food. One good sign from above was seeing a food truck in the parking lot sporting the same name as the establishment. Another good sign was a couple walked in who seemed excited to be back. Let's all return to the fact that I was there to get yummy Pad Thai. That was my goal. That quickly went out the door as I read through the menu. Have you ever been told not to grocery shop while hungry? I recommend not walking in here while starving because you haven't eaten yet. As I read through the menu I was met with many of things that sounded so good that I need them. There were also items I came across that I had no idea what it was but wanted to try. What did save me was that a few of my selections they were not serving that day or I would have walked out with way more food than I did. Fried spring rolls?? Yes please! I wish they were a little bit bigger but they tasted really good. Fried gourd? What is that? That Sounds interesting. Let's get that also! Those also tasted quite good but I wish they were fried a bit more crispy since they were more a soft fry which two soft textures kind of throws things off a bit. Oh look sushi! This is where I was okay with them not serving a few options. I had ended up with two different rolls and I am sure it wouldn't matter which I would have chosen that I would have enjoyed them just as much. What did catch my eye as I looked over the menu 47 times, was the Suns "loaded" fried rice. Everything about this just sounded delightful. This made me do my food happy dance and no matter how much happiness this brought to my life there was a bit of sadness when this was all gone. I will have dreams about this fried rice and I will need to pop in just get get a bowl of this often. In case you all have been wondering yes. . . Of course I had the chicken Pad Thai which was one of the best I have had in the area to date. I look forward to trying many more items off them menu during future visits. I recommend that you don't fly solo but bring friends so you can sample many more dishes during your visit. read more

Was there again! I had crispy duck which was delicious. I accidentally left my credit card there. I called them the next day and they had it waiting for me to pickup. read more

I have not tried the Thai or sushi offered here, as I find the opportunity to have Burmese dishes impossible to pass up whenever I visit. The vaunted black rice is excellent--do make a point of ordering it if you eat here, as it is unusual to find in most of the USA. I've found this restaurant's version of food from Burma to be hearty and satisfying. The pumpkin stew is my particular favorite. The ambience is fine, not fancy. The servers are friendly and attentive. Seating in the booths is comfortable enough. Since many national cuisines from Asia have become mainstream in this country (eg Chinese, Japanese, Thai), it will be the tasty and still exotic delights from Burma that will impress your date, anyway. read more

We should be eating from Sun all the time. It's amazing. My brother was in town with two of his kids and we were doing a nostalgia tour showing them where we grew up and other cites prominent in our childhood. I then suggested that we have a Burmese feast. There were no Burmese restaurants when we were kids, but my grandfather grew up in the country formally known as Burma because his parents (and his father's twin brother) were missionaries there. So, it seemed fitting the share this with my brother and his kids in this trip about our roots. This was an awesome opportunity to order food for five instead of two, allowing us to really explore the menu. We ordered nearly every Burmese dish on the menu and everything was excellent. With 40% of us not being meat eaters, we got just one of the 3 meat curries. My brother chose beef because it seemed more unusual - his family has had lots of chicken curries. They loved it. read more

The quality of this food is out of this world. The sushi is so tender and delicate. The flavors all play so well with each other and the quality and freshness are exceptional. I have never been disappointed with the food here. They have been surprisingly consistent thoughout the years. My first time visiting was over five years ago and with just visiting again recently, I'm amazed the quality of the food is still exceptional if not even better than it was before. Doesn't look like they're cutting any corners amidst the trying times of the pandemic. If you havent been, this is a must visit. You will not be disappointed. read more

Delicious and very filling I have always been happy with my meals coming here!! read more

I have never had Thai Food before I visited Sun Cuisines and I would certainly say that this was a great place for me to get my feet with a new cuisine. There are two locations, one in Williamsville and another in the West Side is Buffalo. I checked out the Buffalo location and it had a very intimate vibe. We must've come at the perfect time because we walked in without a reservation around 4pm and just as we were finishing up our meals, the crowd starting rolling in and several of the groups did have reservations, so I would definitely recommend making one. I got the Thai Basil Fried Rice with Chicken. It was well-seasoned and somewhat spicy. All and all, it was really tasty, but next time I visit, I'll have to continue to explore the menu. My husband got sushi (I forget what kind), but their sushi is made with their signature black rice instead of traditional white rice. If you're a little too nervous to branch out to the black rice, you can request white rice instead. read more

Its a great Asian fusion restaurant with comparatively better decor. The Tom yum is exquisite, with the right balance of flavor and that hot kick. Get the seafood mix or the vegetable mix. You won't regret it. The samosas are a little different than the indian types. These are crunchier with, I can't explain why it tasted different lol. I tried the soft crab and the Burmese flat wide noodles. The spice level was just enough to make me sweat, but not hate myself. I could tell they didn't just dump sriracha to make my food spicier like how many restaurants do that. Overall, the experience was great and I would be going back. read more

Had a lovely dinner at this location. I had only been to Williamsville location prior. I prefer eating in the "city". Arrived around five, was BUSY. Lots of takeout and DoorDash orders, so service was a little slow. There servers were friendly just overworked. Loved the soup, Burmese rolls with black rice and main course, all delicious! Definitely going back! read more

This restaurant is super cute. Service was good. There is inside and patio seating. Inside is nicely decorated. I had coconut shrimp, chicken pad thai, chicken drunken noodles. Coconut shrimp was perfection. It was crispy paired with a sweet sauce that tasted like it had a little bit of coconut in it. The pad thai was Great. Good portion size and noodles to meat ratio. Not too saucy. I tasted my partner's Pad kee mao which was also good. Truly my only complaint was that the food could have had some spice (pepper).They didn't ask about a spice level and I like a bit of a kick. Regardless the food was delicious. Their menu was also extensive with Burmese, thai and sushi options. Id be interested in trying more. read more

Sun has two locations and they're both highly dependable. Staff have always been very pleasant, though at times dismayed when we showed up without reservations. Both locations are very clean and decorated nicely. The food is fresh, tasty, and well seasoned. The Gaeng Panang is my favorite. It's a Thai curry with coconut milk, lime kaffir leaves, red pepper, yummy chunky mushrooms, squash, carrots, green beans, and green peas. I added tofu to mine for protein, it's an excellent light, sweet, spicy, and satisfying dish served with white rice. The Kat Kyay Kite or Burmese Flat Wide Noodle is another excellent choice. Hardy, spicy, and filling-without-being-overfull type of nutritious goodness. It has garlic, hot and sour sauce, scallions, vatana beans, and bean sprouts. High in fiber and taste. There are so many menu options you will need many years and many return visits to enjoy them all. So much sushi, so many yummy treats including the sticky sweet mango roll with black rice... I mean, c'mon. Delicious! If you have taste buds, utilize them and eat some Sun! read more

5 out of 5, easily. When I went with a friend, the customer service alone was worth it. But then, it was a first time for trying lots of different dishes and sides and not one of them was a disappointment (all vegetarian friendly). We took the recommendations of our server and he was more than helpful with any questions I had, even going so far as to crack a few friendly jokes here and there. I had the red curry dish with rice, among bits of other dishes we shared (all good!), but by far my favorite was the raw spring rolls. Have you ever had them? If you're a veggie fan, I highly recommend them! Just remembering them now makes my mouth water, haha! Absolutely want to go again! read more

Tons of options, and always a tasty, satisfying eating experience. The black rice is a unique experience. The rice is tasty and filling. I have something different every time. This time was salmon skin salad and General Tso. Excited for leftovers tomorrow. In the era of Covid, they are still pick-up. Lovely folks, always kind. read more

We are pretty regular customers for take out at the Williamsville location and live the options available for gluten free meals. The black rice menu has some of my favorites while my son is a super fan of the pad Thai entree. Recently decided to look over the Burmese options and loved the rice noodles with chicken curry sauce. Will definitely continue to explore their menu as the food is always fresh and well prepared read more

Visited this, the original location, for the first time recently. I had previously been to the newer, Williamsville location several times and was always quite impressed! As much I enjoyed said Williamsville location, I think I enjoyed this one even more! The ambiance was a tad more relaxing and subdued, and the service was top-notch. From the moment of walking in, it was evident what a professional establishment this is. The hardest thing about Sun Cuisine is deciding whether to go the Thai route or the Burmese route...or simply the sushi/black rice route! To start, my fiancee and I split the Grand Avocado roll - which is a Sun Cuisine tradition for us - it is seriously so good. I ended up eating a spicy, but not too spicy Thai dish wish shrimp (actually, I was a bit surprised at the lack of "heat," might request some extra kick next time). Regardless, it was delicious. From the service, to the relaxing atmosphere, this restaurant is a gem of Niagara street and I couldn't recommend it enough! read more

I like the food but the service has been pretty bad lately- You're much better off ordering from door dash and eating in the parking lot. The online and delivery orders are pretty much all they pay attention to so you're left sitting at a table essentially getting in the way of their online business. Thats fine if you want to be online only- but don't be open for business and leave people sitting at the tables totally ignored. The mango roll and the sweet potato roll are delicious. The black rice salad is delicious, but those are all things that I can order through takeout, which I will be doing from now on. read more

Oh man. I am not sure what has happened in recent months. I went with my roommate after seeing raving reviews and also have food from their food truck some time ago. I have to say, I should have listened to my instinct when we arrived and it was almost empty during prime dinner time. I ordered the date night sushi combo (two rolls is enough for one person- please) and the pad see ew. Both not very good at all. The noodles were bland and the beef was chewy. It did not help that while we were eating a long time patron came in and specifically complained about how this was his go-to place for pad thai and that now it is horrible. My sushi was okay but not what I wanted it to be. Perhaps that was my fault. I just was overwhelmed by the consistancy and the price. I walked out paying over $20 with a tip for two non-specialty rolls. We were both really unimpressed and left pretty confused. I hope this restaurant returns to what people once boasted about. Buffalo has such an amazing selection of Thai and Burmese cuisine. read more

The Sun Cuisines in Williamsville has been my favourite sushi place in Buffalo for years and it somehow took me this long to visit the Black Rock location (I did order delivery from here once though). I came here last weekend while having a hankering for some sweet potato rolls and luckily the restaurant wasn't packed when I got here. The place itself isn't quite as nice as the Williamsville location but is still nice enough and has a friendly staff. Although deciding was tough I ended up ordering a sweet potato roll and a seared beef roll for dinner (a decision I would not regret!). The food didn't take too long to come out and before I knew it I was overwhelmed the choice of what roll to eat first. The sweet potato roll was top notch and easily one of the best I've had (the Burmese black rice totally makes a difference). The seared beef roll was also very good, and although they were definitely falling apart I'm assuming that has to do with the weight of the rolls? I'm just guessing but either way it doesn't take away from how good they were. Overall, Sun Cuisines is a top notch establishment offering top notch options for Burmese and Thai dishes that will not leave you unsatisfied. I highly recommend checking this place out if you haven't yet! read more
