I went with the whole family tonight and everyone enjoyed their experience. We started with the golden fried squid and the soft shell crab. The fried squid was okay, nothing special. The crab though was amazing! My daughter who doesn't normally eat crustaceans tried a little but then could have finished the whole plate if we let her! Yikes! Leave some for the rest of us! For our entrees: seafood Burmese flat noodle, Pad see ew, roast duck egg noodle soup, Sun Pod and spicy rolls and our 6 year old had the Bangkok combo from the kids menu. The flat noodle was spicy which I love and this definitely had a kick that lingers. I loved it! i personally did not try the Pad See Ew, but my daughter enjoyed it. The other daughter had the duck soup and commented on how soothing it was on a cold day like today. I think she wished there was more noodles. I don't enjoy duck much so I did not try this. The sun pod and the spicy rolls were ok. I think I still have to get used to the black rice bit. It probably is much healthier for you than the white rice but hey, I'm used to the sweet rice sushi and it took me a while to appreciate that so I will give black rice time. The 6 yr Olds combo was nice-large portion! He loved the steamed dumplings and wanted more. Too bad! He had to have some of the chicken pad thai- nothing special there. For dessert: taro custard, green tea ice cream, red bean ice cream. We all devoured the custard and will definitely get it again, as well the green tea ice cream. The red bean however was freezer burnt and needed to be returned and replaced with a fresh one-then it was gone as well!! We will be returning! read more

What a treat- truly different asian cuisine here, with black rice sushi!!! The items on the menu are familiar but have a twist, so you can get familiar kinds of dishes but wth a new take or a different or unexpected ingredient or presentation. The quality of the food was top notch, and the service was just as good. I was there for a late lunch with a friend, and it was not incredibly busy so we have a nice quiet meal, and were able to take our time and enjoy everything we (over)ordered! This was one of my favorite sushi experiences in Buffalo, and I can't wait to go back. read more

Absolutely loved it! We were spending a night in Buffalo on our way to Massachusetts and looked up good places to eat. I read all the good reviews and I'm so happy we chose to come here! The food was excellent and well priced, and the staff was extremely attentive and friendly. Casual setting and pretty busy for dinner. We came right before the rush but if you plan on eating dinner making a reservation would be a good idea. We ordered dumplings as an appetizer and chicken pad Thai for our entree. Great portions and the food came out very quickly. The crispy bananas are to die for! read more

LOVE the speciality sushi, integrated menu, pricing, selection, and service! I have never had "black" sushi until this place and now, I don't know if I can go back!!! In my opinion, the texture is better than regular "white" sushi. Their thai iced tea is not too sweet and the right amount of milk. My fav is their mango and garden roll. (Have a deal if you want to get both for $10.50) It has chili sauce which adds little more character to the basic veggie sushi you can find anywhere. Wide variety of thai dishes and alcohol selection from saki, wine and beer. Also, a cute little gem for social events and for date night! read more

Always come here for lunch, because dinner time is too crowded here. Sushi rolls are good. My favorite dish is Burmese chicken curry with the crispy, warm pancake. Burmese milk tea is super good for winter!!! read more

Food and service good. Pad Thai and fried rice tasty. Unfortunately my Sushi burrito was delivered incorrectly. I wanted salmon and mango but got tofu. It was good. But really wanted my salmon. Maybe another time. read more

Would have been 5 stars if everything came out at the same time. Half the table got their food first and the other half waited an additional 15 minutes before their food arrived. Food was good though. read more

This place is as good as it's been touted! My family and I loved it! Classy interior, good service, and delicious food. There are so many options and none of them have been bad. I got the Burmese fried rice and my parents got General Tso's and Sesame chicken. We also got the pork spring rolls which were amazing. The General Tso's chicken is a little spicier than the stereotypical kind you have at Americanized locations. Overall a good experience and an interesting location. read more

We discovered this hidden gem of buffalo during our weekend trip to Niagara falls. We were hungry and looking for a good place to eat, you what I mean by good in that area. Glad we came by this on Yelp! Place has good parking space. Ambience is casual. Their Thai Iced tea and Avocado Smoothie was really nice. Appetizers, avocafo maki and dumplings were meh but their Burmese stir fries noodles and Penang Curry was good. Staff is polite and owner checks with you a couple if times too about food. read more

Sun Cuisines - Thai Ice tea and Avocado Smoothie.. - Thai Near Me - Buffalo, New York

This is my favorite restaurant in Buffalo. Owned by Burmese people, it is authentic and delicious. The Pumpkin Stew (available in a vegetarian option, chicken, pork or seafood) is out of this world!!! The sushi is all in black rice which is different but outstanding. They offer the classic staples: tuna, salmon, yellowtail. They have sashimi if you'd prefer to avoid the black rice. They also have larger, special rolls with tempura and a variety of add ins. Their menu is huge. They have not just Burmese but Thai food as well. The classic pad Thai option is included. Tip: ask for hot green tea (it's free). The service is polite and fast and attentive. Parking is available in their free lot. It gets busy on Friday and Saturday nights so call ahead. They used to do a $5 sushi and saki special on Thursday nights but that has stopped. Bring it back!!!! read more

I am obsessed with the sun. They have Thai, Japanese, and Burmese food and it is all SO GOOD. The black rice sushi is also delicious (and so pretty)!! My favorite things to order are the spider roll, spicy salmon roll, and the Thai red curry chicken. The Thai iced coffee is also really good. I have tried a lot off their menu and have never been disappointed. Last night I tried their spicy miso ramen and green tea ice cream - both were very tasty. Would absolutely recommend! read more

We absolutely love this place. Fabulous food. Best in Buffalo. Tried whole fried snapper or sea food medley with soft shell crabs. Waitstaff read more

This stuff is delicious! Well worth the journey where ever you drive from. City food can't be beat! Great job!!!

Love love loved my experience here. The service was amazing. The Burmese food is authentic and tasty. I really doubted how good it will be when my family picked this place, but now I can't wait until I'm back on the East Coast. Own No Koksware - It was my favorite dish growing up so I'm extra picky about it. This is probably one of my favorites bowls ever, it was a little sweeter than I would like, but man I wish I had some right now. Nan Gyi Thoat was very satisfying Kat Kyay Kite is so good. I totally get the hype. I wish I had one to take home. I'll be recommending this place to all my friends who visit the area read more

Really great food. Also very fast service. We got the Tea Leaf Salad, Beef Curry and Coconut Shrimp. The tea leaf salad was a bit stronger than I was used to but still really good. I loved the coconut shrimp. The beef curry was quite spicy and big portion. I would have liked the beef to be a bit more tender/juicey. Overall really great spot for your Burmese/Thai needs :) read more

Disappointed they didn't let me use the "check in" for free sticky mango rice. You have to dine in to use it.

Sun cuisine is one of my all time favorite places to order from! Their vegan options are on point and their service is prompt and delicious every time. I've never ate sushi before I went vegan but their mango roll black rice sushi is so delicious. Another favorite is the fresh spring rolls. read more

My favorite Thai restaurant! Amazing restaurant that accommodates your needs. Since I am vegetarian I prefer my fried rice without eggs. SUN did just that and fried the tofu just the way I requested. It all tasted delicious. Hubby orders pad Thai which is always leaves him satisfied. Last night, he had the spicy chicken (chef special) and it was just perfect. If you love sushi go for their black rice bar options, you won't regret it. *Vegan and vegetarian options *Romantic *Parking read more

Great food, service, atmosphere, I will definitely be going back and the price was right

We're usually fans of this restaurant but tonight was simply horrid. When asked why there were no scallops in my Pad Thai, when I paid to have them included, I was told "because they're very expensive". Back and forth about yes, I know they're expensive, thats why I paid extra. Back and forth a few times before I just gave up and ate it without any 'meat'. My friend said his order was inedible it was so bad. We usually love Sun Restaurant, but this experience has left me with a bitter taste in my mouth...but no scallops. I'll take my business elsewhere. Delivery through Grub hub was great, though! read more

Came here with my friends because I was craving their deep fried whole fish. All of my friends ordered the Burmese version of Pad Thai (I forgot what it's called) and they said it tasted pretty good. My fish, however, was way better than their Burmese version of Pad Thai. It was crispy, not over cooked, and not greasy. We also ordered an appetizer platter to share, it was delicious. The only reason I am giving them a 4 stars instead of 5 is because the server brought us the check before we finished eating and I think that was rude. read more

This might be everyone's favourite place and it's easy to understand why that is. The servers are very kind and patient. Since I'm the worst at making decisions, especially concerning food, I'm sure our waitress was amused by me ordering everything that had coconut in it in some form. The flavours are well balanced and the portions are perfect, except that I would like them to be even bigger now since I was able to finish my plates with extraordinary alacrity. Try everything is probably the best suggestion. I would love to have black rice in everything everyday from now on. And coconut in everything as well. They were at Yelp Without Borders and they were easily my favourite choice for the night. This place just makes everything wonderful from black rice pudding to black rice sushi. And have the Thai iced tea. Prost! read more

The entire staff of this incredible Burmese restaurant likes to provide "southern" pleasures to dining guests, if you know what I mean. This went on under the radar (and indeed, under the table), for many years, until it was "exposed", so to speak, by Elton John... and later George Michael too. They were tired of receiving lacklustre "southern extras" from the staff here, so they decided they did not want any more southern pleasures accompanying their meals here. However, the staff continued performing these additional services, even when Elton and George asked for them to be left out. Prompting Elton (and later George), to write and record a song warning the staff not to perform such southern pleasures. The title of the song: "Don't Let The Sun (Employees) Go Down On Me". It seemed to work, because of all the times I have been here, I have never enjoyed southern pleasures, and so can only assume that Elton and then George were the final, ahem, proverbial, "nails", in the coffin of those under-the-table extras. What to get: Burmese Beef Curry. The Eggplant Dish. So now on to the food itself. Sun is one of the best restaurants in Western NY, and it's also probably the best Burmese food you will ever try. I've had Burmese a couple of other places, although it's quite hard to find. Bizarrely, there is some Burmese inside the West Size "Bizarre", but this particular Burmese is the winner... by a mile. It also has an extensive Thai menu too, which is excellent. But the Burmese food here is absolutely off the charts delicious. The two dishes that I love the most are the beef curry (I forgot the name, it's spicy and delicious), and the eggplant dish (which is orgasmically perfect and by far my favourite). But everything they serve here is excellent. Burmese is a cross between Indian and Thai, perhaps, but it's so damn good. I don't usually like East Asian food, but I make an exception for the wonderful food at Sun. So bring everyone you know, rain or (Sun) shine, bring your family, your daughter, your Sun, don't even let a Sun-ami stop you, that's how good the food is. In your hurry to get here, don't forget to fill up with gas, I'd hate for you to run out. There's a Sun-oco nearby. Anyway I think I've Sun-g the praises of this place for long enough for one day, but maybe I'll write another review of this place on Sun-day. Now let's spread the word to all and sun-dry. Even if the place is closed down right now ('sun-der investigation for the optional extras which Elton John exposed. So to speak.) read more

Soo delicious:) Just got in from a flight from Florida and NEEDED some food after being tired all day. As a vegan, there were so many options and the food was super good!! Would definitely try again read more

This is a VERY difficult review for me to write. No.... my keyboard isn't on the fritz...... and, no....I'm not at a loss for words (NEVER!). It's just that it's difficult to write something fair and objective when you KNOW it's good, even though you didn't particularly like it. Let me explain. I went here last night for dinner with my "Taste of Diversity Group". Yeah, I know.... how COOL am I? Ten of us shared a meal in this newly renovated gem. Gone is the grocery store I'd heard about.... and in its place are lots more tables and booths. Which is good because it's quite the popular place. The owners are very friendly, so I'm happy to see that they are doing well. "Sun Food Market" serves Burmese and Thai cuisines. Since I've never had Burmese food I decided to order from that part of the menu. For the rest of you who, like me, have no idea what Burmese food is like, I'll tell you.... it's kind of a cross between Thai food and Indian food (both of which I LOVE) with a little Japanese flavoring mixed in too. And, that was the problem for me. While Thai and Indian are two of my FAVORITE cuisines, I'm not a fan of Japanese food. That kind of fishy, kind of soy-ish, kind of udon-y, kind of miso-y flavor. Just not my thing. It's good that I dined with nine other people who knew more about this kind of food and could appreciate it's quality and taste more than I could. While I found my Nan Gyi Thoat (Burmese big rice noodles with spicy tomato sauce, eggs, split yellow peas, crispy flat noodles, fried onions, and chicken) un-finishable (a rarity for me, to be sure).... the others at the table ate with gusto.... oooo-ing and aaah-ing as they wiped their plates clean. So this restaurant rating will be based on the average of their opinions and mine. And, what you may ask, did they order? Fried Spring Rolls, Steamed Dumplings, Tom Yum Soup, Ky it Thar Alpo Hon (Burmese style curry mixed with Marsala, chicken, potato, onion, ginger, garlic, and chili), Thiamine Jaw (Burmese style fried rice), Mont Hon Gar (Burmese style fish noodle soup), Pad Thai, Yak Don (stir fried Japanese Don with carrot, cabbage, zucchini, bell pepper, and special thick soy sauce), and even a crispy whole fish. And, everyone (except me) LOVED what they got. Heck, they talked about coming back SOON as I stirred around my noodles making up stories about having eaten a very big lunch (ummmm.... it was a yogurt and 5 strawberries, to tell the truth). Anyway.... the service was good. The water (while not iced) had a yummy lime taste to it.... and it was refilled frequently without reminders. And the desserts: Sticky Rice with Thai Custard, Taro Custard, and Steamed Banana Rice were all AMAZING! I was afraid to order my own, but my kind table-mates allowed me to sample theirs (REPEATEDLY!!!).... even though I didn't finish my dinner. read more

My friends and I have had Sun on our food bucket list since December and we finally got a chance to go today. The hype this place gets is completely deserved. Parking first was great because they have there own parking lot so you don't have to roll up and down the street for an open spot. Our waiter was good, not too overbearing but out drinks were never empty. the interior is dark but the design is very nice. We ordered the Thai tea which was very good and I started off with the Eel Sun pod which is basically eel sushi with black rice. I'm disappointed that I didn't order more as the eel was very tender and there was a great sauce on it. For appetizers we shared the Golden Squid Rings which is basically calamari and it looks like the "special sauce" was sriracha and ketchup? This was probably the least favorite as the rest of our food was very good. The squid was cooked nicely but I wished that there was some acidity to the sauce like you'd get from sweet chili lime that you get at many Asian restaurants. I ordered the Burmese Flat Wide Noodle (Kat Kyay Kite) which is a Traditional Southern Burmese flat wide noodle with hot and sour sauce, scallion, garlic, vatana bean, and bean sprout. It was spicy and the flavors and noodles were cooked just right. Very, very happy with this dish. My friends also got the Beef Curry (Amare Thar Hin) which is slow roasted Burmese curry mixed with star anise, tender lean ribeye beef, ginger, garlic, onion and chili. Reminds me of slow braised beef but wow this is so tender and juicy. The sauce was more like au jus and not like the usual thicker sauce found in Indian and Thai curries. Whatever they want to call this dish, I call it delicious! Lastly my other friend got the beef fried rice which was good, but nothing that you can't find elsewhere. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes as this place for sure a place everyone needs to try. read more

FINALLY got to Sun for the first time a couple weeks ago. Amazing Burmese & Thai food - this place truly lives up to its stellar reputation regarding food AND service. Wait staff was patient with us & explained dishes in great detail (even recommending that someone NOT order a certain dish because he felt it would be too spicy for her palate - much appreciated!) What a wonderfully enjoyable & affordable meal! I tried so many different items (between my own dishes & helping myself to everyone else's) so I'm just going to list them all: Chicken Curry with Paratha: Multi-layered, flaky texture bread served with our slow roasted Burmese chicken curry sauce for dipping. VERY yummy starter; there were 4 of us so we paid $3 extra for another paratha, which is basically a cross between a pancake & pita. 4 different maki rolls made with black rice - ALL were amazing. The one with lobster on top was my fave - succulent & sweet. Chicken Coconut Noodle Soup (Own No Koksware): Burmese chicken egg noodle soup with coconut milk, turmeric, boiled egg, onion,and crispy flat noodles. I had a small spoonful of friend's soup & I will order this next time I go for sure. The 1 minor disappointment - mango chicken. It was fine, but hotter than friends thought it would be when they ordered it; also, it was served on the dry side - I prefer a saucier dish. Pineapple Boat: Black & Wide Fried Rice, pineapple, scallop, shrimp, squid, pea carrot, egg, red pepper, asparagus,and scallion. This was AWESOME! Not much spice though - on the sweeter side. We shared a bunch of rice desserts & they were all fabulous. The Sticky Rice with Thai Custard was very uniqoe & completely unexpected - delicious. I wouldn't say the place is "kid freindly" but I would take my well-behaved & food-adventurous 4 year old there for sure. I'm sure my husband could find something he likes as well, considering all the spicy options they have. I cannot WAIT to go back!!!! read more

When we moved up here from NYC we were told by some Buffalonians that you have to go all the way to Toronto to find good Asian food. Well I can confidently say they were wrong. Sun Restaurant is the real deal. We ordered a bunch of stuff and it was all good. Beef Curry (Burmese)- Tender braised beef in a dark curry sauce. served with rice. if you are in the mood for something meaty you'll like this. Children's Pad Thai (Thai) Really good we were surprised that the portion was so big for a Kids menu. It came with a few dumplings and a soda. Pretty good deal for $6. Catfish Chowder (Burmese)- This was my dish and i really enjoyed it. it was topped with fried garlic bits and a fish cake. I was expecting to find chunks of Catfish in it but i think it was ground into the broth. The broth was rich and full of deep flavor. There were a ton of vegetables and the portion was huge. Served with a crispy lentil cracker. Chicken Curry with Paratha (Burmese) This is basically like roti with a fried pancake. The curry was really great. but i found the pancake to be overly greasy. Sun Combination Platter We got this because my kids were begging for something fried and so this was ordered. This was the 1 dish that i would say was alright but would probably not order again. Some of it was really good. like the somosa and the squid rings but the fried gourd didn't really work for me. also the dumplings were just alright. Red Curry (Thai)- Standard Thai Red curry very flavorful and smooth coconut flavor. Not really much heat but it was still good. It was a bright pink color which is not what i am used to but, it still tasted great. Eel Roll (black rice sushi)- Standard Eel roll but made with black rice rather than sushi rice. I found the rice to be a little hard for maki but i overall not bad. Black Rice Salad- this is a sweet salad that plays mainly on texture i think. There is the crispness of the fresh fruit that sits on a bed of red lettuce that sits on top of some black rice that is coated in a sweet sauce. The description says that this is the dish that made them famous. I could see why. Burmese flat wide noodles- a bit on the spicy side, but really good nonetheless. I only had a couple of bites of this but it was very good. We had a great time here, the wait staff was accommodating and friendly. we will be back. read more

March 1, 2012 Dear Yelp: Over the years you have served me well when I'm in foreign lands (like Cleveland) allowing me to dine at the finest local restaurants as supported by your reviewers. However, as a result of my hubris I never imagined I would be utilizing your services in my own home town, the Mighty Buffalo New York!! I bragged of my knowledge of the hot spots, hidden gems, and the places to avoid, claiming I had an "encyclopaedic like knowledge" of the local restaurant scene. Dearest Yelp, you have succeeded in deflating my ego because without you I would have NEVER found out about the Sun Food Market and the delight of Burmese Cuisine. Reading consistently high reviews for this hole in the wall in Riverside located in the back of a market I could not resist going. Furthermore, the lull of Burmese cuisine (of which I had no familiarity) was like a tractor beam to my soul. With my girlfriend in hand, I traipsed to Riverside and indulged in the menu. While my girlfriend insisted we order the Spring Rolls (or suffer her wrath) I also tacked on the Burmese Chicken Curry with Prata. While the spring rolls were excellent the Curry sang to my inner ethnocuisinologist demonstrating an amazing fusion between Indian and Burmese Cuisine. The Prata (flat bread) was similar to lacha paratha, but I'm assuming made out of rice and fried in coconut oil...the flavors were so tropical. But the chicken curry...oh it made my cry with delight with its Indian spice and slow roasted shredded chicken...just beautiful. Your reviewers all strongly recommended the Ginn Thoat (a peanut and tea leaf salad). I expected a stronger tea flavor, instead the leaves were almost salty and fermented like...reminiscent of a black olive. Overall, very enjoyable. For entrees we indulged in the Kya Zan Jyaw (similar to pad thai but made with tiny rice noodles) and Own No Kokswar. While the Kya Zan was quite excellent and the rice noodles were far superior to pad thai noodles the Own No was my favorite dish. Own No Kokswar is Tom Kha soup meets chicken noodle soup. This is Burmese comfort food at its very best. Picture moms rich chicken stock mixed with coconut milk, thick and chewy Burmese egg noodles and hard boiled eggs. This dish sealed the deal for me...I will be back...oh yes I will be back. Thank you Yelp for cutting my ego down to size and introducing me to yet another hidden gem in the Queen City. Sincerely Yours, Joseph "Momofugu" L. read more

Umm...OMG writing this review is already making my mouth drool. Thank You Yelp for helping me find this place. Sun Restaurant is like this amazing restaurant that has made me since fall in love with Burmese Food. If i drove past this restaurant, I wouldn't even think twice about going, but thanks to Yelpers and their reviews, I gave it a shot. Before I go any further.. I LOVE YOU SUN RESTAURANT! Staff/Service (5): The waiter made some really great recommendations and was extremely nice and helpful. He was also very patient in waiting for us to order. Le Peth Thoat (5+): If a rating of 10 exists in Yelp, that's what this dish is. It's an authentic Burmese salad that has tea leaf, peanuts, and lime juice. I don't care if you're allergic to peanuts or not, you take that benadryl and try this salad! I was very hesitant to order it but since our Burmese friend texted us and insist we try it , we did. It has a bit of sourness to it but it is soooo refreshing and a perfect start to a perfect meal. I have been craving this dish and am dying to try to make it on my own. If you don't read any further on my review, it's okay... just know that THIS IS A MUST ORDER. Kat Kyay Kite (4): Good good good! I would totally give this dish a 5 but just to make it obvious how GOOD the salad above (Le Peth Thoat) is, I gave this dish a 4. If you've had Chinese beef chow fun, I think it's a bit similar but just a bit more sour and spicy. Lemongrass Fish (5): My mouth was on FIRE when I ate this dish because it was that freaking spicy. But despite that, I couldn't put my chopsticks down because the sauce and fish together was just too damn good that it was only okay to continue torturing my spiced up tongue. The fish is a fried a bit but you dip (or pour) the lemongrass sauce over it and eat it with rice. The sauce is what really makes this dish stands it.. I couldn't even tell you what's in this sauce except that there's lemongrass (i would think). Nonetheless, if you eat fish, get it. Sun restaurant, I'm sorry for doubting you when I saw your storefront. But you taught me that I really should not judge a book by it's cover (or a restaurant by its location/looks).. read more

How did I feel when eating my first meal at Sun? I picture myself galavanting through an open meadow, singing Burt Bacharach, with not a care in the world. Out of this world, crazy delicious! I've had dreams where I'm debating with myself on what to order next... I had heard rumblings about how amazing Sun is for a long time, and finally dined in a few weeks ago. The menu was almost overwhelming at first, because there were just so many options that sounded good to me, it was hard to decide. I opted for their black rice sushi roll with raw salmon, avocado, cream cheese and spicy sauce, rolled up with seared salmon, scallions, crispy shallots and sweet soy sauce...it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. My boyfriend ordered the pad thai with roast duck, which was so flavorful and heavenly, I found my fork wandering over to his plate multiple times throughout our meal. To top it all off, the service was top notch. Thankfully I work very close to Sun, so I will most definitely be exploring their lunch menu very soon! YUM. read more

I've been to Sun a few times now, and everytime has been delicious. They have definitely changed since I started going there. For starters, they never used to have English names for their foods... leading to lots of butchering of food names. Secondly, their business has gotten so much busier with each visit. This past Friday, there was not 1 open table during most of our time here! For the food: There is a dish I have gotten twice in the past that I really can't remember what it was called... I *think* it was the Nan Gyi Thoat (Rice Noodles with Chicken Curry Sauce). Either way, the dish is I loved was chicken simmered in delicious spice over rice noodles and served with a bowl of nondescript broth -- you are supposed to put the noodles into the broth and make a soup. If anyone can confirm or deny this, please let me know so I can edit this! This past Friday I got the Burmese flat wide noodle. It said spicy on the menu, and my tolerance is not very good for spicy food, but it had a perfect amount of heat. The star of the meal, however, was the black mango sticky rice that I ordered for dessert. So many reviews here mention the black rice. Looking at the entrees, however, I wasn't thrilled because I don't eat sushi (it's a consistency thing), so I was saddened to see that many of the dishes were sushi or seafood. I decided upon getting this dessert... and I am so glad I did! The rice was so sweet paired with the mango and fresh strawberry. It wasn't very sticky at all -- just delicious! I wolfed down the whole plate in minutes, and wished I had another one! The service on the most recent trip was slow, but that's understandable because it was a full house. In other trips, its much quicker and also much more dead. The service is friendly and the owner is a very sweet lady, jokingly asking us if we were both 21 when she explained the alcohol to us. Overall, this is my favorite Asian restaurant in the city, and I love love LOVE having Burmese cuisine as an option. Good job, Sun Restaurant! You guys deserve all the love you get from us here on Yelp!!!! read more

I LOVE this place! The salads are spectacular. Especially the Papaya, the Ginger and the Tea Leaf. The first time I went they added chilis in the salad and it was way too spicy for me. Now they have the chilies to the side so you can add them yourself. Just enough spice without destroying your palate for the other dishes. Everything I have had has been wonderful, but if you are expecting something that tastes like Chinese you are going to be surprised. The flavors are definitely different. The use of dried, fried chick peas in the salads is so interesting, and they ground them as a thickening agent for a few of the soups. Ask for coconut rice on the side - it isn't on their regular menu but maybe if enough people request it, they will make the add. I can't say enough good things about the place. My only beef is that when we went in last time, there was a strong smell of cleaning products, which I suppose is a good sign - the restaurant is spotless - but the smell kinda turns the stomach. read more

Phenomenal Thai food. Excellent service . Would definitely recommend this place. AAA+++

WHOA. What a find....and in all places, BUFFALO! We've stopped here twice now (in the last few months), while we're in Buffalo. Delicious burmese food? Why yes! I'll take it! They have a large variety of foods- ranging from Burmese to Thai, to their black rice sushi (still haven't tried it, but it looks interesting), and the restaurant is just always packed. We've enjoyed all the food we've had- and we've enjoyed it immensely. Delicious dishes that we've had include: - The Tea Leaf Salad- crisp, light, refreshing- and we enjoyed the crispy chana del pea. - Beef Curry *GET THIS!!!!*- it was slow cooked and so tender- the meat was so flavorful and I wished we could get that dish every night. We even went home and tried to make it (didn't come close to how good it was at Sun though!) - Catfish Chowder- the broth was packed full of different flavors, with various fish pieces in the soup. It was an absolutely delicious soup. - Rice noodles with Chicken Curry Sauce- this was good, although it slightly reminded us of spaghetti. haha. - Burmese wide noodle (Kat Kyay Kite)- this noodle dish was delicious, but it was HOT. My poor heat intolerance couldn't stand too many bites of this dish- but I still found it was delicious (I was definitely sweating near the end of it). Every time we go to Toronto or upstate New York, Sun has become an absolute dinner stop for us. It's that good and the way they cook is just so home cooked style like, how can you not stop? Plus, it's right off the free way too. If you're in Buffalo, Sun is a great place to stop for some tasty Burmese food! **edit: don't get the sushi- it kind of sucks and isn't fresh. Stick to the Burmese food.** read more

THANK YOU YELP FOR HELPING US FIND THIS MAGICAL PLACE. Stopped here on the way to Niagara Falls, and it was an amazing lunch. Perfect lunch portions, tasty food, and great price. The soup was really good (a little spicy but nothing you can't handle!) and the pad see u noodle dish was delicious. The noodles were perfectly cooked and everything was so well seasoned. If you are in the area you must stop here or you're doing it wrong. read more

The place is very busy so I recommend everyone make reservations! The area isn't very nice, neither is the outside of the restaurant. The inside however is completely different. It's a beautiful sit in place with great atmosphere. I ordered sushi and dessert. The quality of the fish was great. I did not enjoy the rice much because it was too sweet. I threw away about half the amount of rice. It was starting to overwhelm the fish. The mango in the rolls were different. It was refreshing and sweet but all went well together. The entrees that were coming out of the kitchen did look extremely appetizing so I will be going back to try that. read more

My girlfriend and I had heard about this place on Yelp and from some friends, so we decided to try it out for lunch. We went on a weekday afternoon and were the only ones there, so we were seated promptly and had very attentive service. It is decorated in traditional Burmese decor, which enhanced the experience. You could tell it was a family-run business, and it's always great to support local businesses. We ordered 3 sushi rolls (mango roll, green garden roll, spicy grilled shrimp roll) and a traditional Burmese noodle dish recommended by the server (kat kyay kite). We were excited to see that the sushi was made with black rice, something we haven't seen in Buffalo yet. All of the rolls were great, the spicy grilled shrimp having the most flavor. And the Burmese dish was wonderful, similar in style to Thai noodle dishes I've had in the past. All in all, a great experience, can't wait to try it out for dinner, and possibly the bird's nest soup if I'm feeling adventurous! read more
