I came here on Saturday at 7 with my girlfriend and we called and made reservations on Thursday. We were seated immediately up near the black-rice bar. The tables are close together, but not too close. But given this proximity it was a little too warm for my comfort level for a dining experience I have been eagerly anticipating. Our waitress greeted us and asked us for our drink order. I scanned the menu but alas no drinks listed. Luckily their beers were conveniently displayed over the sushi bar. I ordered a Sappora and surprise surprise she ordered a Pinot Grigio. She came back very quickly with our drinks and took our food order. We ordered a little of everything as we wanted to try a taste from each region of their menu. For apps we split a Spicy Tuna Roll which was presented beautifully (see picture), tasted fresh, and has the perfect amount of flavor. We also split an order of the spring rolls which clearly were made to order as we had to wait about 10 minutes for them to cool down before we ate them. These were probably my favorite part of the meal; deep fried to perfection with delicious fillings inside complimented by a delicious chili sauce to dip in. Our entrees came out approximately 2 minutes after our apps: She order the Kat Kyay Kite and I ordered the Amare Thar Hin (Beef Curry (yes I googled the correct spelling)). Her Burmese version of Pad Thai was frigging amazing! The perfect amount of spice for me (maybe too spicy for others) with delicious standard compliments. My beef curry was honestly nothing special. To me it reminded me of pot roast with some curry added to the gravy. Some of the pieces of beef were perfectly tender while others I wish I had a knife (which they don't provide at the table) to cut them as they were a little tougher. Overall I really really wanted to give this place 5 stars but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I understand how some people may think this is worthy of 5-stars, and maybe it was just what I ordered that I felt brought the rating down. Either way I will be back in the near future to try some more Thai/Burmese delicacies and MAYBE my rating will get bumped to 5 stars in the near future. read more

Sun Cuisines - Spicy Tuna Roll - Thai Near Me - Buffalo, New York

This place is a gem! Delicious food and an attentive staff. The prices are right and the location is just a quick turn off the 190. All of their rolls are delicious, but my favorite is the lobster roll. It has a full cooked lobster tail on top of the black rice roll. The sauces that come with it are hot, spicy and AMAZING! Please note that if you order this roll, it takes longer to get to the table, it's worth the wait, but know it takes longer than their uncooked rolls ;) You can't go wrong with any of the entrees. My favorite is the Thai Basil Chicken and rice! The restaurant has a nice dining room! It's casual, they have tables or booths! read more

A few years ago, during this restaurant's modest beginnings, I easily would have rated them a 5. The past few times however have been much of a let down. In all honesty, I order the same thing every time, the seafood in a clay pot. I specifically go here for that dish because it used to be so good. The last few times however, whereas it used to be served boiling hot and extra spicy (like I like it), it was hardly above room temperature, bland, and flavorless. I won't mention the poor service (that was never their strong point but overlooked due to how good the food was), but forgetting to serve the side of rice with the meal? How does that happen? And no redeeming effort following the mistake. I'm writing this review in hopes of bringing Sun restaurant's ego down a notch so they realize that they can't get by on reputation alone. They should return to their roots and focus on quality, flavorful food, rather than focusing their efforts on being labeled "best restaurant in buffalo" by a forgettable source... read more

I wish I could give Sun 4.5 stars! Positives: +Chicken curry with prata - Chicken curry was delicious! It is closer to an Indian curry. +Tom yum chicken - Nice balance between hot and sour. +Samusas - Crispy shell and slightly spicy potatoes inside. +Pumpkin curry with chicken (Shwe Payon Thi Hin) - A study on how to make a mild dish be chock full of flavour. The pumpkin was fork tender. It was a very different type of curry - light and not at all overwhelming. + When I asked for something to be spicy, it was actually spicy! On the fence: Tomato Nga Pi Git (with chicken) - I am torn about this. I love dried shrimp but it was just a little too much in this dish. If there was a side of pineapple cucumber salad or something bright and fruity to balance it out, it would have been perfect. I wouldn't recommend this dish if you are iffy about slightly fishy flavours. However, I did end up demolishing my leftovers for lunch the next day. Negatives: - It was cold in there...they really need to crank the heat up (we were seated in the area located to the right of the hostess stand). - Our server was extremely friendly and sincere but the other server's tables were getting their orders taken, food delivered and waters filled at a faster pace. It wasn't an issue for us but it might be if you are in a rush. - The Tom Yum soup was barely lukewarm. That kind of sucked given how cold it was in the restaurant but hey, at least it was delicious. - The prata was a let down. It was barely warm and I am 99% sure the prata was prepackaged. However, I think I was expecting too much here because pratas are hard to make from scratch. Hell, I only use the premade pratas. Next time, I will just get the Kyit Thar Aloo Hin so I can eat the delicious curry with their amazingly fragrant jasmine rice. The negatives are sort of nitpicks which goes to show how great the food really was. I cannot wait to come back here! P.S Random but did anyone else find the painting of the little girl looking in the mirror creepy? Maybe it is just me but the puppets/dolls were a little too creepy. No more horror movies for me. read more

Sun was a must visit for me, since this restaurant had so many great reviews and recommendations from friends. Even though my expectations were high, it didn't really matter in the end because this place exceeded them all! I walked in during an early evening dinner service on a weekday, and there were only a couple customers eating dinner. I was initially only going to order take out on my way home; however the restaurant felt quiet, peaceful, and Zen-like so I knew I had to stay for dinner. I decided to go with a drink, appetizer, and entree since I was starving and hadn't eaten anything for lunch. For my drink I went with the Thai iced tea - without the milk, and it made it really sweet, but I added water from the glass of water I received with the meal to balance out the sweetness....ahh perfect. For the appetizer: Samusa - fried Burmese ravioli with curry flavored potato. Served with a special sauce; a tangy sweet and sour plum sauce for dipping. Think Indian Samosas but lighter and crispier with just the curry and potatoes. For dinner I went right to the chef specials section of the menu and ordered the Yaki Udon noodle with shrimp - Hearty Japanese udon noodles in a thick soy sauce with carrots, zucchini, cabbage, bell pepper, and topped with green onion. And after having this I can say without a doubt the best Asian noodle dish I've had in Buffalo!...purely amazing! Even the friendly waitress said it was her favorite dish at Sun when she asked me how I enjoyed everything. read more

Sun Cuisines - Yaki Udon noodles with Shrimp. - Thai Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I've dined at Sun a handful of times, and ordered takeout. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. Prior to discovering this gem, I'd never eaten Burmese, and I've since only ordered from the Burmese portion of the menu. What I love about Burmese cuisine is that it's familiar and comfortable, yet somehow totally new. Flavors and textures marry everything I love about Thai and Indian cuisine, but with lots of new ingredients and spices. You won't be disappointed! read more

I can't love this place more. It was the first place I had to go when I came home for a visit. Their Thai iced tea is the best I've had anywhere and the black five sushi is great. They do this summer special with tuna and watermelon and it is literally the best thing I've ever eaten, no joke. Oh and don't forget dessert, you really can't go wrong with any of them. Highly highly recommend this place. read more

It always pains me to write reviews that aren't positive but I can only hope my review will be read and hopefully help make an impact. My friend and I LOVE Thai (I could eat it everyday) and we always pass by Sun on our way back from Lin so naturally we decided to give it a try. I am pretty big on reviews and while we were waiting to order I read the recent reviews, which did not give me much hope. Upon entering the restaurant there was an unpleasant smell that did seem to disappear after time, not sure if that is a permanent smell or what but it was enough to make my friend and I question that. We were seated and asked for a few minutes as I was torn on what to order, as a result of the reviews and pictures. Unfortunately, we were given more than just a few minutes and came to the point that we had to use body language and constant eye contact to try to signal the waitstaff that we were more than ready to order- something another Elite pointed out from a review posted a few days ago. That was already a turn off for me, and that sort of was a precedent for what I was about to experience. I went the safe way and ordered the Pad Se U one of my favorite dishes. I knew as soon as I saw my plate I wasn't going to be satisfied. There were hardly any vegetables, the beef was not tender and cut too thick and the noodles just were not right- they were over cooked and mushy and the dish lacked flavor. I have had my fair share of the dish elsewhere and was just really unhappy with paying a total of about $18 for that meal when it just wasn't worth it. A man at the table in front of us complained about his Pad Thai, he stated he had been coming to the restaurant since it opened and that this is not what he was expecting either and that it just wasn't right. It all left me with a very sour taste. I will not be going back. read more

A bit of a mixed bag: 5 stars for ambiance 4.5 stars for the menu, which was inventive to say the least, and clearly delineated the dishes that were gluten free or vegetarian. However, service was 2 stars at most--not because the servers were rude, but because they were incredibly poor listeners. My green curry became red curry, mango sushi without avocado was avocado filled. Language barriers may be the culprit but having to send back virtually everything I ordered wildly distracted from my dining experience. read more

I keep returning here and am impressed how they can grow their business and keep the quality so great. The family that owns it has a great great story and I couldn't be happier for their success. As for eating here, remember the owners are from Burma, so be sure to try some of those dishes, especially the salads. read more

Yep. My favorite place in the 716. Great entrees from around the world and delicious sushi a la carte. You honestly can't get a better meal on Main Street at the EXPO Market and it's beautiful design , in Williamsville or on Niagara St. Much mucho lovin read more

We really enjoyed our lunch here. Very nice decor and friendly service. The rolls and wraps were delicious, and you customize them on a check off sheet. We had the beef curry wrap and the mango and sweet potato rolls. Our kids customized their Pad See Ew. Highly recommend! read more

Black rice salad is a must. Their Black rice sushi is also a must. Take out is amazing and packaged very well. Highly recommend Sun!

Appetizers were quick, tasty, and not undersized. The black rice sushi menu was especially good. Free parking was nice, but perhaps not unusual in Buffalo. Their seasonal entrée was a pumpkin curry served in the shell - it was subtle yet flavorful. The location is very close to the interstate and definitely worth the short detour for anyone passing through the area. The waitress, Sierra, was quite knowledgable about the menu. Finally, bathrooms were clean. read more

Recently moved from Los Angeles to Buffalo and being a big fan of Southeast Asian food I started asking about restaurants in the area. Many people mentioned Sun and I went for dinner just before Christmas. I ordered Tom Yum soup, fresh spring rolls and Panang Curry. The Tom Yum soup, one of my all time favorites, was probably the best I've ever had. Everything was so delicious that I went back again bet Very ween Christmas and New Years. Mixed thing up a bit and again very delicious! Both of the owners, Stephanie and Kevin, checked in with me to see how my dinner was and I gave them a big thumbs uo! nice people, we chatted for a while about the restaurant, their wonderful food and my love for chile's and spicy food. I will be back again very soon! :) read more

Sun Cuisines - Loving the delicious food at Sun! - Thai Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Went there on Sunday. Amazed by their black rice menu. Really delicious black rice rolls. The Mango avocado roll, definitely classic, tastes amazing and the coconut shrimp roll, which is also great. The wide flat noodle tastes good but a little too spicy for me. And I don't really like noodles with sweet hot sauce but that's only personal preference. What I like the most is actually the dessert the black rice custard with mango and strawberry! It is a must have to me! read more

Sun Food, I love you so much. So dearly. I am so, so happy for this business. My first visit here was during the days when it was a shop with a little restaurant in the back, beckoning you to try their delicious food. Now they have expanded the restaurant, updated the seating and the lighting and even added a beautiful second entryway. Their food is always delicious. No matter what dishes I try I am never disappointed. My fiance and I even have a "tradition" of aiming to go to Sun Food on Sundays. The staff is always so sweet. My fiance and I went for dinner last night and it was their "grand opening" for the newly renovated restaurant. We went around 8 and there were so many tables full! It just shows how much more popular this place will continue to become. The story of the owners is inspiring. Burmese immigrants who worked at a Wegmans sushi counter before opening their own business. I love the food and the people here. You always see Stephanie, the part owner and wife of Kevin, the other owner, in the dining room. She's waited on us a few times. Always sweet and makes sure the customer is in mind. I hope you never go away and only continue to grow. Sun Food, you are awesome. read more

While I have had takeout from Sun a few times, this was my first time time actually eating in the restaurant. Even early on a Sunday night, there was quite a wait. I was surprised to learn that you can make reservations on their website. While others waited for a table, we were happy to sit at the bar and got seated right away. Unsurprisingly, with such a crowded restaurant it took quite a while for our food to arrive. But it was all delicious and well worth the wait. We had a little trouble figuring out the spiciness level and some things were spicy that we thought would be mild and some things were mild that we thought would be spicy, so you may want to clarify this with the waitress before. The tea leaf salad is amazing of course. We also enjoyed the chicken curry and the pad see u. We will be back! read more

Really loved this place. $40 covered 3 entrees and two appetizers that fed two adults and two kids with enough left over to cover a lunch the next day. I ordered to go and while waiting ordered the thai iced tea. The sip I managed to wrestle away from my five year old was delicious. Very sweet and I'm sure directly linked to his ability to stay up until the wee hours that evening. pad thai was great - very generous hunks of tofu. What really surprised me was the chinese dish my kids ordered. The sesame chicken was better than many chinese restaurants I've been to locally. Broccoli was fresh, large hunks of chicken that looked as good as they tasted. I also like the tea leaf salad, though was surprised at how spicy it was. not much on the front but it sneaks up on you. The space was being renovated when i walked in, but once you get to the tables in the back, it's sparse but pleasant. As it's not to far from my home, i'm sure i'll not only be back, but be a regular. read more

The best meal I've had in Buffalo. They have a newly renovated dining area and a parking lot right next to the building. Here are my recommendations: Eggplant Dish (so delicious, definitely a must have) Appt Sampler Burmese Chicken Curry Pumpkin Curry There menu is large, and a few things are misses that I would avoid (the thai pad kee mao which was bland and the sauce was too gravy looking and the burmese fish noodle soup was kindof odd and not tasty, also the tea leaf salad was interesting to try but not that tasty either). Overall the dishes I liked were hands down amazing, I feel like it's a place where you need to know what to order. I can't wait to go back and try a few of the other items. read more

Sun is my go to place for Burmese,Thai & Vietnamese cuisine. Tonight was the perfect cold rainy night to order Pho. The broth is rich & very complex. I strongly recommend trying it with the raw beef (shaved almost thin enough to see through). The beef melts in your mouth just moments after settling into the piping hot broth. Thai basil leaves, bean sprouts & jalapeño peppers come in the side to add more complex flavor added in to suit your taste. I like mine in the hot spicy side so a little Thai chili paste takes it up a notch or two. This place is a monthly must have. read more

I love Sun Restaurant!! They have very good and authentic Burmese food with very reasonable price. I just fall in love with Burmese food after I first tried Sun restaurant. The atmosphere over there is nice and I always feel welcomed. YOU WONT REGRET to try there!!! Personal Recommendations: 1. B7: Mont Hin Gar 2. Eggplant dish 3. Black bean sushi P.S I really really love pictures on their menu!!!!!!!!!!!!!XD read more

Once again through the advice of our fellow Yelpers we found ourselves in a wonderful little restaurant. Sun Restaurant is a bit out of the way for the average day trip to Buffalo but well worth the trek off the beaten path. From the outside you may not expect all that much, but once you step in the door you cant help but be impressed by the warm, tidy, modern interior. We were quickly greeted and seated in one of the booths despite only being a party of 2 and service was warm and quick. Now onto the food... The menu had a great selection of both meat and veggie dishes, a big plus always. The food was served quickly and was all very good and served in very large portions (enough for us to split all the dishes and we had left overs). Our order consisted of... broad noodles black rice mix veggie mango roll black rice yam...something roll panang curry (tofu and veg) crispy egg plant I dont know if we will try Sun's the next time we are in town but we will certainly be making a return visit and if you happen to be making a trip into Buffalo Id highly recommend checking this place out. read more

I don't normally stop and write reviews for restaurants - especially those I stop at for lunch. This was some of the best Chinese food I have found in the Niagara Falls area if not the best I have eaten in a long time. A wonderful mixture of Thai food with Chinese food accompanied by quality service and a clean friendly environment. Try the General Tso's chicken. - I have traveled all over and I have to say the chicken is the perfect blend of sweat but tangy sauce (perfect blend of flavor + the sauce was slightly sticky like finger licking good) - taste was amazing. You will not be disappointed Medium-sized sushi bar and they serve alcohol. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and I will return here before I leave for Texas. read more

Terrific Thai and Burmese food. I had a fast lunch yesterday afternoon. What a find! I had the Burmese flat noodles with chicken, an amazing moderately spicy dish. Miso soup to start. Hot green tea. The perfect lunch! read more

Amazing! Traveling in the area, and found this restaurant on Yelp! Thank you fellow "Yelpers"! Great food and service. As one review recommended the bulgogi rolls, I thought I'd try it-excellent! I also had their "special salad", with a base of warm black rice, greens, nuts, and mango, I could have just eaten 10 plates of this alone. It will be my favorite stand-by restaurant every time I'm in town from now on. read more

Pretty happy with my meal! I like the portion size. Not too big so I was able to eat everything. I went with the Burmese chicken curry. Nice flavor! No complaints. The mango and sticky rice was Delish! Very enjoyable. I'm glad I had room for it. The rice wasn't hard and did a good job picking up the flavor of the dish. They also make a killer Thai tea. Next time I go, I'm going to try the flat noodles. Glad I finally went. Can't comment on the authenticity of the food since I've never been to Burma. :) read more

While there are some more interesting items on the menu here, it wasn't quite as good as Taste of Siam. I started with the black rice salad, which was something I'd never had before. The waiter mentioned that the chopped tiny chiles (held off to the side of the dish) were quite hot, and man, he was right. Not to be trifled with. Otherwise, this was a unique combo. Kind of sweet, sticky black rice, with mango, cashews, peanuts, and other veggies. Be warned though, it's a HUGE serving. More than one person needs if you're also getting an entree. For my entree, I got the red curry with beef, which was good, but not great. The flavors were standard, and while it was a large serving, it was mostly broth. I'm totally happy eating broth with the rice, but I order these dishes mainly for the veggies, which there really weren't a ton of. So, it was tasty, but could have been a little bit better. The service was prompt and friendly (thanks for that chile warning - I love hot food, but whoa momma) and the price was reasonable. I'd say I would come back? But I ended up at Taste of Siam, and based on one visit each, I prefer Siam. read more

One thing I didn't about Buffalo is its large Burmese population, many of whom are recently immigrated refugees settled here by government agencies. They are a big enough presence to have as one can see driving by, a number of Burmese (as well as Thai) businesses set up around the working-class Black Rock and Riverside areas. One may even encounter public service billboards written with Burmese script around town. I challenge you to find that in 'multicultural' Toronto, never mind a Burmese restaurant! Anyways, Sun Restaurant came up as a highly rated and popular southeast Asian Buffalo eatery. A good choice for those a) seeking Asian cuisine, b) something outside of hip Allentown/Elmwood Village, and/or c) something that's not straight out of a Diners, Drive-ins and Dives episode because you want to step away from greasy Americana. Nicely done inside, they have their own parking lot and is very easy to reach if you get off I-190 northbound at the Austin St exit, 'cuz it's right there! Their menu is generally divided into Burmese and Thai dishes, and apparently they are famous in Buffalo for their take on sushi with black rice. We didn't go for that, but black rice came to the table anyways in the form of a salad that was a clusterbomb of textures and flavors, with the greens and said rice mixed with mangos, avocados, and various nuts and bits. There were a couple other things, including the coconut chicken noodle soup I had. If you can imagine a chicken noodle soup with coconut milk broth and thick flat rice noodles much like in pho, yeah it was comforting beyond belief. Service was much pleasant much like the seductive food. So good, apparently telling the manager things are great here isn't enough--they insist on you raving about your experience on Yelp, as a sign posted by the door at their dimly lit entrance encourage you to do. The cycle continues. read more

My neighbor, whom I share similar dining taste raved that this was her favorite Thai restaurant in all of Buffalo. Usually, I wait a few more times to go to review but I was really impressed with this place. Therefore, this review is from a dine in perspective: I have to say that the owners found the right combination with this place. It's a bit gimmicky to have the asian store up front, but it works and I love it. It just reminds me of where I come from. The asian infused suburbs of Southern California. Ha ha ha I don't know if that says much but I'll be sure to do the review justice. And it's a gem of a place considering its location. The area is a bit rough. But considering how annoyed I get finding good asian food in this area, I'm glad that this place is so close to where I live. The restaurant is located in the back of the store. It seats probably only 20 to 30 people. Nice and quiet. The way I like it. The ambiance is very simplistic, just as are the tables. We were greeted by the one and only host/server and above you hear Burmese music playing. I originally wanted to try a thai dish but marketing sometimes works. Meaning the menus are well done and made to speak to you. Certain dishes, had in noticeable font, words like "Chef's Recommendation" or "Most popular". I loved what one commentor stated about "Asian Soul Food". Nice reframe in thinking. And one I humbly agree with. I ordered the Kyit Thar Aloo (which by the way, there is a very interactive menu online. Go check it out) and my first reaction was, "OMG, it's like something my grandmother would cook." I am filipina/american and we have a dish similar to the Kyit Thar Aloo. Slightly different spices but it was basically an Asian dish version of meat and potatoes. Add a side of rice and viola! a meal that put a smile to my face and palate. Great presentation and it now made me a fan of burmese food. It's funny because I usually have a gut reaction/statement when rating something, like movies.Simply: "I wish I hadn't paid to watch it or omg, wish I could get back those two hours." How it works with a great restaurant: "I want to bring everyone I know here to try out another dish." Also, I think I would go out of my way to do take-out for lunch. And I work about 15 minutes a way. I also ordered Tom Yum Seafood soup (so I did get something Thai). It was quite good. The soup itself I can't compare to Taste of Thai or Saigon Cafe. So far they are all comparable. And all great restaurants. Which is why I need to come back to try out more stuff. As you read this, it might be you I'm bugging to come eat with me at this place. Also, prices are quite affordable. Actually, for the quality of food it's very well priced. I believe in moderation so I could have made this into two meals easily. The two star review, I hope they give it a try again. All great establishments have a bad day. But these folks did it right. Even their menu online is well done. Yes, this place does speak to my Asian Soul. :) Go check it out y'all! read more

I had a friend visiting from out of town and somehow she knew of this place before I did. The food here is phenomenal. Their sushi was seriously so, SO good. I think my favorite was the mango roll (exact name unknown). We also got the red bean ice cream for dessert. I was apprehensive about the name, but again, this was a hit. I was already daydreaming about my next visit before we even left the restaurant. Just go. You won't regret it. read more

We have eaten her three or four times now and have never had a bad meal! The spicy chicken is my favorite and there's honestly enough for two whole meals! We also got the black rice sweet potato roll which was delicious! Highly recommend. read more

Sun Cuisines - Thai Near Me - Buffalo, New York

We spontaneously showed up on Saturday evening. We didn't have a reservation and were told it would be a 30 minute wait. But after just a few minutes we were given a table. I ordered the seared beef roll, the mango roll, and the tuna roll which were all amazing. My friends ordered the black rice salad which had mango, pineapple, and basil - a really interesting and delicious combination. Someone else ordered Sun spicy Chicken which was also delicious. 5 The owner came by to ask how everything was. Very friendly guy. The restaurant did get loud toward the end of our meal, but I would absolutely recommend Sun to everyone! read more

Sun Cuisine is fresh, ethereal food porn at its best! The mango roll is my favorite. It is made with Sun's famous forbidden black rice, sweet potato, avocado and mango and it is a dish that will breathe new life into you! I've been to several places that serve various types of Asian cuisine in the Buffalo area but they are not as fresh or as packed with flavor as Sun. One can tell that Sun is a labor of love for the owners, Kevin & Stephanie Lin and you can taste it in the food. read more

Sushi was not good T all. Fish quality was bad. Used black rice sweet for sushi. The rice was not fresh. My wife ordered duck. Was watery and not much duck . read more

At last, I found Thai iced tea, in a Burmese restaurant after unsuccessful attempts in Toronto. We tried Spicy Tuna roll in black rice, Kat Kyay Kite noodles, and the Burmese lunchbox. I really liked the noodles even though they were beyond my spice tolerance. I wasn't too impressed by the tuna roll. The lunchbox offered a good sample of everything. Service, however, was on the slow side. 3.5 stars overall. read more

Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum! I could eat here every week if I wanted to. It's seriously that good! Me and my partner went here yesterday, and we kind of went all out so that we could try everything. For the appetizer, we ordered the deep fried tofu, Tofu Jyaw. I'm a pretty big fan of deep fried tofu, and that's why I ordered it. This one was as good as they come. Really! I especially liked the sweet and sour sauce that it comes with, but it was more like hot and sweet sauce, because it was spicy! If spicy is not your thing, be careful, but for me, it was one of the best dipping sauces I've had in awhile. :) They also give you a piece of lettuce for presentation, but if you wrap the tofu in the lettuce and dip it in the sauce, it's about 10 times better because it gives it that healthy crunch. I think next time we order this, we'll have to see if they could give us some extra lettuce. For the next course, we ordered the ginger salad with dried peas and whatnot, Ginn Thoat. It was definitely good. I look forward to trying some of the other salads. Le Peth Thoat, which is Burmese style pickled tea leaves, sounded good, but I definitely liked this one. It wasn't too gingery, which is okay. Perhaps it could be a tad gingerier. I suppose they do that because most people would find it overpowering. I also wish it came with more spicy peppers. They give you these tiny, tiny peppers, and by tiny I mean the tiniest peppers I've ever seen, but they packed one helluva punch! I wish they gave you twice as many though because those peps were good. Perhaps I'll ask for extra next time. :) Next, my partner ordered the soup, Mont Hin Gar. It's a very traditional Burmese soup, which I find incredibly tasty. Perhaps it's better than pho? Call me crazy! The menu describes it as Burmese style fish noodle soup with banana stem (which tastes like onion to me), vermicelli, ginger, onion, lemongrass, boiled egg, fish sauce, and fried garlic. My gosh, that broth is amazing! It tastes very meaty, but there is no meat in it! Perfect for pescetarians. :) Next, I ordered the Crispy Whole Fish Sun's Style. :) It's not everyday that you get to order a whole deep fried fish! It's kind of expensive, $17.99, but it's nice to order if you feel like you just want to splurge. My gosh! The presentation was beautiful. They cut open the back of the fish, and put delicious vegetables in its back. I actually thought the vegetables tasted better than the fish, is that odd? The sauce was a sweet and sour sauce, but top of the line, and 100 times better than that pre-packaged sweet and sour sauce you find in most Chinese restaurants. The fish itself was perfectly cooked. It had the crispiest shell, which was perfect. If you really want to treat yourself to a special fish fry, definitely come here and order this. I suppose some people might be put off by the fact that it comes with the head, but it's traditional to serve fish like this in Asia as the wholeness of the fish signifies wholeness and prosperity in your life. Actually, it's probably better because it makes you realize that what you're eating is an animal, and this animal gave its life up for you. Too often when we eat meat, we take their death for granted, but seeing the fish like this, made me say a small prayer in thanks. For beverages, they don't have many options, which is a tad bit disappointing. They have soda, Thai iced tea, Thai lemon tea, Thai iced coffee, Hot green or jasmine tea, and Burmese milk tea (hot). I was hoping they'd have hot red tea, as this other Burmese restaurant I went to in San Francisco offered that, and the waitress said that that type of tea is traditional. Oh well! The food is so delicious, you can look past the drink options. I also think they don't serve alcohol, or at least if they do, it's not on the menu, which is fine by me, but something that might disappoint some people. For dessert, what? You think we ordered dessert with all that food for two people?? No, there was no room for dessert, but most definitely next time. I think I'll have to skip the four courses and stick to one or two if I want dessert. On their menu they list Sticky Rice with Thai Custard, Taro Custard, and Steamed Banana Rice. I think I'll have to go for the Taro Custard next time because that was calling my name last night. Seriously! It was like, "Xavier... Xavier... Order me..." It was haunting me like a ghost, so next time, taro custard, I promise. :) We're most definitely coming back, and Sun Food delivers so that will definitely have to be taken advantage of. They do charge a $2 delivery fee, but that's not that bad. What? It's the cost of a bus ride anyway. Woohoo! For only having one Burmese restaurant in all of Buffalo, us Buffalonians sure got off lucky! read more

I've come here a thousand times by now, and never really have been disappointed. I've been here for both lunch and dinner. I think the drinks are nice, though I tend to stick with either water or the Thai iced tea or coffee, depending on the mood, and maybe a beer or jasmine tea. Always great on the drinks. For appetizers, I've had the spring rolls and dumplings, both of which are fantastic and flavorful. The dips are great with them. I've had a lot of the curries, black rice sushi, and both Thai and Burmese entrees are good. It's decent on the spice level. I think it's a little tame unless you specifically ask for it to be spicy. Otherwise no complaints about the food! Just try it all! Dessert I've had only once or twice. It's pretty good, but I'm usually too full to eat it! It's such a good restaurant it's hard to pick what thing to get. Service is always good and kind. I'd really recommend this place to anyone, especially someone who hasn't this type of cuisine! read more

It has good ambiance and some great dishes. They also have a huge parking so no need to worry about that. The service and the hosts are great . Best: I liked the fried rice and the chicken curry. They were spicy and tasted awesome. I also loved the fish rangoon in appetizer.It was simply awesome. The chicken spring roll was also good. OK: The green curry was just OK. It was more on the sweeter side. The seafood soup was not at all great. The noodles was also just OK. Overall will recommend this place. read more
