I ordered sesame chicken with fried rice for take out. I was disappointed in both items. The sesame chicken was bland, but had a fruity flavor. The fried rice had no ingredients other than rice and soy sauce. Also, the portions were smaller than what I am seeing in takeout orders at other Asian restaurants. As nice and friendly as the workers were, I don't think I'll be back. read more

UPDATE 12/16/2023 To start with, ownership has changed making the food quality extremely swerve. I got the classic beef bulgogi combo, and it lost its nice balance of flavors within it. It just tasted of a bit of salt and spice with no uniqueness. The egg rolls tasted mediocre now, and the sweet n sour sauce is that cheap package sauce that taste awful. Hopefully they can fix their problems, I only wish for their improvements. I can't recommended this place anymore for its lack of quality control. Side note: The signature foil to keep the food hot is gone! read more

Sun’s kitchen - B2. Beef Bulgogi Meal - Asian Fusion Near Me - Temple, Texas

Came here expecting good service and top notch cuisine. We always pass by it and figured why not, let's try it . I'd rather have buffet food cold than eat here. Overpriced and all for plastic tableware and paper plates ? They didn't have half the menu items we wanted. They also never check up on us. Food was made hot and fresh that's the only plus but it did take long to prepare. Portions smaller than a kids pandas express plate. Like you came to the party late and you got whatever was left of the potluck food, that's the essence I got. Probably never coming back. Was still hungry after spending $40 read more

The reviews are not accurate... worse take Chinese I've ever had. Flavors were no where close to what they should be. Pictured in sesame chicken with "fried rice". Don't waste you money or tastebuds here. read more

Sun’s kitchen - S1. Sesame Chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Temple, Texas

Truly don't waste your money!! Everything was very bland and greasy. Chicken was not crispy and yummy like it was before. It was very chewy. Almost like it had been microwaved or something!! No where near the quality of the previous owners!! Very disappointing read more

Even with gloomy or rainy weather, you can still find the sun! The three most important reasons you'll want to dine here are: 1. You enjoy freshly cooked food. 2. You want fast service. 3. Asian cuisine is among your favorites. Let me add a bonus: they're also easy on the pocket. Since opening last year, we've enjoyed several full plates of satisfying meals. For those of you that like meals in one, you can't go wrong with their fried rice! We're fans of finger food! Hey, who finished all the egg rolls and fried dumplings? Oh, sorry I guess I wasn't paying attention and didn't share... Let's get more then :D They have a good roomy dining space and we usually arrive while it's clean. So very sorry again... having a toddler in the family makes cleanliness a challenge. We hope you don't mind if we return again though. We really like the friendliness and all of the above. See ya' soon! read more

Food is made to eat! Very delicious and fresh! Prices are reasonable given that everything is going up. I got the chicken bulgolgi and it was very good! Everyone hyped it up so I ate that, you can get it whatever spice level you want. My hubby got General Tso's he said it was different than usual but still liked it. We also got orange chicken and my son ate it all. Seems like a popular place with lots of people flowing in and out. Definitely recommend! read more

Update January 2024: I LOVED this place, the food and staff until recently when ownership changed. Food was average, grouchy old lady, and prices went up. I am moving on and disappointed because the food before was AMAZING! read more

OMG HIDDEN GEM We drove by this place on the way to another. We saw it and said we need to try that place sometime. As luck would have it, our original destination was closed so we decided to try Suns kitchen now. The service is amazing, greetings upon entering and very helpful with questions about the menu, fast friendly service. They cook your food right after you order and right in front of you. They bring it fresh and hot to your table. The flavors just explode in your mouth, well spiced and well cooked. The menu prices are reasonable between 8 and 12 dollars a plate. The place is small but very clean, they will grow they are that good. Side note the sweet tea is good. They came to the table mid meal to make sure we were happy with our food and to make sure we didn't need anything else. I really enjoyed my meal here and suggest it to others you will be very pleased with your meal and experience. read more

Really great chicken egg rolls that are freshly cooked and have crisp vegetables. The sesame chicken has a savory flavor and the broccoli is cooked in a manner that keeps flavor and vitamins intact. The fried rice is fluffy and flavorful. The overall ambiance is a soothing setting with friendly staff. The sweet tea is great but it with a bit of the lemonade and it's awesome. read more

The food was delicious and very fresh! We had the Thai beef with fried rice, crab Rangoon's and shrimp tempura! Looking forward to trying more dishes as this was our first time trying Sun's kitchen. The place was small with simple service but the food had big, bold, awesome flavors. Surprised there is not a line around the building! We will return every chance we get! read more

Great food. I really liked how almost everything was hand made and fresh. The staff was fantastic.

What can I say about Suns kitchen that I haven't already told Elaina, which by the way is the owner. This is one of my favorite places to eat in Temple. They are such great people and are always so kind. The food is absolutely delicious. I always get the spicy Bulgogi and they have never let me down! Her husband is a great cook and her dad is just so sweet back there helping them. It's a family affair. Back to the food, the eggrolls are the best eggrolls in town. Their egg drop soup is off the chain and the sweet tea is banging! Now they have become special to me. Not only because the food is great, but because the service is always so good! Elaina is the sweetest person you will ever meet. She is a complete blessing to me honestly. All of this because we ate there and we're hooked after the first serving. Thank you Suns Kitchen for always being awesome! Never slacking on food! Never skimping on flavor and just always delicious Will I ho back do cat's meow? Update: Well the above review is what I used to think of Suns kitchen before the new owners took over. Things have changed A LOT!!! The food no longer is pleasing it's always over cooked, flavorless and service is terrible! I went there the other day and asked for the sesame chicken as I always did when Elaina owned the place, and I could hardly chew the chicken. It almost broke my teeth. The flavor was just not good. It used to always have people there and now the place is a ghost town. I do not recommend Suns any longer. I asked the lady at the register if they could make me something else since the chicken was unable to eat and she got mad and brought me my money and said she wasn't going to remake for me. There is absolutely no customer care whatsoever so if you do go there, you will NOT BE SATISFIED! This I am sure of. This used to be my favorite place in Temple to go, now it's THE WORST!! I'm just saying. Enter at your own risk. read more

This used to be one of my go-to lunch spots in Temple. It used to be fresh food cooked while you wait, and while you watched. No longer. What happened? I was in the store today and there was nobody but the owner. She took my order, and rummaged around in the back, now blocked off from view. The resulting bulgogi beef order was meh, small little beef chips, some hard veggies, and a sauce that lacked the wonderful originality I liked here. The prices have gone up a lot, and although it was done fast, it tasted like it had been pre-portioned and cooked ahead of time. I do not think I will be coming back. Goodbye Sun Kitchen...it was real while it lasted, but it isn't anymore. So sad, Temple has few enough decent asian restaurants as it is. read more

100% not worth the price. Their menu listings are out of date; a meal is $13.50 and the food quality is terrible. There was no one in the restaurant so there was no wait, but our food came out Luke-warm and tasted weird. The restaurant is silent and is slightly uncomfortable. read more

Finally Temple has really good Chinese food! This place could be in San Francisco's China Town making a killin' and they are here in Temple instead. Definitely going to be eating here again. This place needs to be successful so they stick around. Please come and eat! And they have the chopsticks you would see all over China Town! We got the Orange Chicken, Teriyaki Chicken, and Spicy Beef Bulgogi. It was all so very delicious! The egg rolls were to die for! They are super nice, friendly, and very personable, and the service was very fast. They actually listened too when I specifically asked them to make my dish authentically spicy, like it really should be! This place reminds me of the hole-in-the-wall restaurants in San Francisco's China Town that are packed full of the local residents who eat there every day, and when you find it, you know you have struck gold. Our young boys loved it too! You're welcome! Now go eat. read more

Sun's kitchen is now under new ownership (I think since late June) and sadly, it is not the same. Prices have increased and the food portions are much smaller. They no longer offer the dinner special (1 egg roll or crab rangoon or dumpling + soup added to your entree) and if you want the meal special, they won't even let you substitute out the egg rolls like before. Also, they no longer put crab in their rangoons, just cream cheese. Overall, the food is nothing compared to what we were used to, and I'll miss the original staff that knew my name and order by heart. We won't be returning. read more

Dont let the strip center fool you. The food was great. We had egg rolls, stir fried noodle with beef, and Kung Pao chicken. Egg rolls were spot on. All was made fresh and delish. People are super nice and great service. read more

Amazing Asian food! Love the fact that it is small family owned business and everyone is so friendly. You walk in and they have the dishes you can order in the wall with photos and I love it that they also cook the food in front of you behind a glass, so you know it is freshly cooked. Great place to eat!!! My favorite is the Kung Pao Chicken and I always ask for extra extra spicy and the deliver!! read more

TLDR: Would recommend trying it out! Generous portions, good prices, clean tables, friendly staff, and so far, good food. I ordered the orange chicken with fried rice. Fried rice was great, it's how fried rice should be. The orange chicken actually had more chicken than batter--in fact there wasn't any batter, so you really got a good deal given they don't skimp on meat. Only con was that it was a tad too sweet. Overall 8.5/10 My other half had the beef bulgogi and white rice. He said it was so so. I tried it and thought it could use more of the Korean bbq taste. It did taste a bit "watered down" with the sauce. Could use some improvement in that part. Over all 6/10 Egg rolls- really liked it. Crab Rangoon - other half thought it needed more filling but I thought for the price, it was more than generous. read more

This place has changed hands and so has the quality of the food , prices and selections. It was one of my favorites. It is not now. I had my favorite king poa chicken with extra veg. It was way over sauced, the veg. Way over cooked, peanuts were scarce. I was going to order crab rangoon but they informed me there was no more "crab" in them. It's sad. I was so happy for a small business with good clean food before. The prices have gone up for lower quality of food. read more

The food at Sun's was OK. That's the best I can say for it. I ate it, but nothing about it made me want to go back. For example: I ordered fried rice and my companion ordered steamed rice. The two dishes we received were almost identical. I expect med the fried rice to be browner and firmer than the steamed rice. Also, the fried rice had no flavor, none at all. Maybe they were just having an off day?? read more

The place is small but loaded with a ton of flavor. Everything tasted so fresh and hot it was amazing. Love finding small places and friendly service. Would definitely come back a read more

Temple is sleeping on this place. I was in town for business and went to this establishment for dinner. The people were friendly and the food was great. You get a very good sized portion if you buy the meal. I had the combo fried rice and it was awesome. I also tried the egg drop soup based on some of the prior reviews and it was so good. You have to try it. Its true that it's some of these best I've tried. I can't wait to visit this place again. read more

Always good food .. good size meals . I always love eating here . Staff friendly ...good prices

Great service! Ticket times are awesome. I recommend the Mongolian beef and the orange chicken!

Excellent food, quick service. Take out is speedy. This is usually a very reliable place for lunch and I recommend it quite often to friends and family. read more

Very good food, you can smell the authenticity from the moment you walk in. Menu is simple but still has various options. The egg drop soup was so good and so were the other dishes as well. Also ordered a Thai tea and egg rolls. Staff were also very nice and attentive to every customer, would definitely come back again! read more

I have eaten here twice & I can't say enough about the orange chicken! It was awesome both times. I will be back

This is the worst restaurant in Temple! Do NOT be fooled by the food pictures or the reviews listed. The food was unrecognizable when brought to the table. My meal had an odd flavor that I was afraid to eat. The beef was paper thin, drowning in a gray salty sauce (teriyaki?) with colorless, wilted vegetables. Best thing was the steamed rice which actually tasted fresh. I like to give small places a try but I could never recommend Sun's to anyone. read more

I love this place. You wont find nicer people than here. The food is fresh and clean. They give healthy portions and the meal comes with 2 egg rolls and a drink. Chicken is white. They have very reasonable apps too. They had no problem substituting 1 egg roll with a crab ragoon. I love the bits of spice in their fresh made sweet n sour sauce. Kung pao chicken, not over sauced, white meat nice big crunchy veg and lots of peanuts. Just spicy enough to to make you sniff a little. Lol perfect. My only suggestion is cut the chicken smaller so you dont need a knife and get the egg rolls cooked all the way through all the layers of the wrapper. It might have been just a fluke. read more

Been here twice now. Food Super fresh, made to order. Very yummy. Not too salty, too sweet, etc. Everything is honestly just right. Service Great service, very friendly and polite. Fast at cooking your food and getting you your order. Establishment Clean, simple, sufficient seating space. Appropriate items placed at table such as sauces and the like. Price Very reasonable. Like 7-9 bucks you'll get a buck load of food and again very tasty food at that. Conclusion One of the best express Asian places I've ever had in my life and growing up in CA I have had them all. read more

The staff was so nice and welcoming! The food is great and perfect for a Friday night in. You can tell they really put effort into their food and service. Definitely recommend! read more

I ordered the beef bulgogi meal, comes with two egg rolls and a drink, for 8.99. and an appetizer of fried dumplings 2.69. The spicy beef bulgogi was really good, did not taste like beef bulgogi but more of a beef stir fry, but still good. The fried egg rolls and dumplings were super yummy and their sweet chili sauce to dip in was REALLY good! Def a yummy place to grab a quick fresh bite to eat! Everything was fresh, made to order! read more
