    Inside of the Takeout
    Nathan N.

    The food is absolutely amazing. They give you these Styrofoam containers and have enough food to feed a small family. It's like 3 pounds of food, sometimes 3 pounds of just meat. The food takes a little bit but that's because they make it themselves and from what I know it's just the guy in the back, but he's amazing. The inside is small, but it's nice. They have many drinks too, it's a nice little small place on Pembroke. One thing I see people have a problem with is the fried rice, but fried rice is supposed to be a day old, not freshly cooked. But all the other reviews that are low are questionable, they're nice and don't yell at me or my family. 10/10 Would go again

    Many times I've passed this restaurant and today was the day I've decided to try the food for the first time. Sun Yi Café, located on Pembroke Rd. near I-95, is a small restaurant with a small parking lot. It's a good thing the business advertises "take-out" because there isn't much space inside for dining, but there are seats provided for customers to sit and wait while the food's being prepared. I ordered my usual, pork lo mein lunch special. It was served with pork fried rice and also came with one free can soda. After waiting for twelve minutes, my food was ready. When I took a look inside the container, I was surprised at the amount of food I was given. It was enough to feed two people. Usually when I order pork lo mein, it contains small pieces of pork; but this food had big pieces of pork in it, and the vegetables was nice & crunchy. I must say, though it was too much food for me, it was very good and wasn't salty. Guess I'm having leftovers for a day or two.

    Solid Chinese food if you live near by. Came walking here from all towing company hungry rude money suckers. They cook it fresh to order so it's hot and flavor is good. Not too salty or anything. Nice people.

    2.6 lbs of General Tao's chicken #25 lunch special $6.70 with soda. Delish!

    EDIT: Earlier tonight I had given a poor review based on the assumption that I had received less of…read moremy leftovers boxed than expected. It turns out that while some of what I paid for was not fully boxed to go as requested, one of my items (combination fried rice,) merely looked too small in the to go container. I assumed that after seeing the other container which was clearly missing a fair of congee, that the fried rice was also missing food but this was not that the case after putting it in a plate. I am correcting my review so as to not overreact and unfairly disparage an otherwise wonderful expereince. To start they have a very big menu, with a lot of choices. The food we received was very good food with good portions. Good, relaxed family atmosphere. The servers were nice as well. I had a great time while I was there and the food was priced affordably. I got the Szechuan pork intestine with hot peppers, Pork and thousand year old egg congee, the combination fried rice, crab rangoons, and Hong Kong Wonton Soup while my colleague got Egg Foo Young for herself. Each item was delicious and I highly recommend. Personally I have a very high spice tolerance so maybe be careful with the Szechuan pork intestines if you do not. I thought it was amazing, personally. This was also my first time having congee and the server chopped up the egg into pieces when she served it which was considerate of her. The pork was in small bits scattered throughout the congee and the flavor was wonderful, a very comforting dish. Got the HK Wonton soup based on recommendations from reviews online and it did not disappoint. The wontons are shrimp/pork I believe, and they were seasoned exquisitely which paired nicely with the subtle broth and the vegetables (I think baby bok choy and green onions). Crab rangoon did not disappoint either and was a great value for the quality and portion. Not to mention the great sauces they gave on the side (hot mustard, orange sauce, chili oil, andred sauce (for the rangoon)) as well as the hot tea they left in a kettle on the table (tasted like oolong but not sure). The tea in particular always welcome on my table to help digest such a feast. I really would like to give this place 5 stars. However, seeing as I did order a lot of food, when it came time to pay the check I asked for to-go containers. They asked to do it themselves to which I agreed. Unfortunately in this process, a fair amount of the congee, which I loved and wanted to eat later, was not packed. If they had run out of larger soup containers since it was the end of the evening I can understand that, but only giving me a small container that wasn't even filled is really regrettable. At least give me two of the smaller containers if that is the case, I know how much congee was left before handing it to be boxed and what I got was not even close. Realistically I can only mark down a maximum of 1.5 stars off from that but I am rounding up for conventional purposes because other from that misstep it was really a magnificent experience. I do recommend and I would return.

    I just had to lay down a quick note about the service and the food. I typically call my order in;…read moreKelly always answers the phone, knows my voice, and knows my order; it is right everytime. I love the roast duck and the bar-b-cue ribs... I usually get 1/2 & 1/2 with a side of rice. I walk across the street to the Beijing Supermarket and pick up some baby bok chop and go home. Kelly knows to put me some "real" Chinese hot mustard (not those packets). The last few times, I asked for wonton soup. Let me tell you, they have the best broth and absolutely, the best dumplings... I am not feeling well and was trying to figure out what could I possibly eat that stay down (common cold). I ordered a LARGE wonton soup. The lady than answered was not Kelly: $7.00; i could not believe it. I asked was she sure that was large, "Yes, a quart!" Let me tell you. it was full of dumplings, 8 to be exact. I was not sure that was enough, I ordered 2 more for a mere $1. something. I have been drinking my soup two meals now. It has stayed down and not annoyed my stomach and is just a great dish. I added a tiny bit of soy sauce; I elminated anything hot, which is what I normally do. I cannot recommend King's Palace. I have not dined in the restaurant since early this year; yesterday it was absolutely packed. I just called Kelly to get her name, she was so polite and told me "i'm really busy, is there something I can get you?" Yesterday, I have never seen a woman; the entire team move so fast serving as fast as they possibly could. Enjoy the Duck, the ribs or the soup. They are all on my Scrumpterou list!

The Asian hand painted folding paper fans along the walls and the red Chinese New Year lanterns hanging from the ceiling added a nice touch to the subtle decor. We were sat immediately at a booth of our choice. The dining room was empty of customers with an eerie silence. The server greeted us with the standard duck sauce and golden crispy crackers and the traditional metal tea kettle and cups. I slurped down my wanton soup that had plump wanton and not salty thin broth. The General Tso Chicken with fried rice was a huge portion and tasty. The fried eggroll had a crisp outer shell and was dense with veggies, although it seemed more like an oversized spring roll than a traditional Chinese egg roll, but the superb taste overshadowed the petite size. As were eating, I still could not stop noticing that we were the only customers at lunchtime 12pm during the work week. I will take great food and attentive service any day over a loud packed dining room but could this be the end of a strong fifty-six year run to end the China Lane legacy? I sure hope not. As the bill arrived, I noticed a portion at the bottom with suggested tip percentages to merely place a checkmark in a box - not bad, just unique. The gender assigned bathroom was clean with a dominant red door and gray marble-like tile. The toilet rules written on the front of the tank made me chuckle and added some unexpected humor to a traditional Chinese restaurant (see pic and read).
