PB Mexican Burrito
Juice B.

This place is so good! my friend and i went here, looking for vegan spots around the area and found them on google. we're both mexican and loved that they had a ton of mexican vegan options. they also have a whole vegan chinese menu to choose from as well that i can't wait to try! these were also extremely friendly and nice people, and definitely made a customer out of us. the food was amazing and i can't wait to go back a try more of their food.

A nice vegan-friendly place! I have been coming here for a while now; I love the service. The food is yummy! Their choices are plentiful. The price is a bit higher than I am used to, especially for the portion sizes. My personal favorites are the big veggie egg roll, the orange cauliflower, fire pepper "shreemp", and the potato tacos. All the agua frescas are refreshing. They have specials from time to time for a nice discounted rate. They are introducing new items every time I arrive.

I've been coming to Sunny Express for 5 years now and I've never had a bad experience! the staff are so attentive and friendly; the food is always tasty and flavorful; and the love for community is always there. they have a full vegan and non-vegan menu. as a now 12-year vegetarian, that eats mainly vegan by default, I love exploring my community and finding local businesses. sunny express is truly a community staple, the vibes are always familial every time I come. they tend to have off-menu items available if you go in person to order - just an fyi! + a lil market of vegan proteins if you're having trouble locating a few meat mockups that you'd like to cook with.

Really good hidden vegan Mexican/Chinese spot in Compton, across the street from Compton Court House. They have vegan and non vegan options for both Mexican and Chinese dishes. Friendly customer service and really good food.

Second time visiting here and things have drastically changed within less than a year. My first experience was above and beyond. This time around, may be our last. My partner and I ordered in person off their plant-based (Vegan) menu. This is what we only order and ordered this the first time as well. When we first got there, it was completely different than what we remembered. No greeting whatsoever, no one said hello or acknowledged we were there. No warm welcome like it used to be. After finally deciding, we said "excuse me" to the gentleman behind the counter with his back turned. No answer. We said "hola" and then he said "I'll be right with you" still with his back turned. He was more worried about tying the bag on his pickup order. He finally took our order and we paid. We realized that the receipt had extra charges. We orders two combos and noticed that one of the combo prices was more than the other. When we got our food we asked the owner why there was an additional charge to one of the combos and he said the prices have gone up and his supplier was up charging him. We told him we didn't see it on the menu, nor did he mention anything about that. He said "they just changed it today". Lol umm in my head I'm thinking (when? Just now when we walked in?) The price just suddenly changed on us monitors before we ordered lol. He made up some reason like the costs had gone up that same day--which I call bull. There is also an electronic payment charge that was not mentioned (normally vendors mention this just in case we have cash), but he said nothing. So whatever we took our food and left. The worse part is the food wasn't what it used to be. It wasn't even that good like we remembered. The quality of food has definitely gone down. If the cost of plant-based ingredients is too much for the business owner, it should just be removed from the menu. The food tasted mediocre, lacked flavor like some of the mock meat came out of a can and dumped in the pan with vegetables. The fried "shrimps" were not seasoned either. The chowmein was old and hard and the fried rice was bad. Most of the items look pre-cooked and reheated back with other ingredients made to order. But it's not that great. The menu and the item prices at the restaurant are unclear. It doesn't really clarify or specify what things costs and for what portions. My suggestion before ordering is to ask first. The prices in person are also different online. So order accordingly. Probably will not be returning. The customer service downgraded a lot, and the food is now mediocre as well.

Vegan orange chicken and kung pao
Norberto A.

Great food and service. Will definitely be back. The orange chicken was my favorite. The green salsa on the enchiladas was very flavorful

Vegan plate orange nuggets, fried shrimp, chow mein and white rice. Side of broccoli "beef".
Lyn M.

First time visiting and it was delicious! Great meeting Tony who was very nice and offered me a free agua fresca half watermelon and half passion fruit so good. I usually drive to Whittier for vegan Chinese food so im glad there's a spot in Compton. The orange nuggets was so good and the fried shrimp was good too. The broccoli "beef" was not my favorite. But overall food was good!

Carolyn M.

Great concept for vegans and non vegans as they have both types of menus. Food is cooked fresh to order and it's helpful to call in advance! Food wasn't overly salted either. I would order again. It's nice to have this option in the community.

Lomo Saltado
O'Neal R.

First walking in your greeted with a beautiful warm welcome from Rigo, great service and attitude. I asked for one of the best dishes and I got the Lomo Saltado with chicken, which was full of flavor and texture. Love the sauce it came with also. Such a unique establishment.

Hosea J.

The food was very good, hot and cooked to order. None of the food was over cooked, too salty or too greasy. Something I only remember happening nearly 40 years ago. The chef came to our table and asked if we enjoyed our food. The seating area was clean and the food and drinks were brought out to us, with a very cold and filtered water. I didn't even ask for the water but was very happy to have it. The only reason I didn't give it five stars, (and this may be a bit too picky). I didn't quite like the location. Not the kind of area I would visit late in the day.

Plant Base 2 Entree Plate (walnut skrimp, habanero wangs, chow mein and fried rice)
Jocelyn M.

Sunny's always delivers. Updating with more pics. I have tried a few more items but these are some of my favorites. They have aqua frescas - I love the watermelon or passion fruit, and my homie usually gets Jamaica or horchata. In addition, they have vegan pizzas, and vegan desserts that can vary but usually a chocolate cake, carrot cake, and tiramisu. I've always been treated like a good friend when I go. The guys are clearly passionate about what they do and the food is on point every time. My friend ordered some platters for her birthday party and they were super accommodating with amazing customer service. They make efforts to boost the decor best they can if you dine in with cloth napkins and really dope crockery (the picture of the lomo saltado was in house dining - I could drink the sauce that comes with it haha). Please help me support this amazing business cuz the hood needs delicious vegan options too!

Sunny Express Gourmet exceeded our expectations! As plant-based eaters, we loved their orange chicken and fried shrimp. The customer service was exceptional--Rico and the team made us feel like family. Easy parking, amazing food, and we'll definitely be back! Tommy

The Mongolian BBQ is $6.99 per pound and it is self serve so you get to pick exactly what you want. Everything was very clean and I loved the wide variety of options. Once you select your ingredients, they cook it right in front of you. I got one plate spicy and one plate regular and both were absolutely delicious. The noodles were thick and buttery, the sauces were amazing, and everything worked so well together. I also have to mention the service because it was absolutely amazing. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted, walked through the menu, and offered help on how everything works. He let us know everything is made fresh and was genuinely so kind and welcoming. He made my dad and me feel comfortable, welcomed, and even had great conversation with us. Definitely try this place out. I will for sure be back! Absolutely loved it.

I stumbled across this Mongolian and Chinese combo spot and it definitely hit the spot. The Mongolian beef was thick-cut and tender, and the orange chicken was yummy (a little too saucy for my taste) but you could tell it was freshly made to order. Everything stayed hot even after my 10-minute drive back to Long Beach, which says a lot.

I will never eat here again. I spent $38 on food that I ultimately threw away in its entirety…read more From the start, the quality was inconsistent. Some items were hot while others were cold. The egg rolls were cold. The orange chicken was chewy and unpleasant. The noodles tasted cheap and low quality. Nothing felt freshly prepared. I specifically asked how long ago the food had been cooked, and the employee said she could not answer that question. She then said they cook throughout the day and suggested I look at the food myself. That response already raised concerns about freshness. When I got home and put the food in the refrigerator, I later went to reheat it and was met with a strong, bad odor. At that point, I did not feel safe eating any of it and threw everything away. Between the inability to confirm freshness, inconsistent food temperature, quality issues, and the smell after refrigeration, this experience was unacceptable. I'm leaving this review so others can make an informed decision before spending their money. I do not recommend eating here.

I'm back enjoying this delicious food on this beautiful Mother's Day 5-10-2026…read more As always this og spot is clean and although a bit eclectic this is a true mom and pop with a flair for solid good fresh made food without all of the fluff. The staff is welcoming and lowkey in this restaurant, place your order you can sit inside the restaurant or in your car while the order is made in a timely manner. Today's order is my favorite Shrimp Fried Rice and Fried Shrimp. Shrimp Fried Rice Tender shrimp and fried rice seasoned well with extra green onions. it's very good and some of the best fried rice I have eaten in the city of Long Beach. 10/10 Fried Shrimp Crispy clean so tasty and the bomb .com they're very good with the sweet and sour sauce. 10/10 Pepsi A can an of Pepsi served on ice is a perfect beverage and refreshing drink to enjoy with salty spicy and seasoned food. Please see my prior reviews for more in depth detailed information regarding other food items pictures menu's and recommendations. The portions are large enough for 2 1/2 servings and everything is fresh made to order. The food is delicious. What more do you want . Until next time. Shawn C.

My mom wanted Chinese food for her birthday dinner. We only knew about this place due to social…read moremedia. We decided to try it out as we normally go to the same one or two places. It's in a small strip mall and doesn't look like much from the outside. Not very big inside. Fortunately we arrived early as it continued to get busier while we were there... We got the "family deal" which was $18.50 per person and that included 1 entree each, soup, 1 egg roll, 2 fried shrimp and fried rice. We also added an order of chow mein. It was a LOT of food. We had a ton of leftovers. It'll probably get us another 1-2 meals each! I thought that was a great deal. My mom enjoyed it a lot (which was the goal and what mattered!). My husband and daughter enjoyed it as well. I'm not super into Chinese food but thought it was fine. (I actually prefer leftover cold Chinese food). One thing that stood out and I really liked was that they serve a plate of crunchy chow mein noodles to start. I haven't seen that in quite some time. We like dipping them in sweet and sour sauce; although I didn't care that much for theirs, it was very runny, I like a thicker consistency.
