The best bbq pork, roasted duck I've ever had hands down and I've travelled across Asia and also come from a highly Asian populated community. I don't know why the reviews are so low here. Anyone who likes this type of dish needs to come give this a try.
Good Cantonese BBQ! This restaurant is inside a Chinese Mall in Chinatown, there are a few shops on the second floor mainly travel agent and other offices, on the ground floor is the restaurant and also an Asian Market. Food is HK Style, fast and no nonsense, during busy hours eg: Lunch & Dinner, you will have to share tables if you come by yourself or just the two of you! If you are lucky that may be quite a pleasant experience to chat with another patron. Service also is no nonsense and straight forward don't expect any pleasantries! Just eat and go kinda attitude, food is good tho very solid Cantonese fare good for large parties, portions are huge so everything is designed to be shared! They also take credit cards!
We came here twice on our trip. The chashu is really good here. It was super tender and not super fatty. Their roasted duck was also SOOO tender too. Their meats are delicious. I personally didn't like their basil chicken due to the numbing sensation. I never had that happen before and so I was just shocked from the spices. Everything else was pretty good and I enjoyed the food. They do pretty good Chinese food here.
It is a pretty good place to eat at during the weekdays. There are a lot of people that do go there during the weekend and the parking lot is pretty small. Service was good, although they do run around a lot. During the weekdays it is pretty quiet, but since a lot of families and friends meet here, it can get quite loud. Otherwise food was good!
I heard this place has good wonton noodle and congee. I wanted to give it a try. I found the noodle average. Wontons are slight above average as they do have a large shrimp. Congees are average. We also ordered seafood noodle and pork chop rice. Seafood noodle does have lots of seafood. I have to say though, the portion is slightly smaller than I thought. The service is slow. It is very hard to get any waitress or waiter attention.
My husband and I went with two other couples on a Saturday night to Sun's BBQ after visiting Kananaskis Nordic Spa. We felt quite limited for where we could eat late in Calgary as we did not arrive back until after 10 pm. For late night eats, Sun's BBQ is perfect as it's open until 2 am on Saturday nights. The food was delicious! If you're a lover of Chinese food like myself, you will not be disappointed. They do some of the classic greasy Chinese dishes such as the beef ho fan with bean sprouts and they do it very well. As well, one of my favorite dishes growing up was the crispy chicken with prawn chips and again it was extremely well done. Prices are pretty standard ranging from 14 dollars to 20 dollars per dish or so but since everything is shareable, you can get a variety of dishes, with rice and tea as your sides and your group can have a good selection of food. Also the tobiko fried rice was amazing; I highly recommend this dish. You can also never go wrong with the sweet and sour ribs with pineapple. This is delicious little Chinese restaurant; pretty good prices and well done food overall. I will be coming back when I'm in Calgary next!
Keep getting worst , order my food at 410pm at 445 and all kitchen staff was out eating before any dish I order was served , complaint at 450 as expected the staff told me to wait a bit longer as kitchen staff is on meal break as I write this review right now , I guess this is how management works for the Franchise now, almost worst than when ken was still around hole they improve the basic now my hungry grandma is starving
It had been a long time since we ventured out for Chinese food with the kids and honestly did not know where to go. So I came to Yelp (of course) and searched up places to go. Sun's was one that stood out on our side of town and off we went. Although after reading the reviews we were a little concerned about the service since several reviews point out service was not great. We arrived between 4:30-5pm. The lunch crowd was clearing out so we got a table by the window. So far so good. Menus and tea came right away. Big menu, lots of choices. We ordered four dishes based on what we thought the kids would like, so simple: house friend rice, sweet and sour pork, ginger beef and black bean chicken hotpot. There was a male server we flagged down a few times and he was really good. Our food came relatively quickly and steaming hot. The kids loved it all, I was so impressed at how much they ate. It was delicious. The only downside to our experience was at least 3-4 pieces of the shrimp in the house friend rice had not been de-veined. Since we all know what that black line is (yuck), my husband spotted and removed those shrimp quickly. We flagged over the waitress for our bill and took the leftovers home which we enjoyed the next day. We came with low service and high food expectations and since we came at a good time before the dinner rush, we weren't overly disappointed in the service.
There are multiple occasions where I drive by this place without thinking anything of it. Jaime, Christine and I had a late girls night and it was time to head home. On the way, I was really wanting to stop by somewhere but didn't say anything when mind reader Christine mentioned she was hungry for a snack. Immediately I smiled and told her I was thinking the exact same thing. We yelped a bit and pondered what we wanted to eat when she mentioned Sun's. She said they had late hours and decent Chinese food for late dining. SURE, I said. Sun's BBQ is just off Centre street, they have their own parking lot but boy at this late hour it was pretty packed. Walking towards the door I noticed little kids coming out with their parents. It reminded me of late night eats in Hong Kong, LOUD, fast paced, chaotic but cool....doesn't matter what time in the AM it is, there's always people having some good eats and laughing. We were quickly greeted and offered tea. Christine and I decided to go for some sweet 'n' sour pork with pineapple and mayonnaise and we ordered a large order of rice because who doesn't like smothering the rice in the sweet and sour sauce?! Anyway, it didn't take long for the order to come and it was just what we wanted. Crispy, greasy, fatty....perfect! I enjoyed the diced onions and peppers, it gave the dish nice crunch. The sweet and sour pork also had a drizzle of mayo on top which we both agreed was unnecessary and could do without. The portion of rice was large (as ordered), and it was nice and fluffy. Overall, this place is definitely the place to be if you are craving some decent late night Chinese food whether it's one of those drunken nights or that late tummy growling night....they offer a whole ton of food! Give them a try!!
This is one of my favourite Chinese restaurants in Calgary. The atmosphere here is very casual and quite typical for a Chinese restaurant. The restaurant is spacious and can easily fit large groups of 8 to 10 people. The service here is pretty good relative to most Chinese restaurants - I've never had anyone slam a dish on the table here. There are an abundant amount of waitresses here, so service is pretty quick. During prime meal hours this restaurant gets quite busy, so if you plan to go here for lunch it is probably best to show up a bit earlier. I am not sure if you can make reservations here, but I have never had to. The food here is reasonably priced and the serving portions are huge; I always have a lot of trouble finishing the food I order here. Depending on the portion size that you get, the average prices range from under $10 and from $10 to $20. I go here specifically when I am craving hot and sour soup. Most places that serve this dish tend to do a very sloppy job of it (either they make it to vinegary, or they don't have enough ingredients in it). Sun's does a phenomenal of making it; the flavour is perfect and there's an abundant amount of ingredients that they use (IE. mushrooms, BBQ meat, bamboo, etc.). In addition to hot and sour soup, I like to get the "yin yang" dish. I am actually not sure what its called, but it is a seafood rice dish with half of the rice covered in a white cream sauce and the other half in a red tomato sauce. This and the soup are one of my favourite dishes and they are cooked quite well here.
Hands down the best BBQ pork in Calgary!! Make sure you come early because it normally sells out by the evening, we came here a couple times before we were able to try it. The char siu with rice comes with soup as well! Definitely recommend
After a horrible day, I stopped to grab a bite with a friend. The both of us were wiped out and starving, so we were happy to get a nice comfy booth to sink into. I was surprised to see that the menu was all asian noodle dishes, mainly soups. The benefit was that everything was pretty inexpensive, but the downfall was that I was craving protein like no one's business. Luckily they also had a lunch menu that had some pretty interesting dishes. My friend settled on a chicken soup, and I got crispy noodles with beef in special sauce as the lunch special. I was pleasantly surprised to get a drink with that, so I grabbed some warm soy which I developed a weird fetish for when I was in Asia. I was definitely a happy camper. Our server was pretty sweet, and he definitely made sure we were comfortable and all set up. Our dishes came and they were HUGE. My noodles in sauce were awesome, although I found the beef a little overwhelming. My friend's soup was alright, but she ended up helping me finish off my dish and taking hers to go. Finally, we grabbed some of the restaurant's BBQ pork to go. It was a great deal, and it is some of the best pork that I've had in Calgary. I was definitely impressed, so the next time I'm craving noodles or sweet and succulent BBQ pork, I'll be back.
Great late night dining! can get very busy. parking lot out front.... be careful of Asian drivers! hahah (I'm Asian so it's ok for me to say this!) hehe. :)

We happened to end up at this place during their "happy hour". Being from the Bay we wanted to get some chinese food. We happened to arrive during their "happy hour" so we got some "linner" prices. Hubs ordered the house special tossed noodle. He liked it cuz he felt it was authentic. He liked the fried garlic that added an extra kick. I had the bbq roast duck noodle soup cuz I was wanting some comfort food. I was impressed with the roast duck that was not fatty and the little bit of onion helped accent the flavor of the soup. Hubs especially the duck sauce which he thought was strong but once you get used to it he said it brought out the flavor of the duck. The service and ambiance was your typical chinese restaurant. Nothing great, nothing bad, nothing to be expected. I would definitely come back if I was in the area and craving chinese food. read more

We've been going to Sun's now for over two decades, and although the interior decor has changed, the quality of the food hasn't. My go-to dish is the Japanese-style boneless chicken udon, but this time I tried the chili beef flank in noodle soup, and it was great. Service is prompt and efficient, always. read more

If you have a hankering for steaming hot congee (Chinese rice porridge) and Chinese barbecue meats (duck, royal chicken, soy chicken, roast pig (siu yook), barbecued pork(char siu)), you've come to the right place. The good: they have an extensive menu and have always been able to deliver flavourful, fresh, piping hot food. My favourites include the BBQ combos (duck, soy chicken noodle soup), rice crepe wrapped Chinese donut, wonton/dumpling in tossed noodles, beef and rice noodles, congee and Singapore fried rice noodles. I couldn't say the same for the drinks, since we've always had Chinese tea or ice water with our meals. The bad: this is a typical Hong Kong style cafe with good food and bad service. Today there was a huge lineup in front of the barbecue meats counter and no-one was there to greet us as we walked into the restaurant (so I just found a table and sat down). It's a lot of hard work trying to flag down a server; they always seem to be looking the other direction. Also, the garnishes on each dish may not be the same as you had before--e.g. their beef congee usually comes garnished with green onions, but one time it came with crushed peanuts on top. Our son was extremely disappointed, since he has a peanut allergy. The ugly: the bathrooms are disgusting (which is why I try not to go to bathrooms in Chinese restaurants) and the parking lot is a nightmare (to drive into and to drive out). Especially on a weekend, street parking would be a safer option. read more

Love the Chinese barbecue meats! Best in town! I usually order take out or go there for lunch / afternoon tea. When the place is busy, u need to get numbers for lining up to get a table; sometimes u don't, just walk inside and tell them how many people. I think it's confusing for people who do not know the language. The service is up and down; it depends on who is helping your table. The managers are all pretty nice; but it seems the customers are invisible for some of the staffs! But so far this is the only place the cashier listen to my instruction to pack my order. When I order take out, my ECO friendly husband feels very guilty that we waste so many one time use things. So we decided to do something to limit the waste. So everytime we order take out, we will tell them not to give us setting (plastic spoon, chopsticks..) and sauces that we do not need. And especially the napkins!!! they are always wet after absorbing the heat and steam from the food. Today I went there and ordered something from the afternoon tea special menu, and told the cashier (Ming is the name shows on the receipt) not to give me sugar and setting. When I was home, I found out she really remembered what I said!!!! Very good! coz other places always repeat what I say (do not need setting!) but still give me everything! read more
THE best place in Calgary for roast duck! My friend told me about this place a few years ago and we always stop by for lunch now whenever we're in town. You can either eat in restaurant-style or pick up your meats like you would at the butcher shop, easy peasy. They also have roast and barbecue pork, not just duck. Our usual order is the BBQ #1 combo with the roast duck. Huge portions, so make sure you bring your appetite! The skin on the duck is crispy so it's got some slight crunch to it, and it tastes sooo good dunked in plum sauce. The combo is served with a huge helping of white rice, Chinese greens and a bowl of hot soup. We tried the cream corn soup too but it was really watery, not thick like it should be. We also tried the shrimp-stuffed tofu, which wasn't bad overall but could have used more shrimp meat. I think we'll just stick to the roast duck here from now on, you can never go wrong with it! read more

This is the place i always get my bbq pork and bbq duck take out. Tonight decided to come here instead of cooking. I have been craving some congee so I order the lean pork and thousand year old egg congee. This is always my go to when I'm sick or just wants something to warm me up. It came in a hot bubbling clay pot. Flavourful and not too salt which was nice. We always order shanghai noodles and garlic & Onion beef in oyster sauce on hot plate. The noodles where saucy and seasoned well with lots of toppings. The beef hot plate came out sizzling and the beef was super tender. There was lots of onions and garlic and peppers. There was whole cloves of garlic in there, woah they could have chopped it up more. We left super full and happy. Look forward to next time. read more

This is our go to spot when we want a casual quick chinese meal. This is a hong kong style cafe. Do not go here if you are looking for lots of service. They'll take you to a table; give you a menu. When you are ready to order, you will most likely have to wave someone down. The food will come when its ready and if you need anything you will have to wave for a server. Everyone comes here for the food and not the service. We like to go later at night because they have the menus with special items. Some of our favourite dishes are the squash with black olives (its got chilis), congee, hot and sour soup, thai style ho fan and beef with enoki. read more
