    Walnut shrimp
    Brenda K.

    After seeing all the hype about the Hot Tango Fish Fillet at Hunan Bistro, we had to come and try it for ourselves! It didn't disappoint, when it came to the table, I was amazed at how huge it was and the flavor was intense with lots of garlic and soy, it truly was an outstanding dish! The fillets melt in your mouth, it also had plenty of veggies on the bottom! We also had the following: steamed Pork Belly with Bun (the bun was very soft but the pork belly was kinda fat), sautéed Beef Fillet with Black Pepper (there wasn't much beef but had lots of other diced veggies, too salty), Sautéed Green Bean (this was very good, had some wok hei), walnut Shrimp (the shrimps were overcooked and didn't have much flavor), and sizzling Seafood Egg Tofu (this came out steaming hot and the tofu was very soft and great flavor)! Overall, I would order the Hot Tango Fish Fillet again for sure!

    $17 sesame chicken (doesn't even include rice)
    Wendy S.

    Portion sizes are ridiculously small for the prices they're charging. $17 for sesame chicken which didn't even include rice. Why is it mostly broccoli? Why can I get triple the amount of food from Panda Express at this price? Before you come for me and ask why I'm ordering sesame chicken from an authentic Chinese restaurant, this was a group order and the other authentic dishes were abismally portioned too. This place used to be a family favorite, but it seems they're getting greedy lately

    Amazing Pork belly!! Very nice staff authentic as you can get ! Tofu is very good . Ambiance all you see is Asian folks !!

    This place is more like a 3.5 out of 5 stars. i forgot all the different entrees we ordered, since my wife did all the ordering.... but i do remember one dish, and it's a must get at this place. Whatever you do, get the hot tango fish. its a lot of food for one dish, and most likely you will have left overs, unless you come with a lot of people. But the sauce they use in the hot tango fish, is like crack. If you pour it onto rice, it makes it a meal by itself. I think we also got one pork dish and once veggie dish as well. Plenty of parking out front. Servers are friendly. Dishes are definitely family style.

    5/5 Food 4/5 Service Been here twice now, and loved each visit. We tried a wide assortment of food, and below are our favorites: - egg tofu with seafood - Cucumber salad - tango fish - stir fried greens Hard passes next time: - salted egg tofu - dry pot special - butterfly shrimp with Vermicelli They food a great job at accommodating our 12 people party! Will come back again.

    Parking: Plenty Ambience: Casual Private room: Yes Crowd: Work, Family Average $20-ish per plate but it feeds FOUR! All dishes are great as left-overs as well Egg tofu seafood : Get it, flavorful. White fish (looks like tilapia) over a bed of veggies, has a slight kick to it. Garlic shrimp over clear noodles, fresh shrimp, tasty. Bring a crowd with you to try multiple dishes, portions are generous!

    Fish with lamb soup , don't order it , the taste is very light, almost like water.
    Michelle Y.

    One of our friends recommended this place. We thought we could taste some yummy traditional Chinese food. Not sure if we didn't order the right food or what's going on , overall the taste is pretty disappointed. The only one dish we both liked was black pepper beef, it tasted pretty good. The rest of the dishes are tasteless, wasted our money and time . They also placed a wrong order for us and we waited longer for the right order to be served. Overall, one time shot, no plan to come back.

    One of the best Chinese food in town. Real Chinese style. Highly recommended guys. Definitely be back.

    We went for late dinner on a weeknight with our middle son. We ordered Chicken with mixed vegetables, scallion pancake, garlic eggplant and Xiao long bao. They're delicious. Serving staff are helpful. Well lighted and decorated restaurant.

    ok but won't order again

    Been to this restaurant many times. Food is always good from a big menu. The main waiter had a bad attitude last time we were there. He has been there for long time but he was rude and impatient last time. If you don't like your job, go somewhere else. As customers, we don't need to deal with your personal problems. So unprofessional.

    When I come to a family-owned Chinese restaurant, I know that taste is king if there are many repeat customers and no-frills dining service. I was not disappointed both times I have been here. The dishes are cooked fresh with very authentic flavors across the entire menu; one part of the menu that I love is that you can actually customize your vegetable stir fry based on what flavors and vegetables you would like on a given day. I leave here feeling like my stomach is full and soul well-nourished, and that's my mark of good Chinese food.

    Restaurant is big inside with plenty of seating for big and small parties. They can get pretty busy around mealtimes. It was still busy with a waitlist around 1:30 PM on Saturday. They have private rooms upon request and availability. Minimum bill for a private room must exceed $200. They have a super thicc menu; it's 46 pages long. There's a full color pic for every dish which is pretty amazing! Chef's special menu is on the wall in the back of the restaurant. The QR code on the menu's front cover is for the restaurant's official WeChat account. We ordered 3 dishes - 酸辣鸡胗, 爆炒猪肝,老长沙臭豆腐. 酸辣鸡胗 - I came specifically to eat this. It's very spicy, especially the green chili. I couldn't handle it and had to take them out. Despite that, the spicy was sooo~ delicious! The pickled radish and green beans were perfect. 老长沙臭豆腐 - The tofu was just a little stinky but the flavor was a bit lacking. I don't know if this is normal/authentic since I'm not from there; maybe just not my cup of tea. The crunchy radish on top was a nice addition. 爆炒猪肝 - The liver in this dish is stored frozen so it has a stinky taste. Beware if you aren't used to this kind of flavor in the US. I guess the staff is used to this kind of complaint because they were very understanding and offered to replace it with another dish free of charge without us having to ask. We replaced it with the 农家小炒肉. They even let us cut in line of another table who came later so we wouldn't have to wait for them to cook the new dish from scratch and could eat it together with the rest of our meal. 农家小炒肉 - It was pretty good. The meat was very tender and the dish overall was flavorful. The only thing that I'd ask is for the chef to leave out half of the oil when plating. It'll look more appetizing. Rice is $1 per single-person bowl/portion. I highly recommend getting it if you're dining in and getting spicy dishes. The rice isn't anything special and you can definitely forgo it if you're getting takeout and don't mind cooking your own rice. The service was superb! Everyone was super attentive, very polite, and super understanding!

This place is absolutely made for a group outing, and we're already planning to come back with a group to take full advantage. The food was a delight. The Singapore noodles had this wonderful curry flavor that I absolutely loved, and the combo fried rice was just as satisfying. We also ordered the Peking duck (P1 on the menu). It was good, though not quite as flavorful on its own as we'd hoped. That said, once you load it up with the hoisin, cucumber, and spring onions, it all comes together beautifully. The bao buns that came with it were soft and delicious, honestly a highlight. We also sipped on hot jasmine tea throughout, which was the perfect, refreshing complement to the whole meal. A solid spot with great vibes, tasty dishes, and room to grow on us even more with a return visit.

If you live in the area, it's a quality spot to get your soup dumpling fix. My Overall Rating - 3 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Located in a strip mall with plenty of parking, the first thing I noticed was Chef Sun's was very busy (great sign). The restaurant itself wasn't very memorable, and the table we sat at was next to a drink fridge and lots of traffic. 1/2 Star. Service - The staff at Chef Sun's was great, especially for a busy Chinese restaurant. The staff proactively kept our glasses full of water and were always on hand to help. Once we placed our order, food just kept coming from the staff as each dish was brought out piping hot and fresh. 1 Star. Food - The Xa Long Bao (soup dumplings) were nice and plump, freshly cooked and super-hot. This was the best part of the meal. The traditional Chinese dishes like their noodles were all a bit oily for my taste. Thee two appetizers - fried shrimp (very safe choice) were crispy without being greasy and the red dipping sauce was more sweet than spicy. And the spicy edamame was good. Overall plenty of good, but nothing super memorable. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Only if I'm in the area and I want soup dumplings. Chef Sun's Noodle & Dumpling has some oily noodles and great dumplings. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit here, but now that I know they exist, I'll stop by next time I want soup dumplings. 1/2 Star.

We ordered the A-Choy vegetable and it was awful, old and yellow and not cooked well. It's like they didn't sauté it in a hot enough wok so it wasn't crispy. So disappointing this time. Don't get me wrong, the Peking Duck and the soup that comes with it were still pretty good. Thus the second star.
