Fast food Chinese cuisine has a special place in my heart. We had chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken (no spice), broccoli beef, eggplant & tofu and mushroom chicken.

Also, we opted for pickup and everything was seamless.

Prices are on par with other similar places, we ordered 6 of the sandwiches (3 x #1 and 3 x #5) with their Buy 2 Get 1 free deal. The amount of meat wasn't too consistent between the sandwiches and 2 of the #5s I would say didn't have enough meat at all but overall pretty solid flavor-wise. My father was much more impressed by this meat pie pastry that they had, along with their hollow donuts and sesame balls. The spring rolls are a little smaller than similar places but pretty good. People behind the counter were very kind and helpful and got us our food pretty quickly after ordering. Lots of tables and clean inside if I stayed to eat there but also part of a larger plaza so parking is easily available.

Inside was also busy not not as crowded, they had some prepared meals left for sale but not many as I saw they went quick! The place looked decently clean in some areas but not in others so we had to wipe out table down and chairs. There's lots of handwritten signs of prices for items not on the main menu. I didn't see a price for soda but it is $1.59 a can. We ordered the usual buy 2 get 1 free sandwiches and this time they didn't skimp out on the fillings! Not sure what changed but there's a better portion of meat and spread than before and the bread was crispy outside, soft, chewy, and warm inside. I also ordered two sesame balls which we were told they only had two left. I also decided to try their Dish #1 Beef pho. My mom wanted a noodle soup so we tried this. I would like to say it was refreshing, flavorful, and tangy which also had bean sprouts and various beef cuts including meatball and what looked like tripe. It came with lime and fresh herbs on the side. Plenty of noodles and my toddler actually really liked it! What a great ending,

My mother ordered the sausage rice plate for me, and it came with some pickled veggies and an egg. It hit the spot and satisfied my craving. Now the service here can use some work. I unfortunately cannot speak Taiwanese... so when I was craving a sausage rice plate, I called to try and place a phone order. Unfortunately the lady on the other line was screaming at me! I asked if there was someone there who can speak English, but she just kept yelling and hung up on me. So non Taiwanese speakers be wary... you may not be able to get your order through the phone. I guess it's just one of those places where you have to point at what you want!

I don't usually eat chicken--actually, I avoided it for years. But this place completely changed…read morethat. Six years ago, I tried it for the first time, and since then, it's the only place where I'll eat chicken. That alone says everything. What keeps me coming back isn't just one thing--it's the consistency. Over six years, the quality has never slipped once. The broth is rich and deeply flavorful without being heavy, the chicken is tender and perfectly cooked every time, and even the sauces--something most places treat as an afterthought--are incredibly well-balanced and addictive. It's rare to find a place that does everything right and continues to do so year after year. This is one of those rare places. If you think you don't like chicken, this might be the place that proves you wrong.

(Almost) everything is served in to-go containers which makes taking leftovers home very convenient. We ended up taking the curry home and the employee helped pack it up. Fried wontons with cream cheese: 3/5 Not my favorite, but my cousin who really likes these types of dishes really enjoyed it! Drunken noodle: 4.5/5 Pretty good! Aptly sweet and a little spicy (we ordered mild). Wish there was a bit more meat but not a big deal. Papaya salad: 5/5 Yum! Crunchy and vibrant. Definitely squeeze the lime on there! It was pungent in the best way. Pad see ew: 3.5/5 This was alright. They use broccoli instead of gai lan, and it was too sweet for me. Mango sticky rice: 5/5 Solid! No stringy mango and it was sweet. The rice was warm, sweet from the coconut cream.

I live in Thousand Oaks but needed to come into this area for business and decided to give this place a try. Well worth it and I will be back again next time I am in town. I also purchased another Cheung fun with peanuts to go and my daughters loved it and they are picky.

After waiting an hour, a newly seated table got their rice noodle rolls in just five minutes. I was told it was because someone had placed a takeout order, waited too long, and then canceled--so they gave it to that new table instead. Meanwhile, I ended up waiting a full hour and a half for mine. On top of that, the area feels very unsafe and the environment is pretty bad. Definitely not recommended.

The waiter welcomed me with warm smile and brought me water right away. He spoke mandarin to me and kindly reminded me the "extra spicy" will be very spicy as advertised. A big bowl of hot soup was brought over after 5-8 minutes of waiting with an unbeatable price of $15 in California. And it is real Chinese spicy as promised. They do not fxxk around with their spiciness level. The whole friendly vibe and the authentic taste teleported me back to China for 30 minutes.

The standout for us was the cross bridge seafood rice noodles--it even came with a piece of abalone, which was such a nice and unexpected touch.

I've been coming to Sunny Shine BBQ for years to pick up their roast duck and roast pork, which…read morehave always been reliable favorites. This was my first time trying their special lunch menu ranging $9.99 - &13.55 instead of just ordering BBQ meats. We ordered several dishes to share: * Salt & Pepper Pork Ribs * Braised Pork with Aged Vegetables * String Bean Chicken * Egg Tofu with Mushrooms * Stir-Fried Lettuce with Fermented Bean Curd * Spicy Vermicelli Pot with Clams, Scallops & Egg White * Steamed Giant Clams with Silky Egg * Salted Fish & Chicken Tofu Pot For an extra $5, we also added a small box of their brine duck, which was a nice addition. The lunch portions were reasonable for the price, and the service was friendly throughout our visit. Parking was also easy to find during weekend lunch, which made the experience convenient. The Salt & Pepper Pork Ribs had a slightly sour taste that made us question whether it was fresh, so we couldn't finish that dish. It was disappointing because everything else was fairly decent. Overall, despite of the pork ribs, I still think Sunny Shine BBQ is a solid neighborhood, family-owned restaurant, especially for their BBQ meats that I've enjoyed over the years. Very friendly service, quiet ambiance, and convenient location have always kept me coming back.
