Any semblance to REAL Chinese food, and the crap they pawn off as Chinese food they sell you is purely coincidental. The Egg Rolls were greasy, the Sweet and Sour Shrimp were nothing but breaking with the tiniest of Shrimp inside. The soups were flavorless. The vegetables in the entree are over cooked to make them soggy, colorless, and completely tasteless. Caveat Emptor, Let the Buyer Beware, you have been warned. read more

Great price large proportions! We've been coming here off and on for years and they definitely have the best Chinese food in the area. They don't "water down" their entrees with vegetables like the other place down the road. read more

This is basically really bland dumbed down Americanized Chinese food. It was pretty bad. Chopsticks (the next strip mall over) is not the best, but certainly better then this. read more

Worst Place Ever! I wouldn't even give it a star if I could. Women who answers phone needs a lesson in customer service and manners! Delivery took over 1 hour and 45 minutes. They still got the order wrong. I called her 5 times asking where my food was. When I asked for a discount on food because order was wrong all she was willing to do was 15%. She still charged the full amount. Stay away...they aren't the only game in town! read more

First, I would agree with some of the other reviews that this is probably one of the best options around for local Chinese take-out because the food is fresh and the portions are large. Strictly from a taste standpoint however, I would say their dishes are only marginally better than the rest in the Gurnee,/Lindenhurst/Grayslake area. I realize different strokes for different folks, but having eaten at great Chinese places in Chicago, SF and Hong Kong, I know of no other standards to go by. Would I go back again in a pinch? Sure...but you might have to pinch me hard. read more

Dishes are generally good as far as taste. Sometimes meat is over cooked. However for delivering they get 4 stars.

This place is gross. The first time I ate in the restaurant and the food was mediocre at best and really expensive as far as Chinese food goes. That was a few years ago. Tonight, we ordered in. They are the only place in the area who delivers. Once again, totally gross. The rangoons were like rubber. I've had better lo mein from the frozen food section from the grocery store. The only thing that was better for me than the other reviews is that it arrived in a very timely manner. Find a different place or go to the Taco Bell right up the street... read more

Best Chinese in Lake County (at the least). Great portions, well made. Great deal for the $$$$. Been ordering from Red Sun for a couple of yrs - never had a dud, read more

Okay so first, food took forever to get here, delivery guy was definitely high on marijuana. After receiving my food, I realized that I was missing 2 orders of chicken, one order of chicken fried rice, and one smoothie. The one order of chicken I did get was slimy and smelled like ass. Literally. I also found out that what I thought was 6 cookies, turned out to be 6 orders of cookies, so like 60 cookies total. The smoothie was horrible, warm, and tasted like water. Lo mein was horrible, the fried rice had chunks of salt in it, and they didn't give me a copy of the receipt assumable because the delivery guy was high. So overall the food was bad, cold, salty, over priced, and disappointing. Horrible over all. It was as bad of an experience as a gay guy trying to have sex with a woman. read more

Love this place. Traveled back from Boca Raton and ordered my favorite...schezwan green beans and the Mongolian beef dish and it was just as great even after 3 years of being away! Great food...Great service. Highly recommend read more

Ordered House Chow mein, must have got the vegan version , very little meat in it all fillers and not even what I would call Chinese vegetables.All celery and carrots and canned shrooms. Recieved very stale chowmein noodels. Fried rice was rice and very fatty pork, no egg no sprouts unlike any fried rice I've ever had. Nothing I;ve had rom there seems fresh, I think they cook from a can. Tossed the Chow Mein in the garbage.I live nearby and that is it for this place. Save your $$ and by a can of LaChoy read more

Ok I tried this place twice and it really is terrible, it's been a while since we've been there but no way does this place deserve 5 stars. Maybe somthing has changed since than but I'm not trying it again. The food did not tase good at all and was not fresh. I usually don't like to leave a negative review but when I saw this place had 5 stars I had to leave a comment..... read more

Food was good; but the service left a bad taste in my mouth. Very unprofessional and rude.

Ordered the food online and picked ASAP pickup. My husband was there only 15 minutes later picking up some of the best Chinese food I have had in a long time! He loved the Szechwan chicken, and I loved my chicken and shrimp with veggies. The sauce was great. I was hoping it would be good since the prices were a little higher. Worth the money!! read more

Love this restaurant! The people who work there buy all their ingredients fresh early in the morning and deliver yummy food. This is, personally, my favorite Chinese restaurant. They also sell the best tea and cutest jewelry that I've ever seen/purchased at a restaurant. read more

Red Sun was incredible! They accomodated my needs outside of their regular delivery hours so I could send food to a friend for their birthday. They made sure everything was done to perfection, and went well above and beyond for me. Thank you so much for all of your efforts!! read more

Been a relatively satisfied customer for years but always bought carryout. However, last night I decided to try delivery for the first time. Big mistake. After 1.5 hours of waiting and 2 order status check calls, I cancelled the order. People manning the phone didn't seem that they had a handle on deliveries. Lady with English language difficulty attempted to blame the address, suggesting that I changed my delivery address during one of the calls. I believe that is what she was attempting to relay??? Will go elsewhere from now. read more

Food came 50 minutes late two hours after the order was placed. They advertise free egg roll with 30.00 purchase has a 40 plus dollar purchase no egg roll. Request fried rice with chicken and pea pods no fried rice came with the order. Called to complain nothing was offered to rectify the situation. Will never order from here again. Food arrived cold and was not even good. read more

We have been coming to this restaurant for a long time and we have always picked up our food....never have to wait long. I have only good things to say and have never had the experiences of some of the reviewers here. The food is always fresh and made out in the open. No one has ever been rude to me there, actually pleasant. Their food is really delicious. Excellent sweet-sour soup, eggrolls, potstickers, egg foo young, and many more selections. When we don't want to cook, this is who we call. read more

I really enjoy this place! They have delicious food and it is by far my favorite choice in the area. They give you generous portions and it always tastes fresh. This is my go to place from now on for Chinese food! read more

We used to visit Red Sun at least twice a month. Tonight after picking up my order I realized I was missing one entree after getting home. I went back and was accused of lying. The woman demanded I go home and bring back the order so she could see that the entree was missing. I did so...when I returned they had found the entree and offered it to me. I returned all the food and asked for a refund. What terrible customer service over the price of one entree - to accuse the customer of trying to cheat them out of one entree! I will never return to Red Sun. read more

Best eggrolls around. Food very tasty. Its like pulling teeth to get mustard, but highly recommended.

Excellent Saturday night dinner, hot sour soup, sesame chicken, beef with green peppers and tea. Had a great quiet evening and a delicious meal! Great friendly & quirky staff!!!!! Thank You. Awesome new prices, too..... read more

Not bad for takeout Chinese. A little on the bland side, but can order extra spicy.

After waiting almost an hour for our food, Red Sun failed to deliver all items ordered. When I called to advise them of this I was told "yeah, we got slammed tonight". I guess that made it alright. I was offered a credit, which I declined, as I plan on never going back. They then offered for me to come pick it up, after I've already paid for delivery. I declined that offer and was told it may take up to two hours, if at all tonight. Are they freaking kidding!!!!....I've already waited for an hour.... Never Again!!!....Extremely poor customer service!!!... read more

My friend and I went in to Red Sun for dinner and order our food. The young man was nice at the counter as I ordered. I asked him the difference between the Mongolian beef and the Pepper beef. He said ONLY thing was that the pepper beef had more sauce and the Mongolian was more dry with the crunchy noodles. So, I order my Pepper steak and added with an extra charge, water chestnuts and baby corn. My appetizer and food came at the same time as my friends appetizer, soup, and dinner came out. They didn't space the food coming out of the kitchen. I took two bites of my dinner and couldn't eat it anymore. I asked the young man what was the little black things is in it? He said black beans...I can't eat black beans and was not told they were in there or I wouldn't have ordered it. He said do you want something else and I said yes I will take the Mongolian beef. I thought that was nice until he returned with two spoonfuls of beef. I said I am not happy with two spoon fills and paid twenty dollars for my meal and extra charge for the corn and water chestnuts that are not in this meal. I literally only ate two small bites of my original meal. He said he the owner is mad too! I said I am the customer and he is mad at me? He starts screaming at the young man in Chinese which was the second time he did that! That was so embarrassing to the young man, my friend, myself, the customers, and everyone outside that can hear him. I will make sure that everyone I know and through social media knows my experience of being screamed at, cheated out of $20 dollars, had my appetizer, and two spoonfuls of my dinner, and embarrassed and felt like I did something wrong when I clearly asked what was in my order before I ordered! Not even I am sorry, let me give you a refund, let me give you a coupon for next time, let me give you a discount, a meal to go, no just nothing but an disappointing experience that I hope no one else goes through that! read more

I considered giving one star based on the very poor customer service we received, but I bumped it to two stars because the food wasn't awful. It wasn't great, but not awful. They don't have good egg rolls, though. We were told to pick up our food in 20 minutes. We arrived 20 minutes later and stood there watching customer after customer come and go. It's now a half hour after we were told to be there and we are now convinced that they never put our order in until we arrived. So we asked how much longer it was going to be, and the lady was extremely rude to us giving us every excuse you can imagine. She told us that the potstickers are made fresh in a 4-step process and we said that's fine, but you shouldn't tell people to be here in 20 minutes if it's going to be an hour. We the food was finally done, she dropped it on the counter pointing at it and said, "There you go" in a rude snippy manner. We waited 45 minutes in the restaurant. She didn't apologize for the long wait, she didn't thank us, or any of that. I left livid and couldn't believe how rude she was. NEVER going back. read more
