The food is absolutely delicious. I have been a few times and ordered something different each time (pad Thai, mango black rice sushi, Burmese stir fry). The menu is extensive and includes a variety of different (mostly southeast) Asian dishes. I love and savor every bite! However, you must have time because service is quite slow and takes a while- the quality of the food is well worth the wait though as long as you know your time spent there will be longer than average! Prices are very reasonable as well. Check it out - the food definitely will not disappoint. read more

Highly recommend the tea salad. Very flavorful! Get the black rice rolls- they're amazing! Pumpkin curry stew is über yummerz. The katkaykite was great- flavorfully spicy! Mango sticky rice was good, and the sauce was the best. The service is truly 5 star worthy. Highly recommend this place!!! read more

Sun Cuisines - Black rice roll! - Thai Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Good food, interesting options, like black rice sushi (also available at Orchid in Kenmore), and nice owners. I would go there more frequently if the portions weren't so small that I end up thinking it was a bad value. A small plate of bean thread noodles with a handful of vegetables seemed like a bad deal. On the other hand, if you like sweets, my friend loved her coconut milk sweet rice with mango. Their soups are a better option, and the sushi is good. I had the whole fish once, which was also good, but a bit of an ordeal navigating all those bones. read more

After eating really good Thai and Burmese food in the western parts of the US, this was a little underwhelming. Their Tea leaf salad was ok, their Pnang curry was pretty sweet and mild and fried rice was good. Service was amazing and portions were on the smaller side. But all the flavors were there and the food was fresh. read more

Food was great as usual. Really wish I could give this place 5 stars but once again service was extremely slow starting with out drink order on through to the desserts; which by the time we got them we were ready to just go home. It also seemed like a Big deal that we Asked for more rice a few times, as we were a big party and shared all of the dishes so we needed more than one rice bowl per entree. Will still definitely come back, as I mentioned above the food is excellent !! read more

Stopped here for dinner and was surprised by the inside of the place. It's in a not so great part of Buffalo but the inside had nice decor. We ordered the Mango Chicken, 2 Burmese Flat Wide Noodle (Kat Kyay Kite) chicken and shrimp version, Green Curry, Sun's Eggplant Dish, and Chicken Curry. We first tried the chicken curry with a bread with a similar consistency to nan but way softer. It was tasty and I enjoyed the spices of the dish. Next was the eggplant dish which was cooked perfectly crisp and the whole table enjoyed it. The Burmese Flat Wide Noodles was my favorite dish on the table but it was labeled as spicy on the menu but it just had a slight spice and I was expecting a bit more. In contrast, someone else at the table thought the dish was very spicy, so it depends on your tolerance level. The green curry was okay, it certainly wasn't bad but the other dishes were just better. I took off one star because the waitress forgot to bring out the Mango chicken but the waitress was also polite. read more

Happy to see Buffalo has (some) good Asian food. My Burmese flat noodle lunch special with fish cakes came with a deceptively spicy side salad with sesame dressing and a sour vegetable soup. Great start. The Burmese flat noodle was like a hot and sour version of pad see ew. Good but I'm still more a pad see ew fan. Btw, I did not see pad see ew on the lunch menu. The fish cakes in the noodles were near street food perfection though :) Do not get this noodle dish if you can't handle fresh bacteria killing galangal. The decor reminds me of a casual Italian restaurant in a Jersey suburb. There are Tuscan earth tones with a hint of yellow gold. There is a somewhat out of place mini chandelier There are booths that look like they belong in a diner, likely a vestige of an earlier establishment but also perhaps intentional. The portraits of everyday Thai and Burmese life decorating the walls, however, quickly remind me what kind of restaurant I'm in. There is a 60's tiki bar if you need reassurance that you are dining in an Asian restaurant in America. Glass adorns your white tabletop for easy cleaning. It's good for the environment and keeps the establishment in top top shape. They also serve black rice sushi which I believe is of the glutinous variety. Not sure how well that pairs with raw fish but I will give it shot if and when I'm in these parts again. read more

Absolutely amazing! We were not sure based on the neighborhood --but we were really happy that we went for it. Atmosphere is very peaceful and relaxing. The food was spectacular. Our group of 11 (including five children) all tried something different. My 3 yr old LOVED the pumpkin soup! Everything was awesome and we're really glad we didn't let the exterior deter us from enjoying some of the best Asian fusion food we've had! read more

I've never felt the need to review before but since I felt my experience was completely different than many others I figured I should. First, the mango rolls were really good! They were unique and flavorful, which is the only reason I'll give 2 stars. I ordered the Curry noodle dish and it had some spice, but no real flavor. I've never had a bland curry before! There were so many noodles, with barely any chicken, and hardly any sauce. My daughter got the fried rice which was - ok. The veggies looked like they were frozen and from a package. (Thai Orchid in Williamsville is SO MUCH better! Fresh veggies in every dish). Then we ordered the rice pudding for dessert. It was literally their black rice scooped in a bowl with overly sweetened coconut milk poured on top. What a disappointment! I paid enough for this meal that I felt cheated. I might try their rolls again at their satellite shop since those were pretty good, but I'll never go back to the restaurant. Service was mediocre. The staff was very nice and friendly (hence giving 2 stars, not 1) but our glasses were empty and it took a while for them to fill it up. It was just meh.... read more

Visited the area while taking my family to Niagara Falls! Black rice sushi concept was very interesting. I enjoyed the flavor of the black rice - just not sure if I'd prefer that over the usual sushi rice that's used. The salmon pieces I got were very good. The food was definitely good overall but the service was just a little slow for only 2 tables. read more

While I rarely eat in and usually take out the dine in experience is great! Friendly staff and a nice relaxed ambience. It's never loud so for professionals it's a great place to take a small group to dinner if you wanna go over things and enjoy some great food. While I haven't had the time to eat in as much as I'd like I'm constantly ordering takeout from them and even skip the dishes to my office. The coconut noodle soup is my go to but they offer a wide variety or Burmese and Thai cuisine. I'm a Thai Foodie so some suggestions would be the Pho, Pad Thai, red curry w chicken, spring rolls and who doesn't love sushi? Certainly the place does not need my validation as they are regarded as one of the top places in buffalo but it doesn't get more consistently good than this place! read more

I've been here several times. General Asian food here is good, like the chow fun. But Thai and Burmese food is just plain. Nothing special. The service was good before but now, is really really bad. No smile, no adding water. They even forgot to open the hot lid. They added 20% service charge by themselves. But it does not worth the price at all!!! read more

Food and service was excellent! We came for a late lunch on our way back from the Falls, based on other Yelp reviews and we are all pleased, even our toddler. None of us enjoy spicy food, and there was plenty to choose from the menu. First we started with the black rice salad for an app and it was so refreshing and a great way to set the tone. We ordered my son the chicken dumplings but he preferred the orange pieces from the salad. The server was nice enough to bring us a bowl of orange pieces for him to eat and we had the dumplings. Those were par for the course. I enjoyed the Chicken Coconut Noodle Soup. I wasn't sure how I felt about the hard boiled egg, but once I had it I understood. Then I gave my son some of the noodles and he devoured them. It was a huge serving and so good. My husband had the beef Pad Thai Beef which was also delicious. Noodles were perfectly cooked and weren't mushy. My MIL had the Burmese Fried Rice and that had lots of fresh veggies and wasn't oily at all. My FIL had the Seafood in the Clay Pot that came out piping hot. I had a bite and it was yummy, without being overly fishy. The only negative is you have to go through a not so pretty part of town. But, we didn't feel unsafe getting there . We will definitely be back to visit when we're in the area next time. I'd even consider going when I have a hankering for good Asian c and a few hours to kill. read more

Love their food and the staff is always very nice. Great environment when you are able to eat in. Really like that you can order online. My only complaint is that when you order online it automatically give you a time for pickup that might not be accurate as it is set up for them assuming they are busy. read more

Really good Thai food. Their chicken curry was delicious and so the noddles. The only dish we didn't like was Lemongrass Fish..it was deep fried and lemongrass flavor was missing but overall the experience was great! read more

Great food and good atmosphere. Had heard a lot about this place and how good it was, so we had to try it for ourselves. From the sushi, to the pho, and the pad thai, we were not disappointed! read more

Sun Cuisines - The tuna melon was especially good! - Thai Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Delicious food and wonderful service! We were in town for business and this restaurant caught our eye because of its unique menu of black rice, Thai and Burmese dishes. My dish was the pad kee mao, which was amazing! My colleague ordered the whole fish, and we shared. Both were fresh, delicious and delicate in flavor. I cannot wait to come back! read more

Finally made it here. What a beautiful restaurant, You easily forget you are on Niagara Street. We started with a black rice green garden roll, Avocado, asparagus, cilantro, sesame seed, cucumber, and sweet chili sauce. Never had anything like it. Light and Delicious. My husband had Suns Loaded Fried Rice which really was loaded with veggies, chicken shrimp, beef. He loved it. My friend had the pan seared salmon file. It smelled so good it was all I could do not to steal it off her plate. I had the seafood in the clay pot. Seafood simmered in a sweet/spicy/savory sauce that was heaven. We can't wait to go back. read more

The Niagara Street location, the original location, in Buffalo is always quite good. But the Williamsville location is lousy.

It is with a heavy heart that I click two starsThis is depressing,and I hate to do this but,Sun has gone way dowhill. I have been eating here since the restaurant was in a tiny area in the back of the store,and hot,prompt delivery was an option It used to be my favorite place,no question. I admit to being spoiled by eating with my Burmese neighbors but it was certainly nice to be able to treat them to a delicious meal that they didnt have to cook! As happens to many establishments that decide to ugrade,the delivery option was gone,the place large,beautiful (with crazy heavy cutlery!). fancier,but food quality was ok for a while...then,enter Black Rice Sushi..... The rest of the menu suffered,and I began to hear grumbles from loyal customers,friends about the quality of the food....sadly,I had to agree. Enter another location,and I ordered my last takeout shortly after,it was really disappointing.. Chicken Coconut soup,my go to here,and Chicken w Curry -Nan Gyi Thoat,Beef Curry..portions were shrunk,and the flavors lacking.I had to fix it at homeand yet,I persisted,hoping that they would get their mojo back. No I went last weekend,looking for a warm satisfying meal ,at around 3 on the afternoon,and it will be my last visit Our Tempura Vegetables were greasy,leaving a puddle on the paper and there was no light crisp coating..and the Coconut Shrimp flattened to a sliver of shrimp I always get the Samusa Soup,and it tasted of nothing but coconut milk and onion,no background flavors..We wondered if there was perhaps a new or no chef at all? We enjoyed or Yellow Tail Sushi Entrees.... Beef Curry,in a thin broth?? Pad Gad Pow,what the hell happened? Seafood as always but the squid too tough to chew! No flavor, none.Not available mild,good ...I always loved it No basil at all ,no complex delicious flavors Soggy,disintegrating noodles I sent it back,only to have it re plated and returned w some mild heat added. It was a major dissapointment. We took it home,where I attempted to fix it,no good,noodles were a starchy mess I have never written such an extensive review,nor such a negative one. I have been sending people here for YEARS I gave a lot of thought to this,and had input from several friends who experienced similar disappointments I hope the owners see this ,and pay attention. If this keeps up,they will continue to lose customers.They have lost me. read more

Wonderful dinner here in late July 2018. Visiting Buffalo for GardenWalk. Sun Cuisines is a gem! We had: Sun "Flavor Bomb" Salad, Pumpkin Curry (with vegetables and tofu) and Burmese Flat Wide Noodles with vegetables and tofu. For dessert we could not resist the black sticky rice with mango. There was a promotion that for checking in the restaurant on Yelp, you received free ice cream, which was also delicious. All the dishes were so flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. It was such a treat to savor this unique cuisine from Burma. Also, the wine was excellent, service was friendly and professional. The decor in the restaurant is lovely. I do not understand some of the comments in previous reviews criticizing the decor inside or outside the restaurant. I will definitely return to this restaurant in the future and highly recommend it! read more

Came for lunch recently and was both impressed and disappointed. The food was great (I had shrimp tempura and spicy salmon rolls) but the service was unbelievably slow. We arrived at 11:30 and didn't receive our food until 1:15. It seemed like everyone was waiting a long time and generally irritated. A few friends ordered different wraps, etc. The soy wraps were soggy - it was clear they had been sitting. We all mutually agreed that while the food was pretty good, we probably wouldn't be back because it took so long to be taken care of. Such a shame. read more

This is by far one of the best restaurants in Buffalo. It is run by a dedicated pair of Burmese immigrants, employs people from the community, and it constantly improving it's menu and it's process. I've been going here since it was a little order-up window at the back of an asian grocery. Now it's a full-service, dine-in or take-out restaurant. It's been amazing seeing the progress. The food is incredible, and it's an amazing opportunity to try Burmese cuisine, or stick to some of your favorite, classic Thai dishes. The fermented tea leaf salad is a must. And all the main dishes are excellent. They even will make any dish vegetarian, if possible!! read more

Absolutely excellent dining experience! Comfortable interior with a friendly, knowledgeable staff to assist with questions. Every plate I've tasted is fresh and layered with flavors. I always go back for the steamed dumplings and order something new every trip, never leaving hungry or disappointed. The prices are quite reasonable, most entrees are under $20 and the portions are quite generous, they usually end up being lunch the next day. How have I gone this far in life without knowing about black rice?! One day, I promise myself, I will order the Bird's Nest. read more

In a word, disappointing. Primarily, I suspect from the service, or more correctly, the lack thereof. We had reservations (recommended), and were seated rather promptly. They were busy, but did not have a crowd of people at the door. After putting in our order ("No problem!") the waiter disappeared. A couple followed us in, put in their order at about the same time as us, had their meal delivered and mostly consumed before our appetizer appeared. [Apparently the sushi is.... slow. Not really an appetizer. They could have brought out the salad first... ] The main meal followed immediately on its heels, thereby crowding the table with dishes. I found the food to be adequate, although uninspired. I'm not a foodie, nor aspire to be one. I suspect that the lack of enjoyment of the food could be due (mostly) to the delay. read more

They love to change the decor/layout here pretty often it seems, but what has stayed consistent is the quality and flavor of the food. We probably eat here once a month on average, and think it's great that there's stuff a kid will like as well as more adult-oriented flavors and spicing. And the prices, for the quality, are terrific. I especially love the (oft-copied) Black Rice Salad. read more

I'll admit I fell in love with this place the first time I came here and nothing has changed. Friendly attentive service, immaculately clean and black rice. We ordered the Tiger roll and the family three roll platter and ate till we burst.... Hard to figure how much to order, your eyes want to try everything, and I haven't been disappointed yet! read more

Sun Cuisines - Thai Near Me - Buffalo, New York

See all

There avocado roll is amazing. Especially with the sweet drizzle sauce they use. They also use brown rice which is also healthier. There fried tofu is also another good choice. If your looking for a healthy yummy option sun cuisines is a great option. Hope this helps!! read more

It seemed like a heck of a challenge finding good restaurants in the Buffalo area that serve vegan food. We ended up at this one when a vegan place in the neighborhood was closed and what a happy occurrence it proved to be. The food was wonderful, the staff kind and accomodating and the atmosphere is lovely. I highly recommend Sun Cuisines! read more

When in Canada u need to stop here @ Pho Xyclo n have some Pho! This place is good!!! I would of taken a picture of the pho but it got in my belly to quick! Lol! read more

This place made me the best pad thai I've ever had. The flavor was so complex but not overpowering, big juicy chunks of chicken and shrimp, very crisp and fresh bean sprouts. Anything but basic. Although they dont advertise as a Japanese restaurant, there is authentic ramen on the menu as well. I generally prefer a soft boiled egg, but other than that, the tonkatsu broth is superb. They were very generous on the nori too. I love this place and I am definitely coming back. I appreciate how they were very attentive to our safety doing curbside delivery during Covid. Thank you so much for continuing to feed us top notch meals. read more

This place had a nice ambiance, great servers. The food was delicious, I highly recommend the soft shell crab! We were in Buffalo for 2 days but my girlfriend insisted we skip the cheesecake factory (which she never went to before) to go back to Sun! I had 2 black rice rolls which were tasty, and chicken pad thai which was quite good. Definitely recommend! read more

Tried the fried red snapper and grilled salmon collar. The red snapper was good. The collar was too fatty for my taste. The golden squid appetizer was delicious. read more

The place is a beautiful, small, cozy restaurant, with an Asian appeal. The artwork on the walls evoke emotions. It's a somewhat tight space, but the beauty of the place makes up for it. The food was delicious. The plates had vibrant, colorful foods. They deserved a picture, they were so pretty. I held myself from digging in just so i could enjoy the view a while longer. The soups I had were excellent. Black rice salad is worth another trip to Niagara falls. A number of vegan options, all the food I order was vegan. The service was welcoming. The server was soft spoken and respectful. My one complaint is that she came over too many times to ask if we were ready to order, i briefly got annoyed. Other than that the service was great. The price is unmatched. I have never had food of that quality for that price. This is the reason I gave it five stars. We had plate after plate and the bill was only $74. Best experience I had in Niagara falls. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and visit this place. read more

If you have a lot of time to waste, its the perfect restaurant. The food is fantastic but the service is shockingly bad. I am not trying to ruin anyone's business. I will also recognize the fantastic food/service at their Main street location. My last 2 visits here were abysmal. Table of 8 (otherwise empty restaurant) sat at the table for 30 mins before my wife had to ask for water/drinks, we then waited another 15 for it to arrive. When the food finally arrived, one member of our party stared at an empty table, while he begged us to start without him. Unfortunately, 7 of us had finished eating as his meal arrived. At that point he asked for it to be put in a "to go" container. Said container arrived, no apology, no taking it off the bill. Clueless. This was one of my go to restaurants but after consecutive terrible experiences, we will NEVER go back. read more

LOVE this place. The servers are so nice, and the food is truly unique. My favorite is the green curry and the potato samusas with spicy sauce. read more

Probably hands down the best spicy tuna roll I've had, the food was amazing. I can't wait to order again!!!!! Such a great menu and selection, definitely worth trying out! read more

Hands down...best Thai/Vietnamese place in Buffalo. Came here to celebrate my 30th birthday on a Thursday night. They had $5 saki/$5 sushi roll specials. Ordered a crab roll as an appetizer before my basil noodle dish. Always enjoy a Thai iced tea when there as well. read more
