Been coming here for years! It always hits the spot. They do a nice job of keeping the food area clean and organized. It is a little pricy in my opinion, $18. There bowls are tiny which makes it hard to pack with toppings. You have to ask for napkins, too.

Me and my wife always stop here when out in concord. They have a big bowl option and that's great. I do the big bowl with extra noodles. It's so good and enough food for lunch and more left for dinner

Beef and chicken with double noodles

Okayyy queens now sun gate bbq is in the chopping block let's get this review started. Okay so the Dendingers have been trying new things this year. Now we have decided to try sun gate bbq and to be honest this did not disappoint. When I say wow I mean waaaooooowwww. Let's talk about the service it was amazing the lady helping us out was very nice and explained to us what options we had for food for $14 you decided if you want beef or chicken or pork and they pick your veggies. But for $4 more dollars you get to choose your meat and veggies and how much of it you put in it. So yes we decided to go for the $18 one. Now the place was very clean and they had lots of seating so if you wanted to enjoy your meal with a large family there is a lot of room. I when with chicken, tofu, carrots, onions double noodles garlic and extra sauce. For $18 you can't beat that price specially if you have left overs for lunch tomorrow. Wife went with beef, chicken, carrots, broccoli, extra garlic, extra noodles and extra sauce. Son went with beef carrots cucumbers and regular noodles. For all this we paid $80 with 4 drinks and we still had lots of left overs.

this place was fireee, def going back soon. It was my very first time after passing it so many years and no kap it's shmack Beef Choice

Delicious ! And clean first time trying the place and it was so delicious , fast and hot

The worker that needs to be fired
Joanna C.

**** FIRE THIS WORKER **** Please see pics attached of this man so you can be aware of who he is. Me and my family have been coming here for about 20 years now. By far this man seen in the picture needs to be fired or investigated immediately by the owners. He is very rude and arrogant and discriminated against my child who is Autistic. This isn't the first time we have encounter this type of behavior from this worker. We paid $18 per plate and I kindly asked if he could pls separate my child's plate while cooking on the grill from other peoples food cooking due to my son not liking other peoples sauces and meats touching his food. Plus my child cannot eat any type of meat. Never had an issue with the other workers who kindly comply with our request cleaning the grill throughout the years. This man in the picture disregarded our request to clean the grill (I told him I would wait patiently wait) and he proceeded to cook my child's food not cleaning the grill like requested and throwing his bowl of food ontop of a grill that had a whole bunch of beef sauces and pieces of cooked meat stuck to it. When asked why did he do that? he looked at me and sarcastically told me that's how it is!! And slammed the plate in my hand while laughing. He did not let me talk to him, he told me to eat it or throw it away. Under his voice he stated "you don't need to come back then" Excuse me?!!!! I am sorry but this worker needs to be fired. Customers can die over his stupidity. People have allergic reactions to things and when requested to clean a grill or not cook the food near others food too closely he should not have an issue with it. Never in 20 years going here have I ever had an issue from the other workers. They kindly clean the grill for my son and go with our requests. My son refused to eat his plate because it had pieces of beef stuck to all the noodles which he cannot eat and is allergic if the grill isn't cleaned. Horrible experience. We threw all the plates away after paying $18 per plate. Word of mouth goes a long way. I will be letting everyone I know about what happened and I will post his pics on every community page so people can be aware and not go to this place anymore. This man's actions could have caused serious harm with my child's health.

Preset choice plate BEEF, where they do everything for you. $14. Tax & beverage not included.

Ahh, Mongolian BBQ, an all-time dietary weakness of mine. Sun Gate's been through a few ownership & name changes through the years. But, it still occupies the same spot on the 2nd level of the venerated Sun Valley Mall, next to JC Penny. I had this place on my radar awhile, finally making it in. Ratings had me quizzical with various gripes throughout the threads. Looks like I hit the spot at just the right time--11am--where the scene isn't quite as chaotic yet with hungry lunchtime patrons salivating for their scrumptious stir fry. Here's the deal (literally): For $14, you can select your protein. This option, they do everything for you with preset-measured ingredients (including the protein). It's a real handy, quicker option. And the portion size with this choice is pretty hefty, even for a big guy like me. Perfect size (see photo). For $18, they give you your own bowl (kinda small bowls truthfully) and you build your own. It's not AYCE (all you can eat) either, just 1 pass through the line. This might work best if there's certain veggies that you wouldn't want with the preset option, or if you just prefer making your own bowl. And yes, if you know the secrets to packing the bowl (without breaking it, lol), you can probably get at least 25% more food than the preset option I'm guessing. Essentially 2 meals. $18 is kinda steep though in my book, breaking the price ceiling of any other Mongolian spot I've ever been to for non-AYCE. Either choice is without tax, drink or (optional) tip for the fry cook. So, you're gonna blow up most of a $20 bill or more no matter. My food came out piping hot from the grill and tasted great. Maybe not an everday indulgence, but a great occasional treat.

a plate of noodles and shrimp
Michael M.

Thank you for showing me what a horrible Mongolian grill establishment looks like. They don't let you pick your own veggies. Everything is pre packaged. They don't have sauces or flavors for you to add to your food like normal. Shrimp was old and disgusting. You guys should be ashamed of running this! Will never return.

They definitely raised the prices and provide smaller bowls than when they first opened, but hey, the food is still good. They don't always have the same produce, there's a "seasonal section" which is okay. My son loves this place because of the noodles so we continue to come here if we're ever at the mall. Even if the price came up, the food is still very tasty. Get the "Best Choice" for extra noodles.

Vegetables and Noodles

We have been eating here for quite a few years. Regrettably I will longer eat here anymore. The amount of vegetables is very poor. All you see are carrots and a 4 pieces of broccoli. Flavor is good. It's only teriyaki. If you don't like vegetables this might be a good place for you.

We were actually originally planning on going to our favorite Indian buffet in town, only to…read morediscover that it's closed forever. Thankfully, there were lots of other restaurants nearby, so we stopped here since the reviews looked good and it'd been a while since we'd had Burmese food. Decided to split the honey beef + garlic noodles with chicken and ended up ordering a house egg fried rice too because we were curious (and hungry). Everything was super tasty! Portions were pretty good and all 3 dishes were very flavorful. Our server was super nice and attentive + the carafe of water was quite welcomed as it was a pretty hot day. Parking wasn't hard to find (we came on a weekend morning), so we are probably gonna default to coming here since it's a lot easier to get to (+ food is just as good) compared the the Burmese restaurant in Walnut Creek!

We always order the tea leaf salad- then decide from there on the other dishes…read moreWe tried the veggie somosas this time- never again. This was the first dish from here we didn't enjoy. The sauce was awful that came with them- it didn't pair well at all. We said we prefer the Costco or trader joe ones We love the green beans with large prawns We took most of our meals home- mine was better later, after the garlic noodles had time for the flavors to marinate Hubby had beef noodles We felt very rushed- the apps had just been delivered, and our food came right after. I had also ordered the crab garlic noodles, but the server came back and said they were out. Had I known this I would have ordered differently. There was a pumpkin dish I was also looking at Restrooms and restaurant were clean Plenty of parking in the parking structure

I tried the Numbing Spicy Minced Pork Noodles yesterday, and they were delicious. I went with…read moretheir widest noodle option, and the noodles were thick, chewy, and bouncy. The minced pork sauce clung onto them really really well. The minced pork had a nice balance of sweet and savory, although it leaned towards a little sweeter than I personally prefer. But it wasn't a problem at all, since I was able to adjust the flavor to make it more savory by using the Chicken Granules, Cumin, Chili Oil, and White Pepper condiments. Overall, it was a very satisfying dish! We also tried their new shaved ice dessert. It wasn't like the Hawaiian style shaved ice which is based on frozen water, but more like Korean style Bingsoo with a milky shaved ice base. The flavor and texture were both good, but I thought it was missing the toppings. It relied solely on syrup, and I think it would've been much better with fresh fruit or other toppings to add more flavor. It was $5.99 per order as of July 2026.

My 2nd or 3rd time here. I found this last time via Yelp!…read more Same consistency this time: like how fresh the noodles tasted and felt. The dumplings and beef baos were good. What I liked about this place was the both was not too heavy or salty: just about right plain and simple. The ribs noodle was good. Amazingly the chicken wings were very good. Got Pig Ears and Cold noodles take out at the end: very good. Not too salty. Service was quick, accurate and finely. Very clean, simple store. Not overly decorated. Parking was easy.

We've tried many Thai restaurants locally, and this one truly stands out. The portions are generous, which is rare since many Thai restaurants tend to serve smaller portions. I ordered Prawn Sarong (shrimp w/ bacon) and Pad Woosen (glass noodles w/ chicken, mushroom++). There's also a great variety of dishes on the menu, so there's something for everyone. The restaurant itself is very clean, and the customer service is fantastic. Ko, the owner, was especially kind and a pleasure to talk with, which made the experience even better. Please support this wonderful local business. It's rare these days to find a restaurant that delivers both excellent food and great value, and this place absolutely does. For Filipinos out there, they serve Crispy Pata for $18. Give it a try!

I came across another Yelper's review and decided to try out Okini Sushi, in Pleasant Hill. It's a few miles off the 680 freeway, located in a scenic neighborhood. I ordered a delicious crab meat salad topped with avocados and I ordered off of the Happy Hour menu, with an aloha roll, it is a crabmeat, cucumber roll salmon on top with seaweed salad decorating the top of the roll. I ordered the mini chirashi don, which was a perfect main dish with five large slices of sashimi over rice, seaweed salad and a couple of nice spices of tamagoyaki (rolled egg), plus miso soup and a side salad. Easy listening music plays in the background, the wait staff are very nice and polite. The family at the next table with two little kids were given cute children's sectioned plates with kids' chopsticks, which was very convenient for the four year old to use, however, the two year old wasn't big enough to use chopsticks. This was a perfectly delicious lunch, with enough leftovers for a later dinner meal. Do try out this restaurant if you're driving along in the East Bay on the very long 680 freeway, it's a detour of five miles in land. There is plenty of parking here, it's located next to a barbecue shop with sauces, which I'll need to check out afterwards.

The tables are not that close so you can have a private conversation. Our server was spot on, came back numerous times just to check on us. As for the food, we had the Titanic Roll. It was large and flavorful. It just had a little too much cucumber for me. 4/5. The Sushi lunch was reasonably priced, super fresh fish with decent sized slices. I truly loved the CA roll that came along with the Nigiri. One of the best CA rolls I've had in a long time. 5/5 It's a distance from our home but I know when we are on that side of the hill running errands on a Saturday, we will be coming back. 100% Recommended
