My son went away on vacation and I was housesitting for them. They had leftover Chinese food in the fridge and I ate it all. Then I text them from Calgary to Mexico asking them. Where did they get this delicious Chinese food. Sun Island eatery they said and it's the best Chinese food they've ever had. So tonight I drove all the way from Auburn Bay to Sun Valley and ordered takeout. The gal was very well organized taking orders, checking on delivery helping customers in and out of the kitchen accepting phone calls. She was amazing and very nice. I told her my story and she said wow and that was just leftovers. I'm definitely going back again and again and again. read more

Unfortunately tonight wasn't their night. They mixed up a bunch of orders and were extremely late. Customers waited more than an hour and a half for their take out, so disappointing. read more

First time trying out Sun Island and it was wonderful. my kids took me there for my birthday and we had the dinner for six. everything was cooked to perfection with lots of flavour and crispy textures. The service was great as well! friendly and very attentive. The restaurant itself is very clean, quaint, and comfortable. Will definitely go again! read more

Not my "Go-to" Chinese Restaurant, but I have not had a bad meal either eating in or take out. The food portions are quite good, the last time I ate there I had a noodle dish, it was enough for two lunches. I'm a big guy, and I was satisfied with the amount, and quality of the food. Staff have always greeted me, and I cannot complain about the ambiance. read more

Great food good service. Try the Chicken and cashews in yellow bean sauce. Best in Calgary read more

I had the pleasure to pick up some food from that place on Father's Day. the place was busy but the ambiance was warm. The food was excellent and everyone who work there was amazingly kind and helpful. I will definitely order from them again. read more

Great Chinese food. Never dined inside but takeout is usually superb. Have only had a couple bad meals over past 3 years and usually eat their Chinese ~ 8 times a year, only 10% wasn't up to usual quality. read more

We've been ordering from here for over ten years. Anytime we try another restaurant we regret it. The quality of their food is great and it's always consistent. read more

Very good Chinese restaurant with a wide selection of dishes using multiple different sauces that deliver very distinct flavours to each dish. read more

Good food. Family run so service can be a little hit and miss. They did give it their best though.

These guys don't care about my business. I've been a long time loyal customer but they clearly don't care. New Year's Eve they don't take any calls but don't advertise to order DAYS ahead! After an hour of trying to get through I drove there only to be told they are full of orders and I should have called 4 days ahead. Then put that on your website! But instead they take the phone off the hook. Must be nice to have so much business you don't care about keeping customers happy. Probably order $2,000 or more a year of food from these guys in a year. Someone else can have that business. Too bad, food is great. read more

Wow! Was really impressed. Food was hot, fresh and came to the table very quickly. This was a great discovery. read more

Sun Island Eatery - amazing chop suey - Chinese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

The best Chinese food I've had in this city. The salt and pepper chicken is soooo good. My partner and I eat from here too often but we can't resist. read more

Honestly the best Chinese food ever. The worst is when we decide to order Chinese and then realize it's Tuesday and they're closed. Best ginger beef, best dumplings and best service. read more

This is without a doubt my favourite Chinese place in the city. The first time I walked in to receive my pick up order (which was quick btw) I immediately felt like a regular there, the lady who runs it is so kind. The ginger beef and vegetable chow mien are second to none, they come in generous portions for the money and are extremely fresh. And somehow, the fortunes in the cookies seem better, I have no clue how they do it. I need to properly sit down in the restaurant one of these days, but with my relationship ended I don't find myself venturing south to this hidden jem as much as I'd like. Without a doubt though, this is definitely worth the 2 hour c train trip read more

Great food every time! Have tried numerous dishes: spring rolls, dumplings, ginger beef, salt and pepper squid, various noodles and rice. Most delicious. It's our go to! read more

Everytime my mother would order chinese it would be from this place because the food is consistently delicious. The time I recently ordered over the phone and felt very rushed and the person on the other line was not friendly or helpful at all. Seriously makes me reconsider calling again. read more

Sun Island Eatery - Front Enterance - Chinese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Best Chinese the south. The ginger chicken is fantastic, big chunks of chicken breast.

We dined in, amazing food. Had the dinner for 2, added black pepper chicken and wonton soup to make it for 3. We were stuffed and had leftovers. Will definitely go again. read more

We decided to try this place on account of the amazing reviews. We ordered pan fried pork dumplings, salt and pepper tofu, ginger beef, and veg fried thick noodles. I picked it up instead of having it delivered. It was ready almost exactly when they said it would be ready. They were pleasant when I ordered. I'm only a short drive from the restaurant and although food was wrapped up well, it was not hot. The dumplings tasted about the same as anywhere else, the ginger beef was dry with minimal sauce. It was lacking in flavour. The tofu was cooked differently than I have ever had. It's appearance resembled dehydrated crackers cut into triangles. Very very dry, crispy and with a nice seasoning. Not at all what I was expecting but it was different. The noodles were okay but lacking in flavour and had only a handful of assorted veg, celery, water chestnuts, carrot and mushrooms. There was no sauce that I could see. I think had there been sauce in any of the dishes they would've been better in my opinion. I prob won't order here again. read more

It's a totally Canadian style Chinese restaurant. We ordered 3 dishes, there were all salty. There weren't variety on menu. As a Chinese I was so disappointed at this Chinese restaurant is not authentic as I expected. read more

I had honey garlic ribs there's nothing but bone cartilage and dough didn't find that great no meat in Ginger beef it's like they ran out of meat or something not paying 13 bucks for that although the noodles were good and the pepper squid was good. Not paying for battered stuff tastes like crap. Just don't order dough batter deep fried crap read more

Best Chinese food hands down I've ever had. Never a bad meal here. Jenny is so kind and remembers all our names when we come in.

We picked up and they were really busy but still quite quick. Food was hot & quite tasty. I've had a hard time finding a good Chinese food place in the city but this will be my new go to. A quick 15 minute drive from Auburn Bay makes it handy. read more

My husband and I decided to try this little gem since moving to the area. We ordered take out, the dinner for two. And it was great. Their ginger beef and sweet and sour pork were crispy and so yummy! When normally at other Chinese restaurants they are always soggy. The portions were generous and the price was reasonable. We'll definitely be going back! read more

This has been the best Chinese food we have found in the SE since moving here from Vancouver. Service is friendly and quick! We recommended some friends and they also enjoyed the food here. read more

This is my favourite Chinese restaurant in town. Food is always great and the fact they don't use msg is a huge bonus for my family.

This place is on the opposite end of the city for me... but its worth it. I order food for Friday work lunches and everyone is always very impressed. Very friendly staff. Can only say good things about this place. read more

This a true family restaurant. The owners know your name. Know your kids name. Usually know your order. Huge portions and great flavour. Perfect take out chinese restaurant. read more

Very nice people with a nice small home like dinning room. Plus you get a nice amount of food for your money.

This place is awesome. The food is great, the service is quite impeccable and always courteous, and not to mention it is speedy!! Love this place, always have. Would recommend it to anyone wanting Chinese in sundance. read more

Our go-to for our Chinese craving, always fresh and tasty. Even though we've moved out of the neighbourhood, we have yet to find anything we enjoy as much, so we continue to keep coming back. We love that they use chicken breast meat in their recipes. Very nice people, and I think I says something about the business that the same waitress has been there for at least the 6 years we've lived in Calgary. read more

This is the best Chinese food in Calgary. Amazing value and great service especially Jenny. Lunch boxes are the best value in the city. Best ginger beef on the planet. read more

Hands down the best Chinese food I've ever found in the city. Friendly service and priced just right. Go check this place out!

Excellent Chinese. Probably the best Ginger Beef I've had anywhere. Dinner for one is more than enough for two! Our new go to for takeout.

Been ordering from here since it first opened. That must be about ten years ago. Never had any problems with the orders and it has been consistently delicious. I havent found a Chinese place better than here in Calgary. read more
