This is probably the best fast food chinese you can get in St. Louis. I have tried a lot of places and this place has everything I can ask for in take out. I was there one day and another customer told me they drive in all the time from the city just to get the gizzards. They told me somedays you have to come in early because they can run out. Apparently the gizzards are marinated in they own batter and special spices overnight and if they run out there not more till the next day. I know gizzards aren't for everybody, but wow these were crunchy, spicy, just awesome. If you are not as adventurous, I suggest ordering the "Bum Bum Chicken". I have never seen these anywhere else, so I am pretty sure you can only get them here. They're these sweet, and savory chicken wings, that to me are like a combination of teriyaki, soy sauce, and honey flavours. It hard to describe but they are just yummy. read more

I love this place. I have been going here for 20 years. They have the best special fried rice, crab Rangoon, and homemade sweet and sour sauce I have ever had. I avoided them for almost a year after their horrible health review (which is why they lose a star), but I couldn't resist and have started going again. The flavor of their food cannot be beat. I am not a big fan of their combo plates. For me, it is all about the special fried rice, crab Rangoon, and SS sauce. I do not eat chicken gizzards, but every time I am there, they sell a boat load of them, they must be good. read more

Honestly surprised the food was good. Chinese food outside New York's City's Chinatown is hard but they pulled it off. Wish them much success. Shye shye read more

Let's be fair and read the whole article. The owner said he was grossed out by the findings and did what he needed to do to correct the problem. When Health Department reinspected they passed. I just started going here and haven't had a bad meal yet. Yes, the article concerns me but hey, I'm alive! read more

Tip: If you get their gizzards get them with chopped onions on the top it really makes a difference.

Ugh. I feel sick. However, I'm 99% sure this had to do with how quickly I scarfed down my food and NOT the quality of the food itself. Somehow, even after the epic FAILURE I experienced at Hunan Kitchen a few days ago, I was still left craving hot braised chicken today. I did a little digging (not TOO much digging, thanks to Allan's 'North County Gets No Love' list!) and settled on Sun Restaurant. I called in my order, and I was on my way. Having no way of poring over the menu in advance, I went with the old standby -- Hot Braised Chicken. The woman on the phone asked me if I wanted the combination platter: it included the chicken, fried rice, crab rangoon, and a wonton. For the low price of $5.10 (plus tax!), I couldn't turn down this offer. I arrived and picked up my food. I examined the goods in the car. Looked decent. I tried the rice. GOOD! Tried the crab rangoon. Decent...not the best I've ever had, but edible! Finally, I took a deep breath (yes, I'm dramatic like that) and tried the hot braised chicken. It was....tasty! The sauce was tangy and had a bit of a sweetness to it. I definitely could have used more spicyness, though. I like my food SUPER spicy! The food was so good compared to Hunan Kitchen that I practically inhaled it! I guess that's why I felt a little queasy when I headed back into work. Or maybe WORK just makes me sick! (ba-ching!) Anyway, the food was good compared to Hunan Kitchen (sorry to keep shitting on that place, but it really wasn't good!), but not as tasty as other Chinese spots in St. Louis (Bo Fung, Guo Bin, etc.). This might be a regular spot during the work week for me, but I would never make a special trip out here from Shrewsbury. All in all, a pretty solid (and cheap!) spot for lunch. I'm a happy girl. read more

Don't recommend this place at all! Food is awful and customer service is terrible the workers don't know how to talk to people I felt very dissatisfied. And the cleanliness can use some work read more

Best Chinese in north county. Bumbum chicken is awesome , as is gizzards , St Paul , duck ,and special fried rice . Everything is good !!!! read more

I popped in here to pick up an order and I was IMPRESSED! Sun Restaurant offered one of the best deals I have ever had. We got a half order of veggie lo mein and a half order of veggie fried rice for only $9! What's even better is that the food lasted us for dinner, breakfast the next day, and part of lunch. They also have drive through which is not something I have seen at many restaurants. Great bargain, great food, great restaurant. read more

I went to this restaurant on 1-16-19 I ordered a half order of chicken and broccoli- she charged me $7.12. I knew this was too high because most other similar establishments charge $4.55 give or take 50 cents, I looked for verification of sales price and could not find the item on the menu or on the board. I mentioned this to the lady who appeared to be the manager. she was very rude and said she could give me my money back. I said that was fine. she gave me no cash back but allegedly showed me a void sale sheet. I contacted my bank and to this day I never got my money back--they stole my money!!! The place was dirty and they do not give back receipts to prove they report sales tax even though they charge you sales tax-and only one serve safe certificate was posted but at least four people were working with food and probably not haacp certified read more

Below average. Chicken was VERY good quality, the sauces were ok for the most part. The crab ragoon is made in house- but they left the flavour somewhere else. If they add flavour across the board it would be pretty good. read more

I love the chicken livers here so good cooked just right not too hard and sweet very tender not dry at all they Also have a wonderful jumbo shrimp fried rice read more

I'm a retired Boeing employee, for 32 years Sun Restaurant offered some of the best lunch i have eaten. But then Gizzard are to die for, St Pauls also great. For the last 3 years i make that 25 miles drive just to get them Gizzards .Thank you Sun Restaurant! read more

Sun Restaurant - Chicken fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Hazelwood, Missouri

See all

The gizzards are delicious as well as their St. Paul sandwich. I definitely recommend checking it out, you will not be disappointed!

Sun Chinese is in a sketchy part of town (border or Berkeley and Hazlewood) and from the outside appears to be just another hole in the wall. However, once you taste the food you'll quickly understand why this place usually has a line of cars wrapped around the block attempting to order at the drive thru. The fried chicken wings are my favorite, but the fried rice and General Tso are just as good. If you're in the area, its a great cheap eat! read more

Visiting family in St. Charles, they wanted me to try these chicken gizzards!! Wow, it was a 20 minute drive to get there but man oh man was it worth it!! Never heard of a Chinese Restaurant specializing in Gizzards!! Got to sit and talk with the owner wile waiting for our order...my uncle has been going there for 30 years so they are good friends! After inquiring about how he came upon serving gizzards he told me many, many years ago they cooked so many chickens, all of them coming with the bag of giblets and he thought he should put them to use instead of wasting them so he put them on the menu, his own special marinate and coating for frying. These were absolutly the best gizzards I have ever had, kinda sweet, tender and just a hint of spice. They also serve them topped with chopped onion which really made a difference. Very, Very nice. While chatting with the owner he told me they fry an average of 2,000 lbs. of gizzzards a week now, so they can no longer rely on the giblet bag they get out of the chicken! If you get chance to stop by do it, you won't regret it I promise. Also very inexpensive, try the Chicken Wings also, they do the entire wing and they are huge. Wings don't hold a candle to the gizzards though! read more

Ordered take out.... And they gave the wrong order. Realized it when I reached my destination. Ordered kung pow chicken chow mein and got fried rice with fried noodles and some weird white sauce with lettuce. read more

I have been eating here for 20 years. Delicious, well prepared and fresh 85% of the time. Reasonable prices. All restaurants may have off days. If they are off you only lost a few dollar. Love Special Fried rice, St Paul sandwich, Won Tons and of course the Gizzards! read more

Hands-down best cheaper Chinese restaurant in St Louis! I am not a fan of livers & gizzards...but they were very good! The combination fried rice was excellent with nice chunks of meat & shrimp...great ratio of rice to meat! They actually have real crab sticks here...not bits and pieces like i've had at so many others (imitation crab but good)! Will be back to try more!! They also have a drive-thru with very friendly service. You won't be disappointed! read more

This is one of the best Chinese Restaurants in the North County St.Louis Area. Ive been eating at this establishment almost all my life and have never been disappointed with the food nor service. The Special Fried Rice is my favorite!!! What makes this Chinamen so unique is the Drive-Thru. read more

We used to eat here all the time, until last year when they recieved a F on there health report (read it in the paper on the horrible stuff the county found). The quickly cleaned up and passed again, but it was too late for me and my coworkers. Will never go back. read more

This place is quick and convenient for me when it's time for lunch! They also have have a drive through window, which is uncommon for Chinese restaurants but it is very useful. Try the gizzards...add a little red pepper to them; they are the best in town. read more

I have never have a complaint about this place. The food is always hot and fresh and the employees are polite.

Fried rice and crab Rangoon are pretty good compared to the rest of the food we received. Sesame chicken taste like it came from frozen chicken and was not good. read more

I love their duck. Very flavorful. My family order's a whole duck during the holidays.

Their gizzards are the best I've had and it is worth the trip. Very clean and good service.

It pains me to say this, but I used to eat there every time I was in the area. The food is pretty good and cheap. The problem is that my brother is a police officer in the area and he responded to their alarm going off in the middle of the night. When they entered the building, he said all he could say to describe it was that the kitchen appeared to be alive there were so many bugs. He said there were chickens sitting in sinks at room temperature another were bugs everywhere. He said the kitchen was riddled with dirty dishes and that the pans were disgusting and sitting on the stove as of instead of cleaning them, they just come in and fire up the stoves and start cooking again. I have eaten there 100 times and so has my brother and it made me sick to my stomach when he told me this. The people there are so nice and knew me and my family by name. It disgusts me that they would have so little respect for their customers with such a blatant disregard for cleanliness and the health of their customers. read more

lets face it, when it comes to chinese food, who knows how many health violations it has broken, REGARDLESS of its location or who knew so and so. the same health violations are bring broken at ur local mddonalds, u just dont see it bc there are uniforms and attracting colors. anywho the crab rangoon here is awesome. got a little chive thing going. the lo mein is delicious! and the veggies are super fresh, can totally tell. eggrolls are really good. and their rice is pretty tasty. its just one of those things u grin and bear...but dont be fooled and think there is any such thing as a clean rice spot read more

I have lunch at Sun Chinese every week. Egg Foo Young is "the bomb." Everything I've had there is excellent. Best deal in St. Louis.

I love Sun. The duck is amazing, fried rice is awsome, egg foo young is one of my favorites. The chicken sandwich and french fries are super good. That's right..a chinese restaurant that serves french fries. I get extra seasoning on them. Its like a salty sweet blend that they dust on the fries, very good. They are always very friendly! Oh, and the gizzards are to die for. I know people that travel great lengths just for the gizzards. read more
