Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Don't let the exterior fool you, this restaurant is packing serious Chinese deliciousness!! I was searching for someone who could prepare my favorite dish, Shrimp in Lobster Sauce, after our local restaurant closed down. For years, I had no success, that is until I was introduced to Sun China. I always call ahead and place my order, and it's always ready in the time promised. When I get home, I usually lick the plate clean before finally accepting that it's all gone :) Give this place a try! You'll love it!

The next stop on my search for Metro Detroit's Best General Tso's landed me a recommendation for Sun China. From the outside it's not much to look at and the inside isn't much of an improvement except for the bulletproof window carousel which is a conversation starter for first timers such as myself. Joe V. and I walked in and grabbed a booth and our server was right on queue. She took both our orders for their General Toa's (they don't call it Tso's here) and asked for it as spicy hot as they could make it, with wonton soup. The soup was a quick arrival with its broth that was a deeper stock color than the norm and the flavor was right up there. The wonton itself was a little tough but it had a meaty filling in it. Overall I liked it and I finished the bowl! They also brought out those ridiculously addictive fried egg rolI snacker things that are like crack to add to the soup...that's always an added touch and appreciated at that. I had ordered white rice with my lunch combo but she brought me fried which was very good in my opinion (later and kindly apologetic she brought me a separate bowl of white rice on the side). The egg roll was filled with sprouts which I'm not a fan of....cabbage egg rolls are always the more premium of the two in my opinion so I didn't finish it, but the hot mustard they brought to the table was a nice addition since it wasn't in those packets, and it was chilled from fridging. The Tao's was so-so for the sweeter variety. Oddly, there was no broccoli served alongside it per usual. The chicken was good quality white meat and it was deep fried crispy with a fairly thick bread on it. The sauce was really sweet and despite asking for it to be super spicy we didn't get a hint of heat at all. Sadly the Tso's was a bust here, for me anyway...sorry Maureen but I gave it a shot. However portions are large, prices are cheap and the service was top notch, they have that covered in spades...the fruit flies hovering threw off lunch a little but overall it was OK enough.

Don't let the exterior fool you. It looks a bit run down, even closed for business. I'm not even sure they have a lot of dine in business. We always get carry out and every time we go, the parking lot is packed w/ customers picking up their orders. The General Tao's Chicken is our all-time favorite. I wish I had a bigger stomach so that I could eat more. There is so much food, we only order one dinner and we get 4 meals out of it very easily. The egg rolls and fried rice are also very good. The only downside is that the parking lot is very small and narrow, making it difficult to maneuver when there are several cars.

I have to admit I was very skeptical of this place at first, I passed it for years thinking it was just a hole in the wall the Chinese joint. BOY WAS I AM WRONG! My brother-in-law introduced me to this place and ever since I've been hooked. I was surprised to know that his favorite Chinese food joint was only a mile away from my house. Now again the place is not that nice looking on the outside and the inside still resembles a hole in the wall joint but the food was phenomenal. when I eat at restaurants particularly those that specialize in a type of food I have to try the basics before branching off into anything else on the menu. And to me the basics were met and above expectation. The shrimp egg foo young fresh not greasy the gravy was thick and not too thick and the Shrimp fried rice was delicious and don't get me started on the deliciousness of the sweet-and-sour chicken... phenomenal The restaurant was surprisingly packed when I went inside the phone line was busy when I wanted to call and make an order so I would recommend you probably go in and order first. I like to say as for me this place was great for you in might not be but it's been a long time since I had a really good Chinese restaurant to call my own. this one has that taken the cake! Or shall I say fortune cookie! LOL

I have been a customer of Sun China for a 16 years. The staff is abrupt, However the food is excellent. This is Americanized Chinese Food at its finest.. I usually have the General Tao Chicken when I eat there. But the Shrimp egg foo young is awesome as well. If you are look for a BETTER place to dine verse a mini mall Monstrosity... Try them..... I must warn you they are not the friendliest.... But they are good....

We usually get take out at work on Fridays, and when we do Chinese it's usually Sun China. It's pretty good for take out Chinese - I wouldn't travel for it - but when in the neighborhood it's the best of the rest. Their shrimp fried rice is a standout. The shrimp aren't the small microscopic specimens that most take out places try to pass off as shrimp, but good sized little critters indeed! The sweet and sour chicken is very good - much better than the pork. Sesame Chicken is good and the beef Lo Mein is as well. I got that today and it was loaded with veggies as well as beef. The portions are fairly big too so either prepare to eat a bunch or to have left overs.

Hands down, the best Americanized Chinese food I've ever had. I absolutely love the crab rangoons, chicken wings, and the general taos chicken. Practically grew up eating these.
(5)Tamara Y.
I can't speak regarding anything but the eggrolls, which were awesome. Further investigation is certainly required!

We will avoid this place in the future. The hot and sour soup and the portion sizes were the only good things about our meals. We ordered carry out. The almond chicken had not even a hint of almonds, and the breading was raw and falling off. The soup crackers, egg rolls and the spring rolls were dripping grease. The szechuan chicken was lackluster at best. The sweet and sour chicken was passable, but had no vegetables in it. Hell, even one of our fortune cookies was without a fortune!

Before I begin my review, let it be known that I have an appreciation for cheap [quality], hole-in-the-wall Chinese food. I did not have unrealistic expectations that this would be authentic, or gourmet fare. With that said, Sun China has the worst takeout I have ever had the displeasure of tasting. The fried rice is soaked in stale soy sauce and lacks any vegetables that 'fried rice' traditionally has. The General Tsos sauce did not have flavor, or spice - it was a sugary glue that covered soggy breaded chicken with dry meat. We ordered pork egg rolls and received egg rolls filled with bean sprouts. The filling reeked of the same stale soy sauce they use on the rice. We ordered Crab Macao, and we received cold Crab Rangoon instead. The shrimp toast was filled with real shrimp, but the toast was covered in soggy panko and tasted strange. Everything we ordered was disgusting and looked/tasted like it was old food that did not sell earlier that day. On top of the bad food, the woman at the counter had an attitude problem and acted like we were begging for food when we asked for extra hot sauce packets. Sun China is overpriced, bland and/or nasty tasting Chinese food that no person should check out. You shouldn't even look at the sign as you drive by, as that is still giving them more attention than they deserve. Gordon Ramsay would vomit at his table and then scream expletives. Yes, it's that bad. Thank you Sun China for a dinner I will not soon forget... I mean that in every bad way possible!

I wasn't a huge fan. I am very particular about hot and sour soup, and theirs wasn't even close to up to standard. The crab macao was cold and didn't taste like it was made fresh at all. The kung pao chicken was okay. They do have huge portions though, so you do get some bang for your buck there.

This place is the best for sesame chicken always consistent .best service only thing is they have a few tables sometimes you have to wait to be seated
(5)Joe V.
I echo most of Joe B.'s sentiments. The service was great. The waitress was very friendly and prompt. The portions were large and the prices cheap. Asking for as spicy as you can make it and having it come out completely sweet with absolutely no spice at all was a huge disappointment. The General's Chicken actual chicken was overly breaded. Super sweet...and very similar to sweet and sour chicken with just a different (but equally sweet) sauce. The fried rice was average. The wanton soup was average. Only two wontons in the bowl though. Very little meat in the wanton and pretty much all dough. I don't know if they have hot and sour soup or not, but it didn't appear on the lunch menu. The egg roll has sprouts in it (not my favorite) and spring rolls are not an option. There were fruit flies hovering. The bulletproof glass is a little unsettling, but understandable. I really wanted to like this place. I swear. I just didn't. And Telegraph and 6 Mile is a bit far for me to go snag Chinese food that doesn't suit my tastes. Won't be back.

No matter where I move too or live within the metro Detroit area I will always only come to this location for Chinese food! The best hands down & trust I've had my fair share! The outside isn't in the best shape but the food is great!

Hmmm. I knew there was some reason that I thought I had a past falling out with this place. I love that they have combinations. You don't really find combos outside of "the hood." A foo young and sesame chicken combo would be a perfect combo idea. But being cheap I ordered the foo young with the garlic ribs on top and some wonton soup. Still paid close to $15. Foo young was good. Shrimp fried rice was good (extra cost). I absolutely love their egg rolls (bean sprouts). The ribs weren't as good. Most pieces were tough and the ribs just weren't very flavorful. But, I felt so abused this time around. I asked for ginger in my soup. The lady said "No, can't do that". What's so hard about slicing a piece of ginger or sprinkling some ground ginger in the soup? Next, I asked for an extra plum sauce because I like it on my rice. The lady said "You pay 50 cents for large one. No small one." I thought for a second and just decided to leave ($15 bill- besides if you dine in you can drink the stuff at no extra charge). In addition to feeling punished for deciding to stop into this place, the real nasty part was the roach crawling on the wall in the cashier area behind the bullet proof plastiglass. I watched it crawl behind the red Chinese decor thing hanging on the wall where he just stayed until I left. I told another customer that there was a roach on the wall hiding behind the red Chinese decor thing and she looked and said "eeeewwww". We both stayed for our carryouts. It wasn't until I got home that I thought, "Why didn't I just get a refund and leave when I had the chance?" I really want to say I would never go back, but I love the egg rolls and that sweet plum sauce. Unless there's a roach inside the egg roll the hot grease should kill any germs or bacteria. Right? I know that's gross.

I always like trying new restaurants, but this place was not to my taste at all. I got the Szechuan Beef, one of my favorite dishes. The sauce was barely spicy and tasted like American brown gravy. Vegetables were overcooked. Beef was bland. Chicken fried rice was mediocre. Lunch came with an egg roll which was put inside the box and was therefore soggy. Definitely won't be going back with so many other good Chinese restaurants in the area.

There is nothing like greasy Chinese food to fulfill your appetite! While there are many Chinese restaurants around Detroit, I usually drive out the way to get Sweet & Sour Chicken and Won Ton soup from Sun China. It is just something about their food that makes me happy, especially after a long night of throwing back drinks. This is not necessarily your "sit down" dining experience, so I usually take my food to go. The prices are roughly $8 for a meal, although the lunch menu is usually cheaper.
