“ Staff was more than friendly, food was notably delicious, place was clean and pretty. Not much else to say; a great place! ”
“ I had a great time visiting this restaurant. The staff is very friendly. The bathroom is very clean. The interior is well designed. ”
“ Their pan fried noodles are the best! There's just enough toppings and gravy to give you a nice savory bite with all the crispy noodles. Practically all the noodles stay crunchy. This is the first restaurant I've experienced who can manage to avoid the soggy noodle thing. From all the photos posted, it looks like I'm going to need to try their scrambled eggs dishes as well. ”
“ Came here at 10am on my lunch break right when they opened, very spacious inside with plenty of tables and seating. Was greeted and seated and then I placed my order of Hainanese chicken w/ noodle soup. My order came out in 3-4 minutes which is fast considering that they just opened, it came with a generous bowl of rice noodles with a heap of green onions topped with fried onions and a plate of Hananese whole chicken leg that had a sauce soy sugar and ginger from what I can tell as a dip. The noodles were fresh and the chicken was very tender, for $16 the portion very filling and the food was good quality. Also the staff was very friendly and always had a smile. ”
“ Food - ordered bun bo hue - portions are huge! lots of meat, noodles were chewy and overall flavor was good. I was afraid it'd be too spicy, so they made it mild and it was yummy! also ordered thai ice tea. if you're a fan of creamy thai tea, you will love it. my friend wish there was more tea taste, but i loved the creaminess 100% recommend thai tea Service - seated as soon as we walked in. Ordered and food came pretty quickly. I wanna say less than 10 mins. My friend's bun bo hue actually had a piece of hair in it, so we told them and they gladly and quickly cooked a new one for her. Ambiance - pretty laid back. Not the comfiest chairs but lots of seating and overall nice place to grab an afternoon lunch or dinner. ”
“ Great food and great service. They have a wide variety of noodles you can choose for your dishes. While I was eating someone came in to buy jars of their satay sauce. One of the staff told me it's really popular and I should try some that's available at the table. It was good but a little too spicy for me. The pho ga was very flavorful. And a generous portion for the price. I was very full when I was done. Thai iced tea was also delicious. ”
“ I love this place, and have been coming to San Sun since their prior location on Stockton. The satay chow fun is my go-to dish, either with beef or chicken. The noodles come out piping hot and with plenty of wok hei (delicious char), and there's a comforting blanket of sauce and chinese broccoli. As a Viet-Chinese place, the noodle soups are also solid. There's one dish I've never seen elsewhere, and it's multiple types of noodles combined in one, and served with a prawn cracker. Lots of seating, and the wait staff is speedy. ”
