This food is totally different from what's on the menu…… I'm totally shocked!

Glad to see their star rating has gone up - have never had bad food here. Chili wontons and mapo tofu are 10/10 (only place in town where I've been able to get actual authentic mapo tofu with szechuan peppercorn).

I ordered orange chicken and grilled squid. The amount of food was large for the price and I was very satisfied. The only regret is that I didn't expect the grilled squid to be a squid skewer. It didn't matter because I like Chinese spices, but if I had known it was a skewer, I would have ordered lamb skewers.

Uncle Sun has great garlic with eggplant. They'll make your entrees spicy if you want. The portions are large, so you can be frugal with the leftovers. Anytime I've eaten in the restraunt the service has been great. Thanks for being great Uncle Sun :)

Me and my boyfriend frequent Uncle Sun. He is from China and I am White, we both love it here. They have some amazing traditional dishes and some comfort american chinese dishes. If you like spicy soup get number 200. Please tip, the waiters and waitresses are all so kind and hardworking. If you don't like something, try something else, they have like 400 dishes on their menu.

When i arrived at the restaurant, I noticed the worker placing plates/bowls on a table ignoring i even enter the establishment. A few minutes after she finished setting up the table she asked me what I would like to order, I told her I would need to look at the menu a little longer since it was my first time eating there she says okay. Not even 5 minutes later a dasher comes in for an order and she tells him it not ready 5 min. Goes into the kitchen and does whatever she did. While shes in the kitchen 3 customers come in one carrying a 6 pack of beer and opens one. They all sit down at the table she placed the plates/bowls at, she then comes out of the kitchen not with any doordash orders. She has food in her hands and places it on the table where the 3 customers are sitting. I think they are family because no establishment will allow you to bring alcohol into their place because they usually sell it themselves. And she talked to them like she knew them. After that she walked into the kitchen and grab doordash orders complete ignoring me when I wanted to order. I placed my order, I got the sweet and sour chicken with white rice. I honestly don't recommend the sweet and sour chicken. It mostly fried batter around a small piece of chicken. The rice was okay. Honestly I would rather go to a store and get a frozen entrée of sweet and sour chicken over ordering from here again. I think they should retrain their employees on how to be professional and not allow outside food or drink into their place of business and make sure they are attending to their customers before their family. Especially if someone already pays for their order.

Customer service could improve, asked for simple condiments and was told they did not have any, lady seemed upset when I went to pick up my order.

This place stays open really late so it was convenient. The food was good, the pad thai was a little different than what I'm used to but it was still okay. My husband loved his broccoli dish. Very young man, more than likely the son if the owner is taking orders and running the front end while dad is in the kitchen. Nice kid but definitely still learning the business aspect, give him Grace he means well!

Found this metal thingy in my beef lo mein. Almost chocked. Beef is also super chewy
I ordered delivery through Chomp. Singapore noodles with tofu, steamed sweet bean bun, and mango mousse cake. Large portions of noodles and had more heat than other Singapore noodles I had recently. Buns were perfect, I saved one and had it for breakfast with tea. The cake is light and fluffy and has a delicate flavor.
