General Taos chicken was good and I would consider it above average. Mongolian beef was good, not above average. Egg roll was so so. Service was super slow. Beef fried rice was above average.

My family has been a loyal customer of Red Sun for years. By far their food is superior and delicious like no other restaurants, my family is glad to know that is open for business. Our favorites have been sweet and sour chicken, and Kung Pao Beef extra spicy and extra beef. Simply delicious!

The food is so salty even eating with rice. Too much sauce . Pork is terrible. I couldn't take a second bite. It's not worth the money. I have tried so many Chinese restaurants this is the worst. I threw everything away. Go to Chopsticks nearby it's way better.

This place is HORRIBLE! Not just the food, even the service. They forgot one of our items and when we called to let them know they INSISTED that it was in the bag. It was not. They finally said they would make it and we could pick it up. A few minutes later someone called back, once again, INSISTING that the item was in the bag. How insulting to insinuate that your customer is lying. Instead of picking up the missing item, we asked for a refund. Apparently they don’t offer refunds for anything and all sales are final. That alone should tell you something. Now the food - the food is AWFUL. We got eggrolls and crab rangoons… terrible. All of our entrees were gross too. Most of us ended up not eating what we ordered and it went in the garbage. We typically order from Chopstix (which is always spectacular) down the road but they were closed. NEVER AGAIN. If you want Chinese go to Chopstix.

Long wait time. Rude lady at counter. Called to order one time, she picked up the phone and put it on the counter. Waited 5 minutes for her to answer before giving up. Prices are insane now as well. Google should have at least two dollar symbols for this restaurant. Food the majority of time will not be fresh. A lack of decent chinese food places is the only reason this place still exists.

We went there a couple years ago and the food was terrible. Gave him another shot and the food was pretty good. The problem we had was they messed up my order and gave a large fried rice instead of a beef egg foo young… When I called to let them know about the mistake because I didn’t want to turn around and drive they never answered their phone so that was pretty disappointing

Rude lady at the counter won't even knowledge how long you have been waiting. Ordered food an hour ahead and still had to wait 20 mins. Only to see the food was sitting done for 15 mins then bagged

I was skeptical to order from here, based on reading all of the poor reviews. Our food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the pork egg rolls, beef teriyaki sticks, chicken egg fu young, and chicken with cashews. The pork egg roll took me back to my childhood, when I had Chinese food with my grandparents in Chicago. The secret is the peanut butter-and they are so good! Our food was fresh and hot and we had plenty of left overs!

I live nearby and really want a decent Chinese takeout place in the neighborhood, but, this isn’t it. Ordered House Chow Fun and Pot Stickers. The Pot Stickers were very doughy, not delicate, reminiscent of frozen and re cooked, but large enough to be a meal in themselves. The Chow Fun was a mish mash of mushy beef, chicken and shrimp that had no texture or distinct flavor of any of the ingredients. Very, very disappointing. Maybe other choices are better prepared, maybe not.
