Chef Sun's Noodle and Dumpling Plano — Restaurant in Plano

If you walk into an Asian restaurant and your about the only Anglo person there and the rest of the crowd is Asian, your in the right place! And when the specials are only written in Chinese, you've hit pay dirt people, unless you want to read them. (lucky for me my nephew knows Chinese, so I texted him a picture of the specials to find out what they were!) Sorry, I won't give out his number, he's 12.

This place is awesome!!!! The food is really delicious. And yes, I know a little something about Asian food as I have lived in both Japan and Taiwan for 4 years each growing up. So yes, it is authentic. The first time we went (lucky for us we live about 1/2 mile away), we had the fried dumplings and then we each got a dish. Way too much food. I got a beef noodle dish, Biangbiang Beef Noodles. The noodles are so delicious. They are freshly hand made and cooked to perfection. My husband got something, it was good too. He didn't share, so that's why I can't remember.

Pro tip; the wide noodle come with a pair of scissors to cut them. I didn't remember this from when I lived in Taiwan, but I was younger then too. Most likely my mom cut them.

The second time we went, we brought family! That was the best we've dined there. Mostly because we could order a ton of food and try several things. We ordered to start the beef burrito, steamed dumpling, pan fried beef pies and crab rangoon. Then we ordered more dishes. We had the Bao buns, crispy green beans, the Kongpao Chicken, again everything was delicious. And it was such a blast to try all those dishes in one night. My little sister who lives in Phoenix AZ was with us that night. And now every time she comes to visit we go there to eat. She tells me its a requirement.

Tonight we ordered Mongolian Beef (Hubby) and I had the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. Both were again delicious. The soup was really flavorful. The thin noodles were a perfect compliment to the spicy broth, beef chunks and baby bok choy. And I had wanted to try a thin noodle dish this time. The beef is like roast beef chunks in your soup. Again, full of flavor and they give you a lot of beef. I couldn't eat all of the meat and left about 1/3 of the broth it was really filling. I'm pretty sure I left 0 noodles. I do have to say that the Mongolian beef was my favorite tonight. He let me have a bite.

We've eaten at this place about 5-6 times. (mostly because my husband says no to once a week) Every time it is clean, and delicious. The staff are really nice and helpful. They will explain to you what the specials are, if your nephew is asleep/unavailable. = (

I think if you are looking for authentic Chinese food, this place is definitely one you should try. And take a group so you can order tons of things and try lots of dishes. You have a great view of the staff preparing the food. They have great tables for large groups here! It's not fancy, it's great delicious food. Go...

After Steam Dumpling (originally at this location) closed at the beginning of the year and the signage for Chef Sun's went up about a month ago, I was very much looking forward to stopping by and trying out the new restaurant, especially when I saw some of the same items on the menu + a much larger entree section. I'm happy to say that Chef Sun's will definitely be added onto our regular rotation of Chinese spots to dine at in the future :)

I came with my husband and a group of 4 other adults and 2 kids last Friday around 5PM for dinner. My husband and I were seated in the center of the restaurant and the servers were all super attentive while we were waiting for our friends to arrive, bringing by menus and waters. Once the kids got there they also gave us styrofoam water cups and plastic trays for the kids to use as well as a highchair for one of them. They also stopped by all throughout our meal to refill waters and make sure we had everything we needed.

We ordered a bunch of stuff family style to share. My favorites of the night were the dumplings (pork soup, panfried pork & cabbage, steamed sanxian), the biang biang noodles, and the green beans, but honestly everything we had ranged from solid to excellent. All kitchen dishes come with unlimited white rice which paired very well with the green beans and the eggplant with garlic sauce. The pork soup dumplings were super flavorful and very soupy whilst still having a thin skin; probably the best version we've had in the area. The beef pan fried pie was fine - I usually prefer mine with more soup/looser filling and these were pretty dry, but the skin was well-done and the flavor was good. I asked for the beef roll without cilantro and it came out with a bit of cilantro still inside it, but it wasn't so much that I couldn't just pick it out of the piece I got. Still very good at this new place. And the biang biang noodles! A really excellent chew and a nice kick to the sauce. My husband pointed out that Chef Sun's version is a little soupier and a little tangier but honestly I enjoyed it just as much.

The old Steam Dumpling was probably my FIL's favorite Chinese place in the area; having now tried Chef Sun's, I'm very confident that he'll enjoy this place as well. Can't wait to come back and try more of the items on their...

Excellent food/establishment could be cleaner

Don't think I've had a dish that we didn't like. We usually order through DD but we happen to be close by and hungry. Our favorites are soup dumplings, pan fried beef pies, crab puffs, egg rolls, dan dan noodles and chili beef which is what we ordered when we dined in. The only difference is that the dan dan noodles didn't quite come with enough sauce and toppings like we usually do when we order from DD. Everything was great, including the service.

The only disappointment is that the establishment isn't as clean as I would expect for it being newish, it reopened late last year after Steam Dumpling shut its doors only after a year. The menus are sticky, the seating had crumbs, the cushions were very dingy, and the bathrooms were not clean. The women's bathroom lock was broken. My husband said there wasn't any soap or towels in the men's, and it too was not clean. I hope they're able to address this because their food is too damn good to see yet another great...
