So when I first walked in, of course there wasn't a waitstaff. This place is the type where you sit where you want to and order on the tablet. It's a self serving place. They share parking with other businesses. But I'm sure there's plenty of parking spaces available. The place is cute and there are plenty of tables to sit at. They have a pretty good bit of items on their menu. The price is pretty comparable. The food is good. Nothing else I can say about it. Would come here again. I also got the chicken feet and it was delicious as well.

If you're looking for dim sum, this might be your place. It's not exactly cheap, but this isn't the Chinese takeout in a strip mall. The steamed dumplings are great (and I wish I could figure out how to get more of the dipping sauce onto them, as thin as it is) and the bao are almost creamy with how soft they are. Service-wise, it's a bit odd ordering off of a screen at the front and then having your food brought out to your table, but it's real quick. Apparently something about it works well. The restaurant itself is essentially a cafe - high windows letting in plenty of light and tall ceilings and paintings to make an otherwise cramped space seem larger than it is. Overall, definitely a good place to either get a single meal or share some dishes among a few.

If we have a Sun's Kitchen near where we live, it would probably be an almost weekly routine for me to visit it. Sun's Kitchen has a wide variety of Chinese cuisines (not a large menu, just different types of Chinese food). There are Taiwanese, Cantonese/dim sum, Sichuan, Northern, etc... from what I can tell.During our short visit, we went there twice because I wanted to try different types of dishes. The honest truth is, nothing wow'd me in flavor, but I would be ecstatic if I have this type of food near me.We tried braised beef noodle soup (pretty darn good flavor), ma-la dried peppers chicken (pretty good, ask for extra spicy), ma-la Xiao Long bao or dumplings (I forgot, it was alight), egg tarts (good), sai do si (yum), lamb skewers (good), ma-la shredded tofu (I'd come back for this again and again), you tiao (a'ight), soy milk (decent), egg tarts (pretty good), special crepe with egg and you tiao (flavor is there, but texture is off), and mango lemon Jasmin tea (yum).I also love the efficiency of this restaurant. Walk in, order at kiosk (or via you phone), take a #, get your utensils, and wait for the food to arrive. Not a lot of space for dine in, but it's also not really a hang out type joint so I imagine the tables turn fairly quickly. So there are still many dishes I'd have loved to try, but we were only there for so long. Until next time.

Went here on a Saturday night, the parking lot for this center was packed and hard to find parking, I think it is because of the sport bar on top of the restaurant. The decor for this place is pretty and felt clean. It is simple and felt great. The concept is simple grab a table and order your food on your phone and they will bring you the food. Although ordering your food on the phone seems not much interaction with the staff, but I felt the staff cares and bring out the food quickly. The food was brought out in more to go style and able to throw away plates. The food tasted great. I ordered the beef noodle soup, I think this is one of the best beef noodle soup in Charlotte. All the other food tasted great. The price is a little high, but I will come back for the beef noodle soup.

I've been eager to try this place after seeing constant advertisements come across my Instagram. So today I decided to take my mom to lunch for some dim sum. The place is small and narrow. Decor was light but beautiful. Sun's Kitchen is an informal dining experience, you order at a kiosk or with a QR code at the table, then the food is brought out to you by a server. I believe all their food is served on to-go/disposable dining ware. Convenient for leftovers and clean up.Dim sum obviously isn't like your traditional dim sum, where carts of food are pushed around; everything they offer is on the kiosk menu. Sadly, their dim sum menu is limited. The offered several types ofBao buns, chicken feet, sui mai, spare ribs, egg tart (which I didn't see on the menu when ordering), shrimp dumplings, wonton soup and a few other unfamiliar items. Outside the dim sum menu, they have dumplings/gyoza (which is what most of the ads I've seen center around), noodles, rice bowls, street foods like skewers and veggie side dishes etc. Order: sui mai, shrimp dumpling, youtiao soup, squid skewer, and soy milk. Sui mai and shrimp dumpling didn't disappoint. Flavor was good. The soup was a little too salty and we should have asked for the youtiao on the side because it became soggy fast. Youtiao is similar to croutons but lighter in texture. And lastly the squid, it was coated with some spice rub, skewered and grilled. The portion size was generous but the flavor was not it. I couldn't make out what the spices were but they did not have a good flavor. The squid would have been better plain. Overall a decent experience. I probably won't return for dim sum but their other menu items look worth a try.

First of all the parking is plentiful! The restaurant is modern and gorgeous inside. When you walk in you place your order at one of the kiosks. Ordering is simple and easy. Don't forget to grab your table number stand. Food came out quick and was delivered with a friendly smile. There is a station stocked with all the necessities- utensils, to go boxes and bags. I ordered the watermelon beverage, which was fresh and refreshing, the bbq bao buns, which were decent, not great, and the ja jang noodles, which were flavorful, but I don't think I would order again. My friend and I went during mid-autumn festival and each patron had the option to get a complimentary slice of moon cake, which I thought was a nice touch!I can't want to go back and try their dumplings and Dan Dan noodles! Overall, I enjoyed the food and experience and am looking forward to my next visit!

Charlotte needs more dumpling places. And Sun's Kitchen is here to help. Plus they have dim sum. DIM SUM. Know how hard it is to find Dim Sum in Charlotte?!? I had to try this place out. I needed to do takeout this first go, and let me commend Sun's Kitchen for the absolute best online ordering experience. They have excellent photos and full descriptions of every dish. I picked up my order, though the place was spotless and inviting (as were the staff), and went home with my goodies. I want to try EVERYTHING but convinced myself to be conservative and chose the Ma La dumplings and the Xiao Long Bao. The bao were so so so so good, as was the scallion garlic sauce I chose for it. I am absolutely ordering those again. The Ma La dumplings - one of my favorite Asian dishes - were, first of all, no joke spicy. Not ghost pepper spicy but they have a good kick. I did not, however, like them as much as I had expected; some slightly bitter flavor, likely in the sauce, turned me off of them and I left half uneaten. If you knew me with dumplings you'd realize something was amiss because I didn't finish off the dish the next day. That's how unpleasant I found the sauce. And that's why I'm giving it four stars instead of five. I'll try more soon and may update the rating accordingly. Next time, though, I need noodles!

Sun's Kitchen offers delicious noodles, dumplings, and more. I shared the dumpling flight with friends, which was very good (especially with the soy vinegar) even if the dumpling wrapper was a bit thick. The Xiao long bao was probably my favorite item. As an avid lover of spicy food, I ordered the spicy braised beef noodles, and it was WAY too hot for me. Although it was my own mistake, they were very accommodating and gave me the non-spicy broth and an empty bowl to replace it. It was incredibly kind, and the soup was delicious.It's definitely a casual spot with not a whole lot of tables, and it does seem a bit more formatted for carry out (like all the food being served in disposable/to-go containers). Regardless, Sun's is super tasty and 110% worth a try.

Food was great! You order either at a kiosk or at your table. Seating is slim, so it can be tricky if you get there at a busy time. Parking is quite tough. They do have a lot attached, but it is shared with other businesses. No one out of my group of 4 could find a spot and we all got there at different times - someone even ended up parking across the street due to this. The food was great and tasted amazing! The Dan Dan noodles (ma-la) were so flavorful! Dumplings were good as well! The decor and vibes inside is very calming and relaxing. Overall we would go back!
