We ordered takeout for a large meeting and everyone was impressed with the quality and taste of the food. We ordered the meal for 8 and the meal for 4 as there were 14 people. We had more than enough food with a great variety. The Cantonese chow mein was amazing! Everything was fresh and hot and ready on time. The young man offered to help me carry the order to the car. When I mentioned I was walking back to the hotel, he insisted he would walk with me to help! He went above and beyond. I highly recommend Sun Kwong!

Have only had a combo plate and the ginger beef. The combo plate (chicken balls and fried rice) was about average but good. The ginger beef was very good. The prices and portions were reasonable.

I started going to this restaurant a few years ago because I work nearby and have been going weekly ever since. The owners are two of the nicest people I have ever met and really make you feel like family. The food is reasonably priced and I've never once had a bad meal. The chop suey combo is my favourite!

When I came here they had just opened so it was empty but by the time it was twelve 30 there was no one so I was wierded out l. When we orders the waitress was super kind and sweet. After ordering my group and I got our food quick except for a couple dishes. But once we got them I was underwhelmed as I was expecting home cooked. A lot of the food tasted microwaved or was extremely chewy, however I enjoyed the wonton soup. When I grabbed my silverware I found sauce on my knife and there was splatters on my plate. The atmosphere is very awkward and it is and older building with some holes in walls and cracks with water damage ( no leaks tho) when I went to the bathroom it was dirty and very crowded. Overall this place would be great for takeout but dining in was not the best.

Ordered 3 dishes off Emperors menu last night and it was delicious!! Good sized portions, awesome flavours, friendly staff and didn't have to wait hours for it to be ready. Best taste and service! Will be back soon.

Fresh and fast, generous portions! Cantonese noodles, yum! Wonton soup, eggrolls, yum yum!! And husband is really fussy with chicken balls (chicken to dough ratio), he says they're big & meaty so 2 thumbs up from him as well! THREE YEARS LATER - still yum!

We had visited this place a few years ago, while travelling through town, and the food was good. While staying in sault st Marie, we made a point to eat there today. Big mistake! The restaurant is quite large, and when we visited, supper time, it was empty. The decor is old, shabby, and dated- it was dark, and smelled of stale of cigarette smoke, dust and sadness. There was no delicious smell of food cooking. We began by ordering tea, which was served in big mugs with advertising on them - the kind you get free as a promotion. Bad start ... My meal was a disappointment. We started with egg rolls. The inside was basically raw bean sprouts and little else. Seemed to take forever to chew. The chicken balls were rubbery (almost like they were re-heated in a microwave?) Almost impossible to cut with a knife. I was not able to eat the doughy outsides. My 'fried rice' was basically white rice with soya sauce, and one pea. I had 2 deep fried shrimps, no lemon, but at least they were edible. The biggest disappointment was the chop suey!! Basically raw bean sprouts, with a few slivers of onion. No taste. No sauce. No veggies or meat. I ordered a side of chow mein noodles, hoping they would help. But instead of the fried crunchy noodles, I was given a small paper container with stale pretzle-like stick things - yuk. I mentioned my concerns to our server, and she apologized profusely and took the cost of the dried noodles off my bill. .50 cents. I spoke to her again about my inedible meal, and she apologized again, and reluctantly agreed to take 10% off. My meal. She returned with a new bill - minus $1.40. I won't return and will not recommend this place to anyone.

As a road trip restaurant, I just want to say that it was very disappointing to me. We ordered the fried beef and rice noodles which tasted very salty, the noodles were stiff and stuck together and most of the food was wasted.

Not a serious business - should be closed! The girl that takes orders is incompetent. Placed an order because Hong Kong was done taking orders with the expectation of a wait, for delivery and 3.5 hours later I called when the food didn t show up, at almost 9 pm and she lied in front of her managers saying I never ordered it and that she can t call a long distance number and that I was supposed to call her back again after ten minutes. Total fabrication! Deceptive little girl. Where is it normal for someone to place an order then call again to order a second time! Manager didn t take ownership of the problem either and gave the phone to the girl who took the order, who then proceeded to lie repeatedly in front of her manager. Really despicable. Totally made up to save her own skin. Instead of apologizing, told me whatever then hung up the phone. The little girl should be fired! Avoid this place, they re trash! And to the owners: what are you doing with your lives? Take charge of your business now and fire her! She caused too much stress and lies and she ll do it again. You don t argue with a customer ever and you don t accuse a customer of lying! Read the reviews of other customers and alarmed to read about all the food quality problems. Sad to have such a place still operating.

Yesterday, while in Sault Ste Marie Ontario, we decided to try something a little different. We decided on eating Chinese food and tried this jem of a downtown restaurant! The food is the BEST and our waitress was very cheerful and provided great customer service! If youre tired of poor quality food or bad service, give this Queen Street restaurant a try. You wont be sorry you did!

Shame we couldnt dine in, but of course Covid. Passing through on our way back home to Winnipeg, read the reviews and heard from locals on how good it was and now we totally agree. Both had S /S chicken balls with fried rice and an egg roll, all of it very tasty and good.

December 23, 2021

Taste is just so so. Maybe good enough for the owner.

December 23, 2021

They packed my food into a box, great idea except for the large amount of sauce that came from who knows where, thats messed up the back seat of my car. This will be our last time eating at this place unless they finally return our repeated calls and make it better.

We ordered take out only due to Covid so no comment on the place, only food. We cant find any other Chinese restaurant in Sault so we had no other choice and it seemed popular with locals as we saw some locals there as well. However food was not great. Hot and sour soup was a big disappointment. I also ordered sweet and sour shrimp and honestly the soup tasted the same like the sweet and sour sauce. The sweet and sour sauce comes out in pink, no kidding, like the bubble gum pink, which makes me feel uneasy due to the overuse of food coloring. The shrimp came with a huge chunk of batter, the battered shrimp was as big as my wrist and the actual shrimp was as small as my pinky, at least it was crispy. Food didnt taste fresh either, it tasted like microwave food. Some good points are big portion, food was hot and the takeaway packaging was decent. All in all, if you crave for Chinese and cant find any other place, go for it like we did, but dont get your hopes up too high.
