text: I think I would have to agree with Kristin and Sunny and say that this place gets a lot more credit that it might otherwise deserve because it is a nonchain nonfast food Chinese place in South Phoenix I admire the owners for taking a risk and opening this place in this particular area and for bringing some ethnic food to the masses nnThat being said the food is not spectacular The first time my husband and I went there it was at dinnertime and we thought the food was decent The Crispy Honey Chicken was a bit too sweet and not as crispy as one would hope but the Mongolian Beef was tender and pretty flavorful We also had the Crab Puffs for which were fine but no better than the ones at Panda Express The prices were low service good and overall it was an ok dining experience However when we returned for lunch today we were a bit disappointed Having enjoyed a beef dish during the last visit I decided to try the Volcano Beef lunch special My husband got the General Tso chicken Their website says lunch specials are but I believe they were each The chicken was ok but again it was not that crispy Sesame Chicken General Tso Chicken and other similar dishes are only really good if the outside is very crispy and the sauce adds flavor not sogginess The sauce that came with the beef was spicy and flavorful and the accompanying veggies carrot mushrooms broccoli and bok choy were really fresh but the beef itself was really bad quality On the upside the egg roll that came with both lunch specials was really good The filling was savory and it almost tasted like it was fried in butter nnI am certainly glad that the owners of Sun Asian Kitchen brought Chinese food to South Phoenix but I hope that many more Asian restaurateurs follow suit and open restaurants in this area so that Kristin Sunny and I have more options to choose from Until then I will be frequenting Sun Asian Kitchen for happy hour in particular for the crab puffs or togo and driving elsewhere when I went real goodquality Asian food
