Sun Hai Valley Chinese Restaurant

This is the first restaurant that I came to when I first moved to Florida about a year ago, and ever since I stop by at least once a week, they make my Lo Mein to perfection! I also had their Sub Gum War Bar and it’s as delicious. If you’re up to for a drink, Mari our regular server makes the best Mai Tai’s! It’s always so pleasant to enjoy a conversation with the owner Johnny, who is utterly hospitable and accommodating with my requests like he would do with any of their other guests, him and his wife exude what I call hospitality from their hearts, I found out that they used to own another Chinese restaurant in NY for 20 years! Be aware that they changed the name of the restaurant to SUN HAI TOKYO from Sun Hai Valley, by the way they also have a sushi bar that I haven’t had a chance to try but I’m sure is as good. Based on my expectations, I highly recommend this place.

Classic Chinese spot. Great service, good food and a non pretentious eclectic atmosphere, a combination that is becoming harder to find these days.

I wanted takeout so I called and asked for Moo Shoo Chicken with no sugar, cornstarch or MSG. They told me it wasn’t possible because things are made in advance then we hung up. Fair enough.
But then they called back and said they were confused about which dish and that everything is made to order and they could do my order how I wanted.
When I got it home there was definitely sugar in the sauce (which tasted canned) and of course evidence of starch. They make their Moo Shoo with carrots and don’t use eggs. I’m from NY, I’m used to good Chinese food. This doesn’t qualify. But obviously some people must like it because they’ve been in business for a very long time.
I’m probably not going back.

Classic old school Chinese. My West Palm go-​to for Hot and Sour Soup and Kung Pao Chicken. Highly recommended!

Worst. Meal. Ever. Oh my gosh. It was terrible. Let me say, I didn’t get sick (thank god) but this food was seriously subpar. This was my first time here, I thought, «wow, this business has been here forever, it must be worth it». Nope. It’s not. I think the allure of going there would be the bar, it looks very nice, but skip the food. Btw, the service was friendly and attentive.

If I could award less than a star I would.
How has this place stayed in business over 20 years???
The food was horrible, cold, under cooked, unimaginative, and the place hasn’t had a stitch of work done in years.
The shopping center redid the outside so we mistakenly thought maybe the restaurant had ungraded.
Do yourselves a favor, buy a wok and stay home!!!

Pretty awful actually. Ordered general tso’s chicken combination platter with fried rice. Should be the one thing that it’s easiest to get right but it was completely bland and the fried rice was like none I had ever seen and tasted awful.

Quite simple. The worst food I have ever experienced. Would never recommend or go back.

This is a classic chinese restaurant, the décor is as it was when they opened in 1980 something, classic.
The wait staff is terrific, the water was refilled, the tea was refreshed, and the wet naps, yes wet naps were given.
Our order was taken quickly. One of our party ordered Shrimp and Lobster Sauce, Boston style, we also shared a Veggie Moo Shu, Buddhas Delight, dumpling sauce on the side. Since it was a lunch special, we also ordered Egg Drop soups, Vegetable Spring Rolls, and an Egg Roll.
The food was excelled, just as we hoped, the egg drop soups was silky and clean, the Moo Shu was crisp and had strong flavor. The spring rolls were light and crispy with a sweet filing. The egg roll was good, a little heavier then many of the outer shells, the filling comparable to the spring roll. The highlight was the Shrimp and Lobster sauce, if you are looking for a good example try this out.
At the and of the meal, a bowl of pineapple chunks, fortune cookie, a thank you, and polite come again.
I would recommend Sun Hai Tokyo to Unilocalers looking to recapture a bygone dining experience, unchanged since 1980 something.

Have been coming here for years. Great place for small selection of Chinese buffet and some California rolls. You get a soup and ice cream for free but not part of the buffet. Buffet ends at 2, so do not dare arrive after 1 of you want only the best buffet. Otherwise it tends to be scarce and sometimes not the freshest, but ALWAYS DELICIOUS! Promise. Haven’t tried their regular menu yet, maybe someday.

My kids, wife and I ate here one night for dinner and we all got sick. My wife and I the worst. Doctor told me food poisoning was the reason. I DO NOT recommend this place. To top it off the food was mediocre at best, but service was great.

Very mediocre food. Sweet and attentive service person, but it was Olive Garden level food quality. Lots of cheap touches in the décor, too, indicate that this is NOT a restaurant that places high value on quality of ingredients or was it well prepared.

Unlike many Chinese restaurants; this one has an elegant atmosphere and lots of booths; food is great!

Great Food and Service! We have been enjoying meals at this restaurant for over 20 years and it is always delicious. Staff is great, too.

I have eaten here many times, the food quite good and the service is too !

Classic old school restaurant with linen table cloths and napkins, hot tea, bowl of those crunchy noodles to snack on. And the food was really good too, especially the sushi. Oh yeah, full bar too :)
