Sunmoon specializes in a diverse range of traditional Chinese dishes, prepared with fresh ingredients and a perfect balance of flavors.

Their Mongolian Chicken and Mongolian Lamb are standout choices—succulent and richly seasoned, each bite delivers that balanced harmony of sweet, savory, and smoky nuances that define authentic Mongolian cuisine.

For noodle lovers, the King Prawns Chow Mein and Combination Chow Mein are irresistible. The noodles come perfectly tossed and glazed with sauces that cling just right—never oily—with fresh, crunchy vegetables and generous portions of protein. If you prefer vegetarian options, Sunmoon’s selection of crisp and vibrant vegetables—such as the Szechuan Vegetables or Vegetables with Black Bean Sauce—showcases their skill in delivering bold flavors without overpowering freshness.
What truly elevates the dining experience here is the attention to detail: meats are cooked to perfection, never soggy or overdone, vegetables remain fresh and crisp, and sauces boast a beautiful depth and complexity.

This was our first time ordering food from them and in our opinion it was very nice and a good value for the money. I found the owners to be extremely friendly and a real pleasure to deal with. In summary Great service, Great food, and real value for money with portion amounts. We will definitely order again.

Seriously THE BEST Chinese food you're going to find anywhere hands down. The place isn't much to look at, just a little strip mall hole in the wall... But the food is superb. Worth going out of your way for. Meat comes out properly cooked, actually tasting like the meat is supposed to be (not soggy or overcooked), the veggies were crisp and tasty, the sauces delicious. Even the spring rolls are a revelation: taste and feel like they're made fresh on site. Can not recommend enough!!! The food was so good I didn't pause to take a photo.

We recently placed a large order to celebrate my daughters birthday with family and we not disappointed! We rang and gave them plenty of notice of our large order and what time we wanted to collect it - it was hot and waiting when we arrived. Each meal with steaming hot, full of flavour and delicious. The store staff were lovely and friendly. We will absolutely be back again in the future.

Been eating from here for 16 years. Lovely food, great menu and large portions. We have family dinners and order lots of food. Friends and family always comment how beautiful the food is. On the odd occasion they close, we try elsewhere and are ALWAYS disappointed. 10/10 for me. Current owners are getting on. Not sure how long they’ll keep it going. Highly recommended.
