Best ginger chicken in the city. The salt and pepper squid is good but over cooked half the time. They have a very busy take out and need to work on there time estimates. The last 2 times they said 35 min and it took over an hour.
The night before Christmas is the night I truly enjoy Chinese food. It started over 30 years ago. The only restaurants open on Christmas Eve were Chinese. So we started our Christmas tradition. This year we tried this location as we heard many positive reviews. The food was tasty. It was prepared quickly. The Ginger Beef was outstanding. All 8 dishes were very good. We’ll be back.
They were the best we could find in Calgary South. Especially friendly service; we loved the salt and pepper chicken. Hope we find a replacement in Cochrane!
This is my favourite Western-style Chinese food in the south. The quality is very high- vegetables are always crispy, fresh and clean-tasting. Ample nuts are provided in the cashew dishes. As well, they take pride in their restaurant and are very friendly! They take such care to ensure the fried dishes are still crispy when you get home, making a whole in the box to let out steam so the food doesn’t soak up moisture and get limp. This is my new go-to in the south.

Best Chinese food in the city. Been coming here for 9 years and I've never had better. Owner's are the nicest people and food is always ready on time and delivered quickly.
As a Chinese myself, and struggled to find a good chinese restaurant in the south, the food here was great and quick! They don't have authentic chinese menu, since the population by the area is mostly caucasian, but the food I ordered were delicious and remind me of some restaurants in chinatown area! And the owner was super nice and she was even teaching my husband some cantonese which I struggled with!! Lol will definitely come back!
the best food I had. So fresh and not slimy as most Chinese food. Priced right friendly staff and gluten free item. when in Calgary that the place i like to eat.Never disappointed.
Just ordered delivery - ginger beef, mushroom fried rice, Cantonese chow mien, chicken curry. It was all SO good. Arrived quick, was piping hot and amazing. The ginger beef was tender and probably the best we've had. Awesome!

We absolutely love this Chinese food. It doesn't taste like the standard tin foil bowl food you get in other Chinese establishments. Everything we have eaten here is good. Plus there is no MSG, so you don't have to worry about your heart racing at midnight.
Ordered takeout last Friday evening for two. All the dishes were top quality. Best Chinese food in south Calgary hands down. Loved the won ton soup....so many fresh ingredients. Very yummy.
Incredible food! We stopped in for a quick bite to eat after a long day of running around and could not be happier! The service was fast, friendly and engaging and the food is delicious. I will definitely be recommending Sun Island Eatery to all my friends and family. Thank you for your amazing hospitality. We will be back!
This is our family's favourite Chinese food restaurant, the food is always amazing.. comes out fresh, so delicious , generous portion sizes.. never disappoints. You feel so welcome from the moment you step foot inside, and the owner is so kind and friendly. Hands down the BEST :)
I want to go back and eat in the nicely decorated dining room. Then I’ll be ordering takeout because I haven’t yet tried the War Wonton Soup. Last night’s food was exactly what I wanted: flavourful and fresh and served with great friendly service.
This restaurant is definitely worth the trip and easily accessed off of the McLeod Trail South. You will be glad you went there!
Want great food?
Want a wide selection of items?
Want superb service?
Want attention to your food allergies?
I really REALLY love when the choices include the thin chow menu noodles AND the thicker yummy Shanghai noodles.
Go to Sun Island Eatery and then go back for more. I did and I’ll be back again!
Amazing Food!! We ordered grilled dumplings and they we 10/10! Wor won ton soup was incredible! Also ordered pepper hot pot beef. Also delicious. Service was excellent, price very reasonable.
Went there with the wife and little girls. Food was absolutely fantastic. I have a picky eater for a daughter but she ate a lot.
The service is also beyond our expectations. The manager lady that also served our table, gave our little ones ice-cream just for being friendly at no cost. So far the best Asian/Chinese food we've had in our travels.
What personable service and delicious food:
Yummy crispy ginger beef
& ginger squid - tired of calamari? Try ginger squid!
& pork dumplings (which are not from Costco)
& rice for the ginger beef & ginger squid sauce
What shall we eat next time? Sooooo many choices.
Also, while we were dining in the restaurant, the takeout service was busy with many satisfied customers being happily greeted by the cheery staff.
You NEED to eat this fantastic food!
