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.
Perfect!
Lived in Calgary for 5 years and FINALLY found yummy Chinese food.
I always get the dinner for two to go.
Fresh and crisp.
So happy once I had found this place.
The lady who owns is very sweet.
She remembers your name and cares about their food.
They will always have my business,

To summarize the reviews here:. Personally I love this place, I think the food is great and it usually meets all my expectations. Best ginger beef I've ever had. In my experience the more popular dishes are usually better. The dishes that are not made often can be a gamble.
However, you may notice a theme to some of the negative reviews here. If you are a special snowflake/princess, and complain about when they would like you to pay, or how delivery is sometimes later than estimated, they will not cater to your whining (rightly so). There is a difference between customer service and the 'customer is always right, even when they're wrong' attitude some people have. These things happen - and if you whine about the realities of life, or use them to push for a discount, they will tell you NO. I think this is a good thing. If you don't, you may perceive this as poor customer service.
If you are looking for really great chinese food - go here. If you expect to be waited upon hand and foot, and you are not shy about complaining about minor things - you are probably going to have a bad experience here.
Best Chinese in South Calgary!. WOW! We've tried almost every Chinese place in the south part of Calgary and FINALLY found Sun Island Eatery. The food portions and flavors are amazing and the prices aren't too bad either. We ordered take out and it was pretty busy so the wait was about 40 min but obviously that was for a good reason as the restaurant was packed and the food was well worth it. Give them a try, you wont be let down!
The best Chinese in Calgary. This is by far the best Chinese food in the city. I have lived in Sundance for over 10 years and have been going to Sun Island ever since it opened. Their prices are good, and food is even better. Anyone who doesn't like the food there has to be crazy! No other Chinese food restaurant comes close.
Fantastic!. I have been ordering and dining at this place for a few years. It is the best chinese food in the city. (that I have tried anyway) Phenomenal ginger beef and dumplings. Sometimes the service can be a bit slow when it gets busy as they seem to only have one waitress. It is also a little pricier than some other places, but to me its worth it. I have had too many bad chinese food experiences elsewhere. Sun Island is a refreshing change and I reccomend you try it out.
Disappointing to not have the typical big chicken balls. Besides that, the food was amazing! Easily the best chicken fried rice I ever had. Chicken and broccoli was great. Even the sweet and sour chicken was good. Huge portions for a good price. I'd go there again in a heart beat and suggest it to everyone!
Huge portions! Their ginger.... Huge portions!
Their ginger chicken is just chicken balls in ginger sauce. Not as good as some other places. But everything else they make is vey good. Awesome for leftovers since you know youll have some. Great value considering its about the same price as anywhere else.
The best Chinese food in the city! Always quick and fresh. Not over-battered and greasy. I love the $5 lunch box - just picked it up and had lunch at the lake!
Best food! My favorite Chinese restaurant in Calgary! I always make sure to tell everyone to check it out!
Best Chinese Food in the South. Terrific food. Really busy on the weekends so be prepared to wait for your order unless you order early. Well worth the wait though. Especially the ginger beef, dumplings and sweet n' sour chicken. All so very yummy!
By far the Freshest tasting we have had in quite some time. The vegetables are crisp and firm and the containers Full. We have gone back twice since our first experience 2 months ago and have not been disappointed Give them a try!
Awesome! Best ginger beef I have ever had and the wor won ton soup was terrific. Excellent service! Well worth it.
Best Chinese Food in the South end!!! Hands down better than any restaurant ever.
BEST CHINESE FOOD IN CALGARY. Sun Island is by far the best Chinese restaurant in Calgary! The food is always delicious, quick and reasonably priced for the amount they give you. I will never eat anywhere else now that I have had Sun Island.
The joint is outstanding. The food is to die for.
Dinner for two ! Best won ton soup in town.
Amazing service. We order from there all of the time, and delivery is really fast, always faster than they say. They remember who we are and always friendly.
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!
