When my host of today and I go out, we don’t visit the most popular or most acclaimed restaurants in the lower mainland. Instead we visit the restaurants that serve the community, has a unique origin story, or brings something new to the restaurant game. And this one had all three. Say hello to “Sun Star” in Coquitlam, the only restaurant that brings together grilled cheese and gyozas, spaghetti with meatballs and lobster chow mien, and Salisbury steak with fried rice. This was traditional Chinese food with training wheels, served in the comfort of a greasy spoon.
First visit, got interested when flyers were distributed in our neighbourhood. Good to know that they deliver. Had dinner, Hot Sour Soup, Crispy Prawns with Spicy Salt and Deep Fried Crispy Chicken ... all good, authentic Chinese dishes. Will definitely repeat! Next time, will order take out or delivery.
I've only ever gone to the Sun Star for breakfast so I can't speak about the Chinese food they serve. However, the breakfasts they serve are consistently good.
The server is also very friendly and helpful. When I said I didn't want the toast that comes with my smoked sausage breakfast she offered to replace them with a few slices of tomato. A nice gesture.
The food - eggs cooked perfectly overeasy with the shredded hashbrowns. The hashbrowns were very crispy and quite enjoyable.
Bottom line, in the morning this is a reliable diner with decent coffee, friendly service and good diner-food.
I have no hesitation recommending this place and I will definitely be returning.
I have to say .. Lived in Coquitlam all my life . Used to order from Lees .. If anyone remembers them . Then been ordering from Js wok forever .. Then recently I tried to call them an they said they were closed !! Other people I know said the same thing . I thought hey let's try sun star .. An omg !!

An another great thing .. The containers are able to go in the microwave !! Great food great service .. This is a 10 plus for me .. Cheers .. Happy eating 🍷🍤
Great little place for an inexpensive breakfast. No frills here, but if you are in the mood for a traditional eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and pancakes breakfast at a great price, this is the place to go!
Good Food,Good Value & Friendly Staff!!. We have been going to this location here for some years now and it has much improved with the new owners. The place is much cleaner now and the staff are all very friendly. The food is fresh and tasty, the portions are huge and the service is quick. The lunch specials are also well worth your money. It have now become our weekly place to eat (even with a husband that's a picky eater when it comes to restaurants).
Have been here a couple of times with co-workere qsince the renos were completed. Clubhouse and fries went up slightly in price ($0.50 maybe) but are just as good as they used to be. Sue is totally awesome. We'll definitely keep coming back.
Good Food, Fresh, Big portions. Decided to try this place out, because it was getting late (close to 10pm), and all the other local Chinese restaurants were closed or closing. This place is open till 10:30pm or 11:00pm.
Can't go wrong here. Not the place to eat in, as it's small and only has a few tables. Great for take-out and delivery. Service is fairly decent and friendly, for what it is. Prices are a little lower than everywhere else, and the portions are big. Food is fresh and full of flavor. Very good Chinese food in the Tri-Cities. Strongly recommended. You can even order online.
We get consistently delicious food and the staff are always pleasant. This place has the best takeout in town as far as I am concerned--MMM what can I say but yummm!
