Restaurant Review: Sunny China

  While the places I review are usually ones that we dine in, there are times we will bring home some goodies, which can be savored by our family. This usually occurs on an evening when we find ourselves busy with an event or appointment. This was the case last evening, so we stopped at our family's favorite Chinese food location. Sunny China is located at 4633 Shawnee Drive in KCK, and is open from 11:00 am until 10:00 pm every day of the week.

  This small, family run business has a constant flow of business due to their consistent quality, and quick service. The portions are good sized, so the value for the dollar is well spent. The staff is to-the-point direct, so you won't find a lot of chit-chat here. What you will find is the menu items are made when you order, so everything is freshly cooked. The galley style kitchen is laid out behind the counter, so the minutes spent waiting for your meal can be entertaining. The cooks work in a rhythmic fashion, almost like an orchestra of action, as they swish, swirl, and stir-fry the orders to completion.

  Our selections for the evening included General Tsao's Chicken, Teriyaki Chicken on a stick, Stir-Fried Rice, Fried Dumplings, and Crab Rangoon. The total came to about $33.00, but we left with two bags full of food, which would supply us with dinner that evening, as well as lunch the next day. Often when we return with take-out food, it may take a while before the others join us to eat. This is not the case with Sunny China. It seems that just the aroma of the freshly cooked food is enough to draw them out of their fortresses to join us for a delicious meal. Sunny China is certainly a great choice for a family looking for value, as well as good food.
