Best food I've ever had. Couldn't recommend it enough. Amazing service. Amazing food. 10/10

Sunrise is my absolute favorite Chinese restaurant in Abilene. A small family owned restaurant, the food is amazing, and prices are lower than most other places. Lunch special is still $7.95, while dinner special is $9.95. Both are a great deal. My favorites are house special Lo Mein, Singapore Mai Fun, and the ever popular Moo Goo Gai Pan. If you enjoy seafood, there are several dishes that are absolutely delicious. The bright orange interior will make you think you’re in China! I always get extra pork egg rolls. The best in town! Give Sunrise a try!

The food was great! Tasted awesome and was reasonably priced! My only complaint was that they needed more people working the tables, service was just a little slow and lacking

I went to Sunrise after seeing a post that said it was really good. The service was excellent. The food was great (minus the wonton soup - the broth was different than expected and the noodles were chewy) - but everything else was amazing. The egg rolls were so delicious! Great family deals and priced just right. The inside of the building was nice, but the outside needs some attention - broken glass in the parking lot, broken sign, etc. Overall, a great meal and we will return :)

The orange chicken was really good and the boy that served us was polite. But the cashew chicken that my wife ordered, she could not even even eat one bite of it. It was terrible. And the waiter tried to argue with us about taking it back. We did end up paying for it. They didn’t even give us a break on the price. So I would not recommend this place.

The food was ok at best. The crab rangoons had no filling in them, I think they came out of a box in the freezer, same with the egg rolls and dumplings. Not sure if anything is actually "home made" prices are reasonable. If you are looking to stop in and get some warmed up frozen food quick than it's a good choice. If you are looking for a quality meal I would avoid.

Tried this place once before years ago and thought I would give it another try. We started with the Crab Angels. They were disappointing, flavor was bland and the filling was nonexistent. They were very dry as a result. The Wonton soup was bland and the dumplings were very chewy and pasty. The egg rolls were good but the dipping sauce was to sweet and runny. For an entree, I went with the Jalapeño Chicken. I would say the flavor was ok, but the chicken was over fried so badly that it was like eating beef jerky. The rice was bland as well, the dish was served with no sauce so needless to say it was extremely dry. To top it off, the waiter never filled my drink from the beginning so I ate the entire dry meal without a drink. My wife got the sweet and sour chicken. She ate about a quarter of it and left the rest. This wasn’t so bad I wouldn’t go back, maybe order something else and only if someone else wants to go.

Walking into this place takes me back…. The food , the decor , the ambiance ,and price points hit all the right spots. Wait staff is very friendly and helpful when ordering . I appreciate the fact that all Menu items are cook to order . In a day and age where everything is “hot’n’ready” means losing out on quality. Definitely a must try if you are in the Abilene area

Pretty good Chinese food. The price is a bit high and the restaurant its self wasn't the cleanest thing. Order it to go! Great crab wontons and general Taos chicken

Well let me start by saying that I know that people make food close to what it is if they feel like changing it up. But im not sure what is going on here! I ordered wonton soup, which was dark brown broth with 2 wonton, no vegis of any kind. Dissapointed. Ordered vegi chop suey and we got vegis in some type of soy and Teriyaki sauce, also dissapointing. Ugh! im a little upset cuz I was really looking forward to my favorite dish, mushu chicken. It was not what I'm use to. Maybe my taste buds have changed. I ate some, It was not bad, just the taste didn't match the dish.

Eleven years since I reviewed one of my favorite restaurants. Sunrise just keeps making me happy. There are new owners, or the kids have taken over, because I no longer see the staff I'm used to. But the food is still just as good. There is such variety in Chinese food, I try to get something new every other time. But usually, my favorites keep,drawing me back. The House Special Lo Mein noodles, and the Singapore Mae Fun are so good, I get them over and over. The roasted pork egg rolls aren't quite as good as they used to be, but I still get them. The interior of the restaurant is quite entertaining, so when it's Chinese time, come to Sunrise! Closed on Tuesday.

Excellent food! Great choices on the menu. The service is friendly and efficient. The ambiance was nice and cozy, but the music was not traditional Asian. I would have given five stars, but the food took longer than it should for an afternoon with few patrons. The cashier was not as friendly as the wait staff.

New to the area and went to sunshine for some Chinese food ... the crab ragoons that we ordered did not have the slightest bit of filling, it was 99% fried wonton. The wonton soup had the same problem... just wonton, filling was nonexistent, the broth was cold and flavorless. For the main dishes, we ordered Szechuan chicken, it was hot, fresh, flavorful, and it had a good meat to vegetable ratio. Also, ordered the beef lo mein, it was delicious. The fried rice was mid, nothing to rave about, (which came with both dishes). For a couple with appetizers and two main dishes, it came up to $30.65 The atmosohere was okay. I was disappointed, thought it be better.

A roach scurried onto my arm, which I flicked off as I didn't want to make a scene, the place was malodorous. Needless to say, I will not be going back.

Fraud and theft! I went here the other day and spent 45 dollars. Today, my transaction was updated to 90 and I was double charged. When I called, they gave me the runaround and then they called me back and said they couldn't find the order. They then told me to just go ahead and call the police, cursed me out, and told me not to come back. These owners have no issue stealing from their customers. Do not let them access your credit card information. I am out almost 50 dollars and my account was drawn negative because of their theft. Now I have to go to the police station and call the credit card company.

We simply love the food here. Just a little local "hole in the wall" with great food. If we dine in the service is always attentive and pleasant. We also call and order ahead to pick up in the drive through. Great place with great food - but looks shady outside - get over the looks and get in here for really good food.

I've been on a journey to find good, basic Chinese food in Abilene and I've finally found some in Sunrise! I ordered the Cream Cheese Rangoons, the Hot and Sour Soup, the Chicken Lo Mein, and the Kung Pao chicken combo plate. I did take out, so I can't speak to the ambiance of the restaurant, but the service was quick and the staff was friendly. The food had its highs and lows. The egg rolls are DELICIOUS. So were the cream cheese rangoons. The lo mein was also very tasty. The hot and sour soup didn't have much flavor, so I wouldn't recommend it. I'll have to try their other soups in the future. The Kung Pao was nice and spicy, and the fried rice was pretty good. All in all I will definitely go back!

Yelp
The Egg Drop Soup was good but the Crispy Noodles that comes with it were stale. The Egg Roll was small and very oily. I had the Roast Pork Lo mien, it was Ok but there was very little Pork. One guy was serving so he was very busy. The men's room could use some attention, No Soap, Towels or Hot Water for hand washing. This is a negative sign to me that hygiene is not important to them.

I am sad to say that I will probably never get to eat the BEST lemon chicken I have EVER tasted that is served by Sunrise!!! It is by far my most favorite Chinese food favorite EVER!! I am more sad that I won't return because I live in Phoenix AZ and my mother-in-law passed, so I will not be back to Abilene to visit ever her ever again. My very awesome mother-in-law and I shared a LOVE for their lemon chicken!! We looked forward to our visits so that we could get our fix of lemon chicken together!! It was part of our routine for many years!! Now that she is gone, I miss her so much, but I can't help but think about how much I will miss the lemon chicken as well and our experiences together. Actually, there are many items that we tried prior to discovering the lemon chicken, and all was fantastic, but the lemon chicken became an addiction and we didn't order anything else once we discovered it!! Enjoy for me since I won't be able to anymore!! Sunrise, I will miss you!! Thank you for so many awesome memories eating lemon chicken with my mother-in-law!!!!!

Simple wonton soup is a No. Very bland, broth and few wonton. Nothing else. Lukewarm. Mostly broth in a quart.

I have eaten here about a dozen times now and every time has been quite good. The restaurant has a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere. The food is the best Chinese food in Abilene, hands down. The prices are comparable to any other Chinese restaurant, the sweet and sour chicken is perfectly puffy, the fried rice is always perfect, the crab Rangoon is perfect, the beef and broccoli always has enough sauce, and my personal favorite, the sesame chicken, is the best I have ever tasted. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

This place is amazing. Super friendly service, great prices, high quality tasty food. It was everything we'd hoped for! The wontons and crab Rangoon we crispy and perfect. The jalapeño chicken is a must try with lots of jalapeños! The pork low menu was bursting with flavor. This is my new go to spot!

Well, This Place Is Not A Purveyor Of Chinese Food That Resembles Anything Good...w-h-a-t-s-o-e-v-e-r !!!! OMG. The "Fried Rice" Had No Meat, No Veggies, Not Even A Damn Tiny Bit Of Onion, Was Undersalted, Very Underseasoned, And Was So Dang Dry That I Almost Chocked On It While Trying To Eat It. In A Chinese Restaurant, I Always Start By Eating The Rice, Because If The Rice Is Good, Chances Are Everything Else Will, Or Might Be Good Too. Well, THIS rice was BEYOND TERRIBLE. OK, I Ordered Sweet And Sour Pork. OMG - This Stuff Was Insanely Sweet. I Could Taste Zero Flavor. Just Sugar. This Stuff Is Definitely Sweet And Sour That Is NOT Even Close To The Normal. Good Grief. OK, That Was Just The Sauce And Flavoring. Now, The Meat - Listen - Golf Balls Are Not As Hard As Those Pieces Of Pork Were. Never Have I Had Sweet And Sour Pork, And I Have Had A Ton Of It In My 68 Some Years, Where The Pork Was Not Just Too Hard, It Was Like Trying To Chew Down On A Golf Ball, As I Said. Again, Good Grief. HIDEOUS AT BEST. How Hard Is It To Make This Dish. It Is Apparently Rocket Science To These Cooks At This Place. Now, The Egg Roll - Cold, Too Soft, No Seasoning Whatsoever, Weird Filling, And Way Too Much Salt, And It Tasted Old. Very Old. YUKKO ! I Shall Never, Ever Return To This So-called Restaurant ! SHEESH!!!!!!

I rarely give terrible reviews but, I'm mind blown that this place has 4 stars. The exterior is dark and dingy; I wondered if it was even open. I got a sweet and sour chicken combination player and an order of crab rangoon. 1.) the chicken was so greasy you could bite it and taste the oil as it ran down your chin. 2.) the egg roll was broken and covered in the same swampy grease. 3.) OK the crab rangoon. I wish I'd taken a picture of this because it was truly unbelievable. It was greasy as expected but, that wasn't the craziest part. They put a pea sized amount of filling in it! I'm not exaggerating! Crab Rangoon is one of my favorite things to eat and they ruined it! 4.) The fried rice had nothing it it. No meat, no veggies, no egg.... Nothing!!! BUT, it was delicious! It was the only thing I liked in my entire meal!

Looks dingy on the outside, but the food is great. I had the crab Rangoon and the Singapore chow mei fun. Both were excellent and I had so much mei fun left for lunch the next day. Good value and fast, too. I chose the drive through.

Went through the drive thru thinking it would be faster. Nope, took my order and paid. Sat for about 10 minutes. They asked me to pull around. I did and sat there another 10 min. So I went inside. The staff where all over the place. Not helping customers as they came in. It took another 10 min to get my order. The food is pretty good but not great. Not a place I'll go again.

The place may not look like much on the outside but don't let that fool you! The food is great, my favorite are the egg rolls and rangoons they are extra crispy and the sweet and sour sauce is amazing! We got the lunch specials and they was more than enough food, prices are great too!

So hungry today. Home sick. Needed something I could taste. Purchased a moo goo gai pan. Delicious. I will go back.

Wasn't as tasty as last time. Hot and spicy pork was BIG disappointment! Small, short strips of something. Lots of good veggies to go with my okay order.

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. The place smells like damp, there are also flies flying on our table. Calamari taste good but i didn't like the sauce and the plating sucks.

Honestly it could be good but their hidden fees, included tips, and customer service stopped me from trying it. Don't say a dish is a price then add gratuity and extra fees for no reason. I'll never actually give this place a try after this.

Servers were very friendly. Restaurant was clean. Sanitizer available. They gave us no utensils or chopsticks or napkins until we asked. Food was not awful but not great. My mom only ate a few bites. Shrimp from shrimp and vegetables was terrible. Lemon chicken was mostly batter but had a good taste. Single stall bathroom meant a line in the hallway.

It wasn't that good but it was okay the sweet and sour chicken was good but a little soggy but the servers where really nice.

Today, I got take out from this place. It was my first time trying this Chinese restaurant and I was surprisingly shocked how good my food was. When I called to place the order, I was just placing lunch specials but the person taking my order said it would be cheaper if I switched my lunch specials to combination plates. (Which I very much appreciate someone trying to save me money even though it's a restaurant and that's how they make their income.) Also the waiter taking my order took the time to explain the difference between chicken lo mein and chow mein. Both of these events where a big plus in my book as far as their customer service. Got home with my take out and when it comes to portions, it was all really good sizes. I got chicken lo mein, General tso, sweet & sour sauce, pan fried dumplings, and two pork egg rolls. The food was actually really good, The chicken lo mein had excellent flavor and I really like the bigger cut veggies in my noodles ( easier to pick out for my picky toddler.) the fried rice had good flavor as well as the dumplings. Those dumplings were delicious!!! And the sweet and sour sauce was soo good, I wish I had asked for more. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the egg rolls, the pork inside had a funky smell and it wasn't very good... But that could just be my own taste bud Preference... Other than that, my food was delicious (minus the egg roll) and I will definitely be coming back to try more things off of their menu.

This is my go to Chinese food place. I love the overly red, anti negativity red of the inside decor. The family and employees are great to deal with and are friendly and helpful. Their beef and noodle soup, that I order spicy, is to die for and very filling. All their food is generally good, but if I had to pick something, their fried rice is not really my thing. I'm not saying that its bad, just saying that I don't like it.

Great place, tried it today after reading reviews here, so a big thanks to previous Yelpers! As always it was my Wife and I that tried this place together. Between us we tried the Fried Wontons for an appetizer, then Generals Chicken and Mongolian Chicken combinations.(see those items in the photos I uploaded). Like most Fried Wontons there wasn't much meat in them but as an appetizer they hit the spot and tasted great. Both chicken dishes were excellent in taste and quality and the pork fried rice they came with was also really good! We opted for the egg rolls with the combinations since a lot of Yelpers seemed to like them. Well they were so good we ordered another one each. I'm not sure if they were made in house, but they tasted like they were home made. Service was very good. We went on a Sunday early evening. Just as we got there another group was just leaving and then we had the place to ourselves. There was just one young man attending to us that was friendly and attentive. We both felt a little bad because we had both been out in the sun and was drinking like there was no tomorrow. Still, he refilled our drinks many times quickly and before we were out most times. Its always nice to find a place where you can't decide on which dish to get, oh well... we'll just have to go back and try some more. Try it out!

Doesn't look like much when you drive by, but the staff is really friendly and they accommodate for large party in the dining room. Very good food over a couple in-town and the price per the amount of food you get is unbeatable. I ordered a dish I loved in D.C and would get the chicken curry with steamed tofu!! The sauce is very good and so not need to add anything additional. Will be my first go-to place for Chinese take out or dine in.

I had heard many great things about Sunrise, so my family had to check it out. We were greeted and seated promptly. There were only a handful of tables occupied, so it was nice and quiet. I ordered the chicken lo mein dinner combo, that also included an egg roll and pork fried rice. My husband ordered the lemon chicken combo and got the crab Rangoon instead of the egg roll. The egg roll was very good and came with a yummy sauce. The food came out very quickly and looked great. Portions were nicely sized. The lo mein was a little greasy, but was delicious. The fried rice was flavorful and the best I've had from a Chinese restaurant in town. My picky 1 1/2 year old loved it. Our bill came out to less than $20 before tip. The potions were generous enough that we both took a box home. We will definitely be repeat customers.

I really like their spring rolls, though they do tend to add a lot of ginger to them. Food is cooked fairly quickly, so you don't have to wait too long. Solid Chinese restaurant.

Good food and good service. Kung pao sauce not very spicy though. Mai fun noodles real good not too greasy and not limp. Beef sticks excellent. Fried won tons with pork very tasty. Fried rice was just ok. Shrimp dish nice plump shrimp. Broccoli very crisp. Prices reasonable. Good portions.
