The sesame chicken is the best around. Always crunchy, very well seasoned, and tender. Entres come with a fresh salad bar. My littles LOVED the shrimp stir fry. They also have DELICIOUS donuts and a small market! Our new weekly go too. The owners are very friendly and provide great rapport!

Thai and Cambodian cuisine. My husband had the Pad Thai and I had Chicken Lemongrass. Both were delicious. There is also a buffet bar with familiar American staples for those who prefer fried chicken, etc. I went back today for Daylight Donuts. The restaurant owners had the local Daylight franchise for many years, and cooked the best donuts in town. I used to take my children by the previous donut location for a special treat when theywere young. This week they added the donut franchise to the restaurant, so I visited with my (now) adult children. The donuts were just as delicious as we remembered. We will definitely be back.

We were passing through today and stopped for dinner. My husband had a lemongrass dish and I had chicken Pad Thai. My husband really liked the lemongrass dish and I was thrilled to find somewhere that could make Pad Thai like my favorite restraunt in Phoenix Arizona that went out of business in 2017. A big thanks to Sun's Diner!

Hubby wanted Asian the night before his procedure at the hospital. Our normal Asian food place was closed so we tried here. We didn't know what to order so the gentlemen suggested Sesame Chicken. Wow! It was delish, a lot of food, and so so good. Please is bright, clean, good music, and a salad bar with every meal. The days later after the procedure when I asked hubby where he wanted to eat for his first meal....Sesame Chicken from Suns! Oh and the donuts are good too!

Nice looking, clean and new building. Easy parking. Absolutely the best owners and great staff. Terrific food. Best Cambodian in the state. Will keep coming back, even after the upcoming name change. Stopped in for lunch this week. The new Sun's Special (not yet on the menu) is excellent! It included Sesame Chicken, Beef and Broccoli, and Steamed Rice. Delicious.
