Delicious! First time to a Burmese restaurant, very flavourful and a cheery decor. There are also takeaway desserts available at the counter. Both times we went, the food was delicious. I even had a lovely goat offal curry which was the special at the time. Good value.

For something delightfully different on a grey and miserable day, take a drive out to the colourful dining room of Sun's Burmese Kitchen. The sleepy, suburban strip mall location in Blacktown, belies the treasure contained within. Along the front window an array of marionettes dangle—Burmese puppet theatre (yoke thay) dates back to the 15th century. Colourful bamboo parasols made in the umbrella industry of Pathein decorate one wall. Burma’s (now Myanmar) most famous figure, Aung San Suu Kyi, is depicted on two of the restaurant’s four walls. In one corner a bewildering array of untranslated products I have no idea what to do with rest on black metal shelves. The menu is equally foreign, though with the prices so low, it feels okay to experiment. Shwedaung Khaukswe ($10) is a dry noodle dish where flat egg noodles are topped with a yellow, besan-thickened chicken curry under a dollop of coconut cream. It’s served with lime, a sliced boiled egg, coriander, yellow rice crisps and a little bowl of broth, and is very easy to like. Next we hit up the mixed entree ($13) with a small add-on ($2.50) to include fried shrimps & onion, somewhat similar to Indian pakoras, which proved to be my favourite dish. The other winner were the Mandalay fried beans—little round patties made of kidney beans and sticky rice powder dragged through a tangy tamarind-based dipping sauce. Along with battered fried gourd, spring rolls and tofu, it was a bit heavy on the deep fried, so I was glad we’d made the rest of our meal salad. Salad in Myanmar is more reminiscent of what we might call a Buddha bowl here. Heavily dusted with nuts and lentils, Lahpet Thoke ($11) is a traditional Burmese salad of pickled tea leaves broken up with thin slices of tomato. The dressing involves dried shrimp, garlic and chilli. Ginger salad ($11) made on pickled ginger, is topped with sesame seeds and crisp split yellow peas, with fried garlic and dried shrimp for flavour. Both are enjoyable, and we’re able to take home the portions we can’t finish to enjoy with our dinner. I felt warmly welcomed into this space, both by staff and other patrons from Sydney’s Burmese community, who took the opportunity to ask what we thought of their cuisine and discuss the political situation in Myanmar.

Overpriced...'but that's just the way it is' The food is not bad but it's pricey with small portions comparable to other places of this standard. The words ' value for money' don't really spring to mind. A few decorations and brightly painted walls don't really turn a small shop on the outskirts of Blacktown into a cool Sydney eatery worthy of charging these prices....especially with the sloppy table service, non friendly attitude and the $5 corkage fee, which when questioned why so high ' That's just the way we are' was the response! Nice...reminiscent of the price hikes given to tourists in SE Asia, but I don't to get that here!. Sydney has a lot better to offer than this!

Sun's is a great place, food is always delicious, service is good. Excellent value for your money.

Ate here on Friday night. There is ample parking around the back if you're unable to find a spot in front of the stores. Lovely service, food was quick to come out. We ordered the Lahpet Thoke salad, Pan Thay Khawkswe dry noodles, and the goat curry. The highlight was the unique salad, with lots of crispy lentils, beans and garlic - we will definitely be back for another one (or two)

Delicious!

Visited this place with friend to try Burmese food. Being a vegetarian tried mixed entree which has all varieties of vegetarian snacks you get to taste. The patty potato, tofu, gourd snack, spring roll, lentil snack with the tasty sauce was amazing. In mains I tried Dhal and steamed rice. The preparation I requested for mild spicy. The Dhal came with vegetables like potato, ladyfinger, eggplant and beans. The restaurant interior is amazing. Not a very big place so better to make reservation. I don’t think in Sydney we got a lot of places serving Burmese cuisine. Food preparation was good. Didn’t felt like eating outside food.

A hidden gem for good Burmese food tho never tried before 😁. Everything that was order was made perfectly and was flavourful. A must visit place and the menu has got a variety of options to choose from. Personal favourite was chicken curry with rice and the crispy prawn relish was mouth watering. Staff was very polite and the service was fast. Will be back to try more dishes very soon !
