Sunrise, with its tree-lined streets and sun-bright skyline, is defined by the family rhythms of South Florida life—weeknight dinners after little league, big group birthday parties, and neighborhood takeout rituals.
The city’s Chinese restaurants reflect this spirit: places where welcome is heartfelt, flavors are big, and kids play under the table while adults share stories over platters of noodles and crispy egg rolls.
1. China 1
From the outside, China 1 is unassuming, but the steady stream of locals lines up for good reason: fast, steaming combo plates, crispy fried wontons, and a special touch that balances sweetness, salt, and spice in every dish.
The General Tso’s chicken is an all-ages favorite—delicately battered, fried to crunch without excess grease, then bathed in a glossy sauce that kicks without burning.
Staff are cheerful, friendly, and remember your name if you come twice.
2. Asian Buffet
When you want variety, Asian Buffet has trays of it.
A rainbow of dishes stretches across the restaurant: sizzling garlic shrimp, hot and sour soup forever simmering, tender beef and broccoli, and hand-rolled sushi next to coconut shrimp.
The room brims with laughter and conversation, as families pile plates high and still return for dessert—fried bananas, soft serve, and fortune cookies always steal the show.
For any celebration, after-game feast, or all-you-can-eat craving, there’s simply no rival.
3. Szechuan Palace
South Floridian humidity meets northern China’s dry heat at Szechuan Palace—a haven for fans of numbing peppercorns, flaming chili oil, and robust, bold flavors.
Try the dry-fried string beans, cumin lamb, or ma po tofu for a rush of fire and flavor.
The staff guide timid diners toward milder options, while chili-heads are free to ramp things up as high as they dare. With modern décor and a laid-back pace, it’s a popular spot for both adventurous teens and lovers of authentic regional cuisine.
4. Four Seasons Chinese Restaurant
Named for the warmth and change of the Florida coast, Four Seasons is the definition of a family-run, multi-generational restaurant.
Classic egg drop soup, sweet-and-sour chicken, and plump shrimp fried rice arrive hot and plentiful, while specials feature fresh local seafood and vegetables.
The dining room is full most nights, and long-serving staff treat regulars like family—often adding a bonus appetizer or rounding up the kids to the dessert counter.
5. Lime Fresh Asian Kitchen
A fresh face on Sunrise’s food scene, Lime Fresh is bright, young, and always buzzing, with a semi-open kitchen, signature boba lattes, and a big build-your-own stir-fry menu.
The peanut noodles and ginger chicken are fresh favorites, while stir-fried tofu and avocado-mango rice bowls fit South Florida’s flavor and lifestyle. The interior is modern, friendly, and colorful—a mirror of Sunrise itself.
