Sun Star Chinese Xīn Xīng Měi Shí

When my host of today and I go out, we don’t visit the most popular or most acclaimed restaurants in the lower mainland. Instead we visit the restaurants that serve the community, has a unique origin story, or brings something new to the restaurant game. And this one had all three. Say hello to “Sun Star” in Coquitlam, the only restaurant that brings together grilled cheese and gyozas, spaghetti with meatballs and lobster chow mien, and Salisbury steak with fried rice. This was traditional Chinese food with training wheels, served in the comfort of a greasy spoon.

I've only ever gone to the Sun Star for breakfast so I can't speak about the Chinese food they serve. However, the breakfasts they serve are consistently good. The server is also very friendly and helpful. When I said I didn't want the toast that comes with my smoked sausage breakfast she offered to replace them with a few slices of tomato. A nice gesture. The food eggs cooked perfectly overeasy with the shredded hashbrowns. The hashbrowns were very crispy and quite enjoyable. Bottom line, in the morning this is a reliable diner with decent coffee, friendly service and good diner food. I have no hesitation recommending this place and I will definitely be returning.

I have to say .. Lived in Coquitlam all my life . Used to order from Lees .. If anyone remembers them . Then been ordering from Js wok forever .. Then recently I tried to call them an they said they were closed !! Other people I know said the same thing . I thought hey let's try sun star .. An omg !!

This small restaurant is perfect for a budget-friendly breakfast. There are no fancy decorations, but if you're craving a classic breakfast of eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and pancakes at an affordable price, this is the spot for you!

The food at this restaurant is good quality and reasonably priced, with friendly staff. We have been coming to this location for a few years now and have noticed a significant improvement since the new owners took over. The restaurant is much cleaner and the staff are all very welcoming. The food is fresh and delicious, with generous portion sizes and fast service. The lunch specials are particularly good value for money. This has now become our go-to place to eat every week, even for my husband who is usually a picky eater when dining out.
