The Food here was GREAT!! Everything from the steamed soup dumplings, mongolian beef, orange chickem. The colors of the fresh vegtables were so bright & everything tasted fresh. Everything on the menu is made in house THE BEST!!! DEFINETLY RECOMMEND!!!

Delicious, fresh ingredients, skillfully cooked - tea bar is a lovely compliment. Dishes are flavorful and well cooked instead of being hidden by heavy sauces. Onion pancake is a treat. Dumplings are lovely. Walnut shrimp and orange chicken are crispy without being overly sweet. Vegetables in every dish are super fresh. I don’t know how I have lived in HB so long without discovering Sullivan but, now that I’ve found it, it’s our go-to for Chinese food. Don’t miss the sizzling rice soup!

I was a little hesitant about this place because there are no new reviews but gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised. The lovely woman hostess/owner was fantastic. The food is fresh and tasty. The cost seemed high initially but the portions are generous enough to share so keep that in mind when ordering. My wife and I got an app and an entree each and have plenty for lunch the next day.

Ordered 3 different dishes... all were delicious!! Sue Mae is a wonderful host/ server... she provided us with great customer service. Gave us a dish to try on the house... #3 dumplings in a spicy sauce...OMG! Will be ordering them every time we go!!! The sauce is out of this world! We ate the dumplings & used the sauce on other items. Found a fantastic Chinese restaurant & will be going back there soon!!

Me and my husband have been coming here for I think close to 10 years now. Their food is always so good! My favorite here is the hot and sour soup. I havent had a better hot and sour soup anywhere else I have been. They always give you such large portions and we are never unhappy with anything we have chosen to try. Definitely would recommend!

Best Chinese food around HB. They have great take out but nothing beats dinning in and tasting it fresh.

Been eating here for about 15 years. They’re underrated and deserve better reviews. Everything always tastes very fresh and with high quality ingredients. My fav is the kung pao chicken or beef. Never had anything here that wasn’t good. The people who run the place are always extremely friendly.

Had a wonderful meal tonight with Sullivan’s boss, sumei and her families, partner and friends. I’ve been here as a guest for a couple years since 2016 I came down to so-cal from Bay Area . The owner sumei is already a friend for me as well as her families nowadays. Xiao long bao and dumplings are my favorites, plus delicious plates such as orange chicken and potstickers. Sumei’s service and attitude are the world class ! The restaurant won my 5 star review, I’d like to give one more star if google allows it. Thank you SUMEI!
