Sunnys Chinese is one of the best chinese restaurants in Toronto for group dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Kensington Market.

Editorial review•Jun 10, 2026

Sunny's Chinese occupies a particular position in Toronto's Kensington Market — not Queen West, as some listings conflate — where it has built a reputation as one of the neighbourhood's more purposeful Chinese restaurants. What distinguishes it from the surrounding noise is the combination of serious Cantonese cooking and a natural wine program that has apparently been assembled with genuine curatorial intelligence. Most natural wine bars have never thought to ask which wines work with Chinese food; by most accounts, Sunny's has asked that question and answered it with some care. That alone makes it worth attention before you've even considered what arrives at the table. The kitchen's reputation centers on Cantonese technique executed with the kind of precision that the city's broader Chinese restaurant scene doesn't always receive credit for. Diners consistently point to the char siu as among the better preparations in Toronto — reportedly lacquered and properly rendered, a dish that rewards attention to temperature in ways that shortcut versions don't. The menu is known for approaching Chinese cooking on its own terms rather than calibrating it for a non-Chinese audience, which is the distinction that separates a restaurant with conviction from one merely performing a concept. Whether the full range delivers at that level on any given night is the open question that only a reservation answers. The room is said to carry the specific quality of feeling simultaneously Chinese and entirely Toronto — a balance that is harder to achieve than it sounds, and that reflects something about what Kensington Market does at its most coherent. For a special-occasion dinner that doesn't require a tasting-menu format to justify itself, Sunny's is the kind of place worth booking on a weeknight when the room isn't working against you. Reservations are advisable; walk-ins at peak hours are a gamble.
