24 Suns - Oceanside (CA)

5 /5 Allison OHare: Can’t rate this spot high enough! ⭐️ Each dish was presented beautifully, served quickly, and was so incredibly tasty! The flavor and texture in every bite of the seasonal beef dish was to die for and by far the best gyoza I’ve ever had!!!

5 /5 Brooke B: 24 Suns took amazing care of us on our anniversary! The staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and drinks (which are on constant rotation, per the namesake) and gave helpful recommendations. The menu may differ from what I share currently, but there will always be stand-out dishes here. Personal favorites of mine from the 17th term were the tiger salad and char siu pork, the jiaozi, dan dan noodles, brown butter jidori chicken, and the Hunan sirloin. Black sesame budino for dessert is also a must! And dont forget to try the hot tea; they have a great selection and resteep the pot for you. We will be back for many more meals!

5 /5 Alena Blasio: We celebrated a belated mothers day with our three children and we all enjoyed the variety, creativity, and flavors the chefs at 24 Suns curated. The presentation is beautiful, thoughtful, and executed with precision. You can definitely enjoy eating with your eyes first under these chefs watch. Our kids (10, 12, and 23) each had favorites, but also enjoyed the adventure of trying as many dishes as possible. Particular favorites were the Silky Egg Custard, Crudo, Shrimp, Duck 5 Ways, and the Shrimp Toast. The Duck and shrimp toast were so popular that we ordered them twice! The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and the wine list celebrates unique old world wines which we truly enjoyed. We are looking forward to experiencing their evolving menu, and growth in the community.

5 /5 David Oconnor: Tried this place based on word of mouth. The location is a bit out of the way in Oceanside, CA, and when you arrive at the strip mall, you’re not quite sure what to expect. Once inside, the décor is nice and inviting. The service was very good, and the food was excellent. Everything we ordered was great. We finished with the duck dish, which was served in five separate plates, each with its own unique flavor and texture. It was a standout experience. Overall, the food was fantastic — I’ll definitely be back.

5 /5 Myranda Munoz: TLDR: Service was outstanding, food was absolutely delicious and complex. Coming back soon! My experience here was outstanding from the moment we sat down to the moment we walked out. We were kindly greeted by our server Raul, who was absolutely amazing and described every dish in great detailed and took the time out to figure out what dishes he recommended for our pallets which I highly appreciated since this was our first time in this establishment. My husband and I came here with our One-year-old son and made sure to call ahead to see if they had highchair accommodations, which they did. They recommend a table on the floor instead of a booth because the highchair wasn’t high enough, which I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the suggestion. Not once did the server make us feel like we were out of place with our child in a restaurant that serves such high-quality food. We highly appreciated that. We ordered the birds nest, which was a great Segway into our next dish, which was the Thai and pork sin salad. The numbing of the green sichuan peppercorn was complemented by the sweet and freshness of the salad with a slight crunch from the celery. Then we had the chicken corn and caviar, which felt like a taste of home with a unique twist from the crispy chicken skin and caviar that complemented the broth and custard of the chicken so well. Following after we enjoyed the wild Robuchon shrimp that was spicy from the hot mustard yet sweet from the shrimp and finish with a freshness from the basil, a dish I would definitely recommend for complexity. We also had the duck five ways which was delicious, but I’m not a big duck fan so it wasn’t my favorite. The brown butter fried chicken is a must recommend. I never order chicken when I go out to eat but this was a game changer. Overall, I’m so happy I found this place in the Michelin guide and I hope they get a star or at least a bib gourmand one day. I can taste the passion in each bite and look forward to dining here and getting serviced by Raul again! P.s. The lighting didn’t do justice for the dishes, so I didn’t take many pictures but trust me they are delicious.
