24 Suns

24 Suns is an exciting addition to Oceanside. The kitchen is run by chefs coming from Addison, and you can feel the high-level precision. They focus on contemporary Chinese cuisine that changes with the "24 solar terms" (micro-seasons), so the menu feels fresh and intentional. THE FOOD STANDOUTS We enjoyed a tasting-style meal of about 10 dishes (their Five Regions Duck is presented as five separate courses!). Shared below are our must-orders from Solar Term 23 of 24: 🦐 The Shrimp Robuchon: A delectable thin crisp shell surrounds the whole shrimp. The richness is offset by a great combination of hot mustard, fresh basil, and a goji berry that contributes spicy, fresh, and semi-sweet flavors. 🥟 Jiaozi with Doubanjiang Butter: A medium-sized scallop and shrimp dumpling topped with a small slice of charred pineapple, sitting in a rich gravy. Tip: Our server Anna recommended ordering a side of rice to soak up that delicious gravy - highly recommended! 🍆 Eggplant: Smokey richness mixed with a salty-spicy sauce, spread over a crispy flower-shaped wonton. 🍰 Hong Kong Bread Pudding: Moist bread pudding settled into a sumptuous, rich coconut caramel sauce. THE BEST OF THE REST The consistency and bold-yet-traditional flavors across the meal were impressive. Other highlights included the Dongpo Pork Belly, the Swell Pig, and the Black Sesame Budino. • 🦆 The Duck: The Five Regions Half Duck was an experience. The Fujian fermented, deep-fried honey-glazed duck leg was a table favorite of the five preparations. SERVICE ⭐ Special thanks to Anna, who was knowledgeable and provided quality recommendations. The team paced the meal very well and explained the story behind each dish without being intrusive. OVERALL Fine-dining technique with a casual, welcoming neighborhood vibe. Highly recommended for a date night or exploring new flavors.

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 don't 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!

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!!!
