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!!!

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.

We celebrated a belated mother’s 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.

We found this place on the In-Kind app. I highly recommend you wait for a coupon or grab some gift cards from Costco to help reduce the cost. You’ll want to order at least 2 dishes per person with the intent to share, as well as some tea. There were about two portions per plate. This was my second Michelin level restaurant and it didn’t fail to deliver. Every dish had multiple layers of flavor that went well together. We splurged a bit on the duck which was very good, but by far the best dish was the Brown Butter Fried Chicken. Truly out of this world savory. They have a rotating menu every 2 weeks targeting local and seasonal ingredients so we’ll definitely be back to try other seasons. The service was very friendly and timely to our eating pace. The atmosphere is definitely higher end but with a livelier vibe, you can get away with business casual for sure. Definitely worth checking out for an important event or if you want to try some fancy Chinese food, there’s not many other spots here in SD that offer this.

Fantastic gem in Oceanside. Every dish amazed while also providing a novel experience. Easily the most enjoyable spot for enjoying unique and eclectic dishes in the city.
Waitstaff was on the ball with recommendations and tableside candor. The vegans at our table were especially appreciative of the offerings (the wood ear mushrooms were especially good). But I would also highly recommend trying the orange sweet bread for the non vegans out there.
A wide selection of high end sake is available as well. Would recommend to all the foodies out there.

I had an incredible dining experience at 24 Suns in Oceanside. The five regions half duck was outstanding, and every dish we tried had its own unique flavor profile that truly felt like a journey through China. The chefs are on another level, creating Chinese food unlike anything I’ve had before. On top of that, the service was the best I’ve experienced in Oceanside—genuine, attentive, and refreshing. Highly recommend this spot!

Deeply Disappointing Chinese New Year Dinner – Not Worthy of Its Reputation
Our family spans three generations of Chinese and Chinese American, and we chose 24 Suns to celebrate Chinese New Year, expecting refined Chinese inspired cuisine and respectful hospitality. Instead, this became one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve had at a restaurant of this supposed level.
Food: Across the 10 dishes we ordered, the cooking was consistently unbalanced – far too spicy, overly salty, overly sour, and heavily colored, with sauces that did not taste natural or clean. The meat, seafood, and fruit did not show the freshness or quality I expect from a serious kitchen. I wear a CGM not because I am diabetic, but to track biomarkers for health and longevity, and my glucose rose about 50 points even before dessert, which strongly suggests an unnecessary load of sugar or refined carbs in the savory courses.
Service: We arrived at 4:00 pm as the first reservation of the evening with a 90 year old grandmother, clearly stating that we were celebrating Chinese New Year and requesting a booth and a quiet table. Our booth request was declined with the explanation that we had not reserved it specifically, and we were instead seated at a noisy center table. Despite asking to be away from the crowd, we were placed in what felt like the loudest part of the dining room, making normal conversation across three generations nearly impossible. For a restaurant positioning itself at this level, this showed very little respect or consideration for guests’ comfort, especially elderly diners.
Ambiance: The ambiance felt disconnected from both Chinese and broader Asian aesthetics. Walking in, it felt more like a generic lounge or bar than a Chinese restaurant, and the loud, tasteless music made it difficult to relax or enjoy the meal or the holiday. Nothing about the environment supported a calm, celebratory Chinese New Year dinner.
Overall: Between the unbalanced, artificial tasting food, the lack of ingredient quality, the disregard for our seating and noise requests on an important cultural holiday, and the jarring ambiance, this experience fell far below expectations. For us as a three generation Chinese family, this was sadly the worst “fine dining” Chinese New Year celebration we have had, and I cannot recommend 24 Suns to serious diners or to anyone bringing elderly family members for a special occasion.

My friends and I had an absolutely delightful evening at 24 Suns, tucked into an Oceanside plaza (ample parking!). From the moment we stepped through the door, the welcome was warm and genuine, and our server’s attentiveness set the tone for a flawless meal.
Our glasses were never empty (kudos to the sommelier for impeccable pours), and I loved the playful craft‑bar ice cube in my soda—a charming touch. We kicked off with the amuse‑bouche, a tantalizing little bite that previewed the culinary creativity to come.
Highlights included:
• Bird’s Nest: Visually stunning, and every textural element—from crispy strands to tender and moist swordfish. It totally won me over even though I usually find swordfish too dense.
• Jiaozi: These incredible shrimp and scallop dumplings burst with pure flavor fireworks and were another of my favorite choices.
• Lamb Leg Yi Mein: Comforting yet refined, with noodles that soaked up every bit of seasoned jus.
• Jidori Butter‑Fried Chicken: Golden, extra‑crispy, and perfect for sharing; a crowd‑pleaser.
• Sweet & Sour Full Red Snapper: The star of the night—skin crisped to perfection, flesh tender and delicious. We literally scraped the plate clean and promptly vowed to return in hopes it’ll grace the revolving menu again.
Desserts struck the perfect balance of sweetness: the cake with its brown butter, fig and white chocolate was a hit and the “budino” delivered sophisticated pairings of sesame, butterscotch, and chocolate ganache—so good that our table ordered two more!
Between the Michelin-trained chefs and sommelier, 24 Suns shines bright. I can’t wait to bring my husband back and introduce more friends to these inventive, flavor‑packed creations. Highly recommended!
