Background
Del Mar Rendezvous is a family owned and operated restaurant. It represents the sixth restaurant opened by Executive Chef Mark Sun in his forty-year restaurant career. All six locations (and a seventh new restaurant) are still thriving to this day. Mark’s family has been in the restaurant industry for three generations, with his ancestors cooking for the Chinese emperors in the 19th century.
Mark opened Del Mar Rendezvous one year after his first failed attempt at retirement. Fortunately for our guests, the idea spawned from Mark’s frustration with current Asian food trends and a lack of quality alternatives in the Chinese and Asian Fusion markets. Mark’s concept behind the restaurant was to take old world Chinese and Asian recipes and modernize them using his creativity, attention to presentation, and use of the freshest and highest quality ingredients available.
When you come into Del Mar Rendezvous you will be greeted by either Susie, Mark’s wife, or Dan, the son of one of Mark’s restaurant partners. In the kitchen, Mark works with his nephew Tony, personally trained by Mark for several years. Along with two other Chinese chefs, the kitchen's combined experience in Asian cooking spans over a century. The staff preparing and serving your food have been together for all five years of the restaurant’s existence. The consistently high quality of food and service reflects the long-time experience and dedication of every member of the Rendezvous family.
