    Meat in the " vegetarian " imperial rolls

    They got my order wrong. I paid for extra imperial rolls and my order did not even have the shimps I asked and paid for. Then I found meat in the imperial rolls when I asked for vegetarian and no meat . They never gave me the extra rolls I paid for . I spent money for nothing and I' m not happy . They don't listen. Never again

    BBQ Lemongrass Pork + Imperial Roll Bún ($13.95) + Loco Moco w/ two beef patties + fried eggs ($13.95) + Spam Musubi (2 pc-$6)

    Me: "Where do you want to eat - around here or drive somewhere else?" Friend: "Let's just stay on 16th." Me: "Ok, Truly Mediterranean (*thinking*: please pick this!), Picaro (or this), or Sunflower (please, do NOT pick this!)? Friend: "Hmmm, Sunflower sounds good!" Me: "Sure!" Cap. But, I didn't want to kill the positive vibes just because Sunflower's food is not my jam. But, maybe they've improved from my last visit? Sunflower has been in The Mission for as long as I can remember (nearly 2 decades) and they also have a location in Potrero Hill. They're open for takeout, delivery, indoor dining, and outdoor dining (dog-friendly). While their name is "Sunflower 'Authentic' Vietnamese Restaurant", they don't serve authentic Viet eats. It's Chinese style Viet food. M E N U Typical Viet menu of apps, phở, bún, and entrees. Online menu is different than the in-person menu. I asked about Viet rice plates and was told, you have to order a side of rice to go with your entrée. They also have a Hawaiian BBQ menu that includes rice plates so that's odd. Beer available. F O O D * Spam Musubi (2pc-$6) // 2 stars 2 stars for the spam (not coated in soy+sugar glaze) because you can't go wrong with spam (if you grew up on it). The rice was very mushy so we didn't eat it. * Bún Thịt Nướng Chả Giò: BBQ Lemongrass Pork & Imperial Rolls Vermicelli Bowl ($13.95) // 2.5 stars: https://tinyurl.com/3fas2wdm --Thịt Nướng (BBQ Lemongrass Pork): Hella salty with no lemongrass flavor. Tasted more like Chinese style pork since it was heavy on the soy sauce and oyster sauce (?). --Chả Giò (Imperial Rolls): Hot and crunchy with savory pork. Menu says, there's taro but didn't taste any. --Bún: The vermicelli noodles were overcooked and broken up into small segments. They don't give you much noodles. --Accoutrements: Chopped romaine lettuce (crisp), cucumbers (fresh), and pickled carrots + daikon (hella sour). -- Nước chấm (fish dipping sauce): So salty, needs more sugar and lime for balance. * Loco Moco: Two beef patties, two fried eggs, rice, gravy (Regular - $13.95) // 3 stars Not my order but non-picky friend said, it wasn't good. At least the eggs were runny! S E R V I C E Super sweet cashier and server, that also helps cooks in the kitchen. We were the only ones there and food took about 20 minutes. A M B I A N C E Dingy hole-in-the-wall with four tables inside and two tables outside. P A R K I N G Very challenging street parking. Overall, if you're used to good Viet food in the TL or in E San Jose, Sunflower is probably not going to cut it. BUT...if you're solely looking for cheap AZN food for sustenance while barhopping on 16th, this may be an ok option.

    Lemongrass Beef Vermicelli Bowl
    Stefanie Q.

    Great little Vietnamese spot on 16th at Valencia, right next to the Roxie Theater. I had a couple hours to kill before catching a movie, so I sat outside and people watched while waiting for my food. The staff were very kind and attentive. I ordered the Lemongrass beef vermicelli bowl, which comes with crispy (egg or spring?) rolls on top. The portion size was generous; I took home leftovers and it was just as delicious the next day for lunch. Can't wait to come back and try the Hawaiian BBQ options, too!

    Hawaiian Items

    VIETNAMESE OR HAWAIIAN I like these two cuisines, but for this restaurant it represents a dilemma for me. This restaurant is close to the Roxie Theater. One evening I came here to eat before watching a movie at the Roxie Theater. I ordered the imperial rolls and house fried rice. At any Vietnamese eateries I prefer imperial rolls over spring rolls as the imperial rolls are fried. I can make a meal of these imperial rolls. The house fried rice looked small in portion yet was tasty. It also wasn't oily but hearty. After seeing the menu on the wall of the restaurant that includes several Hawaiian dishes I wanted to come here again. About a month later I ate at Sunflower Authentic Vietnamese Restaurant. I ordered the spam musabi and BBQ beef short ribs. It was great seeing how the spam musabi was made. Most spam musabi I've ordered the rice ends to be too hard. Not at Sunflower Authentic Vietnamese Restaurant where the rice is warm and soft. Even though this place mostly serves Vietnamese dishes that one Hawaiian dish this is the best spam musabi I ever had at an eatery. The BBQ beef short rib at Sunflower Authentic Vietnamese Restaurant is better than most BBQ beef short rib I've ate from other Hawaiian eateries. First the portion of the beef ribs engulfs the two scoops of rice as too often I get more rice than meat at other places for this dish. Second the BBQ beef short rib was also flavorful with the combination of meat and fat. I ate here about several weeks later. I knew this time I wanted to order Vietnamese food. I ordered jasmine rice and shaking beef, which I never had. I loved the portion of the shaking beef, but there was something about the taste. I tasted the beef but unlike the BBQ beef short rib the shaking beef lacked flavor. I didn't know if this dish was supposed to be sweet, savory, or spicy. Of all the Vietnamese and Hawaiian dishes I ordered from Sunflower Authentic Vietnamese Restaurant, the Vietnamese dish of shaking beef was the worst I ate. This place left me in a flux. Is it a Hawaiian or Vietnamese? I was more impressed with the Hawaiian dishes than the Vietnamese dishes from this eatery. I think if this place focused solely either on Vietnamese or Hawaiian the quality of the food from that cuisine would be clarified.

    Summer rolls
    Matt J.

    Sunflower makes the best summer rolls in the city. Hard stop. As evidenced by the picture, my meal was just two orders of them. One star off because the food took ages, possibly because it seems to be an overwhelmingly takeout oriented operation. The service was very terse, and while I'd never expect the utmost attentiveness in that setting, a little more warmth would take this place to the next level.

    Jack R.

    Hard to find place thats literally two restaurants on one. The left side is Hawaiian BBQ and the right is Vietnamese. I must have walked by this place a dozen times and still couldn't find it. It's to the left of the theater. Do not order their thai iced tea. I think mine was contaminated because it tasted like it had some chemical cleaner in it. I took a sip and it burned the back of my throat. I instantly threw it away. The beef pho was skimpy at best. The only good part was that the meat was tender. The soup was okay but it doesn't come with anything. Just some slices of rare beef. No tendons or any other pieces. They don't include any sauces like hot sauce or hoisin sauce to go. Small portions. Will not be coming back.

    One of their chicken specials. My friend loved it, especially the soup.

    Have you ever experienced something that while it was happening, you already wish it could be for…read morethe first time again? Filipino-Japanese fusion has been a tried and true combination, including my boyfriend and I's relationship (ba dum tss). However, Ox and Tiger have MASTERED the fusion aspect. Ox and Tiger is an intimate dining experience, with 8 seats, and gorgeous plating, menu, and cute chopstick rests! Comes with 3 courses with an additional 4th add-on. They also have a drinking menu, and they noted that the menu changes every 2 months (every even month!) EJ is such a wonderful story teller, and Hitomi (who created the menu for the month of May) had a great twist on everyday classics in Japanese cuisine. As the dishes were prepared and presented, EJ would tell the backstory on the dish(es), a personal note about each, and Hitomi's take on it to sweeten the deal. As soon as the experience starts, EJ tells us that the doors will be locked to prevent any distractions from outside (aka if you're late, you're outta luck), but we were encouraged to go outside for air if necessary. (I tried taking these notes on the food while EJ was talking about each dish so bear with me). ESL lunch The backstory was that Hitomi loved caesar salad while going to school in America, so she created a "perfect bite" with a Japanese twist to it. The word "gomoku" literally translates to "5 ingredients," to which I was only able to remember 2 of 5 of the vegetables, which were snappeas and roasted beets, with quinoa and tinapa (smoked fish). The fish that was used wae a cured Spanish makerel. T.A.M.M.Y I wish I remembered the words for this, but this is actually Hitomi's English name when she moved to the states. The acronym aspect was for the class at the time to think of ways to learn to like their name (each letter was a positive attribute and I can't remember what EJ said). The backstory to this was that Hitomi, being born and raised in Japan, was actually the biggest fan of California roll - did not like traditional sushi (or raw fish for that matter). - T.A.M.M.Y. is Hitomi's take on that. This was monk fish, with the fish scraps dipped into dashi sauce and kyuri (Japanese cucumber). In other words, no part of the fish was wasted in the making of this dish (in true Japanese AND Filipino fashion). This also had pinipig (granola-like topping glazed in shoyu) [Shoyu = soy sauce] Omiotsuke Now this is where I was blown away. First of all, I did not know what the hell this word was in English, but I watched every part of this dish being prepared and was even more confused when it was presented as dessert. When EJ started explaining, it made all the sense in the world. There is a tofu skin roll, vanilla ice cream, a mushroom topping, cherry miso compote concoction (this is where I butchered the exact creation - this is where the flavor was distracting me from what it actually was). Did you notice the ingredients? What is one thing one will eat at any Japanese restaurant, almost as a courtesy/complimentary item? Omiotsuke is, as polite as one could possibly say, is miso soup. This is Hitomi's take on miso soup, the flavor was spot on. I never thought to pair dashi-like flavors with ice cream (there is already shoyu with vanilla ice cream, but this was a flavor sensation). EJ was so kind when my boyfriend and I admitted we came for an anniversary, and we even got to see his reaction when we said we were also Japanese/Filipino (I'm also an Ox, but no Tigers here). They took this lovely photo of us to commemorate the evening, which sits on our fridge to this day. Again, gochiso-salamat :) to EJ and staff! We hope to come back soon.

Situated in a small, 8 seat counter, dinner is intimate with dishes being prepared right in front of you. The menu features three courses, an appetizer, main, and a dessert - with the option for an additional add-on. Our meal featured a focus on fish, in particular mackerel and monkfish. Each of the dishes were deconstructions of familiar concepts such as Caesar salad and a California roll, but enhanced with new flavors. The mackerel was sublime, perfectly charred exterior with a still raw interior. The monkfish was tender, coated in a ginger, wasabi sauce next to crispy sweet rice and avocado. The dessert was by far the most unique, being a miso dashi, mushroom cherry coated coconut ice cream with a tupig-like mochi on the side. The savory, sweet, sour combination completely catches you off guard but becomes increasingly addictive the more you eat. So bold and absolutely memorable. Ox&Tiger takes familiar concepts, breaks them apart, then fuses them back together with a flair of Filipino and Japanese flavors. This results in dishes that are utterly unique and innovative. Additionally, with menus and playlists designed by family, this truly feels like the epitome of a family-run business and a meal cooked with so much care in front of you. This is absolutely worth a visit and an opportunity to try new flavors you've never experienced before.

Everything about the ordering process and the quality of the food itself was good but not great. There was no wow factor or anything that left me feeling extra motivated to return, but I also wouldn't be opposed if I were nearby and craving onigiri. There's a single kiosk in-store to order at, but you can also place an order with the person working the counter if it's not too busy. I wasn't sure what I wanted immediately, so I waited for one of my friends to finish before ordering. I added 1 unagi eel, 1 unagi onigiri, and 1 crab onigiri to my basket and checked out. I have absolutely no idea what's the difference between "unagi eel" and "unagi onigiri", and when I went to pick up my order, the staff member told me my order was two unagi and one crab. However, I was charged $4.50 for the unagi eel and $4.30 for the unagi onigiri, so go figure. I could not detect a difference between the two, and the price of each averaged out to $4.40, so it's whatever. I unwrapped one of the unagi onigiris to eat in-store as we waited for a Zoox to arrive. It was actually pretty difficult to extricate the seaweed and rice ball filling in one piece to consume together, which I presume is because the onigiris are each made-to-order and due to the freshness, the separate ingredients haven't had a chance to marinate and congeal together. As I had not eaten all day, I quickly devoured the onigiris before and after our short ride back to a café where some of our other friends were waiting. The onigiris were, as I mentioned before, pretty standard minus the fact they kind of fell apart. I would say if you like onigiris, then these will get the job done, but they're nothing exceptional, so keep your standards at baseline.

Even before this most recent visit, I'd enjoyed intimate dinners here for its creative, Korean-Thai-inspired menu that always packed an impressive punch of flavor but, dare I say, the brunch might be even better. The steak sandwich was absolutely phenomenal, with the steak seasoned and cooked to perfection and pairing beautifully with the charred onion aioli, plus a side of expertly crisped smashed potatoes that were so addicting. The steamed mussels were sumptuous and packed with umami, and I loved the two large bricks of toasted sourdough focaccia that were perfect for sopping up every last bit of the delicious dashi broth. But the pièce de résistance was the custard French toast, which I can only describe as the love child of bread pudding and tres leches cake as it was crispy on the outside but uber moist on the inside, custardy, and simply divine. Kothai will be deeply missed in the neighborhood, but I'm excited to see what's next for chef/owner Sung Park and will be first in line for whatever future project comes next.

Not the best I've ever had but certainly among the best. The only thing I will say is that one of my companions can't have seaweed. The wonton soup was amazing but full of seaweed. It wasn't listed on the menu and we have never had seaweed in any other wonton soup so didn't know to ask if it could be left out. That was sad. All she could do was have a tiny spoon of the broth to taste it. The green onion pancake was very good. The red bean paste pockets use the same dough but filled with sweet red bean paste. They were a perfect way to end the meal. Next time I'm in the city I will visit again. Loved it all. It was worth taking the time to visit and eat there.

    Dumpling Story is what I've heard to be Dumpling Home's aesthetic counterpart (sister restaurants)…read more The interior is definitely aesthetic, featuring a bright, modern, minimalist exterior. Menu is relatively the same as Dumpling Home featuring my faves like the numb and spicy XLB and the sheng jian bao. Both very delicious! The remainder of the dishes we got were also good. I will say the green beans left me wanting a bit more from it. But overall, my party had a nice, fulfilling meal. Dumpling Home will always be my favorite (still prefer it a TINY bit), but because there is less of a crowd, service was amazing! I definitely wouldn't mind coming back considering there the difference in wait time to Dumpling Home.
