I've been here twice with large groups, the round table in the window seats 9 comfortably. Food and service were excellent both times. I like that they have a full bar and drink prices are reasonable. My favorite dish is the honey walnut prawns. read more

This place has gone way downhill, im sad to say! The person who took my order was friendly but the food was not good. I barely ate any.

We were on a stopover for Amtrak and needed somewhere to get a nice meal before our 20 hour train. Customer service was amazing. The food came out quickly and tasted amazing. We had the Wor Wonton Soup and Honey Walnut Prawns with a side of rice. We ate everything as quickly as we could but still wanted more. They were still very accommodating even though we did see that they were in the process of closing. Would stop by again!!! read more

I had a large order Friday for a birthday party. I ordered 4 orders of pot stickers and one of the orders was burnt. The pork fried rice , 2 orders, didn't have any pork or egg and very little vegetables and No flavor. The kung pao shrimp had no kung pao spice and the shrimp was over cooked like little rocks. When I called the manager on Monday she said she could not do anything about it because they require the complaints to be done the same day! I was totally shocked and will not order or recommend them again. read more

New owners but still delicious and better than everything else in the area. Their orange chicken is the best I've had. Super crispy and flavorful. The server was very sweet too. I will definitely be coming back. read more

I ordered online. My food was available on time, they were super polite & really focused on making sure the experience was good. The food was fresh! read more

We wondered about a Chinese restaurant serving sushi but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. I wish we hadn't. We got sushi and potstickers for takeout. Sushi rice was dry. Potstickers were dry and flavorless. Their potsticker sauce was made with sriracha, which I have never encountered before and was not good at all. We actually worried that we might be sick from the food. We saw later that they have several health code violations. Won't be back. read more

First time today and the food is absolutely amazing. It's our new go to for excellent Chinese food.

This is the best Chinese food in Martinez! Super fresh and tasty, not doused in MSG. They're quick and located close to the Marina. Our go tos are veggie fried rice, chicken chow mein, Szechuan chicken, spring rolls, fried wontons, and sometimes we will get the general chicken. All very delish! read more

We dined her as a celebration of my Niece's Catholic Confirmation. Egg rolls, pot stickers and sizzling rice soup as our appetizers. The egg rolls came cut in half with a sweet and sour sauce on the side, these were vegetable rolls and were not too oily from being fried. I enjoyed the pot stickers, they were large in size. I would love to have had a little more filling in the pot sticker, but I can say I would definitely love to have it again. The sizzling rice soup was ah-mazing. The broth was flavorful and not at all salty. The rice was perfectly toasted and I loved the little cubed pieces of zucchini. I don't eat shrimp so when I bumped into a tiny piece of shrimp I just put it on the side of my plate and kept eating. We chose an item from each group and I had everything but the shrimp dish. Mongolian beef- this was very good, not too spicy but had a bite and it had thinly sliced white onions and green onions. Chicken with 2 kinds of mushrooms - I love mushrooms so I really enjoyed this dish. This dish had a lot of chicken and a light garlic glaze. So tasty. BBQ beef chow mein - green onions, sliced bbq beef, strips of cabbage. This was good and even a small serving fills you up. House fried rice - you can't really mess up rice in my book, unless it is served still raw. So this was enjoyable as well. First time trying this restaurant and it won't be the last. The prices were reasonable and the bill was $160 with food and even alcoholic drinks. What a bargain. read more

Food was delicious. Service was great. The waitress was super nice. Food was nice and hot

The new waiter was a joy. he was polite, he smiles and the food is good also. We complimented him on and knew our names. We will be back and give this fine establishment our business. AND, the fish tank is full of water. read more

Just drove from Benicia as a NextDoor review recommended. Terrible. Soup came well after entrees. Sizzling Rice soup did not sizzle as it was lukewarm, and waitress was splashing it around with the ladle so much that it was all over the bowls, the table, etc.... Potstickers also came after entree and were refrigerator cold. Sent them back. One entree never came out. Cancelled entree that hadn't come after we'd finished other entrees, and when bill came we still hadn't gotten potstickers back. Of course it was all on the bill including entree never brought over and potstickers never returned. We pointed that out and potstickers were brought in to-go container, still cold. No apology offered, and once we brought up issues server disappeared only returning to drop off bill without a word, no eye contact. Won't be back. read more

Absolute trash. Terrible since a change in ownership. Gross chicken. Gross egg rolls. Gross rice. Yelling at each other when told the food was nasty. First to the kitchen then at the front of house. How embarrassing. Saturday night and your restaurant is completely empty. That is telling for sure. read more

What's with the fish tank. On our last visit two days ago there was about 5 inches of water in the tank and five large fish gasping for space. now, some of food when delivered ended up on the floor by the waitress. Sloppy delivery and when we were leaving a line of patrons who were there for takeout mentioned they that their orders were not correct. The glory days of LeBeau's and Mike and Sandy's sunflower restaurant has gone by. May this restaurant rest in peace. read more

I loved this place but the new menu is not the same at all. We loved the orange chicken from before. It was so fresh, crispy, and loved the real orange garnish and flavor. We ordered last night and the chicken tasted soggy, bland, and somehow kind of fishy? Did not meet our expectations. The egg rolls tasted cheap. A total waste of $30 and won't be coming back read more

I rediscovered this long time Martinez restaurant over a year ago and was very impressed. I started recommending it to all my friends. Unfortunately, the owner (cook?) retired early this year. The place was sold. We have had three meals there since the ownership changed and I must report how every single dish has been totally run of the mill at best. This place and the good service was unique. I am sad to say that is no longer true about the cuisine. read more

First time coming back since the new owners and still very good. Vegetables still very fresh and good portions. Best lunch deal in town. Starting at $12 for kung pao chicken, fried rice, and soup. Fast food places can't even beat that. read more

Great food. New ownership but they kept the same recipes. Really nice sushi bar! Please support this local business.

I will not be going back. Their lunch specials are a joke. The "fried rice" is not fried it's just steamed rice with soy sauce. The Kung Pao Chicken wasn't good and it had very little chicken. The service wasn't much better. If you want Chinese food I recommend going somewhere else. read more

This review is for back in April 2022. Had lunch with some friends and the food was bland. Overpriced because the portions are very small. I ordered the Happy Family and it was $14.00. Had fried rice with my lunch order and the fried rice tasted like rice pilaf and not much flavor. Not sure if I'll return. read more

I LOVE this restaurant. Being gluten free for over a decade, I had not been able to have Chinese food until I discovered they have many GF options here! The honey walnut shrimp is so delicious, even my picky seven year old loves it! I just wish they had gf soup as an option to go with meals instead of having to order the huge bowl. I crave their food now and look forward to going back soon! The service is always very friendly and fast. read more

I have been eating at Sunflower Garden for over 20 years and unfortunately it is no longer a restaurant I can recommend. Sandy and her husband have retired and it is no longer the same. I went there for lunch yesterday and yes, the people were nice and friendly but the food taste and quality just isn't there. I honestly felt like I was being served low quality buffet food. I am sad to say that yesterday was the last time I've eaten at Sunflower Garden. read more

This place went WAY UNDER. Anyone that knows real Chinese food would never eat here. New owner doesn't want to invest any money confirmed by waiter. He divulged enough. It's super dirty! The food is not good. The ingredients aren't fresh. I got sick eating here. If you want great Chinese go to Aberdeen around the block on main. New owners. So nice. Super clean. Excellent food! But this place is gross now! read more

Sad new owners have already changed the rice. We drive from Concord to Martinez for that rice alone. If we wanted fried rice with pieces of pork we can get that in Concord. We tried the sweet and sour chicken and Mongolian beef and they were good. Bartender doesn't know wine and they haven't stocked the bar. Please look on your websites pictures and duplicate the rice. If not you might loose customers read more

Food was so good , the only thing is that a few of the entrees seemed like they were not cooked fresh to order. Maybe they has them sitting before serving. Wonton soup is good. Wish egg rolls were bigger but they are so tasty read more

Sunflower Garden - Chinese Near Me - Martinez, California

Hands down the best Chinese food I have EVER had. We had the beef dinner for three and it was amazing. EVERYTHING was above average from the PERFECTLY cooked crab rangoons and the won ton soup to the beef broccoli dish, sweet and sour chicken and EVERYTHING else included in that meal was sumptuous! Service is 5 star quick and polite. I recommend this place for SURE read more

Food is fresh and delicious. Ordered the wor won ton soup, beef broccoli, chicken fried rice and walnut prawns and Walnut prawns were perfectly breaded. Will definitely be back! read more

Best Chinese food I've ever had. Right when we walked in we were greeted and the amazing service continued throughout our meal. The food was outstanding especially the pork chow mein and the szechuan chicken. Hard to tell which is better the amazing service or the unbelievable food. Couldn't ask for anything else from our experience, we will definitely be back. read more

Sunflower Garden - Sweet & Pungent Shrimp/Combo appetizer/Pork chow mein - Chinese Near Me - Martinez, California

Seated 8 of us promptly large round table. Drinks and appetizers came out in pretty good time. We ordered dinner just before appetizers arrived. The lazy Susan on the table really helped with food that was placed down. We ordered a la carte there were no complaints with any of the food. Drink refills and attention to our table was on point. I'll definitely go back. read more

ZERO stars. Absolutely horrible. The potstickers are dripping in oil, the chicken is under cooked, the rice is mushy, and the Mongolian beef tastes like dirty water. There is not one edible thing in my order. $60 down the drain. read more

Usually love this place as it's been our go to. I had high hopes for the new ownership, but I have been disappointed. I ordered shrimp fried rice... it didn't come. Crab Rangoon was under cooked, egg rolls were soggy in the middle due to be undercooked. The General Tso chicken now comes in big chunks, making them mushy and soggy. Pot stickers were cold in the middle. Mongolian beef and chicken chow main was good, but not like it used to be. With the price point being the same as the previous owners but the quality lacking in several dishes, I can't say we will be back. read more

Let's talk about those pot stickers. They are absolutely delicious! The flavors just burst in your mouth, and the crispy wrapper adds the perfect touch. Sunflower Garden also has other tasty specialties worth trying. If you like a bit of heat, go for the Green Bean chicken, or if you prefer vegetarian options, the Tofu with Vegetables is not only mouthwatering but affordable. The atmosphere at Sunflower Garden is cozy, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The dishes are presented beautifully, and you can tell they take pride in their food. Overall the pot stickers and other dishes are fantastic, the service is great, and it's an all-around wonderful experience. I can't wait to go back! read more

Came here for a birthday lunch celebration for work and I'm glad this place was chosen. After reading the reviews before coming here I saw they had new owners so of course I was very hesitant about how the food was going to be with all the 1 star reviews recently posted. When we walked in for lunch I have to admit it was freezing cold in the restaurant but the server was nice enough to turn the heater on and blast it since it was chilly in there. We ordered a bunch of food as family style from the won ton soup, crab won ton's, egg rolls, pot stickers, beef and broccoli, honey walnut shrimp, peppered shrimp, fried rice, chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, kung pao shrimp & a fried fish entree. After we ordered everything each item came out one by one and super hot as you can tell it was just made! I can honestly say my coworkers and I devoured everything up as it was so delicious! I even loved how they packed up our food for us instead of just handing us boxes to pack our selves. I would definitely recommend this place for lunch or dinner if in the area. read more

Hope to be fair. Here's the summary for our recent take out order: 1. Ordered Beef Chow Fun: Got Beef Chow Mein, instead, which was tasteless 2. Sweet and Sour Chicken: Generous portion, cooked well, good flavor-best dish by far 3. Pot Stickers: prepared well, flavor fair to good 4. King Pao Shrimp: worst dish by far. Sweetened for some reason and watery 5. Pork Fried Rice: nice portion size and flavor was good 6. Ordered Fried Tofu and Vegs: Got soft tofu and vegs. Watery and over cooked, no flavor. I'm afraid that we will not be returning to this restaurant. I hope the feedback helps. read more

This place is fire! They have the best pot stickers and spring rolls around! Super fresh and amazing sauces! The staff is so nice too! I highly recommend sunflower garden. read more

We live in Martinez and often eat at this restaurant. And it's usually pretty good. Today, I brought two of my friends from out of town for lunch. I raved about how good the place was a little too soon. We arrived at 11:35 ate lunch and at 12:30 were asked to leave our table, that there was a one hour limit and people waiting to be seated. I was shocked and embarrassed.. And frankly, felt discriminated against. There were other people one party with two dogs that were never told to leave and they were there when we arrived... I complained to the manager and she was no help.. Just stated that it was their policy.. If that's their policy, it should be posted! A terrible experience!!! Beware! read more

I am very particular when it comes to Chinese food. I only eat in one place and that is in SF, but this place is awesome. The food is so delicious. I have two places now to go eat. Portions are very big too. Chicken fried is my favorite. read more
