    Imperial Rolls On Vermicelli - Bun Cha Gio
    Stephanie K.

    I love Vietnamese food for the fresh veggies and nutritious options whatever the flavor profile, and Sunflower has long been on my list. Lunch specials are available 11-3 on weekdays, but my Sunday serving of Bun (vermicelli noodles with fresh veggies, mint, peanuts, and grilled shrimp) topped with an Imperial Roll was delicious dining in, also excellent on the go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tables turn quickly, and atmosphere is nice enough for dates but casual enough to bring the whole family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Surely there's more to know and enjoy on a second visit!

    What an excellent choice for very authentic Vietnamese food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very well decorated and there are a lot of houseplants inside the space that add a lot of life to the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered our food to go and the very nice waitstaff helped us out with a huge ice water to drink while we waited. I ordered the Bun Rieu, the shrimp spring rolls and lemongrass chicken stir fry. Every item was very good. I found the broth for the Bun Rieu to be such an interesting and comforting combination of flavors. We would definitely return.

    I rarely leave negative reviews and I'm usually very forgiving with food, but this experience was disappointing enough that I felt I had to say something. One of our dishes was supposed to come with rice paper, but it didn't arrive until about 15 minutes after the meal -- by then we had already eaten it without making spring rolls because we didn't know. The tomato broth was extremely bland, the noodle dish had only one flat flavor profile, and the grilled meat was similarly boring. The catfish had almost no taste at all, and even the sauce meant to accompany it lacked flavor. Service made the experience worse. The woman who brought out my soup treated us like we were a nuisance rather than customers. Staff also started cleaning around us while we were still seated and chatting, even though there was no line and they weren't close to closing. It felt rushed and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, between the bland food and poor service, this isn't a place I'd return to.

    Beef Pho -  Pho Bo
    Amber L.

    We've always said Austin has some good pho and Sunflower makes no exception. Located at the end of a shopping area, Sunflower is a bit unassuming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's good parking outside and the inside is simple and down to Earth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a clean place with good service, very ideal for a quick pop in lunch, which is what we did.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We only ordered the beef pho but they have a wide array of things on the menu like stir fried noodles and fried rice. The beef pho was delicious with the signature clean tasting broth. Their broth here isn't as anise forward as many other places, which is actually nice because it feels clean and doesn't give the after taste that star anise can sometimes leave. The beef was tender and flavorful and the noodles had the perfect texture to them. This is probably in the top 3 of pho places we've had in Austin so far and we're pretty confident you'll feel the same way when you go and give them a shot!

    Bo Ne - steak and eggs
    Bee B.

    I ordered the steak and eggs (Bo Ne) and shrimp spring rolls. I'm not really sure of where else in Austin that I can get it at. Love the sizzling plate of steak/eggs being placed in front of me, and a plate of baguette with veggies. I love how they include the pate with my dish, so staying authentic. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fast service, and ample seating in the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No fuss and great place for Vietnamese food!

    Happy hour beer

    We love to have Vietnamese food and especially pho during the cold weather. The lemongrass and other spices really does wonders for your sinuses. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant is very beautifully decorated with lots of natural plants and sunflower wall art that create a welcoming and serene environment for dining here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The tofu vermicelli bowl was deliciously spicy with the tofu fried in chilli garlic oil and chicken pho broth was flavorful. The staff and our server were all friendly and attentive.

    Great Vietnamese restaurant with a variety of authentic Vietnamese food! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sunflower Cuisine is regularly packed with customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have an array of authentic Vietnamese food to choose from and never disappoints. I've had the Bo Ne (Steak and Eggs), Lemongrass Beef, and Five Spice Grilled Chicken Lunch Special here. All delicious! Friendly staff and great customer service. Definitely recommend!

    We came here on a Sunday afternoon and they had a full house. It's tucked away in a corner on the opposite side of the H-E-B. When you walk in, it's a pleasant atmosphere with tons of natural light. Someone greeted us quickly and had us sat. I got a lychee jasmine iced tea and it was barely sweet at all. It had three big lychees at the bottom and was refreshing but I was hoping for a bit more lychee flavor. We also got a Vietnamese coffee which was delicious!! For the food, we started with the wonton bombs which were tasty. Next, I ordered the Sunflower crepe because they were out of the pate they use for the Saigon steak & eggs. But, the sunflower crepe turned out to be a great option. It was nice and crispy and the vegetables were fresh. I make little lettuce wraps with bits of the crepe. My boyfriend got the shaken beef which was a bit disappointing. The presentation was beautiful but there was a big pool of sauce at the bottom which masked the flavor of everything including the rice, egg, and veggies. It was overwhelming and also too salty.

    In an effort to expand my palate I thought I try Vietnamese food today not too far from where I work. I was greeted by a welcoming hostess who told me I could sit anywhere I wanted. This was welcomed and appreciated. I chose a window seat so I watch was happening out side.., trees blowing, windchime turning and plants swaying from side to side. Now for the food...I choose a vermicelli bowl (Rice vermicelli noodle bowl topped with fresh herbs, shredded lettuce, cucumber, thinly sliced mint, pickled carrots, imperial rolls and topped with crushed peanuts). So yummy and vegetarian. I try to have a couple of non-meat days a week. Sunflower has a 4 page menu, so lots to select from. My food was served hot and rather quickly. I will definitely return.

    Enjoyed our memorable visit on the other side of town on the corner of McNeil Drive and Parmer. It's a little out of our way but good news is that we've been there two or three times. Their food is consistent and still very delicious. The staff is very friendly and hospitable. It's pretty cool when my wife is Vietnamese and she can order in a way that the staff understands her completely. Not just ordering the menu items, but her distinction of how the food differs from her expectations. Sometimes I feel it. It's a game to see if they understand how the food is prepared. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoy sitting down here at the restaurant because it's very clean and it doesn't smell like a wet mop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Some restaurants have that unpleasant odor. This one smells of good clean food. This is our usual spot when we're on this side of AUSTIN. I recommend coming out and giving it a try. Another thing to note is when you've seen restaurants filled with Asians. It usually means it's good with them, it's good for you.

    Egg Imperial Rolls - Cha Gio
    Christina H.

    If you're craving your Ba Ngoai's cooking, look no further. Going to a typical Vietnamese restaurant in Austin, you'll find the more mainstream dishes such as Pho, Com Thit Nuong, Egg Rolls, and maybe the occasional Bo Luc Lac, if they're feeling bold. However, at Sunflower Vietnamese Cuisine, they dig deep into their Vietnamese roots. You'll find heavy contenders such as Banh Xeo, Ca Kho To, Canh Chua, and dishes you'll only find at your Ba Ngoai's house. Note: Since the menu does lean towards more traditional meals, don't expect dishes such as the Ca Kho To to be clean of bones!

    Banh xèo was served with only 3 small green lettuce leaves. We need the large lettuce leaves to wrap and hold the banh xèo to dịp in fish sauce. There wasn't much pork and no yellow mung bean inside the banh xèo. Bún bowl portions were small

    Saigon Steak N Eggs - Bo Ne
    Vivian L.

    I have never tried the pho here but that's bc I don't come here for pho. The reason why I love this restaurant is bc they offer so many other traditional viet dishes that most viet restaurants here in Austin don't have. Things I've ordered time and time again: - Bo Ne (steak and eggs) - Banh hoi (fine vermicelli wrap with the minced shrimp on sugar cane) : this is a do it yourself spring roll dish. You can wrap everything with lettuce or rice paper. - Hu tieu dac biet (southern noodle soup): very similar to pho BUT this is PORK broth. Pho is a beef broth. Has quail egg, fish balls, shrimp, & sliced pork - Bun bo hue (kingdom noodle soup) - Bun rieu (crabmeat tomato noodle soup) - Ca kho to (catfish clay pot) : SPICY caramelized catfish in a clay pot served with rice. - Canh chau with fish (hot and sour soup): clear broth soup with catfish, tomato, and pineapple.

    Tofu Vegan Crepe - Banh Xeo Chay.  Ask for fish sauce cause I don't know what they were serving with this

The bowl itself came loaded with meat--they definitely weren't skimping to save money here. The meat-to-noodle ratio felt great, and every bite actually had substance instead of leaving me fishing around for toppings. As for the broth, I landed somewhere in the middle. It wasn't quite as clear or light as I personally prefer, leaning toward a fattier, milkier undertone that almost reminded me of a Vietnamese pho take on tonkotsu. The flavor itself was undeniably very good, but the richness may have been a bit too much for me personally. One way I usually judge how much I love a pho broth is whether I want to sip the bowl down to the very end, and this one wasn't quite light enough for me to want to do that. I've had richer and deeper pho flavors elsewhere, but I still appreciated the flavor profile here and could absolutely see why this place is so popular. It feels hearty, comforting, and satisfying in a way that clearly resonates with many people. Despite how packed the restaurant was, the atmosphere ended up being surprisingly pleasant. Service moved very quickly, which honestly impressed me given how busy everything felt. Even with the crowd, I didn't dislike the spacing or setup at all--the restaurant still felt comfortable, and the sound of people enjoying their food all around added to the lively, welcoming energy rather than making it feel overwhelming. Overall, Pho Phong Lưu ended up being one of those places where I completely understood the hype, even if it didn't become my personal favorite pho spot. While the broth leaned richer than my preference, I still enjoyed the experience and definitely look forward to trying other dishes next time.

Both broths were rich and flavorful. The portions were generous, and they definitely did not skimp on the meat. My Bun Bo Hue came with a beef rib that was tender and delicious. One unique thing was the noodles in the Sip pho bowl--they were slightly thicker than vermicelli, which was different but not a big deal. For drinks, I ordered the Matcha Green Thai Tea. It had an interesting flavor combination, but the matcha taste was a bit overpowered by the green Thai tea. It was still enjoyable, though slightly too floral and sweet for my personal preference. The prices were very reasonable, and they offered a great variety of pho, vermicelli bowls, rice dishes, and appetizers. Next time I visit, I'd love to try the egg rolls since I noticed many people ordering them. The only downside was parking. There are about six spots in front of the restaurant, with additional parking in the back. It was a little difficult to find a spot, likely because we visited on a weekend.
