My boyfriend and I have been going to events in Northern Virginia, and after a long absence, we…read morestopped at Sunflower to get a meal. (Really, when I checked in on Swarm, it had been 13 years since my last visit. Now we're going every month or so.) While I noticed some updating--there's more wood paneling, and the menu is sleeker, for lack of a better word--the restaurant still has a warm, friendly vibe with sunflower imagery throughout. The menu is a twist on Asian food, with plenty of analogues, chunks of soy and/or wheat protein, and some vegetables. It's not all vegan--a few dishes have dairy and/or honey, and I suspect one of the noodle dishes uses egg noodles--but those items are clearly marked. We were last there on Thanksgiving and tried a few new things. The veggie kabob reminded me a bit of the kabob at the late, lamented Harmony Cafe in Georgetown. Sure, I'll get that again. I'm not so sure about the mushroom dish. I do love mushrooms, but perhaps this isn't the way to go about it. On prior visits, we've gone with old familiars. The fried "chicken" appetizer (chunks of soy protein and mushrooms fried and served with a spicy ketchup) are a classic. I am still trying to find my go-to entree. Maybe the Crispy Happiness (chunks of soy protein and shredded vegetables cooked mild)? It's a bit far from DC, but it is worth the trip.

Since I have a pretty low spice tolerance, I was a little nervous ordering dishes like Mapo Tofu and Spicy Work Wontons. However, the kiosk ordering system made it easy, and we were able to request everything to be prepared mild. Both dishes were so delicious! The service here is quick and friendly. A worker even brough water directly to our table, which was so thoughtful. The restaurant has plenty of indoor seating if you want to dine in. I noticed a steady of stream of people coming in for takeout orders.

We ordered the egg drop soup, crispy beef (perfect texture with sweet sauce), and shrimp fried rice (so filling and delicious)! We will surely be back when we're in town, and can't wait to try their noodle dishes and wontons. Super delicious spot for takeout or sit down dining.

Only thing I could complain about is the fried egg, but nowhere really gets that right so I tend to take my meal home and fry my own egg. Runny yolk is a must.

Top-tip: ask for just a little heat/spice to be added to the soup when you order. Service is awesome and conversational. Ask for Joe, who will likely be behind the bar. I also recommend sitting at the bar if it's just you or you're a friend. The bar has a more social vibe. Parking, this is downtown City of Fairfax, so parking is plentiful, and while in the neighborhood, checkout the City of Fairfax Regional Library; it's fantastic.

I was looking forward to this place after hearing about it and I finally got to try it…read more First off, it's in downtown Fairfax so parking is a little hard to find but they technically have a small lot in the back you can park at. We walked in and the service was very friendly which was nice. The menu items looked promising so we ordered a couple of dishes but I have to say the price to proportion was not the best. The food was okay and the portion for the food was so much smaller than somewhere with the same dish and pricing. I got the beef noodle soup and it was pretty small but tasted pretty good.

Our bellies definitely weren't big enough to try more, but everything we had was delicious. There's plenty of space inside, which I loved, and the bathrooms were clean.
