Sunflower - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the food was excellent, scoring a perfect 5, the overall experience was marred by significant issues. The website hours are incorrect, and they are unexpectedly closed every day between 3-5 PM. Furthermore, the staff were very rude, which detracted from the dining experience.

I absolutely love this restaurant; it's my favorite Vietnamese spot in the Bay Area. While I usually dine in, I ordered pickup by phone today and was pleasantly surprised that my food was ready in just 15 minutes. I enjoyed the sunflower prawn, beef fried noodles, and garlic noodles with chicken. The price and taste are hard to beat compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in SF. They also have another location at 16th Street Mission, next to Roxie Theater, which offers Vietnamese and Hawaiian food, but the dining area there is smaller than this one.

I will never come here again. This is the second time I have driven all the way there to find it closed. The hours posted don’t reflect their actual hours. Beware.

I visited this restaurant because Google Maps indicated it was open, but I was unfortunately kicked out by rude staff. My experience was that the food and service is not worth it. I would advise others not to go here unless you want to waste your time.

My experience at Sunflower Vietnamese Restaurant ON 16TH STREET! (NOT CONNETICUT!) was generally positive. The food was tasty…ish. While the house rice was a bit bland and tasteless initially, it became pretty good after adding some condiments and the shrimp. The shrimp was nice and fresh, though be aware they do still have the legs (not the eyes!). We ordered pick up and it was ready fairly quickly. The portions were quite big as well. All in all, it is a good choice of eatery if that’s the kind of food you are looking for! I will eat there again!

I don’t know how this place has anything less than a 5. 0 rating. The food is great, the service is direct, and the prices are reasonable.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was absolutely fantastic, delicious, and served in generous portions. However, the service was a significant letdown. The servers were unfriendly, and from the moment we arrived, we were made to feel rushed as they informed us of their closing time, implying we should hurry up and finish our meals.

My experience at Sunflower Vietnamese Restaurant was warm and welcoming, with some of the friendliest service around. While the dishes lean a bit more fusion than traditional, the flavors are still fresh and satisfying. If you appreciate creative takes on Vietnamese classics in a relaxed, inviting atmosphere, this is a great choice. Highly recommended!

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to the service. The woman who took my order had a significant attitude problem, especially when I was unsure about what to order. She was not very helpful, which negatively impacted my overall experience. While the atmosphere was rated highly, the food and service were rated very low.

My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, with most of the dishes being extremely delicious and well done. It truly serves as a good old staple Asian restaurant that every neighborhood should have. However, not all dishes here are created equal; the ones that are not good can be wildly different than what you expected. My only critique is that there are some dishes on the menu that should probably be removed or reworked.
