I recently hosted a special event, and Chef Audi came to my home to prepare an incredible…read morefour‑course Mexican dinner for my guests, including thoughtful, delicious options for both vegan and lactose‑intolerant diners. Every dish was outstanding, with layers of flavor that came together beautifully. Chef Audi planned the entire menu in advance and even tested it the day before to ensure everything complemented each other perfectly. My guests raved about the food. And when the evening wrapped up, my kitchen looked exactly as it had before she arrived, spotless. If you want to treat your guests (and yourself) to something truly special, hire Chef Audi from Frederick Social. She'll handle the planning, cooking, serving, and cleanup so you can relax and actually enjoy your time with the people you invited.

Got the vegan black bean quesadilla and mixed berry muffin. At 99 cents each, the muffin is a great price. It looks and tastes homemade, and not as sweet and "cakey" as other commercial bakery muffins. It was moist with sweetness from mostly the blueberries and cranberries (nothing dried, all fresh). Loved it and will buy again. The quesadilla was made to go on a hot skillet. The tortilla was perfectly toasted and crispy. It was stuffed with vegan cheese, black beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and corn. The beans were seasoned well (chipotle) and the vegan cheese and veggies complemented perfectly. Came with also a side portion of spicy crema sauce which added a kick to the dish. Staff was polite, food is great! Will continue supporting these businesses!

Im sorry but the service and portion sizes have gone way down at this location. I've been coming to…read morethis place since it first opened over a decade ago. Back then the food quantity and the service were top notch-great service with a smile and good quantity portion size. Since then, everything has gone downhill and this place is hit or miss depending on who makes your food, not to mention that anything worth having or anything that is not a cheap item has been removed from the menu (ex: hearts of palm, and now even the popular jackfruit tacos!) Only the cheapest ingredients left behind such as beans, chickpeas, onions, cilantro so they can major profit more and more. The menu has become boring to everyone I know with no exciting new items but just the same old and taking away certain items that the customers love. (Other Moms locations I go to switch up their menus with yummy offerings that Ive never seen offered at this location) Their prices have also gone up quite a couple of times since before covid and on top of that their portion sizes have lessened by more than 50% and still they get stingy only at this location when scooping the scoops always shaking the spoon to lessen the portion of each scoop and still finding sneaky ways to raise the prices more or take away anything that might cost more. Ive also noticed they only hire Hispanics now which I don't care but they definitely do not give service with a smile and half the time they don't understand what you are asking for and get rude if you sub or ask for something that might require a change. I am Spanish so of course I understand the language and alot of times they talk bad or whisper to each other right in front of me when you are undecided or make changes to the menu items. In my opinion, a different manager is needed that values customer service as the current manager is rude and does not like when you ask for substitutions and very stingy as well with portion sizes. Back in the day if i wanted half a scoop of one topping and half of another on my tacos it was ok, not anymore. A lot of people who don't come here often rate good as a good lunch spot but when you come here consistency, you start to see the flaws and lack of service,

We live an hour away from Vienna but do not mind the…read moredrive because the food, the flavor, the atmosphere and the service are always amazing and consistent. The manager Douglas is very friendly and accommodating and recognizes us when we call to reserve a table. When we arrive he always has menus and waters on the table for us and he spends time talking and checking up on us while we enjoy our meal. My wife's go to dinner is the General Tso's Chik'n, I like to mix it up and try different things but our other favorites are the spinach wonton soup, the fantasy roll, the fried chik'n app, the veggie kabob app, the curry supreme and the colorful veggie lomein. My wife has been a customer for over 25 years and introduced me to the restaurant when we started dating and myself being primarily a meat and potatoes person I find the food at Sunflower surprisingly flavorful and high quality. If you're close to Vienna I strongly recommend Sunflower.

Updated Review (previously 5 stars) due to poor management response:…read more Management has changed since my last visit, and boy, this place is not what it used to be, and that makes me sad. About four years ago, I happily gave this restaurant 5 stars and recommended it to others. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was the complete opposite. During my meal, I discovered ANTS actively crawling around my food. (See video) It was disturbing to watch them around the sauce next to my meal, and I immediately stopped eating because I no longer felt comfortable consuming the rest of it. What disappointed me even more was how management handled the situation afterward. It was extremely difficult to get in touch with the manager despite multiple attempts. When I finally spoke with him, he refused to provide a refund because more than 30 days had passed since my visit. Given the nature of the complaint and the difficulty I had reaching management, I found that response completely unreasonable. I also raised concerns about being asked questions during my visit that made me feel racially stereotyped. Those concerns were never acknowledged or addressed by management, which only added to my disappointment. Because I believed this was a legitimate food safety issue, I filed a complaint with the Fairfax County Health Department. After investigating, the inspector informed me that they visited the restaurant, discussed my concerns with the manager, and that the manager confirmed my reported ant sightings. The Health Department also required additional pest control measures. Beyond the service issues, I also noticed a significant decline in the food. The wonton soup was bland and lacked the rich flavor I remembered, and the General Tso's Surprise tasted off and was missing the depth and spice that used to make it one of my favorite dishes. This restaurant used to be one of my favorite vegetarian spots, which is why writing this review is so disappointing. Based on my recent experience, the difficulty in getting in touch with management, and their total lack of customer service or care for loyal customers, I can't recommend dining here. They do not care about their customers based on how I was treated.

As we were walking back towards our hotel, we actually were passing here so I chose it for our din din spot. I thought for sure it was going to be packed but luckily it was not. I knew I wanted a burger but was struggling with choosing which one. Hubs knew he wanted the Cheesesteak and knew I wanted fries. I went with the Smokehouse burger. We grabbed a seat and did not wait long for our food to come out. I really enjoyed my burger and scarfed it down! I paid for sauces, which were tiny and super overpriced. Hubs enjoyed his cheesesteak but he prefers meat. I had a bite and thought it was really flavorful and very closely tasting like the real thing. I noticed later this is a chain, which is pretty cool. I think the prices were pretty steep so I might skip on the fries next time. The food could have been warmer as well. Definitely worth a visit and will most likely be back when in DC again.

I've been trying to eat heathier lately, so coming here was my choice due to their menu offering many healthy options. When I looked at their specials menu, I have to admit I was tempted to be bad, but they also offered a California Omelet (which is an egg white omelet) which had less than 500 calories and I went for it. It came out piping hot and looked AMAZING! I got their breakfast potatoes with it instead of the healthier options, like fruit or salad, knowing I might only eat one or two and sure enough, that's all I had was two pieces of potato. Quite frankly, the potato wasn't worth the calories. But the rye wheat toast was great, so I did indulge with that. But the omelet itself was excellent! Definitely would return!
