My husband and I went to lunch today at Sunflower Cafe (our happy place). He enjoyed a steak and fried rice Bento box and I ordered sushi. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will return again. Every visit is delightful regardless of where we sit. Really good food! read more

Small restaurant that pack a huge punch. The food here is absolutely amazing. From hibachi to sushi you really can't go wrong. My favorite is the cowboy roll. Trust me, it's delicious! read more

Whenever my family wants great quality sushi and Japanese food Sunflower cafe is our go to! We have been coming here for several years since its opening. We have dined in and done pick up orders. The food leaves you craving more the next day. The staff is welcoming and always very kind. It has the ambiance of a "hole in the wall", family owned restaurant. Even when it is crowded (as it deserves to be) the seating and lighting feels private and comforting. The food is great a quality and reasonably priced. read more

I had the lobster dynamite roll and electric eel roll. Both were AMAZING! The service was also on point... very friendly and quick.

This is my go-to sushi place in the Valrico area! They have a huge selection of sushi and everything I've tried is absolutely delicious. I've always had great service and the prices are very fair for the quality. The place is small and can get busy especially in the evenings and on weekends but the atmosphere is inviting and they have a mix of booths, tables, and a sushi bar you can sit at. I often get sushi to go and they do a great job with to-go orders as well. Highly recommend others try this place out!! read more

Excellent customer service and great tasting! Takeout is just as beautiful as sitting in the restaurant. Must try!!

Service and atmosphere were on point. I will say that the biggest complaint I have is with the sushi. The most important thing about sushi is the rice that they use. The rice was overcooked and very soft. The grains are large, and it overtakes the taste of the sushi because it all tastes like mush once you finish eating. read more

Fast service , Small and intimate space. Food is fresh and delicious excellent ! Lots of options and specials on menu! Love this place. read more

Delicious! Best sushi in Tampa Bay. Only drawback is it's small (like all sushi places) and there's usually a moderate wait for food and seating. But don't let that discourage you...it's 100% worth it! read more

Great local sushi and Japanese! Place is always full so you may have to wait but so worth it. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Had the sushi burger (special) sashimi salad (special) and hibachi. Sushi burger was spot on. 2 huge sushi patties deep fried with eel sauce and spicy mayo. Crab, avocado and cucumber inside. Very good. Sashimi salad had several types of fresh sushi over a seaweed salad. Great option if you want something without rice. Wish these specials would make the menu. Hibachi was good. Kids had chicken. Comes with soup and salad. Very filling. Seasoned well. This is a great local restaurant that has been here a long time. Always smiling faces and full bellies. read more

Came here with the family. They love this place and wanted to share. Came in and the place was pretty packed. When originally arriving you'd never thing that this little place was a sushi place. The way it looks from the outside and the name makes it appear more like a healthy sandwich place or vegan place. Don't be fooled by the name. Go in and take in this amazingness!! Originally said it'd be a long wait given we were a party of 7 but my BIL went in and helped arrange two high top tables that would fit our party. Our waitress was amazing! She was attentive and so friendly. She even brought extra of the spicy mayo. I ordered the spring rolls and King Kong roll. The spring rolls I thought would only have 2 but it came with 6!! They were so good. Hubs got the egg rolls and those were quite yummy too. My King Kong roll was delicious! The pieces were so big I had to bite in half lol. Definitely recommend. read more

This is one of my top favorite places to get Japanese food!!! Their sushi quality is good and they offer sushi that not everyone has like uni and toro. I had my first taste of toro (tuna belly) which is scrumptious! I've loved all the hot plate entrees and sushi I've ordered. The only thing I'll say is sometimes it isn't consistent. My bf and I loved the Santa Roll so much we went back to order it but it wasn't quite the same the following time. The staff are friendly and service is good. I wish they were a bit closer but it's definitely a treat to dine here. read more

I can't say enough great things about sunflower Café it's located in the heart of the Bloomingdale community in Valrico. It's a small place.

Went here for lunch last week, and really enjoyed the meal! My husband and I were looking for a place to have some Japanese curry, one of our favorite dishes. So my husband found this place and we decided to give it a go. It's a small but welcoming restaurant, with a lot of attention paid to the quality of their food. We didn't see the curry on the lunch menu, and asked our waiter, and were told that we can still order it (yusss) We got an appetizer of gyoza, pan seared. They were cooked perfectly and they give you SIX per order, unlike a lot of places that only serve 5 This restaurant was busy even during lunch, which was a very good sign. I would suggest giving this place a try, I will be back to give the tonkotsu ramen a try read more

I love the food here and how fast you get everything. The service is so amazing and all the servers are so nice. The sushi and hibachi are definitely my favorite. It is also very clean and put together inside. - Blair Espey read more

MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE HISTORY OF MY LIFE!! I mean, my family and I have been eating here since the opening of their original restaurant down in Riverview- Tokyo- YEARS ago! It's my FAVORITE hibachi food HANDS DOWN! The BEST yum-yum sauce HANDS DOWN in my personal opinion. Both ginger sauces- for steak and the salad dressing- are actually BOMB! Soup - AMAZING AND FLAVORFUL Salad- FRESH AND YUMMY. EVEN THEIR NOODLLLEESSS Food AMAZING. Everything we've tried on this menu is a 10/10! I mean if I could give more than 5 stars, I would. The service is TOP! Our family has come to know many of their Servers past and present and they are just so kind and welcoming and it's like we have formed relationships just through eating at this restaurant. The owner is absolutely so sweet and LEGITIMATELY ONE OF THE HARDEST WORKERS OUT THERE The space is welcoming and quant and just makes me happy when I take my step in :) I have brought people from different stages of my life here to eat and take part of some of my childhood. I still have a vivid memory when I realized not all yum yum sauces were equal to Sunflowers. We had traveled to my home country Venezuela and went to eat some hibachi with our family to find out they didn't have yum yum sauce and didn't know what it was, I remember I cried the whole drive to our home down there missing Tokyo AKA Now Sunflower Cafe and then feeling so sad that that restaurant in Venezuela would never come to know fhe beauty of sunflower cafe on Lithia :,) . I mean, the owner of this restaurant is a huge part of my childhood, and still to this day, my family and I eat here! Sunflower cafe was never just a "restaurant" to us, but it is Family :) Anyways, I never thought I would write such a deep review for a restaurant on yelp in my life.. but here I am read more

We love visiting this little place for sushi. The staff is awesome, very friendly and accommodating. While the restaurant is quite small, it is always clean and fairly well organized. When my husband and I go on dates here, we love to sit at the sushi bar and watch the chefs create rolls. I love that they are constantly creating new rules based on the next upcoming holiday, and will custom make or alter any role on their menu make it exactly what you want. I've never had a bad role here, but I do recommend getting therebefore peak, lunch and dinner hours, as it gets busy fast. read more

Sunflower Cafe - a long sushi roll on a wooden platter - Sushi Bars Near Me - Valrico, Florida

Consistently excellent. Authentic sushi, sashimi, and Japanese dishes. Kuni and Tatsu the owners are great

Pros: server was very friendly and attentive. Presentation for all the food was good, 4 stars on that front. Cons: the sashimi deluxe- very very thick pieces made super difficult to chew and not high quality. Skip the sashimi, get rolls or hibachi or teriyaki instead read more

Consistently delicious every time, have been coming to sunflower over 5 years. I have a go to order. Service is always great as well, best sushi and hibachi and rice and noodles etc literally everything Ive had is delicious every time. Never disappoints. But does get full now because it's a small place so keep that in mind during busy times. read more

Food is good with a nice selection to choose from. Service is very good and friendly. I visit as often as I can.

Pro Price good for quality of food and comparing to other places is good. Cons we had to wait more than 45 for the food as it was full... read more

Such a go-to spot for good sushi and hibachi (not cooked at the table) in the area. Sushi is good and the hibachi is great too. It's a small place and it gets busy but the owners are always very friendly. Definitely recommend for a casual dinner. read more

Sunflower Cafe - Assorted sushi rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Valrico, Florida

Its been a minute since I've had a favorite sushi place and I think I have found one! We stumbled across Sunflower Cafe on New Years day by chance. We weren't looking for sushi or anything of the sort but fate insisted otherwise and I'm glad she did. The fries oysters are crisp and delicate. The Tako Yaki is delicious but the sesame balls are second to none! Warm, toasty, slightly sweet balls of perfection. The sushi is fresh, made to order, very balanced flavor and executed consistently on each visit. I've tried about 9 different rolls so far and have not been disappointed by any. Of course there are rolls I prefer but that is a matter of preference, not a reflection of the quality. My top 3rolls so far are, the Tata Roll and the Hana Lulu Roll and Energy Roll! read more

About 4.5 stars. Not yet true 5stars. Love the smiling face of store owner. The waitress may need some training. Our order was corrected by the owner of the restaurant while the waitress took the inconsistent order. This is local popular place to be. Many come here to dine in. If not the take out is a lot and busy. We started with yellow tail roll. It is simple and good. The best is the special of the day. They have high grade yellow and salmon crudo. The dish have 4 slice of yellowtail and 4 slice of salmon. It top with different masago and bed with seaweed salad. It was delicious. We also has the tempura udon. The tempura was big by it own with fried shrimp. The udon also good. The food experience win us there. I would suggest look for the special at the wall. That will be your best choice. read more

Possibly the best sushi in the Bloomingdale area. We order to go. The sushi is prepared and presented beautifully.

Service is great always. Food is amazing!! Everything is always fresh. Black Sea Roll is epic

This place is a hidden gem! Not only was the sushi delicious, everyone who works here is so sweet. The place is small and fills up quickly but our server was extremely attentive. I live in Tampa so it's a solid 35 minute drive for me but it's absolutely worth it when I have the time. My personal favorite is the Sunflower Boat! I must also mention their incredible drink deals.... They have lots of different sake, beer, and seltzer options at almost unheard of prices! read more
