    Fried Fish
    Lucin Y.

    This place is a core memory for my childhood. My family and I have gone to this restaurant for years! Their Munster green chicken soup and water crest soup is delightful. The salted crispy shrimp is one of my favorites, along with the hunan chicken or black peppered steak. My dad always gets the fried fish and has been his favorite from over the decades. Their lobster was really good too. No matter how many times I come here, it never disappoints!

    They have dim sum (There aren't many in this area) and that kept them busy this past Sunday morning... The bad: 1) Dirty glasses 2) server yelled at another customer (not us) for asking for water. Screamed, "can't you see we are busy! Not just in here but people waiting outside." The guy only asked for water... 3) the cashier was rude to me for trying to use Apple Pay and kept pushing my phone away as I was trying to do my Face ID. I ended up paying with a credit card. D The good: 1) did I mention it's got dim sum and I guess you have to put up with it 2) the food was hot and came out fresh 3) their system was efficient for getting food out but not if you want to order more. They did seem to struggle with all their sheets. 4) they had tofu fa but it wasn't as good as last time we were here. Bland. Overall, it was fine. We will come back for the food. I'm big on service. A mediocre meal can be made great by service or a great food can really leave a "sour taste" on the way out.

    Hubby and I met a friend here for lunch. My friend and I shared four-delicious dim sum's. Fried turnips, sticky rice filled with pork and shrimp, something that was stuffed in a banana leaf and one other dish. Each one was full of flavor and delicious! Hubby had chicken and broccoli with brown rice and hot and sour soup. He enjoyed his meal and actually had leftovers to eat later! Looking forward to going back soon.

    ONLY CANTO AND DIM SUM PLACE IN COLUMBUS APPROVE BY ME, A CANTONESE CHINESE. GO HERE. PLEASE. ITS SO GOOD. pre-covid review- indoors, weekend, early morning so not really anyone. so this place is definitely AUTHENTIC. the chowfun and dimsum, the cantonese speaking waiters, it's as authentic as one can get my DUDES. LIKE WHERE ARE YOU GONNA GET TRIPE AND HAGOW? IN THE MIDDLE OF OHIO? as a canto chinese, this flavor just tastes right. it's as dim sum and yum cha as you can get. i love this place and wished i could have supported it more. so please. if you want that chinese high tea experience, go here and eat your heart out. HECK IF YOU JUST WANT CHINESE FOOD. COME HERE. it looks like they do dinner so it also probably a vibe. i know it.

    Dim Sum

    Great dim sum! My go-to order: - shu mai - cha shui bun - chive dumpling - sticky rice dumpling - egg tart - egg custard bun Make sure to use the chili oil and soy jalapeño sauces!

    Came here for lunch on a Saturday. They had a decent crowd. Service was pretty fast and they had a nice lunch menu to choose from that came with a soup or egg roll and a main entree. I had the eggplant dish and my mom had the Wor su Gai. I had the hot and sour soup, which was fine, but not my favorite I've had. The eggplant and chicken dishes were pretty good.

    was excited to try some dim sum at this place! all in all, the dim sum was pretty good. i believe they make all of their dim sum fresh, so they were steaming hot when they came. my favorites were the lotus buns and egg tarts. they were SO GOOD. however, the other food was a little bland. we ordered kung pao chicken and spicy fried tofu, and they lacked flavor in my opinion and were not spicy at all. they did come super quick though, while the dim sum took a bit longer. so you win some you lose some i guess? the service was pretty good. i don't have much to say about the ambiance, because we came at a time that wasn't super busy. i can imagine it being chaotic when it's busier though lol. overall, i'd recommend getting the dim sum because it was really good, especially for the price. however, it will probably take a bit.

    They serve both dim sum and regular meals. I came here on Sunday for the dim sum, and honestly I was disappointed. The experience was so-so and overall the food tasted quite plain. However, I did enjoy the "Chinese Sausage Hot Pot Rice". It is made to order and takes about 45 minutes. The rice texture was good, and was soaked in mushroom and sausage flavors.

    Ask the Community - Sunflower Chinese Restaurant

    Anyone know if they are doing cart service on weekends? I know a few places stopped because of covid.

    No carts at this moment. You can order thru the menu if you are interested with dimsum.

    Do they have the Dim Sum cart in the evening on the weekends or is it only for lunch?

    The cart is only on the weekend (both Saturday and Sunday) for lunch. However, you can order off the dim sum menu anytime.

    I arrived at noon and the parking lot was already pretty full for this very unassuming Chinese…read morerestaurant from the outside. There is plenty of free parking which is nice. When I walked in the atmosphere was great, I could smell good food and heard conversations. There's a large area with large round tables to right and to the left are booths and almost all of them were full. The menu was a mix of Americanized Chinese, traditional Chinese and included Dim Sum as well. There were a number of dishes we didn't know much about and there were dishes being enjoyed by other customers that looked delicious. The wait staff was more than happy to explain the dishes and/or show us on the menu what someone was eating. They took very good care of us and shared the tasks of bringing our food, filling water, and just checking in. Now the food. The food came out very quickly! We all received a well filled bowl of rice. First out was the string beans, perfectly cooked, not droopy, and the flavors of garlic and hot peppers. Even though the peppers were there the heat was not overpowering at all. Next was the shredded pork with garlic sauce. The textures of the pork and bamboo shoots were a nice contrast and the sauce was perfectly balanced and craveable. The special grilled lamb, I was told, was some of the best in the city. It was tender and well spiced. Even when he said he was full he just couldn't stop eating it. For the dim sum order we got the shrimp dumplings, soup dumplings, scallion pancake, and sesame balls and they brought a soy sauce and a chili oil with them. The shrimp dumplings were tender but the dough was pretty sticky. I think this is normal and they were tasty with some of the oil on them. The scallion pancakes were very thin and gummy, this is the only thing we ordered that I would not get again. The soup dumplings were very small but packed a lot of flavor. The dough did stick together a bit so unfortunately some of the soup did leak out. The sesame balls were the hit and we're just the right amount of sweetness that we considered them desert. They were large, at least 2" in size, with a wonderful sesame seed covered exterior and a soft, sweet center. Chuan Jiang Hao Zi is a wonderful somewhat hidden gem. If you want traditional Chinese cuisine including all the different offal they have it and I would totally try it here over anyone else if I was brave enough. Portions were a good size for the price. I highly recommend checking them out!

(Wasn't feeling to adventurous this trip) The restaurant was well decorated & the staff took great care of us.

    It's been a little while since my last Chilispot visit and I'm happy to report it's just as good!…read more We came on a Friday early dinner and it wasn't busy at all - zero wait to be seated and very quiet. We were greeted and seated quickly and service was very friendly. As we were hungry, we took a mi Ute to decide what to order. We had planned on storm fish, but made a last minute decision to Sichuan sliced beef (we loveeee a numbing pepper!) with starts of egg roll and spicy wontons. Seriously those wontons are one of the best things in the whole city. They're SO good I could eat a few orders of those alone and be happy. Egg rolls are nice, but just a simple egg roll. Nicely crispy and tasty with the spicy mustard. The Sichuan sliced beef was the perfect thing for a chilly rainy dinner. We love spicy so I'm a bad judge of heat level, but this is spicy but a numbing spicy. Lovely spooned over steamed rice. The cabbage and bean sprouts were my favorite bits in this dish because they added a crunch. Might ask for extra next time!

There are 10 booths that line the wall and 10 tables down the center. The seats are very comfortable.

One person at my table wanted to exchange rice for noodles but she didn't seem to understand. The food was very good but a bit expensive but worth it. Because they give you plenty. We had to take some home with us. I would go back to Chilispot they did a great job in service and in taste.

Plus, I figured hibachi can take awhile, and I usually don't have a long time for lunch. Today I had a little more time, and I made a point to head over. It is a bit out of the commercial sprawl at the corner. Look for the food truck, that's the first thing I saw, and it helped me find where to turn in. I wasn't sure if there would be dine in, but there is, plenty of seating inside and out. Inside there are seats at the counter, plus booths, plus I think a couple tables. Menu is pretty basic: hibachi and a few sides. I got steak and chicken, with fried rice, and you pick two vegetables so I picked cabbage and bean sprouts. You get a Yum Yum sauce, and you can add others, but I didn't need them. And the sauce container they gave me was plenty big. The steak was tender and perfectly cooked, the chicken was tender and flavorful, cooked in a nice sauce. The fried rice was great. The vegetables were perfectly cooked. And it all came out in about five minutes. They had a steady stream of carry out customers, but they still got mine on the grill, apparently as soon as I ordered it. Fast and good, and competitively priced for hibachi. A big portion, but not a huge, two days' worth of leftovers portion. But I was stuffed and couldn't finish it all. When I saw the drink cooler with just water and a few juices, I figured I'd have to go with those, but they do have fountain drinks. And they actually have a pretty good variety, cola, diet cola, cream soda, blueberry, cherry I think, and a few others. Anyway, several pleasant surprises, the food lived up to its reputation, I was in and out fast, and for not a whole lot of money in this day and age. I will be back.
