This place looks very unassuming, but it is an absolute gem. I went here with a group of friends. We ordered a number of items, and every single thing was absolutely delicious. Literally 10 out of 10. Very friendly staff too. Please note, this place is takeout only! But I promise you, it's worth it! read more

Great, fast Chinese food when you're in the neighborhood. This is primarily takeout only. Staff is nice and food comes out quick! read more

This was where the old JB garden used to be. I planned on eating in, only to find out they only do take out. I ordered the sweet and sour pork lunch special that came with a cup of soup. The soup was pretty basic to be honest. The pork dish was pretty good, though it wasn't what I was expecting out of a sweet and sour sauce. The pork was tender which is a plus. I will try their BBQ pork bun next time. read more

Really great food and nice family who works there. Great for take out if you have a lot of people to feed

Pretty solid lunch spot. Very large free parking lot outside of the restaurant. Take out only. FYI there is no indoor/outdoor tables at the restaurant. Food was made hot and fresh. Staff was very friendly and prompt. Lunch special prices were pretty comparable. Really good portions for the price. The chicken was pretty tasty. I'd come back here to try another lunch special. read more

Sunflower Garden - General Tso's lunch special - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Happneed on this place while taking my friend to Carkeek Park. Had about two hours to spend, before I had to pick her up. First impression is, this is a strong take out place. Lots of orders flying out. I wanted to eat in, so this was challenging. They did have a very small two seat bistro table out front, that I used to eat my order. This is very much a no frills place. You order and food comes to you packaged . It's good food, but service is limited. Had to start with seaweed wonton soup. A hearty broth, which is always welcome and fat wontons. A great start. Next was Dry Sakura Shrimp with Chinese Sausage Fried Rice. Sausage and shrimp made a memorable dish. Peking pork chops were great as were shrimp chow fun. The amount of dishes here are amazing. As small as this place is, they are putting out a variety of authentic dishes. Totally recommended for takeout, or eating outside at their small table. read more

***TAKE OUT ONLY. They do not ask about preferred spice level. Online ordering app is kind of finicky - recommend calling to order. Staff is very kind and helpful. It's a small shop that isn't set up for dine-in. Parking lot has a grocery store and a couple of other restaurants. Would order again: mapo tofu, general tso chicken The mapo tofu was tasty and had a thick consistency, and did not have an overpowering 5 spice flavor (my issue w mapo tofu in the past). It's a perfect addition to put over rice or noodles or even with bread. General tso chicken came in LARGE pieces. Because it's breaded, it didn't taste as good the next day but was delicious when fresh. Veggie chow main was about 70% veg and 30% noodle. I didn't like pork wontons; to me, the spicy sauce wasn't spicy at all and therefore had no flavor. With that said, they were good once I tossed them into the mayo tofu! ;) read more

The best pork fried rice I've ever had! The General Tsao chicken was so tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. read more

This place is some of the most amazing takeout I've found in Seattle! The pancakes, sesame chicken, beef chow fun were all absolutely excellent and above what you'd normally expect for takeout. This plus the friendly service makes me understand why people say so many great things about this otherwise unassuming takeout spot. The beef chow fun in particular had awesome texture - thick, chewy noodles and perfectly savory and richly flavorful beef stir fried with everything. Absolutely recommend for Chinese takeout! read more

When I saw pictures of the garlic chicken wings I didn't believe they were that crispy until I got them myself I was pretty shocked but they were piping hot and juicy on the inside. The restaurant is pretty small and no seating so expect to order takeout! The wings were really good but the breading was a bit much after eating a few. Still would recommend coming though. read more

This local treasure is sneakily the purveyor of some of the most satisfying Chinese food in the city. While it offers pretty much nothing in terms of ambiance (takeout only), the owners are very nice, make your food quickly, and their portions will make sure that you're stuffed and happy. My usual always consists of at least Beef Chow Fun and Garlic Chicken Wings. I love thick, chewy noodles and the chow fun here satisfies so deeply on texture, satiety, and flavor. The Garlic Chicken Wings are hard to describe, but it's one of my favorite comfort foods in the whole city. These wings are MASSIVE and heavily breaded. This may sound bad, but the fried crispiness of your first bites into each is just a crunch explosion that enhances the juicy, flavorful chicken perfectly. Give them a shot, and if you don't like it, send your uneaten wings to me. read more

Once again an amazing experience tonight for a busy Christmas Eve. Ordered a head of time on Sunday while the business was going on an onslaught of Christmas Eve orders. Popular now.

We were intrigued by the high reviews of Sunflower Garden so we decided to check it out. This place is in the Greenwood neighborhood at the end of a small strip mall. We ordered take-out online and scheduled our pick-up time for later in the evening. Note that even if you order online you still pay in store during pick-up. They are also currently doing take-out only. BEEF CHOW FUN ($11.99) - This is one of their most popular dishes. I thought it could've been a little more seasoned but I added some chili oil and salt and they made the dish better. 4/5 CHEF'S SPECIAL FRIED CHICKEN ($9.95) - This was essentially just the popcorn chicken. They were crispy and were seasoned well. However, I was expecting more from a dish that was named "chef's special" than something I could've gotten at a boba shop for half the price. 3.5/5 ONION PANCAKE ($2) - The pancake was very thin so it was crispy but there wasn't much to them. Luckily they were pretty cheap but I could do without them next time. 3/5 Overall the food was good and the prices were reasonable. I'm glad I found a good Chinese spot more north so I don't need to go to International District for my fix. I'd be interested in trying their fried rice or other chicken dishes. read more

BIPOC small business run by a hard working couple. They opened during the pandemic. It was a difficult time but they seem to have a pretty loyal client base because there was always a short line for pick up of takeout orders. They had a couple of seats outside where you could eat; they do have a couple of tables inside but I always do take out. Egg flour soup. Hot and sour soup. Beef chow fun a.k.a. wide rice noodles. Beef and broccoli. Chicken and vegetable stirfry. Garlic green beans. read more

If you're craving some good Chinese take out, look no further. I ordered online and they had my food ready when I got there. It was still hot!

They definitely give you a good portion for what you pay! read more

Sunflower Garden - Sweet Sour Pork Beef Broccoli Pot Stickers Egg Rolls Onion Pancake BBQ Bun - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This location has a history of mediocre restaurants and this one is no different. We live nearby and had skipped this place for years, but after seeing a number of glowing reviews we thought we'd see if our assumptions were wrong. Nope! The one bright spot were the Pot Stickers, which others praised as well. We also ordered BBQ Buns, General Tso's Chicken and Sesame Chicken. For both, the sauces tasted like the Hunt's version of pasta sauce. Meaning they tasted nothing like you'd expect the sauce to taste and way too much sugar. We took the food to-go and ate at Flying Bike Brewing. After a bite of the BBQ bun, I put it down. I ate some of the Sesame Chicken because I was hungry. In the end, we tossed any leftovers we had. We can't think of a reason to go back. read more

Great food! My new go-to takeout. The fried rice was fantastic and the chicken didn't have too much breading.

This post is for a takeout order from Sunflower Garden on 3/16/22. It was one of those dinner moments when we wanted Chinese cuisine, but didn't want to drive all the way to Chinatown/International District coming up on 7pm. Based on the Yelp reviews, decided to finally checkout Sunflower Garden, located in a strip mall that also has other businesses featuring burgers, produce, and Mediterranean cuisine. It has its own parking lot by the busy intersection of 105th/Greenwood/Holman in North Seattle. I ordered onsite: chef's special fried chicken, sweet and sour pork, and the wontons in spicy sauce. It took about 20 minutes and was given some of the homemade sesame candies versus the ubiquitous fortune cookies. Definitely piping hot contents as I sped back home. We dug in with the steamed rice we had on hand and declared it tasty. Piping hot, but packed in such a way that items weren't soggy. Cut out holes in the containers prevented steaming and the sauce was packed separately. I took home a takeout paper menu and look forward to trying other entree dishes. Friendly mom and pop neighborhood indie spot! read more

OVERALL: 8.3/10 (Yelp Converted Score: 4.15/5). My partner and I arrived famished around 3pm for a late lunch on a sunny Sunday in 2021. There was nobody else here so we had the entire restaurant to ourselves. There's a decent amount of parking in the plaza lot, but it's shared - so if any (or a lot) of the businesses are busy, you may have to find parking on a side street nearby. Verdict: an excellent portion size, decently fresh, and very filling. We ordered four things and had tons of leftovers. 1) VARIETY/SELECTION: 9/10. The menu is not that long, but has clear sections: soup, fried, appetizers, stir-fried, house special, and drink. It all fits into a nice foldable menu, which is perfect for ordering takeout. 2) FRESHNESS: 8.5/10. We ordered: 1. Hot & sour soup - it wasn't that sour, but they gave us additional vinegar to help make it more sour. 2. Shanghai bok Choy - the garlic was very evident, this was the smallest dish of the four. Still tasty. 3. Chow fun with beef - noodles were great (not too dry), the onions and beef were tasty. 4. Mapo tofu - the sauce went super well with rice. We ate the leftovers for dinner later that day and it was just as tasty as before - the soup definitely wasn't as sour or as spicy as it was at the restaurant, but I'm guessing this has to do with the reheatability of the food. 3) VALUE FOR MONEY: 8/10. The cost breakdown went as follows: 1. Hot & sour soup: $8.95. Okay portion size; probably meant for one, but could be shared between two people. Unsure what the ingredients all were, but considering it needed more vinegar, they probably cheaped out a bit here. 2. Shanghai Bok Choy: $9.95: overpriced, the portion size was "meh" at best - knowing that you can cheaply buy shanghai bok choy at the Asian grocery for ~$3/lb, this dish has a very high margin versus effort/portion size. This is maybe worth charging $5-6 for. 3. Chow fun with beef: $10.95: Worth it for what you get - this is shareable by two people, or a big meal for one. 4. Mapo tofu: $10.95: Considering how cheap tofu is, I think this is probably overpriced by a bit - only $1-2 over. An extra bowl of rice being $2 knocks down the score by at least 1/10; these don't cost much, and at-most should cost the customer $1. 4) SERVICE: 8/10. The only two complaints I had in the entire visit were that water refills were hard to get (we were the only ones in the store, but they were nowhere to be found after they served our order), and one small bowl of white rice cost $2. I'd say otherwise the value for money and service would have had perfect scores. Thumbs up for being Mandarin-speaking though, and taking my peanut allergy in stride (no allergic reaction!). 5) CONSISTENCY / FIRST IMPRESSION: 8/10. I'd for sure come back, but maybe not for dine-in. As the stereotype goes (and this rang true when I was back home in Toronto back in December 2021) - great food, decent decor (sometimes), but terrible service. It's almost an expectation at this point, so maybe I should have expected this from an authentic Chinese place. read more

Sunflower Garden - Hakka chow fun (top) Beef chow fun (bottom) - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been back three times since my last review, and have also gotten the beef chow fun, green beans, stewed pork over rice, and fried wontons. While the food was tasty, the dishes didn't beat out my original lineup: green onion pancake, BBQ pork buns, spicy wontons and fried chicken special. So if you're going for the first time and don't know what to get, just get this, trust me. The other thing to point out is as with most foods, having the dishes at the intended temperature is key. The first time we went we ate at the restaurant so everything was just made and hot. If you're doing takeout, be sure to properly heat at home to really maximize your dining experience. If you get the green onion pancake and have it at home cold, it's not going to be very good. Take the time to pop that ish in the microwave or air fryer and you'll be set. Or, just break into on the drive home. I was so impressed with the food my last experience, that I forgot to talk about the service. This is definitely a mom and pop shop; every time I stop by I see the same man in the back, and woman up front helping customers. We've only ever interacted with the woman, and she is very friendly. I love having a Chinese spot nearby and am rooting for them! read more

Good food. Close by my residence and sufficient parking. Service was cool but no seating area inside.

Had BBQ Pork bun, Chow Mein, Crispy Garlic Chicken Wings...all super yummy and would definitely get again :) Cha Siu Bao is so good. The crispy chicken wing in garlic oil is super crispy and juicy, there were 7 wings - wish there was 8 to round off sharing with others though. My first time here I tried the spicy wontons and pancake but didn't like any of those, wontons are not shrimp they are pork. The pancake was decent but a little small and dry for me. Everything else on the menu we tried was amazing tho! Nothing was bad. The stewed pork over rice is legit! read more

It's pretty much just take out but the owners and people who work here are so friendly!! I highly suggest doing an online order thru their website or calling in the order vs DoorDash/uber eats bc they take away fees from smaller businesses to use their platform. While I was waiting for my food I saw a man who seemed very hungry walk in and ask for food and they gave him some food and let him eat. Really nice people and that was genuinely nice to see. Food was very good. Had the sesame chicken, stewed pork and rice, and hot and sour soup. Will be back for sure. read more

All I can say is WHOA. Like, in a good way. Saw the many five star reviews, including ones from my Yelp friends, and decided to give this mom and pop spot a try since we were in the area. I remember being sad that the pupusa place in this location closed down. I didn't know what was going to take it's place, and I don't live close to this area, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that Sunflower Garden grew in its place! This is the real deal. I'm still dreaming about the scallion pancakes, the CRISPY garlic chicken wings, and the sautéed green beans with shrimp powder. One qualm is that the pancake was small. However, it was flavorful and well executed. The green beans with shrimp powder are next level DELICIOUS. I'm a fan of sautéed string beans and I usually get them if they're on the menu. Now that I've had Sunflower Garden's with shrimp powder, how can I have them any other way? Just writing this review makes me want to jump in the car and make the drive to order them again! One of the best things about this location is that it's close to so many other places. Stop here and get fresh produce from Lenny's while you wait. Then go across the street and get a boba tea or a haircut. I love this intersection and wish I lived closer to it. Best believe that when I am anywhere nearby, I will always stop for Sunflower Garden's fantastic fare! read more

How did it take me so long to order from here? The food is DELICIOUS! Ordering was easy - I called in and the lady was really nice! Ordered the pork fried rice, general tso's chicken and tofu w/vegetables. The pork fried rice was so good, pork infused deliciousness. The tofu w/vegetables were A+. Everything was marinated in a soy based sauce - the tofu was perfectly cooked and held it's shape! No oozy tofu - yay! The veggies were fresh and perfectly cooked (bok choy, baby corn & green beans). Last but not least, general tso's was perfect. Tender chicken with the perfect amount of sauce and batter. Pick up was also a breeze. It is carryout only which is perfectly fine with me. I enjoy eating Chinese food with some good TV. You really need to give this place a try. I am adding this to my carryout rotation. I can't wait to try the other items on the menu. So happy this is close to home! read more

I ordered the beef chow mein and sweet and Sour chicken Togo. My food tasted fresh and was ready fast. These people know how to fry chicken!! Delicious flavor and juicy chicken. Not dry at all. You're definitely getting more meat vs breading unlike some sweet and Sour chicken entrees from other restaurants. I like that they kept the sauce separate. The chicken cam with veggies and pineapple. The beef chow mein came with lots of meat and the beef was tender. Delicious flavor and you're getting a ton of food for the price of both dishes. You're getting a deal! Rice comes on side and you'll need to order it. I will definitely come again! Friendly staff as well and clean inside. read more

Sunflower Garden - Beef Chow Mein! - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

As a low budget college student, the fabled "lunch special" is one of the greatest inventions of the modern time. In my quest to find the greatest in Seattle, I stumbled upon the humble eatery of Sunflower Garden. While unassuming at first glance, this spot is whipping up Chinese American classics with remarkable execution. Not only were the salt and pepper pork chops some of the tastiest I've had in a while, but the whole meal was only $11. Came back with my family to try their other dishes and was pleasantly surprised at simply how good each dish was. It rivals many of the local strongholds down in Chinatown, even topping Tai Tung in my opinion. The staff are also extremely friendly and accommodating. If you're a fan of Chinese food, or just looking for good cheap eats, you gotta come here. read more

We ordered take out from this place: Beef Chow Mein, Orange Chicken, Beef Fried Rice, and Bok Choy. The fried rice was DELICIOUS!! Perfectly flavored, beef cooked just right. Sadly, the chow mein and orange chicken were meh. The orange chicken was too tough to eat. The sauce tasted good. Chow Mein had a really odd flavor - the noodles were over cooked and mushy. Will definitely go back for the fried rice but I'd stay away from the orange chicken and the chow mein. read more
