Appetizer menu
Thomas V.

To preface, I am not a vegetarian. I chose this spot because I was with a friend who is vegetarian. What can say is that the food texture is very similar to the real meats! We had their vegetarian version of shrimp, beef, and chicken. A cool detail with the "shrimp" is that it still had those orange stripes on it, similar to the real ones even though it had a coated layer applied. Taste-wise, it was perfection. Everything was seasoned and cooked well. Some of the dishes are labeled with a pepper but our server says it was for people with really low spice tolerance. I couldn't taste any spice. Staff was friendly. The vibe here is more homey and quiet.

The Good: - Ryan is a wonderful server- professional, pleasant, informative and efficient - wonderful to have a meat-free dining experience - pleasant co-diners - delicious rose tea - clean tables, silverware - quick water refills (and with ice!) The Not-so-great: - cleanliness of the back area and restrooms- I won't return due to that alone - salad bland and oily - a couple small pieces of tofu... almost returned it (and I never return food) - wontons were good, but very oily - crispy "beef" had nice spice, but again so oily I wouldn't return unless they improve the health standards and use less oil. $65 for basic lunch for two. But the staff was fantastic!

An absolute great choice for vegetarians, and can work if you're not normally eating vegetarian food. It's located in a small building with enough free parking for customers, and a very comfortable ambience. Staff are very friendly, welcoming, and helpful to customers, and quickly seated us. The food is very tasty, especially if you're not used to an all-vegetarian menu. Prices are overall reasonable given it's a specialty restaurant, portions, and flavors. We started off with seaweed salad and fried "Chick"in, which was a good take on nuggets. For our main meals we had Orion Ruby (a sweet and sour dish with taro dumpling puffs), eggplant medley, and ma po tofu. I personally liked the Orion Ruby best.

Sunflower is a long-standing institution in Northern Virginia's vegetarian food scene. They offer a variety of fresh, Chinese takeout-inspired dishes that are vegetarian, and certain dishes are vegan, organic, and/or gluten-free. After 5+ years, I visited Sunflower in December 2024 as a new pescatarian along with my somewhat particular, non-vegetarian friend. Staff was kind enough to provide recommendations, after which we ordered the General Tso's Surprise and Songbird. General Tso's has slightly thicker fried coating for a nicer mouthfeel than Songbird, but is sweeter. Songbird is savory and tender, but still sweeter than most kung pao chicken sauces. The ambience is bright and charming, perfect for a small gathering of friends. Staff is friendly and most of all, the food is delightful even for non-vegetarian folks. Overall, highly recommend Sunflower!

The only full vegetarian restaurant around. They hit it out of the park on Asian food. My companion did not feel the curry was very good. Many different options for dietary choices. I wish there were more restaurants that cater to vegetarians around. I did not miss the meat at all.

A6. Spiced Seasoned Veggie Drumstick with spicy peanut sauce (comes with spicy ketchup sauce)
Aarti B.

Delicious comfort vegan and vegetarian savory Chinese food! While most of the dishes are heavy in soy and gluten, there's a gluten-free menu. The menu is quite extensive and can seem overwhelming. I've come back 3 times and ordered a delightful feast each time, making my rounds through the menu. The cozy restaurant has small table seating that can fit 30 people, no outdoor seating. Would be a tight space for strollers. The dishes can be hit/miss. While the apps were the stand-outs, the main course dishes were fun to try, but not home-runs Something felt off, like an missing ingredient, or the sauce wasn't quite right. The General Tso sauce was too spicy, while the brown sauce in the Hong Kong dish was runny, and the gingery sauce in the Macrobiotic Tofu dish was too thick and goopy. The dishes don't seem to strike the perfect balance. Family style works best here as the dishes taste much better combined and elevate the flavors. I wish the menu was a bit more paired down and customizable and you could pick your own base (noodle, rice, soup), protein, set of veggies, and sauce. While I enjoyed certain ingredients of different dishes, it would be nice to compile bits and pieces of them into 1 dish! Some of the menu items are seasonal, the restaurant doesn't have Radish Cakes or the Eel Cakes. Here's How I'll Dish it Out from Most to Least Favorite: Spice Veggie Drumsticks (2 come in an order) - These petite drumsticks pack a punch and my must-have for every order! While the spicy ketchup is alright, I wish the restaurant carried bbq sauce, which would pair much better. The spicy peanut sauce is fun to try, but doesn't pair that well. I have my own bbq sauce at home! Xmas Roll (5/5) - Seasonal! Hands-down the best vegan sushi roll I've had and truly bursting with flavor in every bite. The crunchiness from the sweet potato tempura with avocado, peanut, and peanut sauce rounds out the flavors. Colorful Rice Noodles (5/5) - Glad I opted for the thin rice noodles, they were very tasty and cooked well. The mock-meat ham, mushrooms, cabbage, carrots, and veggies well. I wouldn't recommend adding fried tofu, it detracted from the flavor. Spinach Wonton Soup (5/5) - The broth of the soup is very flavorful and the tender juicy wontons just melts in my mouth. Hands-down among the best soup I've had. Mizuni Sansai Udon Noodles (4/5) - The Udon noodles were quite flavorful with a heap of veggie and chunks of veggie chicken. Wish there was an option to get the steamed/fried tofu instead of the veggie chicken. I was a little surprised to see mushroom in the dish, but no broccoli. Overall I enjoyed the dish and paired well with the Hong Kong Tofu. General Tso's Surprise (4/5) - The crispy mock chicken meatballs was tasty and smothered in spicy sauce! While I dish was fun to try and rarely see a vegetarian version, it was a bit too spicy for me and the soggy meatballs didn't make for good leftovers. If you're a fan General Tso's, then go for it! There's a vegan version too. Hong Kong Tofu (4/5) - The classic Chinese dish with fried tofu, mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, kale, and mixed veggies was tasty, but the brown sauce was quite runny and bland. Wish there was an option for steamed tofu. Crispy Happiness (3/5) - Crispy mock-meat beef tips with a sweet and sour sauce, very goopy. Singapore Noodles (3/5) - The thin stringy rice noodles had a nice spicy curry flavor with mushroom and wok fried mixed veggies. Some of the noodles were a bit clumpy. Protein was missing - wish veggie chicken, fried/steamed tofu, or tempeh came with the dish. The noodles got very soggy a couple of days later and had to throw them out. I'd recommend eating the noodles the same day. While I enjoyed the flavor of the noodles, I prefer the Mizuni Sansai Udon Noodles, which was a bit more rounded out with a heap of veggies and veggie chicken. Macrobiotic Tofu (2/5) - While I enjoyed the chunky blocks of steamed tofu, I wasn't a fan of the thick goopy ginger sauce and the super bitter acrid burdock and sweet goji berries and dates. The sweet and savory combo didn't feel balanced. I saved the tofu, and threw out the rest of the dish. Mini Sukiyaki Soup (2/5) - Super bland soup. While the gigantic portion with 2 containers was filled to the brim with a heap of cabbage, onion, greens, mushrooms, and steamed tofu, the broth was flavorless. It would have been nice to have some udon noodles. Something felt missing. Will be back for the drummies, Xmas roll, Spinach Wonton Soup, and Udon noodles! I enjoyed exploring the menu and look forward to coming back to try more dishes. I'm determined to find the perfect well-balanced dish!

D6. Fantasy Roll
Stephanie C.

4.5 stars for some delicious Asian vegetarian food! I love that all the options on the menu are vegetarian and that they have imitation meat. I got the orange imagination and it was good! The wheat gluten is more like seitan than chicken but the orange sauce was good, it tasted healthy, and there was a nice 5 spice flavor to it. I loved the Fantasy roll and thought that it tasted very close to a shrimp tempura meat counterpart. I ordered the wonton soup based on Yelp reviews and thought that the wontons themselves tasted really good like it had XiaMi or baby shrimp for flavor despite being vegetarian. However, I wasn't a fan of the wonton soup. It was heavier than I thought it would be, not the clear broth I expected but rather dark, nutty, and a little spicy. Ther service was fine and the food came out quickly. Of note, they only had udon or soba as noodle options. No tofu noodles, despite what their online menu said. The interior of the restaurant was cute and I liked the sunflower paintings!

Five stars to Katie who not only took my order, but walked me through the menu to help me find the perfect things. Gregarious, helpful, adorable and knowledgeable, she really made this first visit excellent. The menu is extensive and kind of overwhelming with all the wonderful options. There are a few vegetarian options, clearly marked, but otherwise it is all vegan. My food was takeout today, but the dining room is beautiful and the decor of sunflowers everywhere is so fun and attractive. I could see meeting up with my bestie for lunch here sometime. I held back a star because the portions are definitely smaller than I expected and a little less "gourmet" for the price. That said, I will definitely be back at some point while I'm working in this area. YES: Vegan friendly

8/23/24 Brown Rice(Bland) Golden Nuggets(Loathsome) Hot Fried Spring Rolls(Superlative)
John F.

*Part 2 Of 2* 8/26/24 Final Thoughts: Sunflower Vegetarian had another location in Falls Church, but it closed down. It is the one I really remember. I was informed I have been to the one in Vienna before, but it obviously wasn't memorable.   The Golden Nuggets and Ms Doubtfire have changed the game and not in a good way. I now understand why we were the only ones there. Okay, there was one Uber driver who walked in and picked up an order, but left quickly afterwards. Douglas made the experience great. He leaves a five star service for great customer service and fixing a problem quickly and efficiently.  However, I still have to leave this with a one star review because of Ms. Doubtfire and what she said.  This left a worse impression than the obnoxious bawsaq soup. No I don't hate Mia for what she said to Douglas, but I do pity her. If you chose to try this place out, I hope it works out for you. Oh!, and I just learned today (8/25/24) this business has only partially passed their health inspections for some time. This is a new feature on Yelp I clearly missed.  Another reason this business didn't have any people eating there except us...

Friendly service for years. Vegetarian food so good I had been coming here for decades, even despite not being vegetarian. Wonderful sunflower paintings. Homey dark wood furnishings. Winnie the Pooh book. My favorite is the General Tso's and the Sushi.

Fantasy roll 10/10
Naz S.

This place is a solid "ok" 3. Let me explain why... We started with the fantasy roll which was absolutely phenomenal. Probably the best sushi I have ever had, tasted like a bomb tempura roll. But beware it has a spicy kick. If I had stopped with this roll, it would have been a 5/5. The rest of the meal was a 2.5/3. We then ordered the songbird and the crispy happiness. Since the crispy happiness just looked like a whole lot of meat I asked that they add bamboo shoots and corn. You can see from the picture there are BARELY any corn in the dish. Yet I got charged 4 extra dollars for the addition to an already expensive $18 dish. It would have been nice if the waiter had informed me of the prices for the additions. I had some of my friends meal to and it was pretty good albeit salty. And I should note the portions are quite large so prepare for leftovers. A few issues I had was that the website advertises that they are gluten free and only use soy products yet their dishes are gluten!!! The songbird states this but the crispy happiness does not. Also, while the dishes are tasty they are DRENCHED with salt and probably MSG. this is not something I would consider by any means a "healthy" meal. Also this place is PRICEY and while I understand inflation and price increases, the dishes should not be over 15$ especially since they can't even offer you a complimentary hot tea when you sit down. A vegetarian sushi with zero expensive sushi grade fish should not be almost 20$!! Also the waiters are very nice but seem green. There's a lot to choose from and a little confusing of a menu so some background and insight would be nice. Also the waiter brought me a small rice container for my "leftovers that didn't even fit all of it. Would I return? Maybe only for the bomb sushi to go.

So good! Amazing service and really calm ambiance. The skewers were insane, all of the vegan meats were amazing. The steamed dumplings were okay, not bad but I wouldn't order again. The colored vegetables lo mein was good as well. Would return!

Is this the same 'Sunflower Vegetarian Restaurant" previously open in Falls Church at 6304 Leesburg Pike?

Same family from what I understand. They had two locations. This one is still open - not sure if the other location is also still open.

Do they have gluten free/celiac friendly options?

Yes! They do have many gluten free options.

Flew into town for a concert and saw this at the top of the recommendations, very serendipitous!…read more The place has a great atmosphere from the moment you walk in, the decor has a unique kitsch and the music is a definite vibe as well, and that's before you meet the staff. The staff was friendly front to back, hostess, waitress, bar tender- friendly and knew the menu and had solid recommendations and knowledge of the menu. The food was great, we had rangoons for an appetizer, followed by their famous General Tso's and the Mongolian Combination, all delicious! Highly recommend this place if you're in the area! Shout out to Jason!

However things went downhill pretty quickly. I ordered one of their specialty cocktails, which is more expensive than most of their meals, which was just ok. The drink was pretty strong which I didn't mind but most of it was just ice and the gummy was a little stale. Overall it looked cool but didn't really justify the price. The service is really where I felt let down. The 2 friends that I came with got their food in a normal timespan but it took 20-30 minutes for me to get my food. When I asked about it (because clearly they forgot) they lied and said their kitchen was backed up and the order is being prepared. The restaurant was half empty at that point so it was a little hard to believe. Also another waiter came out 10 minutes later and said my food just started to get cooked and will be out soon. Both my friends were pretty much done with their meals by the time I got mine and I didn't get anything from the staff aside from an insincere apology and a bad excuse. For the price we paid I expected much better service and for the staff to go above and beyond when they make a mistake, which didn't happen. The food was good when it eventually did come out though so I I'll give it an extra star for that.

Had never heard of this place, but a…read moreFacebook friend raved about the drunken noodles here, and I noticed the spot wasn't too far from me (within short walking distance of the Dunn Loring Metro stop in Merrifield near Vienna), so I decided to walk over and check it out. Went over a few Saturdays ago a little before 2 PM. Semi-small spot, but it wasn't busy, so plenty of seats were available and I was basically able to sit anywhere. (I'll point out that while they do serve beer and wine here, there is no bar area or TVs in the restaurant.) This is one of those spots where you have to access the menu through your phone--no paper menus (unless maybe you ask). Not too much of a problem for me because I knew what I'd come for: the drunken noodles. Not much for vegetables mixed in with my meat, so I ordered the beef drunken noodles with no veggies (except for basil, which I left in) and scrambled egg. Ordered at spice level 4 (extra spicy); spice levels range from 0 (not spicy) to 5 (Thai spicy). I love spicy food, but I was warned by the waiter not to choose spice level 5 (LOL), so I went with 4 just to be safe. Don't know if it was because they weren't too busy, but the noodles came out blazingly fast--in less than 5 minutes! And the noodles were excellent too--honestly, up there with some of the best noodles I've ever had! At a spice level of 4, you could feel the spice, but it wasn't bad at all. I think spicy food lovers would be perfectly fine at 4 or even 5. The noodles were also well-portioned and fantastic. The base price for the noodles was around $14. While most protein add-ons are no extra charge, the beef option was an extra $2, and adding scrambled egg was another $2. With taxes, the price for my noodles came out to around $20, which wasn't bad at all considering my add-ons. Customer service was good--the waiter was nice, prompt, and informative about the menu (which honestly isn't the easiest to navigate online). Great experience overall, and I was in and out of the restaurant in less than 25 minutes. Enjoyed my meal so much that I came back a couple days later for their Monday-Friday lunch special, where you get a free appetizer (chicken soup, tofu soup, or crispy veggie dumplings at the spice level of your choice) with any entree. Ordered the beef drunken noodles and chicken soup, both at spice level 5. Both came out quickly and were excellent. Also tried the recommended Thai iced tea for the first time, which was also very good. No complaints about Kiin Imm Thai--I see why they're so highly rated here, and I'll definitely be returning as a regular. Only regret is living within walking distance of this spot for over 3 years and not being aware of it. In addition to this location in the Vienna area (close to the Dunn Loring Metro), I believe they also have a sister location of the same name in Rockville, Maryland. Highly recommend!

Not oily or greasy. The rice was cooked properly. The only misstep was the steak. The steak was also cooked properly at medium rare & looked beautiful. The inside was nice and pink. But upon chewing, the steak was not tender at all. Very very chewy. When you were young, you were taught fo chew at least 30 times. Well, this exceeded the recommended amount of chewing. The steak has a nice beefy flavor but just tough. SHAME. Overall, Sweet Ginger is a very popular and nice place to have Japanese food. The sushi plates (not pictured) were colorful and beautiful. My cousins finished the plates so thats a good thing. The steak was just not great for me.

My family and I came here to celebrate a joint birthday, and we had a wonderful experience!…read moreThe food was fresh, flavorful, and well seasoned. It was my first time trying fried oysters, and they absolutely did not disappoint! They were incredibly delicious and one of my favorite parts of the meal. I'll definitely be coming back for them. The atmosphere was also fantastic. The decor is adorable, and the music selection made the experience even more enjoyable. They played a mix of current hits and great throwbacks from the 2000s, which created such a fun and welcoming vibe. Our waitress was amazing. Even though she appeared to be having a long and busy shift, she consistently checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed in a timely manner. We really appreciated her attentiveness and kindness. The only downside was parking. There wasn't any available directly in front, so we ended up parking in the Walmart garage and paying $12. We forgot to ask whether the restaurant offers parking validation or a voucher, so that's something future guests may want to check on. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere made for a great birthday celebration. Highly recommend!

Stumbled upon this spot after working up an appetite from a long day. My partner and I were seated…read morepromptly by the friendly staff. It's a super cute little spot conveniently located right next to the Walmart in Tysons. We started with the Seared Spicy Roll with Salmon. It was alright, but was pretty doused in spicy mayo, which made the roll a little too soggy for my liking. I ordered the Cheesy Tonkotsu, which was comforting and satisfying. I loved the generous amount of cabbage that came with it. My partner ordered the Chirashi and enjoyed it as well. Unfortunately, the next morning, my partner became sick and ended up vomiting twice. Of course, I can't say for certain that it was from the food here, but the timing was concerning and definitely affected our overall experience. Staff was friendly and service was prompt, but the experience left us feeling a little hesitant about returning.
