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.

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)

*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.

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.

The soup was savory and quaint with slight texture difference of the rice puff toppings. In the past I had their truffle naan which was quite good, with a boar momos. In this most recent visit, I had the momo platter that consisted of 4 of the 5 momos: wild boar, lamb, chicken, and veggie. My favorite was probably the boar momo and then the lamb. My least favorite was the veggie momo. All had a nice texture. The sauces had good flavor. The orange had a small spiciness to it but not unbearable. Good way to try out a lot. We ordered the butter chicken, which was good. The chicken was a little overcooked and dry, and the sauce felt a little watered down instead of creamier. We skipped the naan and instead had the mango lassi which was good, more leaning on the yogurt side so tasted a bit more tart.

I got a vegetarian curry with paneer and mushrooms and it was very tasty. Highly recommend!!!

I ordered an entrée with three sides: grilled vegetables, roasted heirloom carrots, and mac and cheese. Everything was made to order, so my meal arrived fresh and flavorful. The olive oil-roasted vegetables were simple but well seasoned and satisfying. The roasted heirloom carrots were unique as they were seasoned with za'atar and served with whipped feta, which added a delicious flavor. The mac and cheese, however, was just average. I'm not a big fan of gluten-free pasta, and I found it a bit too chewy. It also didn't absorb the cheese sauce very well, so it wasn't as creamy or flavorful as I had hoped. I also tried the draft kombucha, which was fine but nothing particularly memorable. The service was quick, even during a busy weekend lunch, and a staff member was friendly. The restaurant itself has a cute, welcoming interior with plenty of seating, so finding a table wasn't an issue. Overall, I had a really enjoyable meal and thought it was well worth the price. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Where did the Crispy Chik'n Funguy sandwich go? My beloved meaty breaded fried oyster mushrooms that taste just like crispy chicken tenders. What happened to it??? Green Bean Fries (5/5) - Please bring back, sadly no longer on the menu! Surprisingly crispy and delicious! A fun way to get your nutrients and enjoy green beans coated in breadcrumbs with quinoa, corn, and flax seeds. The herb dipping sauce pairs really well! Sweet Potato Fries (5/5) - Love these fries, must have! Perfect sweet and salty combo! The maple mustard and house dipping sauces pair well. Garlic herb Fries (4/5) - The herb dipping sauce pairs well with the fries. Mushroom Bacon BBQ (5/5) - Tangy meaty burger with Beyond the Meat patty, crispy onion "bloomies", oozing with cheddar cheese and smothered in bbq sauce. One time, I swapped out the Beyond Burger patty for the Chik'n patty, which didn't pair well. Recommend eating this burger right away, it gets soggy fast! Baja Burger (5/5) - My favorite Beyond Meat burger with a spicy kick! The fried jalapenos are super spicy - next time I'm opting out of them. While I wasn't a fan of the vegan pepper jack cheese, the guac, caramelized onions, spicy chipotle mayo added a nice sweet and savory flavor and helped to round out the burger. Fingerlick' good! Steakhouse Burger (5/5) - Zesty, fully-loaded burger with a bold bbq flavor from the Beyond the Meat paddy, caramelized onions, mushrooms, mini shoestring fries, cheddar cheese and smothered in bbq sauce. The onion poppy-seed bun really elevates the flavor. Crispy Chik'n (4/5) - I couldn't tell the difference between the Meati and the new Tindle Cutlets, they both similarly taste like a chicken tender. The pickles and garden herb help to elevate the flavor. Chik'n Nuggets (4/5)- They look and taste like chicken nugget, my daughter couldn't tell the difference between the meaty and vegan nuggets. The BBQ wings were a bit messy and paired well with the Ranch sauce, they were my pick over the Plain wings. 4 come in a serving. Grilled Chik'n Burger (1/5) - Not a fan of the grilled chik'n burger, it had a weird rubbery texture. After a couple of bites, I threw in the towel. Save the Bay Fillet - (5/5) - I actually really like the crispy small juicy paddies. Actually Veggies Burger (2/5) - I wanted to love the burger and rooting for it because it's so healthy, but it's so mushy and bland. Tastes just like the vegetarian NoBull Burger. Least flavorful of all the burgers. Chili Bowl (3/5) - The beans and mock beef chili had an interesting sweet and savory flavor with a spicy kick! Sadly it didn't come as advertised and was missing the best toppings - sour cream, scallions, and corn. These toppings would have helped to balance out the flavor. Wish corn tortilla chips came with the chili. The chili just felt incomplete. I ended up buying a bag of fresh tortilla chips at Whole Foods and some guac, which helped to elevate the flavor! Greek Bites - The falafel little balls have a spongy texture, filling and fuln to try! Lil' Dippers (3/5) - Look like crispy tater tots and taste like mini chicken nugget made of soy. While fun to try a couple, 8 of them are quite a bit in a serving and would my appetite for a burger or wings. Mac & Cheese (1/5) - The Mac & Cheese was sadly awful! After I took a couple of bites, I threw in the towel. Mint Cookies and Cream OATasty Shake (5/5) - Hands-down my favorite shake, tastes like a decadent milk shake and like a healthy vegan McFluffy. Peppermint Brownie OATasty Shake (5/5) - The peppermint shake with chunks of brownies was delicious! S'mores OATasty Shake (5/5) - The chocolate milk shake made with oat milk topped with a ginormous toasted marshmallow is the perfect sweet treat! Strawberry OATasty Shake (5/5) - Delicious and on point! Banana Creme Brulee OATasty Shake (3/5) - Very banana forward! Chocolate OATasty Shake, (4/5) - I recommend getting a flavored shake.

Located in the Whole Foods. I love the concept and the brand,…read more however if you have food allergies or folllow a diet you need to read their ingredients. Which is not easy to find and its still not fully listed. Their plant based burgers is made with soy. When asked the cashier she didn't understand and said no. Its not cool because if someone with allergies it could pose a risk. The burgers are made with high sodium, seed oils and highly processed ingredients. A cheeseburger has 800 mg of sodium. The good thing is they use potatoe buns. My burger was a little mushy to my liking and wished they melted my cheese longer. I bit into it and it fell apart which turned into a mess. :( I wanted to get a save their bay (fish) alternative but not knowing what's exactly in it . I couldn't take a chance. The saving grace: Their fries are tasty and I love their sauces, BBQ and sweet mustard are my favorite. The swirl shake is my favorite, however when I asked what's in it, get idk. I wanted to get one for my friend but their website needs updating. A coming soon is listed. Although my shake is good its not as cold as I like. The food is hit or miss, however just like regular fast food, it should be consumed once in a while. I hope they improve their menu using more healthier ingredients and staff are more friendlier and knowledgeable.
