Sunflower Vegetarian Restaurant - Vegetarian restaurant in Vienna - 2531 Chain Bridge Rd, USA

The sushi and wonton soup were amazing. But the paneer dishes were both undercooked. The vegetables also seemed kind of bland. It was an okay experience.

I think this is my first negative review of a place….Very saddened to see the free fall in customer service, and also good quality. Been going here since 2007 (Falls church location, which has since closed, and this one in Vienna). Used to be a wonderful friendly place with very high quality food under Tony and Maggie. Management changed, quality dropped (the peanut sauce for the cold basil roll has tasted sour several times, and they had been told about it also) and prices went up. I guess the final nail for us was when the person answering the phone today very curtly said We won’t make any substitutions anymore’ - what we asked for (again for the last 15 years and even last month) was a change to the base of a soup from one to another. No reason given. Anyhow, maybe your policy changed, maybe the person didn’t want to do it. Whatever the case, you have lost a long time loyal customer who made it a point to stick with you during Covid to ensure we did our part for a local small vegetarian business. And with us 6 other families at least. Good luck with your business.

My family loves Sunflower Vegetarian Restaurant and we have been coming here for many years. Food is always wonderful, service is friendly and the place is clean. Highly recommend if you’re not vegetarian and prefer meat, try Crispy Happiness!

Believe it or not, this is my first time eating at an all vegetarian restaurant! AND it was a great first experience! Everything we ordered was delicious ~ the meat alternatives for Crispy Happiness and General Tso's Surprise were veggie-beef and veggie-chicken, and the dumplings and spring rolls were all veggie! They don't do dine-in yet, only takeout, but they do have a few tables outside to eat. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a vegetarian/vegan options in the area.

First time going to sunflower but definitely not my last I really enjoyed the menu and the desert the service was great and the area is really calm and peaceful I definitely recommend it for vegetarians and vegans who like Asian food and I definitely recommend it for anybody who's looking to try something new.

We have dined here for years - it’s not close but always a treat. We dined Thursday night and the service was great. The Kale and Burdock deluxe is my favorite. My wife ordered Hong Kong Tofu. Both dishes were well prepared and generous.

Update (4/22): Now open for dine-in with new menu items. My favorite restaurant in the DC area since 2009. No dine-in option at this time (12/20), but placing orders online is very easy. I've been picking up my orders, and I noticed that the dining room is being renovated. The most popular menu items are the General Tso and the Crispy Happiness. The Golden Nugget and Ma Po Tofu are my favorites. The veg shrimp is really good too. Most of the menu items are similar to food at Chinese restaurants, but less oily and less sugary.

My husband and I went to the Sunflower on our very first date in 2009. We went back again for our first anniversary and just went back again to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary even though we've since moved out of state. We were met with the same friendly service and memorable tasting experience. Thank you for celebrating with us and being a part of our story! 🌻
