Sunflower Restaurant has a large sign out front that says "VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT."
How refreshing to see it in large letters!
This is a homey little establishment with righteous cusine that rates high marks for fresh ingredients, authentic Thai, Chinese, and Japanese cooking, and presentation that is elegant as well as generous. Oh, and did I mention that everything TASTES GOOD?
My party of three feasted on one shared appetizer (steamed dumplings), a cup of soup each (theirs was a spicy broth with mushrooms; mine was a delicate "ginger and fungi" soup, and two entrees (a curried tofu and vegetable dish, and a very convincing mock-beef "crispy soy protein" with broccoli and snow peas.
Every single bite was wonderful and we had more than enough to fill us up.
The restaurant does not serve alcohol, but they have non-alcoholic wine and beer beverages, as well as a variety of tea and sodas. The wait staff were attentive and very sweet. The decor reminds me of a rural cafe, although their decorator ran wild with the "sunflower" fetish--little bobble-headed sunflowers dance in each window, among numerous other tokens.
I highly recommend this place, certainly for vegetarians, starved for a nice dining experience, but also for their friends and family, who i promise you will not be disappointed. Prices are reasonable too.

I LOVE this place! You have NO idea! OMG! I zipped on over there today and had the General Tso’s Surprise. WOW. This is probably the BEST vegetarian establishment in the whole wide world! I literally sing on the way home and make random phone calls because I'm in such a good mood after dining here. It makes me go "num num" everytime I get my order...I don't even look up from my plate. I just num num it all the into my petite tummy! Soooooo good! My god! Please, try this restaurant and you will see for yourself what I BE talking about!! Thank you!!

We have been regulars at Sunflower for years, despite the fact that we live 15 miles away! It is one of those restaurants where the food just feels like it heals you...rather than weighs you down. We come anytime we are passing through Vienna. The staff is always friendly. Just about everything on the menu is great, they are best known for the General Tsos, but the Sweet and Sour is also amazing. Try their cold basil roll in the summer for a appetizer. We have taken many friends and family that are very wary of going into a vegetarian restaurant, and then love it...with many dishes, if you didn't know, you wouldn't think it was vegetarian.

I ordered the "Hot-hot, Shabu-Shabu soup" which has a very tasty clear base soup, lots of bok choi and brocoli, a little spicy. Surprisingly, a mushroom-beef look alike & taste like one, really amazes me. "Yuba" which is a roll of tofu skin, that looks like a "tripe" an ingredients from a Vietnamese "Pho" soup. Love, love this soup.
My husband ordered a veggie burger which he enjoyed so much. I would pass the veggie spring rolls next time. I love the decaf mixed herbes hot tea.
Service is prompt and friendly. Ideally if you are in a hurry too.
Definitely will go back.
