Sunflower Vietnamese Cuisine

We’ve always said Austin has some good pho and Sunflower makes no exception. Located at the end of a shopping area, Sunflower is a bit unassuming. There’s good parking outside and the inside is simple and down to Earth. It’s a clean place with good service, very ideal for a quick pop in lunch, which is what we did. We only ordered the beef pho but they have a wide array of things on the menu like stir fried noodles and fried rice. The beef pho was delicious with the signature clean tasting broth. Their broth here isn’t as anise forward as many other places, which is actually nice because it feels clean and doesn’t give the after taste that star anise can sometimes leave. The beef was tender and flavorful and the noodles had the perfect texture to them. This is probably in the top 3 of pho places we’ve had in Austin so far and we’re pretty confident you’ll feel the same way when you go and give them a shot!

Event Vietnamese place to try for vegetarians. Fresh rolls were and egg roll were decent. But the peanut sauce was spicy. Thai iced tea was a bit too strong in tea flavor but they gave spare half and half to balance it out. The Jasmine tea has really strong jasmine flavor Lemongrass tofu and noodles were good and so were egg noodles. Overall not a bad place to visit if you want to try Vietnamese food

I love the beef vermicelli bowl so much. I already know i want that to be my birthday lunch next year. Its so damn delicious. The ambiance is fantastic. I love all the pothos plants in there. I do wish they sold some clippings. I also get the spring roll with shrimp only and it was so so good. This is my favorite spot. I have ordered from doordash before and the quality is still fantastic.

I would strongly advise against ordering from this restaurant on DoorDash. I paid $16 for a beef pho that was comparable in size to a kids’ meal. The portion looked nothing like the photos advertised. There were very few noodles and only three small slices of beef. When I opened the container, I felt completely misled. For the price charged, the portion size felt like a scam. It’s hard to believe they aren’t aware of how small these servings are compared to what’s advertised. Extremely disappointing experience.

Our real estate brokerage team came here for lunch and we couldn’t have been happier! Even though it was busy, the staff handled everything so smoothly and our food came out fresh, fast, and delicious. Everyone ordered something different, and every single person left satisfied! The atmosphere is what really stood out , tons of natural light, beautiful indoor plants, and a vibe that feels bright and welcoming (definitely not one of those dark, gloomy spots) perfect for lunches, brunches etc Service + food + atmosphere = 10/10. Can’t wait to come back with my family next time 👌🏾👌🏾

This is my second time dining here, and once again, everything was delicious! I had the Bò Né and the Vietnamese vanilla flan for dessert, both were spot on. And I loved how the flan was smooth and creamy but just a bit sweet to my taste, still delicious tho. Last time, I tried the bánh xèo and it was amazing too, crispy, flavorful, and packed with fillings. The staff is always friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. As a Viet, I truly appreciate the authenticity here and definitely recommend this spot to anyone craving real Vietnamese comfort food! Definitely will be back soon 🙂 Update: I used to recommend this place to everyone and after this visit today, i won’t be coming back. Took a long time to take order. And ppl came after got service before us. No offer water or anything while we waiting until i asked. Bad customer service. It’s so sad that I actually enjoyed and loved their food.

A well-maintained and clean restaurant, with fast service and friendly staff. Another advantage is the diverse menu and reasonable prices. The beef pho had a generous amount of meat.
