Absolutely scrumptious! - Edit
After wanting to visit for ages my partner and I finally went to Sunflower Thai last night and it did not disappoint. We had the panfried dumplings to start, they were beautifully fresh and the dough was perfect. My partner has a tofu noodle dish which looked great and tasted even better and I had the soy chicken in peanut sauce, which was lovely but very rich and filling, it was served with a big slice of lettuce and some salad, and wrapping a bundle in lettuce to eat it was really tasty. All in all, I can't wait to go back!

bland - Edit
The red bean pancake was simple but very nice, then I had the noodle soup with tofu chicken and veggies, it was very bland: no spices, no herbs, just a basic broth.

Very nice service but disappointing - Edit
We ordered a noodle dish with vegetables and tofu, and a peanut sauce chicken dish. The noodle dish was bland, the tofu barely cooked, chewy and tasteless. The peanut sauce dish was too sweet and too strong in lemongrass. The texture of the chicken was very nice, though. Tomatoes were terrible.

Good casual Thai restaurant - Edit
There are a lot of menu for vegan. I ordered Green curry with rice $14.5. It was a little bit spicy and plenty for me but I was satisfied because I had never seen such vegan Thai curry with full of vegetables. The atmosphere is very casual.

If I could go here every day, I would. - Edit
My favorite restaurant in Auckland.
Read moreCheap, FANTASTIC food, kind employees that make you feel welcome, and it's in the CBD.
I get the rice with spicy 'chicken' and veg every time I visit and never get disappointed.
The only thing that bothers me about Sunflower is the lack of natural light, but the quality of food makes up for this.
Pros: The best vegan food in Auckland, in the CBD, cheap food, and kind staff
Cons: Strong artificial lighting

Good and quick - Edit
Stopped in here while shopping on nearby Queen Street. We ordered several dishes and all were very good. We had a toddler with us and they served us quickly enough there was no meltdown:) It's one street off Queen in the back of an arcade. Very plain decor but clean and solid Thai flavors.

Tantalising Options, All Vegan - Edit
Sunflower restaurant is entirely vegan, and the owners are really lovely people. The restaurant is very big on vegan mock / faux meats, however if that's not your thing, you can always have one of the vegetable options like the eggplant dish (which I absolutely love) or the pad thai (another one of my favourites). I haven't tried every single item on their menu yet as I always end up having one of the same dishes that I've had. Highly recommend the pad thai; red curry; green curry; crispy chicken with brown rice; dumplings; and pad thai! Try the pad thai first.

Fab little eatery - Edit
I can't believe I have never reviewed Sunflower! I've been eating with them since they were up in Victoria Street; must be nearly 20 years ago.
Read moreAn Asian mock meat restaurant with a huge menu and lovely staff.
I usually have the sour & spicy noodle soup because I love noodle soup, but all their meals are great. The fried dumplings are also a fave but I never have room for them.
Good place to go with friends and share dishes. Reasonably priced.
Pros: tasty, cheap, friendly, lots of options
Cons: Atmos is a bit ordinary

Good Food, Very Reasonably Priced. - Edit
Mostly vegan, with fast service. The wait staff are friendly when they have time, but they usually working very hard to get your meal to you quickly and keeping the tables clean and tidy (it can get very busy)
Read moreThe food is good, not fabulous, but it is satisfying and very inexpensive. I had the mixed veggie stir fry, the spring rolls and and the veggie puffs (like samoasa). All were good.
The set up is kind of confusing, because the condiments (soy sauce, chili sauce) is on a table adjacent to the counter, but the wait staff bring the meal to you.
There's only two containers of each, so you have to get up, bring the condiments to your table. take what you need and return the container.
Overall, definitely a good value and a great place to go if you're really hungry or on a budget.
Pros: Inexpensive, large menu, Fast service.
Cons: Difficult to find (Needs better signage)
