sunflower thai vegan restaurant

honestly the best vegan food in auckland cbd area. the service is super friendly, portions are great and the food is delicious

it was vegetarian night out for the wife's birthday and we were treated to thai style vegetarian versions of famous thai tom yum soup, chicken burger, dumplings, spicy noodles with chicken..all done in tofu derivatives of meat dishes.

bang..bang..bang..banging with flavor. service from the single waitress was phenomenal. one had to marvel at how alert she is to the customers requests and hardly ever slips up getting the orders right first time even though there are 20 people in the restaurant with only two cooks.

don't forget the chilli condiments and oils for added punch .

and tofu done like that i will eat any day..
neat, clean, vegetsrian with vegan options.

food used to be super great but now its really average, the dish was a bit cold. the fried tofu chicken was overcooked and the favour was really dull.

very busy vegetarian thai restaurant on high street. the staff are super friendly and welcoming. food is ok, nothing really strikes me tho. the ambiance makes me feel like i'm back to asia, which is amazing!! good value if you use zomato gold by the way :) really my favorite vegan place in auckland 💓💓💓

best vegetarian restaurant in auckland, hands down. lovely cook, friendly people. i tried your soup noodles, crispy chicken rice all amazing

i'm not even vegan but this is a pretty good place. very good customer service and the meal portions are huge. there are so many different options and the "meat" actually tastes like meat. while i had a tofu burger i took some of my friend's "fish". while there was so much vegetable to get through the tofu once i got to it was amazing. top quality vegan food.

oh man, first time ever tried vegan meat taste like real meat. the food is 10/10. will b back there again for vegetarian meals. these guys are extremely busy so make sure you arrive early or book before hand. this is a quite small restaurant so don't expect do receive a high class service. u will need to arrange your table and chairs. if you aren't quick, someone will take up ur seats while you are ordering at the counter

this place is now my go to vegetarian eating house in the city. if your a vegetarian you know there are not a lot of options in the cbd so am happy to have discovered sunflower.
staff are really sweet and helpful, food has great flavours and lots of veges and lots of variety. prices are very reasonable too.i hope they do very well and continue be around for a long time.

small little shop in high street which can be a bit hard to find/notice unless you’re really looking for it. came here because of zomato gold and was not disappointed! food was delicious and so many vegetarian and vegan options to choose from! at first glance this may seem like a takeaway shop but definitely give this place a chance if you’re looking for good food!

food: we had the pad thai and i substituted the chicken satay for tofu satay - very easy to change/alter your meals which i found accomodating. good portions and delicious!

service: lovely people and everyone was very sweet and accomodating. greeted and seated as we walked in and got checked up on during our meals.

would definitely recommend

tucked inside a little alley behind a couple of other restaurants is this vegetarian hidden gem. you’d be surprised by the menu they offer and it’s great for both vegetarians and meat lovers.

my friend really enjoyed the pad thai she ordered as it was full of flavour but not as oily compared to other places. the sunflower noodle soup was delicious as well, the soup was full of flavour and had a variety of additions such as vegetables, mushrooms and oden.

the food came out quickly and staff are friendly, though it’s probably not a place to come to if you’re looking for something with a bit more buzz.

would recommend! :)

(found out about this place through zomato gold)

it's an excellent choice for vegans/vegetarians, wide range of varieties to choose. its my regular place for lunch as it is located at convenient location and delivers awesome food. service is good and we get food on time.

excelent food!! the dishes are very plentiful. very good and fast attention. the place takes you to thailand for your food. recommended! 100%

good service with friendly staffs, didnt have to wait too long for my rice with crispy chicken and stirred fried veges, which was scrumptious. overall, everything tasted great and would still go back to try the other vegetarian dishes

good place to visit if anyone in your group is vegetarian. me and my vegetarian friend thoroughly enjoyed their food and service. wil visit again

i had dinner here and it was my first time having food from a vegan restaurant. service was efficient but you had to order before eating at the counter. cost was quite cheap as well. i got the spicy chicken with rice and i tried a bit of my friend’s fried chicken with rice. having had chicken multiple times in my life (even multiple times in weeks), i could clearly taste it wasn’t like the actual meat but i was still very interested in how they created the dish so it’s similar to chicken.

spicy chicken with rice (3/5) - didn’t like my dish that well. i think they wanted to make something like korean fried chicken with the sauce but i didn’t really like the taste. the sauce or vinegar that was under the bed of rice tasted good though.

fried chicken with rice (4/5) - tasted more like the real fried chicken and didn’t really get soggy as quickly. the soy inside was flavoured nicer than the spicy chicken.

overall, not too sure i would go again since i’m not vegan but it’s definitely a good place to try out and eat more vegetables and fibre when my body needs it
