sunflower thai vegan restaurant

honestly the best vegan food in auckland cbd area. theserviceis 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.servicefrom 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.

i'm not even vegan but this is a pretty good place. very good customerserviceand 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.

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.serviceis good and we get food on time.

goodservicewith 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

i had dinner here and it was my first time having food from a vegan restaurant.servicewas 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

i ordered the fried chicken on rice and man it was so good 🤤 customerservicewas great and the amibence made me feel at home. a great vegan place and my new spot.

service 5/5
food 5/5
ambience 4/5

very friendlyserviceand the pad thai was so incredibly tasty and flavoursome. nice hidden spot on high street. will definitely visit for more of their dishes.

pleasantly surprised with this little gem in town. it was a very busy lunch time for this place when we arrived butservicewas stil excellent given there was only two people that manned the whole thing.
the selection is very broad and the taste was very good! i opted for the very popular spicy chicken and was not disappointed. will definitely be back to try more dishes from the menu. bonus that it was on zomatogold!

i’ll definitely give 5/5 to the pad thai. but sadly only 1/5 to the mapo tofu. so on average, only 3/5. theserviceis pretty nice though- quick turnarounds and friendly waitress.

hidden little gem at the back of a building in high st. you would not really believe it is mock meat and it is all plant based food. great tasty food. love the soy “duck” and the “fish” were so tasty.servicewas ok. a little rough on the edges.

wow.. excellent food.. u will love the concept and the taste.. we are regulars here.. once a month at a minimum. quality food, decent pricing,servicewith a smile

food was great and did not lack any flavour considering that it’s vegetarian!servicewas good and i would like to try other items on the menu too. sometimes i find it difficult looking for a place that has vegetarian options as i have friends that are and this is such a good option! dumplings weren’t as good though

possibly my new favourite restaurant in the city!
i have been pleasantly impressed by this restaurant by my one visit here on a friday night. it was semi-busy, and we had to wait half an hour for a table -so do make sure to make a booking if you’re planning on visiting, as i feel this place is getting more notice.

theservicewas excellent, the one single waitress working was super attentive especially during the busy dinner shift. so i commend her on her hospitality ☺️

food was absolutely delicious. even if you’re not keen on vegetarian cooking, this place works wonders and makes their dishes freaking amazing and so damn good.

i recommend the crispy “chicken” dish. can’t wait to come back to have it again.

oh, and having zomato gold undoubtedly is the icing on the already phenomenal cake. so i highly hiiighly recommend coming in to try it out if you have zomato gold!! you will not be disappointed. 🤗

came back another time: was slightly displeased with this visit.
wait time was a quite long (30mins + ) to get our dishes. on that night, they were confused and maybe screwed up some other customer’s dish from the looks of it? they were pretty busy and you could tell they weren’t trying their hardest to be accommodating to the customers. the potatoes and the fake meat in the musmun curry were way too over-cooked and soft. no texture whatsoever. like wtaf. you didn’t even have to chew it. the fake chicken in the rice dish tasted a little bit off too. such a shame that this visit wasn’t as great as previous ones, i’ll still give them another chance though ha mood.

little gem in the city, wouldn’t have a clue that there is a restaurant there. the place was clean and tidy. good customerserviceand good choices for vegan food. price and portion are generous. will come back here again for sure
