Wow what an amazing spot. The pho is some of the best I've had.

We had a really good dinner. The five spice chicken was flavorful and the portion size was good.Everything was fine until it got busy. They only have one guy handling take out orders, waiting and bussing tables. With a full restaurant, we were completely ignored. We were done with our meals and it took no fewer than 30 minutes to deliver the check.It is brutally unfair to have just one guy doing everything for the front of house. And it is doubly unfair for customers. The tables on both sides of us were grumbling as well.The food was dirt cheap, which was nice.

I liked this place. All my dishes were fresh, and the beverages weren't too sweet, they made everything just the right way. I will be back again.

As of 03/05/2024:Was greeted and seated immediately upon entering.I ordered the BBQ Beef spring rolls ($12). Let me tell you- this is the best variant of spring roll I have ever had. The beef in the rolls was juicy, tender, and very flavorful.As a main dish, I went with the #1 Beef Combo pho ($16). It was pretty good. Very good serving of different cuts of beef. I was pleasantly surprised by the thick cuts of brisket that were included. The broth was definitely cardamom and coriander- biased. It was a struggle to finish the bowl of pho, as they are very generous with the portion size.4.25 ⭐️for pho, 5 ⭐️for the BBQ Beef rolls, 5⭐️ for service.

Clean and spacious. Reasonable prices. Pho was good but the soup could be better compared with other authentic Vietnamese Pho.Will come back again.

Not my greatest photography, but 5 spice chicken with beef broth pho at Sunflower Garden Authentic Vietnamese! Food was decent, the broth did have a solid almost holiday spiced flavor, and the rice noodles were cooked to perfection! The chicken tasted great, though was a tiny bit dry for chicken thigh meat. Adding the bone from the chicken into the broth is highly recommended! Service was fine, if a bit slow and understaffed. Overall I’d rate it a 6.5/10. The food was great and I certainly wasn’t disappointed, however the flavor didn’t hit as hard as other Vietnamese restaurants nearby do.

TLDR: tasty food with great serviceWe came in at lunch and there were a few other tables. I got the bun bo hue and my GF for the pork chop rice. The pork chop rice had a nice sear on it which added lots of flavor. The bun bo hue has a good flavor to it but I’d prefer it to be a bit spicier. I also liked the noodles, they were on the softer side and not as hard as others. I would definitely comeBack!

Poor customer service

All six of us ordered the vermicelli bowl (one with beef, 2 with pork and 3 with chicken). We all agreed it was delicious! Such a nice combination of flavors with well seasoned meat, crunchy egg rolls, fresh mint, rice noodles and a nice sauce to pour over it. Great service too.

Came here based on someone's recommendation. We were not disappointed! The place was clean. Ordered 7+ vegetarian dishes. Everything was well made with fine mix of spices and flavors. They accomodated all our special requests. Friendly and courteous staff. Fast service

Had a pretty weird bowl of BBH here. It didn't taste bad but didn't really taste like BBH at all. Just sort of a fishy soup with some beef in it. Not a lot of beef or lemongrass flavor. I like my BBH pretty fishy but it should also tasty beefy and herby.

Excellent food. We love the Sunflower roll, perfect mix of fresh and fried. The garlic noodles are classic and fantastic. And of course the noodle soups are amazing…I’ve only tried 3 or 4, but all great. The beer selection is good. Service is great. I do wish they would turn down the overhead lights just a tad, but its still very pleasant inside, great decor.
