was excited to try some dim sum at this place! all in all, the dim sum was pretty good. i believe they make all of their dim sum fresh, so they were steaming hot when they came. my favorites were the lotus buns and egg tarts. they were SO GOOD. however, the other food was a little bland. we ordered kung pao chicken and spicy fried tofu, and they lacked flavor in my opinion and were not spicy at all. they did come super quick though, while the dim sum took a bit longer. so you win some you lose some i guess? the service was pretty good. i don't have much to say about the ambiance, because we came at a time that wasn't super busy. i can imagine it being chaotic when it's busier though lol. overall, i'd recommend getting the dim sum because it was really good, especially for the price. however, it will probably take a bit.

Had a dim sum hunger so I stopped by Sunflower for a take out. Ordered off of a sheet and waited 30 minutes for my order. I've heard all of the rumors about their dim sum being frozen but I'll tell you I really couldn't tell (and I would challenge those aunties who say it). All I care is taste and my order was just fine for the most part. Shu mai, steamed ribs in black bean, deep fried footballs, chicken feet (maybe a little more flavor), and har gow were just fine. Wish the bbq pork cheng fun had a bit more pork. The steamed rice in lotus leaf was ok but I'm not a big fan of the filling (of course every restaurant who serves this is different inside) but I liked the sticky rice. Certainly not as pricey as the dim sum place in Dublin. If I crave again, I'd go back again to sit down or take out.

This is one of the few restaurants that offers congee on their menu in Columbus. The chicken feet were sweet and salty with the sauce sinked into the soft meat. The combination congee had various ingredients in it (pork, squid, etc). On the other hand, the congee with thousand egg and pork tastes plainer as compared to the other porridge. The bbq pork cheung fun was okay. Personally, I would have preferred the shrimp cheung fun instead. The service was good and the server was polite. The food was also served pretty quickly which was great.

I don't get the 4 rating. From the reviews, I think it may be from people not liking the "lack of spice." It's Cantonese. Look it up. I've reviewed this fine establishment before, but thought I'd update and add, as I am still so happy with the experience I have there with friends. I don't think I mentioned, but the place is very beautiful. It's easy, it seems, for a Chinese restaurant to sink into tacky stuff as an afterthought on bare walls. Here it is well done. It is just nice. Not new, not stylish for today. Just nice. And warm RED. The food is still outstanding. Part of the reason may be the elderly couple that owns it is still on the floor, pushing in chairs, making sure everything is perfect.....despite being bent over and barely able to walk. Dedication. Given the huge crowd coming in from the line, the scant staff really busts ass. Be kind to them! They do a great job of keeping people happy. I wanted to list the dishes I can't go without when there: -Shimp stuffed 3 ways (art. art I say!) -Fried Turnip cake. -Sticky rice (it's in a lotus leaf. 7 treasures! Order much extra to take home! ) --Fried dumplings -Taro fried dumplings (cinnamon goodness!) -Tofu skin rolls -The shrimp rolled in the wide rice noodles. forget the name. But really...for the dim sum, have had none bad. Get there early. -

I think this place is pretty good. I used to live in southern China and have had some pretty authentic Dim Sum. This place is not quite at that level but all the dishes I had for Dim Sum on a Sunday were pretty much what I was expecting. Particularly, I would recommend the Beef Chow Fun, the Beancurd Roll, and the Har Low and Shiu Mai. Also try the soy sauce with jalapeños inside if you like some kick to your food (Cantonese food is not spicy). They also have a Chinese Sausage and Chicken Hot Pot dish which takes 45 minutes, is served in a clay pot, and is really something rare that you typically only find in Hong Kong or a city with a major Chinese population like Vancouver or SF. This restaurant definitely gets bonus points for having that on the menu. If you are craving Dim Sum, check this out on a weekend day!

Columbus doesn't have many Chinese restaurants that serve dim sum, so we are glad to have discovered Sunflower Chinese Restaurant. Even though it's outside of the city, it was worth the drive! They don't currently have push carts, but they have Chinese/English Dim Sum Menu with accompanying photos. Our dim sum spread consisted of Baby Clams (with Black Bean Sauce), 2 orders of BBQ Pork Pastry, 2 orders of Beancurd Roll, Beef Chow Fun, 2 orders of Beef Meatballs, 2 orders of Cha Shui Bun (Steamed), Chicken Feet, Chinese Sausage and Chicken Hot Pot Rice, Chive Dumpling, Deep Fried Dumpling, 2 orders of Egg Tarts, Har Kow, Shiu Mai, Shrimp Cheung Fun, Sauteed Choy Sum with Garlic, Steamed Ribs, Turnip Cake, Water Chestnut Cake. Among the things we ordered, my favorites were Baby Clams, BBQ Pork Pastry, Beef Chow Fun, Beef Meatballs, Chicken Feet, Egg Tarts, and Water Chestnut Cake. Next time, we will have to try other dim sum items, including Beef Cheung Fun, Fried Taro, Juicy Pork Dumplings, Shrimp Stuffed Trio, Sticky Rice Bowl, and Sticky Rice Dumplings.

This place is a core memory for my childhood. My family and I have gone to this restaurant for years! Their Munster green chicken soup and water crest soup is delightful. The salted crispy shrimp is one of my favorites, along with the hunan chicken or black peppered steak. My dad always gets the fried fish and has been his favorite from over the decades. Their lobster was really good too. No matter how many times I come here, it never disappoints!

Hubby and I met a friend here for lunch. My friend and I shared four-delicious dim sum's. Fried turnips, sticky rice filled with pork and shrimp, something that was stuffed in a banana leaf and one other dish. Each one was full of flavor and delicious! Hubby had chicken and broccoli with brown rice and hot and sour soup. He enjoyed his meal and actually had leftovers to eat later! Looking forward to going back soon.
