Sunflower Garden Authentic Vietnamese Food — Restaurant in San Francisco

I wasn't excited about this place looked unauthentic but my partner wanted to check it out anyways. Its the only Asian option on Potrero hill and the menu is a mix of generic Canto style cuisine and Vietnamese food. The appetizers were really good, they had one of the best crispy Vietnamese egg rolls and the salt pepper chicken was tasty. However don't order their pho or chicken rice plate. The pho was disgusting the worst bowl ever. it was straight up plain luke warm can of chicken broth and some strips of beef steak. The chicken plate came over cooked and they gave us cold water to our rice paper. Oh they gave me a bag of pho toppings but plated everything else lol. The waitress wasn't attentive and kinda rude. Not entirely her fault as she's the only one on staff, unfortunately. Overall not great...

This is my absolute favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the city. (And I have been on a multi year quest for the best pho in SF, I consider it a sport). I’ve been at least 30 times by now over the years. Every dish I’ve tried has been EXCELLENT. One of my favorite features- they do a spicy Bun Bo Hue— but without pork! (I don’t eat pork) and so this is incredible. Their curry noodle soup is fantastic. 5 spice chicken everything is delicious. I also have a ritual before air travel of getting an order of BBQ Beef spring rolls with extra meat and taking them with me to the airport. It is the best pre-travel meal ever- light and filling and wonderful. The staff are incredibly sweet and kind. I’ve taken so many friends here and it’s always a win. I love this...

Great people honestly. The food is great, full of flavor and comes out super hot with refreshing herbs. Also service is a 20/10. Super helpful and sweet people, yesterday I went to eat across the street from sunflower after I ordered to go from them. But while I was eating a worker there witnessed a cat that was stuck in car meowing and stayed near the car trying so hard to locate where it was coming from but other people also came. She ended up calling for help but no one came so she had to stay there for very long. But overall experience I think the restaurant is very clean compared to most places. Definitely a go to spot in sf for...
