Sunflower Thai — Restaurant in Westminster

This place gets one star for the people who don't care about what they eat. If flavor is all you care about then this is the place for you.

If you have any interest in the ingredients that are in the dish you are ordering you need to ask.

If you have food allergies(especially seafood), food sensitivities, or food preferences make sure to specifically ASK FOR EACH AND EVERY INGREDIENT.

They do not properly label their menu items with food allergies and they hide ingredients on their menu and in their dishes.

There are certain seafood ingredients they will sneak into the dish without you knowing.

Most restaurants these days have their menu items listed with at least the major food allergies. It's either that they are not properly labeling on their menu to hide the ingredients to get more sales or they don't label it because they are too lazy or maybe they just don't know that this is a thing. Whatever the case...it's bush league for sure.

Furthermore, their (I hesitate to call them)"chefs" don't understand what common food terms mean? This place could at least have some hiring or training standards if they are serving food.

Apparently to them FISH SAUCE and SHRIMP PASTE is VEGAN!

I know vegan food has come a long way and they do have mock products on their menu...the shrimp paste and fish sauce isn't a mock shrimp paste and mock fish sauce. It's the real thing. Lmfao.

I guess I'm lucky that I just prefer not to eat that poison. They are seriously going to serve food and hurt or kill someone who has food allergies. I'm surprised they haven't killed anyone already.

Maybe they have...

Maybe it could...

Just had an awesome dinner here!

I have several food sensitivities and allergies and usually hate going out to eat bc I don’t want to ask a million questions. I called ahead and spoke to the woman over the phone who helped me figure out what dish was safe for me! (I believe she said her name was Zeezee?). She was so patient and friendly about it. She even checked some packaging to make sure there wasn’t anything in their curry paste that I couldn’t have. While this might not matter to most people, those of us with food sensitivities and allergies truly appreciate when food staff are patient and kind enough to make it enjoyable to dine out.

But on top of that… the food was AMAZING! Everyone was happy with their dishes! My husband and I both got panang curry and it was awesome! The mango sticky rice was great too! Our friends stir fry came out sizzling and she commented on how great it was (she’s an amazing cook with her own YouTube cooking Channel who knows her food!). And portion sizes are great! I had enough left over to make lunch with!

Highly recommend this place! We will be...

EDIT - increasing my rating by a star based off the restaurant's response below - that is customer service right there! Thanks guys! Looking forward to trying your food again!

Tried this place out for the first time tonight - Unfortunately, we were missing an order of Shumai - not sure if it was forgotten or if our Grubhub driver got hungry.

Also, I've seen a few reviews that mention the spice level being a little crazy - they're not wrong. We love spicy food and we can handle quite a bit. We ordered Panang Curry and Green Curry and requested "medium spicy level" - the flavor was delicious but it was almost inedible due to the spice. I lived in Thailand for a while and it didn't come this hot.

Will definitely try again but tonight was a bit of a letdown - we really want to find a good Thai place near us

EDIT - did some further reading and most people said the spice level was pretty accurate on their orders. Maybe tonight was just a fluke......
