I only ever have the Taiwanese beef soup. The basic one made with brisket not the special with fresh meat (if you want that grab a pho somewhere). The brisket version is fantastic. I like to add a bit of chili. I usually get it takeaway. Either way $9.50.

A starter of bean curd wasn’t what I was expecting, neither bean curd sheets, nor a lighter tofu. These were hard, slightly rubbery strips of bean curd in a simple soya sauce.

Taiwanese sausage turned out to be the pink-red sausage that my mom used to buy at the same time as buying char siu (barbecued pork) or roast pork belly. Slightly sweet, it reminded me of home.

We ordered two mains (too much for lunch with the starters). Rice and beef brisket. I’ve rarely had a beef brisket that I didn’t like, and this was perfect – I liked the extra spicy bits of meat on the rice, and the pickled veg – the flavours felt authentic.

The spicy dumplings were not particularly nice. Crude and doughy, like the frozen ones I buy sometimes in Chinatown for home use, but the sauce was more garlic than chili, and I found the flavour a bit off.

Glad I went. Wasn’t tasty enough to go again – though, perhaps, I should go back for the Japanese eel crepe, which sounds intriguing.

The full review is on my blog!

I have been several times and will continue to go back. The chef recommended dishes are always great and tasty. Good value too. The western stuff like the crepes/pancakes are very average, so I would avoid this. Stick to the Taiwanese dishes. I don't like it, however, when they put too much garlic leaving you with the after taste.

Have recently become a regular to Sunflower for its value and food. Their rice dishes are my regular meals, while the savoury crepes are indulgence food (very rich on cheese and fillings). Portions are generous, and the food taste good, also like their milk tea for additional $2.

Have eaten here many many times. Always consistent, and the young owners are friendly and courteous. Crepes and soups are very good and great value for money.

This place is great, I prefer the savoury crepes over the dessert crepes, but they're all quite nice. Savoury crepes come in a large portion, the ones I've had (vego) are great tasting and you get pretty good value. I love the milk tea + pearls, I recommend everybody to try it.

Overall, well priced, good tasting quality food. One of the regular waiters is a little unaccommodating but all the girls that work there I find are nice and friendly.

The vegeterian noodle soup is really delicious. The soup is so clear and tasty, I don't know how they could make such a nice soup, also many kind vege inside the bowl. I want try other dishes next time.

Chicken schnitzel crepe is good, sweet crepes aren't as good as the savoury ones. Always good to have a wide selection of drinks other than soft drinks and what not. Overall it's a great crepe place!
