Huge menu, great flavors

This place is tucked away and very relaxed inside, a very different vibe than everything else in the area. The staff were so sweet and helpful. Tom kha soup is hard to find veganized and they nailed it, though I wish I had gotten it with tofu instead of the vegan chickn which was a little mushy. The papaya salad was crisp and refreshing, and I had plenty extra to take home for lunch. Great spot, would love to try their desserts and full menu.

Pros: Huge menu, Uncommonly veganized dishes, Private and quiet

Cons: Fluorescent lighting , Mushy chickn, Table water wasn’t cold

I'm glad it's here

The food is okay.. The menu is huge. Khu Khu has better Thai food, but much less options. This is a nice place to order from because there is so much choice

Pros: Huge menu

Could have been better

The breaded mock-chicken dish was pretty tasty but everything else didn't taste right. I can't really give the place a recommendation. Pat Thai and Tom Ka soup needs to taste a certain way, and it just didn't.

Lovely Vegan food with many choices

(German below)
I really can recommend this quite completely vegan restaurant in the middle of Auckland.
I have chosen the spicy plant based chicken, which wasn't to spicy. 🔥🥵😂 (Was middle spicy)

Ich kann dieses ruhige Vegane Restaurant in der Mitte von Auckland komplett empfehlen.

Ich habe das "spicy plant based chicken" gehabt, was nicht so scharf war, wie man vielleicht denkt 🔥🥵😂 (wobei es eher mittel scharf war)

Pros: Personal very friendly-Personal sehr freundlich , Big selection/Große Auswahl, Close to inner-city/Nah am Zentrum

Cons: A buEtwas teurer

dinner out in nice vegan place :)

had a nice dinner at this hidden place right in Auckland main city :)
food was delicious though the cauliflower was a little too spicy for me but my friend liked it so it really just depends on your preference so I guess you'll have to go there yourself ;)
will definitely come back to try some of the many other dishes (they all sound soo good)

Pros: many options, very tasty!, no long waiting time

Favourite Vegan Restaurant in Auckland

Love this place. Super casual restaurant with excellent food. Currys taste just like the ones in Thailand. Nice high carb meals, the food isn’t too greasy so you don’t feel sluggish afterwards. Have eaten here a couple times and rate it every time.

Updated from previous review on 2023-01-04

Pros: Tasty thai food , Great value for money , chill atmosphere

A great gem

I can’t believe there’s a Thai vegan restaurant with no onion and garlic… got my heart pumping, ordered som-tom salad and Tom Kha Gai soup with jasmine rice…. Yumo yumo

Good food, great selection

Had the plant based duck, green curry and dumplings. I enjoyed the food and was good portion sizes. Great for a meal with friends but not really date night ambience

Great laksa

Sunflower is a small, cafe-style place. It doesn't look much but the laksa I had (the special of the week) was great. Huge portion, cheap and delicious!

Pros: Big menu - lots to choose from, Great location - just a 2 min walk from Queen St, Large portion size

Perfection!

My all time favourite place! Food is consistent, tasty, and filling. I always order at least 2 mains and a side when I go, so I can take some home for laters haha! My fave dishes are the crispy chicken on rice, and the thai green curry.

Pros: Amazing food, Always consistently good, So much food for your money

Nice place but not the best food

Little cozy place. I ordered noodles after the recommendation of the waitress. It wasn’t bad but not the best I tried.

Tasty food, friendly people

Stopped in as I heard they did a great ‘fish’ and chips (the New Zealand national dish!). It was hard to stick to that plan as there was so much that looked great on the menu! I enjoyed the food and the lady serving was very friendly and helpful. I definitely hope to visit again before I leave NZ!

Pros: Lots of choice, Good value

No frills, simple and quick vegan food

Sunflower Thai is a great place if you're looking for super quick and simple vegan Thai food. You can count on a filling and satisfying meal every time. I love the satay chicken dish! Only rating 4 starts as I don't love that you hear the microwave going off while you're dining. It makes me question how fresh the food is since it's being reheated. Nonetheless, still a great place.

Lightning Quick!

Arrived half an hour before closing and the staff were happy to take my order. I've never had a Pad Thai arrive so quickly and was super fresh. Highly recommend 🥰

fanthaistic

stopped here for lunch.

the food we tried:
- the pan fried dumplings
- the teriyaki mushrooms with rice
- the ‘fish’ with aubergine and rice
- the taro pancake

all were very nice! our faves were the taro pancake and the dumplings.

Pros: lots of options , good pricing, speedy service

Cons: location - no windows, not their fault tho!
