Sunflower Restaurant

8557 Research, #146, 339-7860

Daily, 10am-10pm

Sunflower is in the same complex with Hong Kong Market and Din Ho. They really excel with certain items that no one else in town does, such as the fabulous Shaken Beef, BBQ Lemongrass Ribs, Viet Spicy Shrimp and Pork Salad, and the Sizzling Seafood With Basil, Garlic, and Onion. Their Bahn Xeo crêpes are incredible and the caramelized onion-stuffed beef rice rolls are the stuff of dreams. Unusual dishes (for Austin, anyway) cooked right. Definitely worth a try, with good, strong-brewed ice tea.
