    I used to LOVE this place. We just got takeout and it’s not the same. New owners changed the recipes. Def tastes lower quality than before

    Ordered online. Funds cleared. Showed up 15 minutes later for the pickup. The restaurant said they didn’t see my order. They also wanted me to reorder. Walked out 60 minutes later, the restaurant called me up saying my order was ready for pick up. New owners have driven this restaurant into the ground.

    I unfortunately had a very bad experience here. We entered the restaurant and sat down at a table missing appropriate silverware or chopsticks. Service was slow and the staff was clearly overworked and understaffed. The waitress messed up my wife's order and gave her chicken chow mein instead of vegetarian. By itself, this isn't a big deal, but unfortunately they did not offer a replacement or take it off the bill. In fact, when we politely informed the waitress, she quickly ran away and avoided us for the rest of the meal, even when we tried to get her attention. We would've been fine taking the chicken chow mein to go and ordering something else, but she didn't even come around to ask what would be best for us! When the bill came, they left the uneaten chicken chow mein on the bill and wouldn't take it off the bill. They also quickly carted away the (completely untouched) meal without asking if we wanted it to go. I felt really angered by this lack of hospitality, and I find it especially concerning that they avoided us for the entire meal. I would not recommend this place to anyone with dietary restrictions, or really just anyone in general if this is how they treat their customers.

    I’ve been coming here for 20 years. Moved to Sacramento a few years ago and was in Martinez today so stopped by. I could tell immediately something was different. Found out it’s under new ownership and IT IS NOT THE SAME. It’s ok Chinese food if you don’t know what it was like before. The new owners should not have messed with the recipes. Sad. Probably won’t be back

    I found my new favorite Chinese restaurant. Wanted to go somewhere where I have never been on Saturday night. Saw Sunflower Garden Restaurant on the internet, love downtown Martinez, so decided to go. The atmosphere was very inviting; was clean, docorated nicely, just all around pleasant. Was welcomed in and seated promptly. Ordered Dinner D for two. Every item ordered had great flavor and a nice presentation and a good amount of food. Waiter was very attentive and delightful. Excellent all around.

    1, Not enough servers waiting on customers. 2. Did not turn the lights on in the place. 3. Food was cold. 4. Did not come back and ask if we wanted another drink. 5. They literally looked confused the whole time we were there watching the Oregon / Utah game. Nice people but please get your act together!!! HIRE MORE PEOPLE AND SERVER THE FOOD HOT! Mongolian Beef and Kung Pow Chicken and fried rice were cold. Fried Rice was AWEFUL!

    This is the best Chinese restaurant my husband & I have ever been to! The food is outstanding & service was friendly even at the end of their day. It was also just a short couple blocks to walk from the Amtrak station during our layover. I wish they were in MY town!

    So sad. We have been going to sunflower since it was even in the old location. Went today and it was bot good. Empty. Food was awful. Service was soso. Bowl was dirty. This place needs a deep clean so bad. So sad. At thier current rate the new owners are going to run it to the ground.

    We were on a stopover for Amtrak and needed somewhere to get a nice meal before our 20 hour train. Customer service was amazing. The food came out quickly and tasted amazing. We had the Wor Wonton Soup and Honey Walnut Prawns with a side of rice. We ate everything as quickly as we could but still wanted more. They were still very accommodating even though we did see that they were in the process of closing. Would stop by again!!!

    Delicious food, has a good menu, street parking. Right down the street from the old train station 🚂 in downtown Martinez.

    Sunflower garden has been a family local spot for years in Martinez. Under new ownership recently. Still pretty great food. Sandy sold all the menu recipes with the business.

    My favorite Chinese place in martinez. The food is good and the staff is friendly. I've liked everything I've ordered so far.

  • 5/5 Julian K. 2 years ago on Google
    Just a passenger traveling through the train station, I came upon this restaurant a very short walk away. I ordered a vegetarian chow mein lunch special, which was very fairly portioned and came with a spring roll to boot. Best noodles I’ve had in a long time, thick and chewy with strong overtones of garlic - and quite filling. The hostess was very kind and went out of her way to get me some additional soy sauce packets. The food came out promptly and hot with everything I needed for a meal to go. I am not familiar with Martinez California but I will remember this city has one awesome Chinese restaurant close to the train station! 👍🏻👍🏻

    I love the vegetable fried rice (no egg, no oyster sauce) and the vegetables with tofu. Friendly staff, always fill up empty water cups.

  • 5/5 Charles C. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 John B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and service. Just passing through on the train. 3 minute walk from the station. What a awesome town!

  • 5/5 B M. 2 years ago on Google
    Delightfully impressed! This place is amazing for the lunch special.. great amount of food and the taste?? Delicious! Some of the freshest eggrolls I've had in a while. The people that work here are amazing too...super polite and helful.. overall a great 1st impression for us. Will visit again when in town for sure. *pictured are 2 sets of lunch special entre (Not including the eggroll and soup that comes with the meal) , big portions but not exaggerated either, just perfect * hunan beef and Kung pao chicken.

  • 5/5 Greer P. 2 years ago on Google
    Honestly AMAZING. The best Wor Won Ton soup I've ever had. My husband loved the egg rolls, Kung Pow tofu, and rice. I had to try, and they were delicious as well. We will certainly be eating here again. Highly recommend!

    2nd time getting take out & it did not disappoint. The potstickers are massive & made from scratch. Sesame chicken is SO crunchy & not heavy. Hubby loves the chowmein. A bit higher priced then some other options nearby but it’s a lot of food & worthy of the higher price.
