We have been using New Sunflower for probably 30 years and have always had great food. Of late, we have always had the same mains (66 Sweet and Sour Chicken Hong Kong Style and 83 Mixed Meat Hot with King Do Sauce) delicious and recommended! I don't understand the 1 star ratings

Our usual Chinese takeaway was closed so we decided to try this local alternative. My partner and I were hugely disappointed. My vegetable chow mein was tasteless, we had sweet & sour prawns and chicken respectively and both were stodgy and bland. My partner had special fried rice with duck and that was also unpleasant. I can't understand how anyone can rate this place as excellent unless they are entirely devoid of taste buds. The reviews are mixed and we thought we'd take a chance. Sincerely wish we hadn't. £25 or so that just ended up in the bin.

Who ever gave these 5/5 has taste in food . I took your advise and tried this Chinese and it is with out a doubt the worst Chinese I have ever had everything was wrong with it I will not be going there ever again and advise others not to unless you want to be let down .

The quality is consistently excellent and the prices are always reasonable. Wendy always looks after us and I thoroughly recommend them.

We have not been for a while, non descript menu, the duck, in sort of batter tasted terrible, we could not eat, cheap plum sauce which did not taste like plum or was a very poor quality with pinapples in it?????????? Most bizarre. The duck tasted the same as the special fried rice, so must be the oil which tasted rancid... And had been used many times. Don't either use here, or pan city, or ming garden.. Surely there must be a decent Chinese takeaway left? REALY sad disappointed.

Recommended this for the curry by a friend somwent to try . Can"t say it impressed me as slightly sour but guess that's down to personal choice. Fried rice was good though

This review is not about the food. We ordered a take away and was told 35 mins, when I went to collect I found the place full with people who had come to collect and had been waiting ages (over an hour passed the collection time for some) no where to park other then on the main road so risking a ticket. Whist everyone was waiting and been told the food is nearly ready more and more phone orders are being taking with the "ready in 35 mins line" clearly just want to take a much cash a possible knowing that most people will just wait. Won't be going back

We have been going to this Chinese for many many years, the food is excellent and the staff are always very friendly. The prices are also reasonable. We always receive a bag of prawn crackers even tho we haven't ordered them, don't know if this is because we are faithful customers or everybody gets them.

Wendy and the team serve up tasty takeaway dishes. Set menus are good value for money and they are happy to swap out dishes or cater for individual requirements. Reasonably priced. One of the best in Lincoln.

We've used this Chinese a few times but won't be going back again. We'd ordered King Prawn Chow Mein, Crispy Shredded Beef and Special Fried Rice. When the order arrived it was announced as King Prawn Fried Rice which my husband questioned and was told that it was King Prawn Chow Mein. We drove the 10 miles home to find out that it was indeed rice not noodles so we had two lots of rice, neither of which tasted very nice (and one of my prawns was quite black in the middle). Not happy, since it was queried at the time, and is probably more expensive than the rice.

I have been going to the Sunflower for 30 years, the chicken curry, chow mien, sweet and sour are the best

I love this place. Set meal H for two is a real winner, a bit more spice than the other set meals. Service is quick and always pleasant. Don't be put off with the dull exterior it's the food that counts not the decor.

Despite the change in staff here it's still quality, we had food from here Friday, was up to the usual standards, the chip portions are getting smaller tho!

I had the sweet and sour battered chicken pieces, but the sweet and sour sauce was too thin and looked more like bbq sauce. The taste was nice but not like the sweet and sour sauce I have had elsewhere. The chicken pieces themselves were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.The chips were fluffy, cut thickly and the portion sizes were generous. I would definitely come again, if the sauce was thicker :)

Just had such a good takeaway this evening that I wanted to review the restaurant straight away. Really good quality food at a very reasonable price. The salt and pepper chicken is especially tasty and the prawn toast which was so fresh and had lots of whole prawns on top. Will definitely be ordering again!

I’m not normally one to leave reviews, but this was GORGEOUS! We were going to go to a usual chain restaurant but thought we’d try somewhere authentic and independent, and I’m so glad we did- I had Chinese while my husband had Japanese, and our toddler had both (firstly, very accommodating for letting us do that). The Chinese was just unreal- I’ve tried many across the county and it was the best I’ve had. The duck in plum sauce was amazing and the egg fried rice was a highlight actually, such a staple has left me thinking about it several days later🥲 all the staff were so kind and friendly to a pair of very anxious diners and a grumpy/sleepy toddler (even bringing him a special little complimentary dish without us having to ask) and I’m very glad I’ll be studying in Lincoln and able to regularly support them. It’s such a big space too! I had no idea, a real hidden gem and I’ll be encouraging everyone I know to give it a try.

Best Chinese takeaway in Lincoln. We first ordered at the beginning of lockdown when everything else was closed. So pleased we did! The quality is amazing! Ordered from here about five times now and its always delicious! It's slightly more expensive than other takeaways, but for us totally worth it! Salt and pepper squid is amazing, as is the sweet and sour chicken... as are the ribs.. and the curry... I could go on! The quality of the meat is great. Will only order from here from now on.
