Have tried all the local Chinese restaurants. All but one on multiple occasions. This one is our regular unless we need delivery. The food tastes the freshest and least greasy. Staff are happy to tweak dishes to make them hotter etc. Would be good if they did a salt and pepper box for when I fancy a spicy beige buffet, but their hot and sour soup makes up for it.

Our favourite Chinese takeaway in Dereham. Food tastes the freshest, least greasy. Staff are friendly and know the menu well. Never made a mistake with my order. Would recommend the Hot & Sour soup.

We have been regularly customers and ordering food every week. Lovely lady usually servers us wasn’t there today.we never had problems before until today I spoke to the lady who “ works there 15 years” and the “kitchen never heard of that order before”. Having an attitude towards your customers is not appropriate if you are at the customer service job. Such a shame but the owners should be aware of the service their staff are providing.

I have used the Sunflower house takeaway on several occasions and the food is always fantastic. It's great when you order certain dishes and you know that it will taste the same as on previous occasions. Friendly staff in front of house who always do their best to please.

Tonight our usual Chinese takeaway was shut so tried another with good hygiene, Made our order my Hubby drove all the way back to Toftwood to discover no chicken chow mein! ( His meal) he phoned back to be greeted by a rude woman saying not being funny you could have taken it out of the bag!! Not sure who would phone up an lie about a £5 meal who live in Toftwood as it was a faff having to go back an then half his meal got cold. He went back an they said they found his Chicken chow mein in the kitchen. MAYBE check with the kitchen before ya bloody rude. An thanks for ruining our meal together as i ate mine before he even got back! As I weren’t reheating when he eventually got back. Doubt we will be back.

First time using this Chinese as I’m new to the area, came in this evening there was a lovely girl with dark hair and glasses at the desk taking orders she was very helpful and helped me pick a few dishes she recommended the satay chicken which was lush, the food overall was very tasty

Food was disappointing, not much discernable flavour in a gloopy sauce. Maybe they were having an off day as it was a Monday. Service from the front of house was great and nice to walk out a takeaway not stinking of cooking.

Started using Sunflower by accident as our regular Chinese takeaway was closed. Although further to travel the food on the 3 occasions has been excellent. Fresh, well cooked, not swimming in grease or too salty. Good selection of vegetarian dishes and it didn't seem to a problem removing egg from the veggie Singapore noodles. Portion content is adequate too. Safe to say this is now our 'go to' takeaway. Photo attached is my dish of chilli and salt tofu on veggie Singapore noodles. Delicious 👌

My husband and I have just enjoyed an excellent meal from here. My husband had a duck curry with so much meat it was enormous. I had King prawn curry and I loved it. I ordered it at 4.30 by phone and picked it up at 4.45. I was served by a lovely young lady and the food stayed nice and hot right to the end. I was very impressed by how nice and clean the place was too. We will definitely be going again.

Put an Order in at 18:20 got told be hour and half so I rang up an hour and a half later to be told be ok at 19:45 . I arrived at the take away which was full. Went and asked how long it will be as I rang and was told it will be done by 19:45 bare in mind the person I spoke to was a miserable and rude member of staff on the phone For then the lady who was polite who didnt speak to me on the phone went and spoke to another member of staff who took my order and told me these times . From that convosation which I could hear ( they rang at 18:20 ) which I thought was rude to be screaming and shouting about a customer. Obviously they have more and more people infront of me who have been waiting 4 hours for there food and still sitting there . But they continue to take more and more and more orders on the phone ! If you can’t be honest to the customers that are waiting. Then why keep accepting orders UnORGANISED As hell #typical Dereham !

Ordered at 6:55pm. Told it would be ready at 7:45pm. Usual for a Saturday night and fine for us. Went in and paid £45 at 7:35pm. At 8:05 no sign of takeaway so asked about it. Was told nothing more until it finally came out at 8:40pm. At this point the lady said "very sorry" I told her I was disappointed and didn't expect to wait 1hour 45 without warning of delay. No compensation offered at all. The food is good but we won't be going back - we've used Sunflower for 8 years. It was their mistake and they should have managed more than "very sorry".

After the last meal from here we weren't going to bother with this place again, however friends came over with food from here and I have to say it was better than the last time. We had a mix of dishes that were nice. Still find the portions a little on the small side and when spending £40plus I think not including the prawn crackers is a mistake. Overall much better food, but still needs to improve before I start to buy from here again.

We’ve been using this Chinese takeaway for over 10 years any time we’ve tried another local one we always end up returning to Sunflower House no other takeaway comes close to it for the dishes we particularly like. Keep up the good work. It’s busy and yeah sometimes you have to wait a while but you just have to plan that in. It’s because they’re busy, I’d be more concerned if they were very quiet so I’d rather wait and get good food than get crap food within minutes!

What had changed nothing still the worse food and you ppl who say it's nice you must be used to crap food raw cold rice. Chicken what had something on it. 0 out of 10. Worse food again. Sort it out it's not hard to cook stuff fresh than a week old whatever Not the sane as old school Chinese fried rice what was still as white as normal boiled rice the duck was not normal why is it in the uk it's hard to get proper chineese food where the meat is cooked fresh and not soggy the duck was like it had gone dry then cooked chicken balls small I suspected are frozen and when it cost near 40 bucks not the best

Our local takeaway of choice - and we have several to choose. Good food, wide variety; beware of the waiting at peak times - the deliveries and phone orders will fly out of the door while you’re standing (or sitting) waiting.
