Sunflower in the Fog

It's a cold foggy night. You want good, comforting food for not too much money. Asian food...Hey! Sunflower, the tiny Vietnamese restaurant on Valencia, now has a larger place on Potrero Hill! A pretty space with big windows and nice waiters! Lots of great options for veggies and meat-eaters alike, and prices are real friendly.
JP and I had a hard time choosing; too many yummy options. We shared fresh shrimp spring rolls in a good peanut sauce, with a hit of chilies and ground peanut bits. For me, a huge bowl of vermicelli topped with sauteed tofu, cabbage, celery and mushrooms, sided with a saucer of peanut-strewn fish sauce. Really satisfying textures and flavors. JP's sauteed pepper prawns were perfectly cooked, laced with stir-fried onions and truly generous for the price. And yes, they have pho, pholks...and one of my favorites, clay-pot fish! Fog or shine, I'll be back there soon.
