Amazing food and service. The attention to detail was great. Loved the Tom Yum soup and the pork dish. The truffle fried rice was an interesting choice but enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Loved Flower drum. Amazing food!!
Loved - The sweet and sour pork chops.
Black truffle fried rice was my dish of the day!!
The only thing better than the food, was the service. Attention to details was amazing!!
From food being served to you, to green teas being topped up.
Most impressive was they placed my cutlery on right side to suit me( I am left handed and almost swapped my knife and fork, only to realize it was in the right place) .
Highly recommend and will be back!!
Loved The theatrics with My toffee apple dessert too!response / report this review -

An elegant Chinese - Cantonese - restaurant. Dishes i had were quite different from other Chinese dishes I had had before. It is quite expensive though, but good for special occasions. The eye fillet beef was the best in my taste.

Food:
I shouldn't have ordered the chicken fried rice but I was really craving some rice. The chicken in the chicken fried rice was excellent - flavourful, fragrant and just tasted oh so good! The fried rice itself was also really good and had a slight coconut taste to it that distinguishes it as a Thai fried rice dish. Although the dish that I ordered was good and did a really good job in filling me up, I don't really find it really special. It didn't stand out too much from other fried rice dishes other than the fact that the chicken was exceptionally well done.
Ambiance:
Restaurant was nicely decorated and gave off a relaxing ambiance. It was almost like eating at a spa actually, given the Buddha themed decor, wooden furniture and warm coloured accents.
Cleanliness:
Clean restaurant and facilities.
Staff:
Friendly and accommodating staff. I appreciate the good service and the fact that my water glass was constantly being filled.
Would I come here again? Yes, but next time for one of their curry dishes.response / report this review -

Very, very high class. Excellent service, even to a chump like me. Food delicious, however this is not a place for a quick meal. Look at spending at least two hours and savor the food, and expect a huge bill.

Okay. Seriously. You cannot, I mean Can Not, come to Melbourne and not visit Flower Drum. The food was divine, service attentive professional and polished. Cannot believe I had the best steak at a Chinese restaurant. Had the signature 6-course banquet.

The service here was just impeccable! I was here recently for a pre-theatre dinner with my husband, we told the manager we needed to be out by a certain time and they were happy to accommodate. My favourite dish would have been the peking duck and the bake crab shell. I look forward to returning soon !!

All the dishes we ordered were exceptional!
They all have a very good combination of spices that greatly enhance the flavor without overpowering itself.
Great service, nice environment.
Most likely will come back to this place :)response / report this review -

You can get much better. Tried way too hard to be different and consistently served food that was borderline inedible. Quite expensive and the atmosphere is crap

My wife and I enjoyed the Chef’s 6 Course Signature Banquet with matching wine and loved every bit of it. It was perfect including the service which was attentive yet unobtrusive. Can't agree with some peoples comments that say your paying for the service though. Our one downer for a perfect night was the expression on the maître d's face because he did not think we tipped enough. I tipped 10% of the meal but I think he felt I should have included our drinks. When you charge me $50 for a Scotch I don't ever think you need to be paid extra. Regardless we gave the extra to a charity the next night and feel satisfied.

Although the price is high, Flower Drum delivers great fresh Chinese food matched with attentive service. I had the signature 5 course chef lunch and left absolutely satisfied and full.

I agree it's overpriced but you're paying for the service. Regarding food, I loved the Peking duck because it was prepared differently. I can just eat a whole plate of it. The fish and beef were ok. Nothing special. The fried rice was good because it wasn't salty, just enough to bring out the crab flavor.
