Flower Drum Restaurant Melbourne

Superb food and ambience. Prices are "in the stratosphere", but since this was a client function, I was delighted to attend.

Ordered the banquet and did not regret. Each course all had amazing hints of Asian flavours incorporated into each dish which gave me a new level in my tasting palate. The harmonious balance of umami, sweetness, saltiness and acidic was phenomenal. As someone from the Asian background I can proudly state that it was a great interpretation of asian fine dining.

Been here several times and the food never disappoints. Love the ambience and level of service. Would visit again

Years ago, I had one of most memorable Cantonese dining experience in the world, however, second was a slightly missed the points in flavor, seasoning, presentation, service and its care. I had a lunch 4 course. Instead of full degustation though. I will go back for special occasion with special people.

Had the Chefs Signature Banquet. Excellent food, service and wine pairing was well done too. Not cheap but well worth it.

Fresh steamed dumplings and buns came with authentic taste and texture, also friendly services.

Went there for a company event. Service was exceptional from the moment I walked in. Restaurant was a simple but very elegant traditional decor. Food was really good. Staff was very attentive to dietary needs at the table and suggested a few things off the menu

We recently visited this high-end iconic restaurant.

At first I was advised that there's no option of going vegetarian with the Chef's Signature Banquet however seconds later the lovely wait staff informed me that he'll happily work out a vegetarian feast and his exact words were "Trust me with the dishes"! How could I not.

What came out is the feast I'll always remember, one after another amazing plate of food which ticked all the 3 senses. Every dish was the vegetarian version of meat dishes on the menu. Highly impressive!

So glad I trusted the staff because I can't wait to visit again. It was truly an amazing experience.

Wow! What an amazing restaurant, beautiful service and exceptional food! This has to be the best restaurant, food and service wise that I've experienced in Melbourne! I booked this for my Mum's milestone birthday. Despite frequent (some might say painful!) number of enquiries (on my behalf) the online service was always super polite and professional. Arriving at the venue, my already high expectations were exceeded! The table was set with flowers due to my Mum's birthday, the waiters were extremely solicitous, super friendly and helpful. They taught my 10 year nephew how to use chopsticks correctly, topped up any empty wineglasses, and were always available. Adding to the amazing service, the food was exceptional! Well done Flower Drum, no wonder you are a Melbourne institution!

Simply one of the most renowned Chinese restaurants in Australia.
Delicious delicacies and professional customer service.
Unbelievably enjoyable time.

The most famous Chinese restaurant in Australia never lets you down! The food and service is always of the best standards. I will usually always have the set menu when I dine here as it showcases the signature dishes but they are so good you will always want to come back for them again.

I can't fault anything about the drum and always get excited for my next visit.

As good a a Chinese food, service and restaurant can get. Only improvement I see would be to the dated decor. Best Wonton soup I've ever had!

Best Peking duck in Victoria, or anywhere. Crispy garlic pork rib was a surprise, perfectly cooked, and fried rice was as good. Excellent service, beautiful and spacious settings, top up by lovely fresh flowers arrangements. Right choice to celebrate birthdays or special occasions. Restaurant can arrange birthday cake, flowers, etc. Best service.

Overpriced. Quality is far worse than an average Chinese restaurant anywhere in Melbourne. I have no idea how this restaurant has such good reviews. As an Asian person, paying that kind of price for the food I tasted is a disgrace. Almost all restaurants on Victoria Street (Richmond) serve better food for 10% of the price. NOT RECOMMENDED for someone that wants to eat authentic Asian food and not require a second mortgage.

Went to eat alone, and as an Italian I found some taste that are missing from other Italian restaurants. From amazing starters to tasty pasta and finish with a house-dessert and a glass of limoncello.couldn't ask better
Add to this professional and caring staff!
To recommend

Excellent Cantonese restaurant with very good service. Our waiter, Andy was very courteous and patient with our 2 noisy kids, and was very helpful in suggesting orders for our kids and family.

I have eaten in many chinese restaurants all over the world, and quality of service, dedication and professionalism expressed by their staff and especially Andy tops them all.

The food was also very good.

Their Roast Duck was one of the best I have tried, and perhaps on par with the famous London Fat Duck.

Also excellent was their Beef rice noodles.

I would definitely go back to eat there everytime I visit Melbourne, and would recommend my friends to as well.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary re

Great service and good food. Chose the more expensive option for lunch with wine pairing but if you have the space it is still great value!

We went here for lunch in a private room and were not disappointed. Warm greeting on arrival and great service throughout. Very attentive staff and really great food. Wines served with lunch were also great. The Chardonay was particularly very good. Would definitely recommend.

Very high quality Food and A+ service As good as the food i get on my business meeting in HongKong and Shanghai
