What Robert Joly dislikes about Flower Drum:
I dine in the restaurant late October 2022. Extremely disappointed. Seated at my table more than 40mins , without a waiter or waitress attending. Had to ask for a menu , the waiter was shocked. They had forgotten us.I dont care how good the food can be , with services like this , the restaurant don't even deserve to be rated 1 star . View all feedback.

We had excellent Chinese cuisine with attentive service this evening. We liked being well spaced from other diners and the restaurant is most attractive in an understated way. The approach though is deceptive being in a lane which at night is poorly lit.We highly recommend Flower Drum.

It's another restaurant that will persistently gives you good service and quality Chinese food, though there will never any surprise ( good or bad), but at least you know what to expect and you will have an enjoyable and predictable night, which is extremely important nowadays. Not many 5 stars service can guarantee such kind of service nowadays! Some upmarket restaurants' waiting staff will give you attitude, where it will never happen in Flower Drum.
