Food was good but everything is over priced. You can get similar quality in another restaurant in Chinatown and cheaper. Most of the dishes are very small so you need to order double serve. The customer service was fantastic, especially Louis , he’s very friendly, caring and helpful. The chefs might need to try not to yell as customers can hear from the dining area 😅
A beautiful venue for the most delicious food! Never had dumplings that perfect & melt in your mouth! Peking duck skin so crispy and pancakes made table side. Service was impeccable. Couldn’t fault it, have told everyone it’s a Melbourne must!
Derek our server for the night was awesome, feels like meeting a long time lost friend as we both came from Hong Kong and talked a lot and he basically chose what we ate that night so it was his special “omakase” which was great. The price was below what u expected as well for the quality and quantity, would come back for sure if I stop by in MEL.
Treated myself to an 'Out of This World' dining experience last night at Melbourne’s ‘Flower Drum’ – This is a high end traditional Cantonese restaurant that has stood the test of time. Why? Consistently meticulously prepped Cantonese food that’s wheeled out on trolleys, and my Peking duck was prepared at the table with a few quick manoeuvres by the expert waiter. It’s practically performance art as you dine - not bad. Food was full of flavour and tasty, and a work of art. The Flower Drum’s mantra is a dedicated service that combines great food, fine wine, impeccable service for a unique dining experience each and every time – and it delivers in spades. This is not your everyday restaurant, but a special occasion spot to impress the family or out-of-town guests or simply treat yourself. Very highly recommended 👏👍😊
There is a very good reason why Flower Drum is a Melbourne institution.
This wonderful restaurant has been serving terrific food since the mid 1970s.
We were very well looked after by our waiter - the very hospitable and professional Barney. At the young age of 73, he's also been looking after Melbourne locals and visitors here for many decades. He made a great night even more memorable!
We have dined here a few times over the years and Flower Drum has never disappointed.
Here are a few photos from our recent visit.
Thanks once again Flower Drum.
We will be back soon! :-)

The food in this restaurant is very authentic. The menu is quite extensive and contains lots of choices for live seafood. The service at this place is impeccable. Every dish is served in individually-sized portions. Everything we ordered was very tasty. It was an excellent meal.
Everytime we go to the Australia Open, we visit Flower Drum and it has been consistently good every single time. We have been around 5 times since 2019, and have left impressed after every visit. The service is exceptionally and so is the food. Not surprised by all the awards!
