“ I got the beef and broccoli combo .huge portion. My plate was 12.00 I also got a side of chili oil for 50 cent. ”
“ I was pleasantly surprised by my meal at Flower Drum! I’ve driven past this place almost daily but never stopped in until a friend recommended it. I usually go for General Tso’s Chicken, but after reading some reviews, I decided to try the Flower Drum Chicken Dinner Special—and I’m so glad I did. The portion size was impressive! For $12.99, I got a generous serving of chicken, rice, broccoli, and an egg roll. I’ve ordered specials from other places before, and it always feels like you’re getting less food for the lower price, but that wasn’t the case here. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be recommending Flower Drum to others. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! ”
“ I am from St. Louis, where Chinese food is particularly good. This is one of the only places in Toledo with food similar to my home. So far, all beef, chicken, and shrimp dishes I have tried are amazing. Particularly the Beef mushroom onion with rice Beef and shrimp lo mein Chicken fried rice Chicken wing (appetizers) Egg rolls/ crab rangoons/ dumplings I'll be trying some of the traditional Chinese/cantonese recipes on the menu Like kung pao san yan Which is basically Chinese. Chicken/ beef/shrimp stir fry in kung pao sauce Or Char Sue ding Which translates to Chinese diced BBQ pork ”
