    Visited few months back and the food was overall okay a touch and go in my opinion,the soup which was kind of noodle broth was okay,the manchow soup was also okay,the corn 🌽cornets was amazing it wasn't spicy,it was little sweet but it was great and then the mushroom 🍄 momos 🥟 had one insect in it had to return it back and we refused to replace and then tried the szchewan fried rice and chilli paneer semi gravy both where quiet okay nothing so special just a normal item and had better these same two items in other places,had red bull with that as well,the place is okay in terms of food,but the service and staffs are quiet rude sometimes they won't listen at all whoever the guests are calling,and then the food is okay.

    This is a place where you can find thai and Chinese food and the best part is this place is completely vegetarian so people who are fond of vegetarian restaurant can definitely check this out. Let's get to the food, flowerdrum has a good ambience with comfortable seating across the restaurant. This is a good place to hangout with friends and family. The quantity and quality of the food is worth the penny you pay and also please expect the quantity of food to be on the higher end as they provide a pretty good of then. They don't accept reservations on Saturday and Sunday as the restaurant will be fully packed so they provide on first come first serve basis. Overall you'll find a quality time. I tried out paneer kimchi, wonton wrapped paneer and crispy fired baby corn and sweet corn soup. Only thing I was concerned was the baby corn which was too oily apart from that the food was great.

    Food was amazing and authentic !! Loved the lotus flower dish (went mainly for that only :P) Soups were also good and quantity was abundant too! The place was quite big and the only issue was the people who were around us making quite an huge amount of noise and was running the ambience :/ Also the place looks really fishy from outside bcos of poorly maintained building, but the restaurant was maintained clean and tidy. So don’t worry 😅

    Best vegetarian restaurant. The food was more than enough in quantity. The best part is the icecream they serve. We can go there for the icecream alone. It was that good.

    The quantity of the food was very good comparing other Chinese outlets but the taste was somewhere lacking . Tried chili ginger noodles and Manchurian noodles was kind of plain in taste

    Visited this amazing place with my family. They have amazing exclusive veg. chinese options. Probably the best Tom Yum soup I had of my life. Portion size, taste, ambience, service - everything is 5 star. Oriental cuisine enthusiasts should definitely visit this place.

    Food was good. But, Chinese food isn't this spicy. Looks like the chef has opted for spice for Chennai people. Having tasted authentic Chinese food elsewhere, I found it quite spicy. Nevertheless, the food was tasty. We went in at the right time. It got filled up quite fast.

  • 4/5 kavya a. 1 month ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    One of my favourite pan asian restaurants in town. Decent ambience and wide menu. I have tried few of their starters but the stuffed mushrooms and dimsums are pretty good. In the main course the flower drum special fried rice is quite amazing to the point that I order it every time I visited. The food may seem bit pricey but the quantity more that sufficient for 2 people so it balances out. Over all a good experience. Would be better if they had restrooms and was area in the restaurant but had to go to different floor for that.

  • 4/5 RAMU GOKULA K. 2 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    I had such a wonderful experience. This is the perfect place for Chinese food enthusiasts – the dishes are authentic, the atmosphere is delightful, and the service is excellent. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Nitin D. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice only vegetarian Chinese and Thai Restaurant in Chennai. Delicious dishes. Must try. Highly Recommended

  • 5/5 Vikram S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great Chinese and Thai food. Manchow fried rice was really good. It's vegetarian which is amazing because there are very few places that do Chinese and Thai without any non vegetarian options.

  • 5/5 Yesha G. 4 months ago on Google
    Food is Indo Chinese. But the taste here is so good. Anytime we go, it is full capacity. Taste is been consistent. Quantity of food is also good. Recently they’ve introduced thai food too. Food ambience cleanliness and service are all good. Can visit frequently. Family and friends friendly.

  • 5/5 Aishwarya G. 2 years ago on Google
    It's wonderful to see a restaurant with so many vegan options. The food tasted heavenly. It's truly refreshing to eat at an Asian restaurant that doesn't serve meat/non-veg. I hope they continue like this. Will definitely be visiting again for this very reason.

  • 5/5 WCA HEAD O. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice super vegetarian food. Good service. No parking problem. Clean and hygienic

  • 4/5 Shyamala A. 2 years ago on Google
    Service was good. Greater portions of quantity is usually served for the price charged. Dishes had the authentic Chinese & Thai flavors.

  • 1/5 Vijayalakshmi M. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is good.. Need to improve the taste a lot...not feeling as Chinese cuisine. They dont have their own rest room and complex wash room was very worst. At the least they should provide finger bowl on considering the situation.

  • 1/5 Priyankaa J. 2 years ago on Google
    We have been standing here for more than 40 min but no one is even standing to guide or tell us how much do we have to wait. When found an empty table and asked the waiter and the cashier, they didn't bother to reply properly and walked away rudely.is this the way you guys treat your customers ??

  • 5/5 Darshan T. 2 years ago on Google
    My favourite vegetarian Chinese restaurant for over a decade. The food is also delicious and the staff are over the top courteous. Should definitely try if you haven't been here.

  • 2/5 Surendran S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food fine but rest room for hand wash is not available inside the restaurant

  • 5/5 Shruthi R. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely loved it. Amazing food and so tasty. Worth the money.

  • 3/5 Vineet S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food taste was good , but inside resturant light should be increased as it's too low due to which u can't see properly the food as a result u may end up eating insect or mosquito. As I had experienced this with me on my last visit. A alive mosquito fell in my empty bowl & flew away. So pls increase the in resturant lights.

  • 5/5 Rahul G. 2 years ago on Google
    Do you like Chinese food and good ambiance experience. Flower drum is the place. Staff are super cooperative.

  • 3/5 Lisa Rose N. 6 months ago on Google
    This Pan Asian restaurant is tucked away inside Prince Plaza. Once you enter Plaza you'll feel the smell of Madras ! Flower drum place was very aesthetic, beautiful atmosphere although their service was very very very poor. All waiters were occupied in their phone , everytime we had to call someone to order. The plates they gave me had hair 🥲 and I asked them for a different one. Sparkling Spinach - Simple yet delicious , Must try ! 4.5/5 Corn And Spinach cheese Momos- There was no cheese , just corn and spinach for this they charged 340/-🥲2/5 Their Glass noodles - Spicy to the core! Cannot even eat it ! Not recommended 1/5 We had no other way but to buy a drink since it was very spicy. We opted for Lemon Mojito, was refreshing 4/5.

  • 4/5 Valar D. 8 months ago on Google
    Been there a couple of times with friends and family. Everyone liked the food. Loved the honey chilli potatoes, noodles, soup. Quantity is a lot 💯 so anyordered dish can be shared and fill you up. The atmosphere is on the darker side but I dig it because you don't get to see a lot of pure-veg Chinese restaurants, glad I came across this restaurant while living in Chennai.

  • 1/5 amit j. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff was arrogant right from the start. We asked if a table was empty for 5 people. They replied no its full. At a quick glance i could see 3 tables empty. We asked further he said its full and no service, its closed you can leave. So yeah we had to leave. Very disappointed about it. The thing is they serve good food and people love coming for it every now and then. But now they have just lost respect for their customers they just behave as if you are there for free food. And it has happened to many others.

  • 5/5 Shobana Priyadharshini N. 1 year ago on Google
    Very Good Restaurant to try Pure Veg Chinese authentic food. You will think of coming again n again. Try it

  • 1/5 Manju M. 2 years ago on Google
    We had been there for dinner. The soup was good. The rest of the food was not so good. When only 3 tables were full the service was better, but as people started coming in we had to wait for a long time. Not a good service. We won't visit this place again.

  • 5/5 Manoharan Balasubramaniam (. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the finest Chinese restaurant in Chennai inside once famous Prince Plaza, Egmore. Wide choices in Menu. Moderate crowd

  • 5/5 Sourabh K. 7 months ago on Google
    Best place for vegetarian Chinese food in Chennai. The service and quantity is very good. Even they serve jain almost all items which is very rare to see. Highly recommended this place for all Chinese food lovers

  • 5/5 Vishali Shyam m. 2 years ago on Google
    The best part of Prince plaza is this restaurant. Love that they serve vegetarian Chinese and Thai food. I have been here twice and ordered a delivery to home from here once within this week. It’s that good. 🌱 Kimchi cottage cheese Mee goreng Manchou soup Soup and Lotus steam starter 🤩🌱

  • 5/5 Hnb 10 months ago on Google
    I had visited their Egmore outlet in Prince Plaza and found it extraordinary in taste, service, courtesy and ambience. But when I see their menu list in KK nagar outlet I am scared because mostly I see Thai varieties. I like Chinese which I enjoyed in Egmore outlet but not sure whether k k nagar has only Thai varieties which I don't nourish. I was told that their Adyar outlet too is splendid in every aspect.

  • 5/5 Jerome K. 1 year ago on Google
    An Heaven for vegetarians, this a Chinese vegetarian restaurant, usually it's hard to find a vegetarian restaurant with Chinese cuisine, but here it is. The cost is bit high but the quality and quantity of the food item is worth it. Each dish will cost you 330 on an average. This restaurant is situated in prince complex which is situated in a busy area hence for parking it will be difficult for you if you come in car. You will also be charged a parking fees. overall the experience in flower drum is fantastic and worth it

  • 5/5 Naren N. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food, real Thai and Chinese flavour. Wanton soup must try. Dragon chilli tofu. Quantity 1 fried rice can be shared between two people. Food is really tasty

  • 4/5 roshini s. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome Chinese vegetarian place. Though the prices are high the serving portions make it reasonable. The dishes are tasty. The service and ambience fit the place. All in all will be back again

  • 4/5 Shreepriya K. 1 year ago on Google
    Had visited for our offspring's birthday... Really good food, nice ambience and comfort. Service was ok but I guess they have lesser people to help on weekdays as compared to weekends...Good quantity.. worth the price.. All in all, we had a good time. Thank you, Flower drum. Keep it up.

  • 2/5 Divyansh B. 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere and the ambiance is good the food used to be good It's all sweet now even after giving the instructions for adding spice, disappointed after facing the same issue multiple times. It's good for the kids and also for the people who prefer Chinese food WITHOUT spice or less spicy

  • 5/5 Sarla U. 1 year ago on Google
    This one of the best restaurant to eqt all kinds of south-east asian cuisine. It has a very good quality food with a good atmosphere. They even provide chopsticks and different sauces. The price is affordable mostly but a little expensive in some cases such as momos. They have noodles for everyone from spicy-philes to mild-mealers. The quantity of food is also very large in the ratio of money paid and the service is medium-paced. This is a must try restaurant.

  • 5/5 Vinodh K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very expensive veg Chinese restaurant. But their oriental cuisine (soups, starters, salads, rice, noodles, momos, gravies, and dessert) and ambience are awesome. Ideal for get togethers with family, friends, birthday celebrations (they have a separate section with a large table).

  • 4/5 vidya k. 1 year ago on Google
    Liked the place. A rare find .. vegetarian Chinese cuisine.. Loved their Manchow soup , pepper mushroom starters and Thai food and noodles. Must try . Their stir fry was amazing too.

    The place will make you spell bound. The ambience, food, I can say it's a vegetarian paradise. Offering Thai and Chinese cuisines that too in variants ranging from normal to spicy .... It will definitely leave you with a mouth watering experience. The smoothies, blenders are on a whole different level which are so amazing.

    Bad experience I ordered for thai curry but the rice came with hair and later ordered chow mien noodles but the plate was having mosquitos upon asking the staff why is that so he replied that now they have put the spray for mosquito replant . I asked the number for the owner and the Cashier guy is started to argue . The standard of the restaurant has come down. It’s like opening new place is great thing but to maintain the old ones which gave you the base and brand.
