"This saddens me because my dad use to love to eat here since I was younger, and I hadn’t been here in years but never had a bad experience in 20 yrs prior decided we were ordering take out. Let me tell you I regret ever talking my family into ordering here. I finally decided to drive out the way to get dinner for my family and it was absolutely horrible. I don’t care what the reasons for the quality of the food were. Hell it could have been because it was close to 9pm but I would have rather them not take the order then serve us oily over cooked and sauced mess. All the food was over cooked and chewy. The breading on all the meat was soggy from the extreme excessive sauce put on everything. Only thing edible was the sweet and sour chicken because it was unsauced. Even fried rice tasted old. The crispy beef was so soggy the white stuff they put under it for decoration was soggy and drenched in sauce. I was extremely disappointed that this was my family’s first time eating Flower Drum and damn sure will be the last. Like how do you not even have filling in the crab ragoons!! They were free and we couldn’t even enjoy that. Waste of 70$. Would have been better off eating at the other three Chinese food places we past to get to there. No restaurant should ever serve this type of nonsense and get away with it. It was takeout so that’s all I really can review is the horrible food. Update: it is 6am and everyone in my house has been throwing up since 2-6 am after they ate the little bit that they tried to from flower drum This was a horrendous experience."

"The Shu Mai came out quickly enough but damn, there was pork in it (I didn 't see that in the menu description). So I told the waitress that I don 't eat pork and she quickly apologized and took it off the bill. She gets points for that one. Shortly thereafter, the Phad Thai came out and when that aroma hit my nose I knew it was going to be good...real good. The noodles were cooked perfectly with plenty of chopped peanuts, bean sprouts,scallions and several large butterflied shrimp. We 're talking all around excellence in flavor with a good presentation. I 'm also pleased to say that I specified Thai spicy and it came out just like I wanted it. No dumbing down like so many other places do. This is definitely one of the better Phad Thai 's I 've had in Columbus Ohio. It 's $12.95 for a good sized, flavorful dinner portion. Prices are about what I would expect for the portion, quality and type of restaurant. The fabric palm trees scattered about are kinda tacky but other than that, the restaurant is tastefully decorated. The white tablecloths with sheets of white paper over them give this restaurant an upscale but casual feel. You would not be embarrassed to bring a date here. If you are looking for some very good Phad Thai and you 're in the Powell area on Sawmill....this restaurant is definitely worth your time and money. Tip 1: They have 1/2 off bottles of wine on Monday nights with purchase of two entrees through the summer months. Tip 2: Be aware that they close between lunch and dinner."
