We found this place off the strip, and it was a great find. More reasonably priced than Cafe Ba Ba Reeba, but I'm sure their location has a lot to do with that. The ahi tuna skewers were good, caamarones a la diabla are nice and spicy, and of course I had to have dessert... the caramel flan was perfectly creamy and tasty. I wasn't a big fan of the crispy duck rolls... duck is already oily and this fried roll was way too much for me.

Stayed here for the Steelers game and the best thing I can say is the location is great. Other than that everything else was pretty terrible. The elevators take so long (at least a 10-15 minute wait), the beds are extremely soft, the walls are so paper thin that I actually thought our shower was running when in fact it was the people next to us. Also, I happen to notice some black mold growing around the AC vent and along the wall. I wouldn't step foot in this place again.

Not what it used to be. I had the Thursday special of boneless pork ribs. They were rock hard and dry. Service was everything I remembered, excellent. Amy did a great job overcoming poor quality and I would return for the service and deep dish apple pie.

Of all of the Flo's restaurants in the Valley, the McDowell Mountain Village location is my favorite. It's located on the northeast corner in the same plaza as AJ's, so parking can be a bit trying during peak eating times. I've never been disappointed with the food at Flo's. It's easily the best affordable Chinese food here and even rivals some of the best places in the Bay area. My personal favorite is the lemon pepper chicken, which is delicately tart. The kung pao is also pretty fantastic. No matter where you go on the menu, it's hard to go wrong here. One of the best things about Flo's is that you can substitute tofu into any of the menu items, or ratchet up the spiciness with no fuss by the staff. It's refreshing that they're so accommodating. Prices are normally pretty reasonable, especially given what you're getting. Dinner is in the $10-15 range for the most part. However, on Saturdays, Flo's runs a crazy lunch special from noon to three: $5 lunch! For five little Washingtons, you get a nommy house salad (with a tart herb dressing), crackalicious won tons and your choice of entree with rice. Even at lunch portions, it's still a good amount of food. I typically take half home with me. The rest of the week, most of the lunch menu is $7, which is still a steal. Happy hour (half priced drinks and appetizers) is on weekday afternoons from three to seven. There is typically a short wait for lunch at Flo's, but service is quick and efficient. The restaurant is always clean, and although it can get noisy at lunchtime, I have never found it difficult to carry on a conversation here.
