| - I too have been a loyal fan of Flo's for more than a decade, eating here every week for awhile when I worked in the area. Sadly, I can't say I'll ever eat here again. It's true, prices have gone up and the quality and consistency has gone way down.
The boyfriend and I visited twice in the past couple weeks. The first time, the only thing we really liked was the white rice and General Tso's (spelling?) Chicken. It was sweet, savory & spicy. The other menu items were a fail. Spring rolls were tiny (like as long as my pinky finger!) and I believe $4 for just TWO. The brown rice was mushy and overcooked. The Orange Beef was bland. Their orange sauce is definitely not as good as I remember, which used to be my favorite.
The second visit, last night in fact, we ordered General Tso's Chicken and Mongolian Beef. Unfortunately, the brown rice was again overcooked. C'mon guys... if I can make good brown rice myself with a crappy $30 rice cooker, what is your excuse?! The General sauce lacked the spiciness of the previous visit and was just OK. The Mongolian sauce was good, but the beef was mushy. It seems like they might soak it in meat tenderizer for a LONG TIME. Very weird consistency.
Seriously pains me to say that I won't be back. Very sad. :(
