dragonfly

came here with a bunch of people. we chose the $78/pp menu, it was fantastic, especially ginger soy chicken! everyone was happy! will definitely come back!

dragonfly was very underwhelming. good for meat eaters but the vegetarian dish was awful. so average and such a rip off at 30 dollars for some flavourless tofu steaks with zucchini. the side of korean brocolli was overcooked and bland. i had t get salt and pepper for the table myself.
the ambience was really cool and the waitstaff did their job okay, were friendly but could be a little more attentive.
i feel like it was just such a rip off and there were only two vegetarian mains.
the potatoes were good.

the interiors of this place just absolutely blew me away before i even sat down. such a neat place with a hidden backyard that is wonderful for a date night! the vegan thai green curry was absolutely delicious with the coconut rice. not a fan of the woap special cocktail but the pineapple foam helped me finish it, and the cocktail tasting tray is a great idea for anyone that’s a fan of cocktails!

asian fusion, but not as you know it. dragonfly offers a diverse menu, with tempting mains and share plates. i opted for some small dishes, as i didn't have a large appetite. potatoes in a coconut sauce was new for me, and surprisingly it worked very well. excellent cocktails. professional and prompt service throughout the night.

saturday night dinner with my partner. we didn’t book but got a nice table. friendly & attentive service.
really tasty food - we had a few dishes to share : mushroom bao’s, okonomiyaki, seared tuna, duck spring rolls and jasmine rice. plus a couple of yummy cocktails followed by a glass of white wine & beer.

first time here today and omg the food is just so
amazing and delicious, everything is so fresh and wakes up your tastebuds! we were greeted and showed to our table as soon as we walked in and our orders were taken pronto. love the ambiance and the feel of the place, it’s just so lovely, the drinks we ordered were refreshing and the entree followed not long after that which was just wow..delicious !!!!!!! i absolutely loved the perking mushroom bao’s, it’s a must try, the buns are so soft and every bite is full of deliciousness! the ginger chicken dumplings are so very delicious and so was the 3 cheese parcels, don’t think i’ve ever had such great dumplings before!!! our mains were super yummy as well and so was the dessert, the plum and tamarind tart which my boy ordered was so delicious that i regret not ordering one for myself. i have used the word “delicious” so many times because it just is !!!! some of the best food i’ve have had in ages, it’s just mouthwatering. i really can’t wait to go back and try more. it’s a 10/10 for me overall.

came here for wellington on a plate, tried the bangkok burger, paired with garage project dfa and it was amazing. the various elements of the dish went together so well. to give you an idea i normally never even touch coriander, but with this dish so perfectly balanced, i actually ate the raw coriander along with the clareville pandan bun, thai green curry crumbed deep fried free range chicken chicken, shallots, green papaya, coconut and lime relish, pickled green pepper, spiced eggplant. imo this burger beat the competition by a country mile. served with shoestring fries sprinkled with nahm jim salt. absolutely delish! wanna try the other mains now. very impressed

went here last night with my partner for dinner, the restaurant was all full so we were told to go down to the bar area which was way better than the restaurant anyway with the same menu.

service was impeccable, we were seated with menus and water straight away. orders taken and the server kept coming back with water and asking if we needed more drinks etc plus cleared away anything we were done with.

the food was beyond amazing! we had the twice cooked pork belly, edamame beans, asian greens, fried rice, chicken dumplings and prawn shumai. everything was delicious!

every cocktail we had was delicious too! china girl was my favorite of the evening!

will definitely be coming back here, i dont give 5 stars often because not many places blow me away but this one sure did!!

dragonfly is such a nice restaurant to go to with a group of people, you can try lots of different things from the menu. i would recommend the pork and chive dumplings, pork bao, pork and prawns and the asian greens

take out after too many martinins. korean fried chicken is good. pork bao i wouldnt bother with. three cheese parcels are insane! must have if you like sharp cheeses. dumplings were ok nothing crazy. egg fried rice also very good. would probably eat at the venue when i get back to wellington.

good service, friendly and quick. nice setting in the courtyard at the back. food was all good but the beef short ribs and and bao buns were amazing!

delicious food. served in a timely manner, no long waits. atmosphere was great, low lighting and not too loud. neat art on the walls too! def recommend this place, and we will be back. $140 for 3 of us, 2 entrees for the table, drinks each and mains. no room for dessert sadly.

we had the salmon and filet with roasted tomato. drinks and dessert completed a great evening. the atmosphere was fun but not to loud. great people watching at the bar and lobby area.

“ching ching bing bong”. enough said. yes, let’s perpetuate racial slurs in the 21st century and wave it off as having a sense of humour. funny how people get all up in arms over blackface and the swastika yet it’s funny to be racist to asians. i’m sure people will tell me to get over it because “the food is so good.” says more about wellingtonians than anything. wake the f up, capital city.

loved this place! food is delicious and well presented. service is great too. a bit pricey for the amount you get but definitely worth it. cocktails are a must-try!
