fresh food..
i like most is early morning breakfast !
food quantity is appropriate & balanced
hospitable & very friendly staff.
one of the good place in dallas for good food
good place for quiet discussion

a wonderful choice to start the day is the standard breakfast. with bacon, eggs, heritage tomatoes, asparagus and english muffin, all beautifully presented with lots of eye appeal.

what an outstanding place. bit of a weird setup restaurant wise... but closed off which looses some potential atmosphere but no problem. started with tuna tataki which was some of the freshest you will have. we asked for the food to come out slowly as we were in no hurry however everything came out all at once from then on. chicken and ginger dumplings were great as were the pork buns but the highlight was the beef short rib. unbelievably tender fall of the bone stuff great flavours and no fat. potatoes in a coconut cream sort of sauce were the best asian potatoes i’ve ever had... nice on the outside but soft like mash potato on the inside. great joint.

wellington's most racist bar and restaurant.

even if the food was michelin star-worthy (which it certainly was not - the spring rolls and dumplings tasted pre-made), you simply do not operate a pan-asian restaurant (or any restaurant for that matter) in 2018 with a cocktail on the menu named 'ching chong bing bong'.

everyone who either works at or supports this establishment should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

good one to visit once a while. dumplings and beef dishes are the ones to try. salad with every dish is yum with an unusual addition of raw banana. suitable for a date night.

absolutely everything about this place is wonderful! rocked up a little early, so headed to the bar for drinks while waiting - not disappointed! and the food was even better! the red curry duck was amazing!

beautiful culinary experience at dragonfly. the asian fusion cuisine was beautifully portrayed in all the dishes we tried this evening. the pork buns were tasty although would have loved some more sauce. papaya salad was on point as far as flavours go. such a lovely refresher between bites of other dishes. chicken and ginger dumplings were a lovely texture and doused in a very yummy vinergary sauce. yum yum yum. cocktails were also mentionable. the waitress happily took our order for a bespoke cocktail which was also nice. lovely staff and attentive service. decor also a treat. great experience.

4 of us went to dinner on friday night. we did book and were advised we would be in the courtyard. after being a little apprehensive about were we would be placed we were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the courtyard is. the entire place was full. it appears to be a great place to go to after work for wonderful food.

the service was great, very attentive and helpful. the menu selection was awesome. when the food arrived we were all over the moon with the quality and flavours

highly recommend this as a place to eat

go there for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you will get the best food, friendliest and most professional service and excellent food. drinks are very, very good too. for a little more fun, visit on a weekend afternoon in the summer and you can participate in, or just observe the beautiful people of dallas frolicking in an aqueous environment. poolside bar service or bottle table service makes for one of the most fun afternoons you can spend in uptown.

i have came here quite a few times when i was back in welly and the staff are really friendly also the restaurant had a really calm and relaxing vibe, the salt and pepper chicken are to die for they might not be the best chicken wings i've had as i've had many, but it was still really good the slat and pepper seasoning with dipped in the chilli sauce they provide is amazing. overall one of the best sorta asian fusion type of restaurant in welly definitely recommend you give it a visit if in welly.

the atmosphere walking in was very zen. it was like all of us were about to walk through a calm hallway into a tranquil spa treatment, except for food of course!

we only ordered starters and desserts because we weren't very hungry to start with.

most of the food was absolutely delightful. i enjoyed the octopus takoyaki, it was crunchy on the outside and soft and melt-in-your-mouth on the inside. the bao buns were absolutely incredible and soft! the pork had the texture of butter. we also ordered the nori squid and we devoured that in minutes. it was succulent and juicy.

we ordered a sampler dessert and enjoyed most of it. the berry panacotta however had that funny fridge after-taste to it. perhaps storing some baking soda in the fridge might improve that? apart from that, the rest of the dessert was pretty impeccable.

we also ordered drinks like cocktails, wellington hot chocolate and tea. all was absolutely fantastic.

the service overall was really great and they showed a lot of initiative without us asking for more food/drinks/service.

overall, would recommend 10/10 would do it again.

the food here is amazing. i especially love the salmon two ways and the beef short rib. also loved the lychee cocktail. the dumplings aren't anything special.

this place has my absolute favourite cocktail (china girl) - a rich plummy concoction - and fabulous dumplings and other small sharing plates. the garden bar down the back is fantastic on warmer nights - if you can get a seat!

i think the owners sister was ex english teacher of jackie chan. the owner used to have another restaurant near niwa. this place offers oriental fusion dishes. dumpling is great and other dishes are nice. you need to book a table in advance as it is a full house every night. i seen many couples there as the lighting is cozy and wonderful place for couples. i took foreign guests there several times. it was a success. it can be a bit pricy but you will not make a mistake. highly recommended!

after dinner tonight me and my friend wandered in because we'd always walked passed it but had never been inside. restaurant was fully booked but thankfully we didn't have an appetite this time.

as for a few local bars like bodega, fat angel's and monsoon poon i'm always surprised how deep bars can be. as for dragonfly, the bar was located all the way at the back and featured a nice outdoor space with a large projector screen and a small army of waitstaff.

we were seated with water and a few menu's one with bar meals, wine & beers as well as a cocktail list. we agreed on getting the cocktail taster set which came with three concoctions: amondo, samuri sake and a ginger creme. my friend and i both favored different drinks with my choice being the sake because of its sweet sugary cheeriliscious reverb towards the end and right at the start. there was something about its balanced nodes and blunt sake rivalry that made the drink pretty dynamic. after this we brought two more of each the samuri sake and the amondo. the amondo was a bit lemony and basic for my tasting but after sipping the last few drops the drink is uplifted by a huge sugary syrup that kicks it to another place.


overall left feeling tipsy which was great, waitstaff were rather attractive and worked effectively as a team. the bar menu foldout was a cool party trick and the deep, dark and loomy bar was pretty good but of course was left light walleted. will return to check out the dinner menu very shortly, stay tuned.
