Yum Cha at Dragons is an amazing and delicious experience. The staff do an amazing job of keeping the dishes coming with many many options to choose from. So many different steamed, fried and roasted options, and very reasonably priced. Normally a group of 4 or more could expect to be very satisfied with a budget between $16 -$22 per person, depending on how many high value dishes are chosen. (The pork belly and roast duck are amazing, but 2 of the pricier options, saying that one pork belly is cut into bitesize pieces and is large enough for 6 or 8 people to have a few pieces each). Can't recommend this place enough, I jump at the chance to go here for lunch.

Their dinner menu is equally fantastic. I've only had dinner here 3 times, but each time I've been blown away. The portion size is very generous on the mains, so you can deliciously look forward to left overs the following day for lunch or dinner. The orange beef is one of the best I've had in Wellington.

Whether lunch or dinner the Jasmine tea is refilled regularly, there are a bunch of other drink options, but the tea complements the dishes so we'll it's usually all we order.

The front of house staff are also absolutely awesome, always willing to try and accommodate customer requests, welcoming, and efficient. The entire operation runs smoothly, and I can't wait to go back and try a new dish.

This restaurant was obviously popular with the local folks. Stepping into the restaurant and it feels like any other regular Chinese restaurants. ◾steamed fish with superior soy sauce - it actually tasted pretty good with the fresh fish and good grade soy sauce. ◾Sweet & sour pork - kids love it so why not? ◾Roasted pork belly - compared to the ones we find in Malaysia, their version was thicker but still good. While I prefer the roasted pork in its original taste, I think that New Zealanders like it with sweet sauce ◾braised taufu with seafood ◾stir fried long beans with dried shrimp

One word of caution - the portion was huge for all the dishes as per western standard. We could not finish the dishes and had to takeaway in the end. Nonetheless, this is definitely the most popular Chinese restaurant in the capital of...
