Dragons Restaurant
About the Business
Welcome to Dragons Restaurant, a renowned establishment located at 25 Tory Street, Wellington, New Zealand. As a popular food destination and point of interest, Dragons Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience for locals and tourists alike.
At Dragons, we take pride in our commitment to providing exceptional service and delectable cuisine. Our menu showcases a wide range of Chinese dishes, with a special focus on Yum Cha, the traditional Cantonese brunch. Yum Cha, which literally means "drink tea" in Cantonese, is not just a meal but a celebration of food culture.
Each item of Dim Sim, a key component of Yum Cha, is painstakingly handcrafted by our skilled chefs. These small portions of steamed, pan-fried, and deep-fried dim sum dishes are served in bamboo steamers, creating a communal dining experience that is best enjoyed with a cup of Chinese tea.
Dragons Restaurant holds true to the roots of Yum Cha, tracing back to the Xianfeng Emperor era when tea establishments were referred to as "1-cent houses." Over time, these houses evolved into tea parlours, combining entertainment and Cantonese cuisine. We strive to keep this tradition alive by offering an authentic "old school" Yum Cha experience.
In addition to our commitment to quality, we also value our customers. We are pleased to offer a 10% discount to staff members of Weta Cave, Weta Digital, Xero, Te Papa, Fujifilm, Spark, Trade Me, and ANZ from Monday to Friday. Please note that this discount is not applicable on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, and cannot be used in conjunction with set menus or large group functions. Staff members must present their identification card before payment to avail the discount.
We also want to keep you informed about any changes to our operating hours. In the event of a private function, we may be closed to the public. Please check our Facebook page for updates to see if we are closed on a particular day or evening.
So, the next time you say "let's go yum Cha," we invite you to visit Dragons Restaurant. We look forward to providing you with a memorable dining experience that combines the rich flavors of Cantonese cuisine with warm hospitality. See you soon!

"If you haven’t been to Dragons Restaurant I say why not? Go , run but book a table first as most know how great this place is! Best service , food and atmosphere! No trip to Welly would be complete with out a visit! Thanks again for another happy visit :)"
"Mostly meat and fish dishes but has several lovely vegetarian dishes. The plum wine is excellent. Jasmine tea pot is regularly topped up only one charge. Some Lovely desserts to choose from. Dishes are good servings and ability to take home what was too much"
"Usual Chinese Yum Cha place. Food was ok. I mean, the usual dim sum fare. Some were really good and some weren't that great. Worth a try if you like Yum Cha. It's really packed though so bookings recommended."
"We got a table for 2 quickly without a booking on a Saturday and the service and food was great as always. It's my favourite Welly yum cha restaurant and have been coming here for years."
"Good food and service! Expensive food, the portion seems like has became smaller especially the pecking duck, plus no crackers. All our food were served all together, feels like there was a rush to get us out the door."
