We had an incredible dinner at Dragonfly in Wellington! The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was stylish yet cozy. We ordered the ginger chicken dumplings, sticky pork belly, chicken popcorn, and the dark chocolate dessert — every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. Everything was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience or night out with friends in Wellington One of best meals of my life, insanely good. Doesnt look like much from the outside, but great menu, very fast service, and incredible flavors. Highly reccomend. A Memorable Dining Experience Worth the Wait and Every Dollar I recently visited this bustling restaurant tucked away in a lively part of town, and despite its discreet signage, it’s well worth seeking out. It’s located right next to The Shady Lady Bar and Night Club so keep an eye out, as you might miss it until you’re right in front of the door. This place is clearly in high demand, always buzzing with activity. I had made a reservation several days in advance, and even then, it was challenging to secure a table in my preferred area the courtyard. Fortunately, the staff went out of their way to accommodate my request and managed to reserve a cozy spot for two. Their customer service was outstanding from start to finish. I was especially impressed by how organized their reservation process was. They sent timely reminder emails and even followed up for confirmation the day before our booking, something I really appreciated. Now, onto the food: everything we ordered was served warm and full of flavor. The sticky pork belly was a standout, easily one of the best I’ve ever had. We also enjoyed the pork dumplings and the Katsu Sando, all beautifully presented and equally delicious. To finish, we shared the Vietnamese mousse, which was the perfect end to a fantastic meal. This spot is ideal for couples, groups of friends, and families alike. While the overall experience was excellent, do note that it’s on the pricier side, so be prepared for a higher bill. That said, for the quality of food and service, it’s absolutely justified. Highly recommended. I’ll definitely be back!

We went for dinner and had no reservation but they happily get us a table and serve us. We ordered sticky pork belly, dumplings and katsu sando. The food was really good, taste nice and they did a great job on fusion cuisine. Everything jive together in terms of the sauce and textures. The amount of servings are good for 2 people and they brought the food really fast. We also ordered hot chocolate to top off our evening. The atmosphere is good for dates and intimate gatherings. Reservation is recommended if you are big groups.

An exceptional dining experience! The menu is designed for sharing, so we got 2 small and 2 main plates (+ rice) to share between the both of us, which we found was the perfect amount. Everything was fresh and delicious. The flavours of the sauces were very rich, meats that melted in your mouth, beautiful fresh veges. I loved everything. I'd definitely recommend the Japanese Golden Curry and 55 Day Aged Beef Short Rib in particular. The food is on the pricier side, but it was well worth it. Love the decor and moody lighting, creating a warm and cosy atmosphere. Staff were friendly and very attentive. They provided excellent service. Highly recommend!
