Review Dragon Boat Restaurant - Auckland Central

Lili Mann
Overall the food is very good - spring rolls were crunchy and not too oily, the roast duck is flavorsome but had too much skin & bones compared to meat, the bbq pork buns could be of better quality, and the mushroom rice rolls were mainly carrots which was disappointing. Was very impressed with their extensive opening hours, relaxed & clean restaurant, good customer service and didn't have to wait long at all for food to arrive, so worth coming back to in the future :)

We ducked into this restaurant after the restaurant that we planned to dine at was closed. However, the experience was just fine, the food was tasty and healthful, and it filled a perfect niche at the end of a full day of touring Auckland. This place can handle large groups, but the two of us felt just fine as the large space swallows up noise. The service was excellent, the food arrived hot and quickly, and we departed knowing that The Dragon Boat has fulfilled our expectations.

Absolute hidden gem! Good food and great prices compared to other places. Would definitely come back again. The radish cakes and sesame balls were amazing!

I've been here soo many times and ordered food to be picked up and bought to my home. It's quite frankly the best Yum Char in Aucklan CBD and is always fresh and totally delicious. I've got my favorite sticky rice in leaves on its way to me. I love their dumplings and actually all of their menu. Thankyou, your the greatest with such lovely service. 😍

This restaurant was one of the few that were open late on Elliot Street which was convenient. The waiter was very attentive and the food was pretty good but lacked flavour. There were a few vegetarian options on the menu but vegan ones weren’t labeled clearly. One thing that was not ideal is that we were charged an extra $2.50 for rice that would have normally come with a Lo Han Jai (monk’s dish) at other restaurants. The price is also a bit too steep for a restaurant of this quality. Though the venue is quite nice the portion sizes and quality of food served does not quite match the high end dining prices. Actually the first thing I noticed was that this restaurant serves shark fin and the live lobster tank was at the front of the restaurant so right off the bat I was a little bit repelled. I didn’t ask the staff about these dishes so I can’t comment further on how ethically these were sourced. Normally I wouldn’t give 4 stars but all things considered this is the most accurate rating I can give.

The restaurant was just across the street from our hotel. We weren't supposed to have lunch there but we saw that they served dim sum and we wanted to try it. Have eaten better dim sum in Auckland. Prawn dumpling, jellyfish salad and Roast duck were delicious. On the other hand fried crab dumpling and roast porc were a bit dry. Depending on who brought our food, some of the waiters/waitress were really friendly, welcoming and tried to make you enjoy your food and some couldn't be bothered.

In central CBD great Chinese restaurant. It's great that Dragon boat survived COVID. Dragon continues with fine food, authentic taste , good range of yum cha , very good service.

Decent place to have dinner, the Lobster is not bad. i am not sure about other stuff, i heard the dimsum is so so. Overall, the ambient is not bad, service is okay. The food we ordered were above average.

Have been hearing lots about this place, this is my first time actually eating here. Order some typical yamchar dimsum, honestly, not very impressive. I think the biggest advantage is the location so they have very good market demand during weekdays. Don't get me wrong, tastes good, just not impressed to me that's all.

I have tasted and sampled food from various countries in Auckland but this one caught my attention, as it is considered one of the best Chinese eatery in the city. Located in the heart of CBD, this one I went is an extension to the fine dining restaurant tucked behind this food court facing joint. The mini joint is haven for someone looking for quick lunch and authentic taste of China. My review of the place: Oh boy! I am happy I made the right decision, the food was scrumptious 😋 and affordable( cuz it is part of the food court). I have changed my mind with regards to Chinese food (the ones I ate in Mumbai, India is Indian Chinese which caters to the Indian palate). If this is what Chinese food taste like, my next dream destination is Shanghai! (IF we overcome the pandemic ;) PS: The lady who serves there is absolutely courteous and knows the food business!

Atrium has a large variety of shops. The food alley is great and there is always something new to try. The management staff on level 3 are always very friendly and helpful! Great place to shop, eat and drink :)

My favourite place to hang out, clean and wide varieties of dishes available in the food court. The warehouse ltd is also within making shopping handy.

I was so disappointed with the customer service of this place. The waitress was very very very rude and arrogant. She ignored me at first and when I took a tray, she stopped me and yelled at me “do not take that! WHAT DO YOU WANT???”... and she said that in front of other customers. I asked to speak for the manager to complain the attitude of the staff and another staff told me off saying “we are busy!” ... a very appalling experience and I will never recommend this place! The worst ever customer service I encountered in NZ,

Had a very bad experience there. The service was terrible. Meat was off. The woman at the counter completely ignored me. I'm just wondering how can they get any business there?
