Dragon Boat Restaurant

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!

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.

You have to order yum cha dishes as opposed to picking ones you like when dishes are brought to your table. Staff are friendly. The food were OK, not excellent.

Service was okay. I find it expensive and servings was small. But the taste especially the beef pepper was really nice.

Yum charrrrr is alll good, take away is king! I hope the cbd will rise again!

My FIRST EVER bad review. I was hungry and cold on this rainy day and ordered a congee which supposed to be warm and comforting. Unfortunately the congee was extremely SALTY and I couldn't even finish one spoon of it. I asked for some plain congee to dilute the saltiness and they could only offer hot water. Still too salty after adding water so I gave up. It's salty to the point that it's getting bitter. Cost me $11 for a very small bowl of congee which I couldn't eat at all. Very disappointed.

I have been coming to this place so many years. The owner is very honest and friendly. Especially the food is sensational. You will be amazed how fast the service is. I would recommend all to my relatives and friends.

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.

Possibly one of the very few places open on Christmas Day. Typical Chinese joint with overworked and angry workers who couldn’t seem to care less about service. However, they do their job and that’s all. It took them 5 mins to notice our presence and another 10 mins to order. The 15% extra charge was clearly stated at the entrance which we have no objections. Had the venison ginger and spring onion it was okay but lack of ginger, sweet sour pork delicious crunchy pork but tad bit too sweet, veggie which was just greens anyway, sour spicy soup. It was more of the comfort food than anything else... I was super thirsty though after dinner. Drank so much water so I suspect the MSG and sugar used is really, really high. For that, I can’t rate them more than 3 including the average service.

Amazing lil restaurant, been brought to ot ever since I was a child, love the delicious food they have there, the Amazing workers and especially the manager. However due to construction it is hard to find parking, otherwise 10/10 would recommend Food: 5/5
