I'm somewhat skeptically giving this 4 stars. IN the end, the food was great and it was a very good value, but the experience was tarnished. Here's the deal. I arrive at 6pm and the valet turns me away altogether because they are overwhelmed because they have a private event at the restaurant and can't handle the cars. I had... more

The food is good, totally Americanized but I've been there more than any other Chinese restaurants in Chicago. more

Dragonfly Restaurant on Randolph Street in Chicago is the best Chinese/Mandarin food I have ever had. In addition, if you request your dish to be made a special way i.e. extra spicy, noodles instead of rice, etc. they honor your requests. The waitstaff is very helpful, friendly and efficient (if you're not sure what to order ask for their recommendations).... more

The appearance was pleasant enough, with glowing red lanterns and columns illuminating the space. The seating area was pleasantly crowded on a Saturday night. The service was reasonably prompt but... more
