Dragon well is a cute, intimate restaurant that would be great for date night or taking an out of town family member to a nice dinner! It’s a great spot for taking out of town visitors for a great culinary treat! The service is second to none with friendly servers and great ambience!

Been here a ton over the years, have yet to have a bad experience. Lunch specials are a great value and the food is always done to perfection.

The food lacked flavor and the service was slow, even though I was the only one in the restaurant at 5pm. I’ve also never seen pancakes for the mushu pork made this way at a Chinese restaurant. They only gave me 4 of them and they were not typical Chinese pancakes. They reminded me of poorly made flour tortilla. It’s expensive for the quality of food you get.

Upscale Chinese food in a pleasant modern restaurant. We had restaurant-made egg rolls, fried calamari, walnut prawns (WOW!!!), Kung Pao fried tofu, and string beans. Everything was tasty, with a friendly and highly attentive staff. The owner came to ask us how everything was. Don’t miss this one!

High priced for what you get… everything lacked flavor and the only flavor that came through over barringly was onions. Even in the hot and sour soup which I didn’t expect. $13 for a few crab wontons that only tasted like onions. $75 meal for two, that left me disappointed. And had to eat outside because we didn’t have a vaccination card. The service was nice though. The young Asian waitress was so kind and full of good recommendations. And they did bring us a heat lamp outside.

We sought out the Dragon Well for their gluten free menu, as it is very difficult to find gluten free Chinese food.

We wanted traditional Chinese food and we got it here. I love how the front windows are open to the outside so you get that feeling of eating on a patio. Our waitress, Hailey was wonderful. She was always attentive to our needs and had great suggestions when I wasn’t sure. The food was excellent! I will definitely eat there again when I’m visiting S.F.

Great value, great food! We ordered 3 dishes – hot and sour soup, curry vegetable noodles and garlic eggplant. All 3 dishes were large portions and came out hot and fast. Total bill was $55 for 3 people, we were all stuffed (ate too much because the food was so tasty) AND had enough leftovers for 1-2 more meals. Tbh I was shocked at how good of a value this was, for an expensive area of SF. Bonus – they have a bunch of different yummy sauces including chili oil. One of my most surprisingly good meals in SF.

Good but not as good as I remember it when I used to work nearby about 10 years ago and often came for lunch. Walnut prawns were as good as always but the sweet beef was somehow off, not bad but flavors not well balanced. Duck was quite dry and quite small portions. My daughter liked the pot stickers but I found them way over-doughy. For two apps, chow mein and two main courses and a tea $140 before even counting a tip is quite steep. And at these prices you’d think a basic simple tea would be included but you have to order tea off the menu for about $8.
