Dragonfly Mandarin has taken the true Chinese dining experience to the next level. A Gold Coast transplant, the unique restaurant/lounge hybrid has been open for a little over two years now in the West Loop and has quickly become the choice destination for a perfect combination of traditional Chinese cosine and late-night festivities. The emphasis here is to preserve the authenticity of classic Chinese cuisine. The sauces are subtle with the freshness and
the high quality of the food prevalent with every bite. Each plate is delivered with pristine presentation. The atmosphere is charming and seductive, with a modern attitude. The overall experience is unique and memorable. Winner three years in a row for Best Chinese Restaurant in Chicago on Citysearch.com & Msn.com. Open seven days a week. Lunch 11am - 5pm. Dinner 5pm - 11pm. Street and Valet parking available. Delivery and take-out available everyday.
832 W. Randolph St. in the infamous Randolph St. dining district

great $9 lunch special!

what a deal! for $9, you get your choice of soup, appetizer, and entree. and the portions are not skimpy at all so it’s potentially two meals for $9. the food is americanized chinese so don’t expect authentic chinese when you dine here, but it’s still alright food.

the ambience is trendy fine-dining w/a chinese theme a la asian lanterns and dark wood decor.

i don’t know if i’d come here for dinner (being americanized chinese cuisine and all), but the lunch special is mighty tempting.

Dishes I tried:

mango chicken

i didn’t realize this was deep-fried, so i couldn’t enjoy this dish as much as i wanted to. the mango chunks and maraschino cherries was a nice touch, but the sauce was a little too sweet for my delicate tastebuds. chicken wasn’t the freshest either.

egg roll

black peppery, cabbage-filled, as big as a twinkie (for lack of a better comparison) if not bigger.

corn egg drop soup

Great food and ambiance

Everyone’s been talking about the Chinese food at this place so I decided to take my date here. She’s Chinese and I knew she would either love/hate it and luckily we both agreed the food was fantastic!! I had the seafood platter – really reasonably priced for its offerings and she had the mooshu vegetables and tofu since she’s vegetarian. My dish came with so many sides and the scallops were delicious, I don’t normally like vegetables but I couldn’t stop picking off her plate! We liked dragonfly so much we decided to stay after dinner at the lounge and called a few friends to join us. As it got later there was some kind of promotion going on with this new drink tyku, they were giving us all free shots!! The gave it to us straight up but it went down so smooth!! The girls loved it and the guys loved not having to buy the girls drinks for awhile. So glad I decided to come last friday.

The variety of offerings was great and all the little side dishes really enhanced the flavor of the seafood. The sauce was the best part, I wish they would drizzle that over everything!
