It was a new concept of food for us and we did enjoy the quirky and yuppie feel of the atmosphere. Very happening and great for a Friday or Saturday night!
Absolutely amazing food & service . Definitely will be coming back and recommending.. not too keen on the serving and price of the soft shell crab 😳.. but everything else, amazing.
Good food, great ambiance. Service and dining experience well worth the trip there. Suggest a visit will not disappoint. Book early for a good table.
Awesome food, fabulous service, definitely recommend to all to go and visit. All the food was amazing and can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.
Held a work function for 8 people. Excellent service and atmosphere. The food in the "Far East Feast" was delicious and came to the table in no time at all.
We had the pork belly and it was the best pork belly I have had, the dumplings and Bai buns were sensational. Service was excellent and food was bought out quick and fresh. Highly recommend a visit
We had the chef's choice banquet. There was plenty food & all of it was delicious. Atmosphere was great and the staff friendly & knowledgeable.
The food was absolutely divine, and the service was second to none. Our waitress was really lovely, and despite the restaurant being super busy, our food came really quick.
Awesome service , super accommodating, nothing was too much trouble , top notch food, will be back again for the 10th time without a doubt definitely a regular
Fantastic food and cocktails and great atmosphere. Sashimi was delicious! Staff were extremely helpful and we all had a great evening. Will definitely be going back.
We all loved it. Outstanding service, and every dish was delicious. Great variety of options on the menu too, including lots of GF ones. Will definitely be back.
Great food and service. Dwight is a most awesome host and makes us feel very welcome. The duck and the daily dumplings alone are worth a visit.
Had a great night out with friends. The food is so flavoursome definitely worth another visit, so glad your only around the corner from home
The Dainty Dowager was fantastic. The restaurant was very busy however the wait staff were so friendly and cheerful even though they were run off their feet. Nothing was a problem for them. The food was sensational, we came for a girls night and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
I'm a repeat visitor. I know that I'm always going to get treated with great food/drinks and amazing service. I'm also kind of in love the decor.
Brilliant, trendy little place. Popular, great decor, unusual cocktails with Asian twist and great fusion food. Loved it. Great value with Ebook voucher too !
It was very tasty food and presented really nicely on beautiful plates. The service was fast and friendly. i would definitely recommend it to my friends.
Staff weren't great and attentive. Thank you Qyan and the food was great. Would definitely return back for more pork and duck. Great wine selection
Service was fantastic. Dwight, the Food & Beverage Manager, was so helpful with food & wine choices - our meals & wine were amazing! I will be recommending Dainty Dowager to friends and family.
Very attentive staff and excellent selection of Asian fusion foods. Loved the cocktails and the ancient Chinese theme revolving around the dowager empress Cixi. Will return for sure!
Great food! However the service was somewhat lacking. Too many people not enough staff. We had to go to the bar to order drinks, and hunt down our own water and someone to order some dessert
Can't fault the food at all - delicious & fresh authentic flavours. Unfortunately, even though the service was good, my friends & I did not appreciate being kicked off our table after 1.5 hours. We still had food to finish & were made to rush & sit at a very crowded bar. We were told that we needed to make the table available for another booking, however this was not mentioned at the time of making a reservation. Quite disappointed for this reason & don't think we will return.
Food were delicious and has a great variety. Service were great where staffs are friendly and approachable. Nice ambient and good location on Beaufort Street
the food was excellent. Every dish had its own unique subtle blend of flavours. The only complaint is that all the hard surfaces made the venue noisy and not conducive to conversation. However, I would still visit it again. The venue should seriously consider some acoustic paneling to assist the ambiance
Had a great experience there. Food and service was excellent. Great selection of dishes in different sizes. Great selection on the drink menu. Will definitely return
We had the 'feast' which was very tasty and the food came out quickly. More than enough for our group of five. We didn't want any dessert and they allowed us to switch out items which was nice. Highly recommended
Always amazing food. Had the Far East Feast. So much food! Such amazing value for money. Highly satisfied with full bellies. One of my favourite Perth restaurants!
Fantastic service from our waitress, she addressed our dietary requirements promptly and when they were out of the wine we ordered, recommended another that was only available by the bottle, but she gave us one glass. The food was great too.
fantastic food ,good service i have been there three times never disapoited ;) will recommend to all family and friends and people i know cheers
Poor quality and presentation of food. A child could put that meal together with a few bottles of Asian flavoured sauces from Coles. Staff reaching across to take plates away without even asking to be excused a very poor show of serving manners and obvious disregard for patrons. Over priced, would never recommend or go there again.
Good tasty food. Efficient friendly service. Four of us had the feed me menu. Good variety. Only one miss for all of us. The Korean noodle with dried fish. Everything else was great.
We have the best food ever, few of the authentic recipes just so real. We have taste all the sweets and the 3 of them just so tasty. Not to mention what a great service!!
Food was rather greasy and uninspiring . Way too noisy if you want a conversation . Bad choice on my part. I'm sure some people love it, lots of buzz.
The service was friendly, funny and fast! The entree was amazing, main was pretty good, and dessert was ok, but I've never really had a good asian dessert! I'll definately come back again.
Had a great night. The food was delicious and service was fantastic. The lady serving us recommended the perfect combination of food and wine. Reccommend highly.
Amazing, fast, friendly and knowledgeable service. Absolutely fantastic, mouth watering, flavoursome food. I wanted to try everything :) Would highly recommend this restaurant and I will definitely return here again.
Great food & service. Very suitable beer & wine list generally good sized dishes to share. Staff are well versed re the menu. Will be back for sure
Daintys food is fresh and tasty, great choice for vegetarians. The surroundings is modern and comfortable. The service is fantastic, friendly but efficient. Spot on, thank you
We went for a "date night" dinner. Staff were fun and great. Good awesome. Cocktails were very different and great! Would come back again. Loved it.
Good food, good service. Had a highchair for kids. Great atmosphere. Food cooked fresh and beautifully presented. We shared a small roast duck - sweet, crispy skin, tender meat on the bone; filo pork skewers - marinated in cola, sweet tender and juicy, only 2 per serve; karage chicken pops which were deep fried and battered with a beautiful savoury flavour, a nice helping; dumplings 4 beautifully presented pork, juicy and lovely steamed wrapper; sung choi bao with chicken mince, healthy light, 3 per serve.
Great food soft shell crab and duck pancakes top of the pick, service was perfect, attentive but not in your face and atmosphere was lively but you could hear each other speak.
I love this place. The food is wonderful, the staff ate personable and attentive, and that char siu...I will keep going back over and over.
Amazing food we tried about six dishes each one nicer that the last. There was an awesome atmosphere and the staff was very helpful and gave great suggestions when we could decide
Amazing food! Amazing service! Love this place . Could do with a little better air conditioning. Very warm in there. Over all one of the best!
Great food and cool setting. Small meals as listed are great to share and offer great range and with some great wines/beers and cocktails. Service was solid.
We had the degustation and it was very good indeed Very good service and food Would recommend trying this place as it is a little different from the norm
Great food and service. Have been here 4 or 5 times previously and the food always consistent, fresh and interesting. We Will be back soon
There was amazing food and drinks. The service was excellent. Food came out immediately. As there was a time constraint we didn't feel rushed. Couldn't fault it.
Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here . We particularly enjoyed the San Cho Bao and the mushrooms with mixed vegetables. We were less enthused by the steam boat . We did not mind the stock but thought it lacked other flavours and lacked texture. The deep fried bean curd with chocolate ganache and condensed milk was great . Wait staff very helpful and well informed about the food they were recommending and serving which indicates good dialogue between kitchen staff and front of house staff , and their enthusiasm for food . This is sometimes lacking in all manner of eateries.
Just average. Meat for $55 we expected to be good but really not. And others were good but not great, soft shelled crab etc. Brash, nose pierced waitress.
