    All the dishes we ordered were delicious. Chef cooked super fast! Just a little unprepared about the “table tax” in the bill. Otherwise, so grateful to have access to Chinese food so close to our hotel and the main attractions.

    Our second visit to the Dragonet D'Oriente Chinese restaurant in Venice and we were surprised, the food was truly delicious - last time (a few years ago) we were a bit disappointed. Everything was very tasty and the service was excellent, fast and very friendly. Looking forward to our next visit again sometime soon hopefully

    Food here is absolutely amazing. Cannot fault any of the dishes. Service was super quick and friendly apart from one lady who seemed a bit miserable The flies around the place is annoying, but it could be the nature of the location. Perhaps a UV fly light would help (we were sat in the front) We took what we couldn't eat away to eat later and it was just as delicious. Best Chinese food I've had in a long time. And was a nice change from pizza or pasta around Venice. Would recommend highly

    I never thought I would eat Asian Food in Italy during my trip, but sometimes you want a hot soup or some veggies instead of all the pasta and bread carbs. If that is the case then this is the place to go. The place is a lot bigger than expected, the food came out relatively fast and warm and the taste was good. Definitely very good for a little change up. They also have a 1L beer option!

    This Chinese restaurant is located in the heart of Venice and serves both Chinese and Italian dishes. The seating area is larger than it appears, with additional tables at the back of the restaurant. We had dinner there and tried several Chinese dishes, which were quite good. The service was quick and friendly—they even held onto a jacket we had forgotten, which we were able to pick up the next day. It’s a great spot to dine when you're looking for a break from Italian cuisine. There's also a gelato parlor right in front of the restaurant, which is excellent.

    I was a little hesitant at the very beginning seeing some of the bad reviews. But after trying, it turns out to be a very good Chinese restaurant! I ordered the spicy crab and Fish flavored shredded pork. Very authentic taste! It’s a little pricy but it’s in Venice! Overall good!
