We heard there's good yum cha in Wellington so we told ourselves we definitely must try it while we're in the city. Have been deprived of Asian food for awhile you see. Both Dragons and Regal are located in Courtenay Place and we compared prices between the two restaurants. Dragons was relatively cheaper but it turned out their price list was actually outdated and we only realised they had jacked up prices higher than Regal after we sat down and ordered our food. Felt damn cheated and voiced our displeasure to the manager when footing the bill. He appeared willing to charge us based on the outdated price at first but apparently this was not the case when he sarcastically added "Sure you don't have to pay if you don't want to." ?!?!?! Clearly he was in the wrong for misleading customers! Also, we were told tea was $1.50 per pot but he claimed it's $6. Anyway we only ordered four items and one tea he charged us $20 in total. No idea if his calculation was correct or not. We decided to walk back to Regal and made sure their prices were updated before sitting down. Regal's dim sum taste better probably because service played a part. Their Portuguese egg tarts had a more creamy flavour and I would definitely go back and have some more of those. In conclusion Regal wins hands down in terms of both food and service.
