Really bad sushi – The sushi is incredibly bad. The drinks were imaginative, I'll give them that, but the food is horrible. I rice was dry and the fish bland. Cheap does not mean good value. If you want cheap, try Saburo's for value and quality. I won't waste my money here again.

Good Lunch Specials – This place is good for the lunch bento boxes. They are a pretty good deal and you get to sample a few things, but that's all I have ever come here to get.

ATTITUDE AND INATTENTIVE SERVICE/MEDIOCRE SUSHI – My family and I have been coming to Portland regularly for the last 5 years. We have been to Dragonfish several times and everytime it seems to get worse. The sushi is very mediocre. The fish did not seem fresh and tasted and felt like it had been frozen. The honey walnut shrimp dish was the only decent item we had. Also, the service just keeps going down hill. We clearly specified to the server that we did not want sprouts in the tempura sushi rolls. When they came with spro... read more

Fresh sushi, fair price – Some reviewers here wrote that Dragonfish's sushi isn't great. How untrue. Even after reading of a few bad experiences on Citysearch, I dared to take two out-of-town friends here on a Sunday night. Not at all disappointing - the fish, roe, shrimp, ginger &c was all fresh and good. My party was seated right away, we had a polite and fast-moving waitress and ended up paying just $20 each (before tip) for all the sushi we could stomach and a Tsingtao each. Is twenty bucks a cheap meal? Nope. Mc Donalds... read more

Worst Service, Overpriced, Mediocre Sushi, Great Ambiance – We went to the Dragonfish Cafe looking for an upscale sushi experience downtown for a friends 22 birthday and had the worst time. We started out in the main restaurant with a reservation for 12 but upon realization that happy hour was only in the lounge across the lobby we moved over there hearing about how fantastic it was. So we sit down and wait for the rest of our party to arrive (which ends up only being 8) and we order our food and our drinks. The sushi was bl... read more

Sushi in bar not very good – I have gone to Dragonfish a few times and always leave disappointed with the sushi. I have sat in the bar everytime and while I've had good service, the sushi isn't that great. The happy hour prices are great, but you defiantly get what you pay for.

Great for a special occasion – I go here for the appettizers, entrees, and the mixed drinks. Try the chicken lettuce cup and the curry chicken. I haven't had anything here that I didn't like, although I swear the Dragonfire Chicken was hotter the first time I had it (a couple years ago). Their desserts are normally excellent. I still remember this lime kiwi dessert they had once upon a time, mmmmm. The portions are huge, and my family always ends up with leftovers, since we can't decide what to share. The prices are moderatl... read more

Great for non-sushi lovers too – A group of us went out for sushi and one guy didn't care for sushi but was impressed with their other menu items (a bit overprice I thought). The sushi was good and the atmosphere is great.

YUmmy – Food was awesome, but somewhat overpriced. As for sushi, selection was limited, not a place to try sushi at its best. Waitstaff was great, very helpful with explanation of menu items.
