Movie and a dinner – Watch a movie at the theater across the street and stop in for some good asian cuisine. I'm rating this average overall, but this is really a great place to take a small group because there is something for everyone. Sushi, chinese, thai, you name it. I wasn't impressed with the curry. didn't come with rice, so unless you drink it like miso, you're not going to get all of it. Kung pao was average, but lacking on the peanuts and other veggies. Spring rolls hitt the spot, and the sauce was good. Service wa... read more

Best Happy Hour in Portland !!!! – The sushi prices rocked, and the rolls and negiri tasted great. Awesome atmosphere, the kind of place you can take a date to or just go down for a few drinks and a good time. The staff was more than friendly and also quite knowledgable of the menu leading me to great dining experience. Go to Dragonfish and you wont be disapointed!

Overpriced and bland, not a happy hour deal – Never again! I went there for happy hour. This cafe is supposed to be pan-asian, but it's anything but. Asian food is supposed to be flavorful, but Dragonfish's version was very lacking in that area. The ribs were tiny, over boiled, and over priced. The chicken thing was almost uneatable. The sushi was also small and overpriced (you can get better for a better deal at just about any other happy hour place that have sushi). Their cuisine is "meant to be shared" but I really don't ... read more

Killer cocktails paired with Pan-Asian cuisine that's perfect for sharing. – The Scene Grab a seat at the sushi bar to get up close and personal with the chefs, or sit along the picture windows for first-rate people-watching. Or elbow your way into the bamboo-lined bar for happy-hour sushi and killer cocktails. The Food Portions are big and sharing is encouraged--servers bring extra plates and utensils for divvying. Crisp Vietnamese spring rolls and spicy-cool chicken lettuce cups are perfect starters. Seafood is a good bet;... read more

rude service and overpriced,average food – On our first trip to Dragonfish,also our last;we went in the hotel entrance,not knowing about the main entrance,sat down and were ignored for at least a half-hour. When we spoke up,asking for service,we were upbraided by the young lady who was bussing tables,etc. The food was way overpriced and was way average. We will never go back.

Not the best, but still worth it. – Portland has some amazing sushi, and this place isn't really one of them. BUT! their happy hour IS a deal to be had.

Great lunch value – We were visiting Portland last weekend and had lunch at the Dragonfish. We found the food very fresh, the value for lunch very good, and the service responsive. We ordered the salmon dishes and were not disappointed. A side comment. When posting reviews, if one believes there are better restaurants of the same cuisine, they should note it in their reviews. It would give the reader other options and and opportunity to compare.

Consistent – I've been to Dragonfish numerous times, both in Portland and Seattle, and I've found their food and service to be consistently pleasant. Slightly overpriced -- but that's expected considering their location. I recommend the honey walnut shrimp and green curry chicken.

Overrated – It took us a while to finally make the time to check out this restaurant that was in all the dining articles. We were extremely looking forward to it, only to be met with bland food and bad service. There are tons of great asian food places just in and around downtown Portland where you can get decent prices with outstanding food quality. Dragonfish is certainly not one of them. As for service, we were herded in and then pretty much ignored for much of the time we were there. The waitress was flat-out rude and we... read more
