Once was enough and not even worth it the first time around. – After hearing much 'to do' about this establishment, a friend and I decided to go for their infamous "shushi hour" after a concert at The Schnitz. We figured with its ideal location and the amount of accolades we had heard about the cafe, it was most definitely worth a try. Boy were we wrong. Besides the poor to partly cloudy service the food was no steal at all; the portions were miniscule at best meaning you are paying above average for their happy hour special... read more
Not Good at All – Ugh, service was terrible to start. Took over 5 minutes to be greeted and then 10 more for our order to be taken. Our appetizer arrived and 1 minute later so did my husband's food. My entree came about 3 minutes later. The entree (which is supposed to be served "family style") was given to me in it's serving bowl without a separate plate or serving set. I ended up using the soup spoon from the appetizer dish to eat my dinner. We didn't get a check back until we were almost finished and dishes were not clear... read more
Birthday Bummer – What a total disappointment! I arrived a few minutes earlier than my friends. I had been there before with a friend for her b-day and she had ordered this delicious Macadamia crusted salmon. It was wonderful, I couldn't stop thinking about it and wanted it for my b-day. So we both knew what we were ordering. She had had it 3 times since the first time and never had a problem. The service was excellent then. That was two years ago. This time, everything was a total disappointment. My friends arrived but for ... read more
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.
