Good Service & Good Food – My husband and I have chosen The DragonFish Cafe' as one of our favorites. We have always had excellent, friendly, and quick service. One reason we've liked this restraunt is that the food is made with fresh ingredients, Its brought out when its ready, encouraging you to share your warm meals.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR – Well, I have read the other reviews and it seems like people think they paid too much for the quality of food and service. In my opinion, having eaten at numerous sushi restaurants in dozens of cities, you get exactly what you pay for here. The sushi was good, but not great. It was fresh, and the ahi was exceptional. You can watch them prepare your food if you sit at the bar (which we did), and the sushi chef was fastidious in washing his hands, as well as in keeping the prep area clean. We ordered... read more

Total Waste – This place is the most overrated sushi restaraunt in the world. If you really do enjoy good sushi, this is not the place for you. All sushi tastes the same here. Very bland. Even the wasabi sucks (not hot at all). The service was scant at best. Never going here again.

Start your Happy Hour here! – the happy hour menu is a steal !!! sushi is great to start with and the drinks are worth the dollars. great venue to: tons of downtown'ers and hotel guests. Great to meet folks from out of town. the miso soup is one of the best in town: not too salt and the price is right. can be loud but that's fun for happy hour. windows that are at sidewalk level add for fantastic people watching.

Excellent Pan Asian! – I disagree with the previous reviewer. I found Dragonfish very flavorful, sushi and japanese dishes are top quality and extremely fresh. I have not had the dinner, only lunch (yet). Recommend box lunches, great value, but prepared fresh. Lovely atmosphere and service is also good. I will be back.

Quite pleasantly surprised – We arrived at 6pm on New Year's Eve, no reservation & needing to be at our movie by 6:45 - the hostesses were quite gracious, we were seated immediately at the bar & promptly greeted by the engaging waiter. We ordered a couple of appetizers for our meal (spicy ginger chicken was an unbelievably delicious concoction!), which were delivered quickly, and our drinks were quickly refilled when necessary. On any given night I would have been impressed with the service, food, and promptness but particul... read more

Bland food – Just had to say we got back from Dragonfish and were not pleased at all. The food is very bland with no flavor and just not worth it. The tuna we had tasted stale and old. My boyfriend is a chef and really knows his food and he had nothing good to say about this food. Although I am not as picky, I didn't think it tasted too great. We had the ahi tuna salad which had noodles mixed with greens, which is not a good combination. The Classic poke tasted old and just gross. We are definite foodies and were not impress... read more

The Worst – Dinner at Dragonfish was the worst restaurant experience of my life! The drinks took 20 minutes; our appetizers showed up AFTER our entrees; and then they screwed up our bill! AND I have never been treated so poorly by a manager when we tried to complain. Dragonfish needs to work on their service if they ever intend to be an "upscale" restaurant. But I will NEVER recommend Dragonfish to anyone... ever!

Great Times – Dragonfish is not your average hoytie-toytie downtown eatery... so snobby restaurant goes beware! You will get great food at a great value, and even though the service isn't always 100%, you get what you pay for. That's way it is called Dragonfish Asian CAFE, not bistro or restaurant. So please, next time you visit, take a look around, enjoy the scenery and the beautiful fishtank. The people watching is great! Just please, leave your crass attitudes at home.
