Dragonfish Asian Cafe

It's cheap so quit whining – I've paid more for sushi that wasn't this good, so come during happy hour and enjoy yourself. If you want an Asian place that's trendier with better food, head over to Saucebox, but be prepared to pay a lot more (not that there's anything wrong with that). Service here is so-so, depends on the night and the crowd I guess. Oh and their drinks are quite good, but if you like beer, go for the Kirin Lager. It's smooth and dry.

Bad 'asian' food! – East asians, or anybody else who wants to eat authentic and tasty asian food, mark my word - PLEASE DON'T COME HERE!!!! This is a place for people who want to get fooled thinking that they're eating asian food. Dumpling looked like raviolis, and had more flour than anything else... One of the so-called thai dishes we ordered came out looking more like pasta (taste was just so so)... And, the final straw was the sushi that had imitation crap (oops, i meant crab) meat with simply one of the worst sushi rice... read more

Horrible food! – I had the asparagus & beef dish, and my boyfriend had the bulgogi steak dish. He asked for medium rare & he got it well done. My dish was a major disappointment. The sauce was too strong. Everything was drowning in it. The noodles weren't properly cooked, so I had a hard time chewing. Even my coke was flat. We had a shrimp tempura roll, but it didn't wow me. We might go back to try their dim sum brunch, but we are very disappointed with their dinner. It was not worth $40.

A great start to an evening out... – Went to Dragonfish with a friend based on recommendations by other friends. Was not dissapointed! We made reservations and were seated promptly. Service was efficient and helpful (wasn't sure what kind of Sake to order, and waitress was very helpful with this). Setting is elegant without being stuffy- you could dress to the nines or wear jeans and a t-shirt. Carmael Ginger Chicken and Thai Beef Salad are delicious! Can't wait to return for dim sum brunch on Sat/Sun

GREAT dessert/service – The fusion cuisine is serviceable (read: not worth the prices) but the dessert & the solid service will bring us back. We didn't have to ask for the basics (refills of drinks, for instance) & didn't have to beg to have dishes taken away & the bill delivered. Amazing how many restaurants can't even get this rudimentary stuff right. Try the banana cream pie w/ chocolate ice cream. WOW!!!

You can do better – Interesting, pretty but not always successful food. Good calamari dishes and coconut shrimp, but the duck rolls were heavy on rice, light on duck and the dipping sauce couldn't save them. As for the sushi, I'd have to agree with the reviewer who rated it as being about what you'd expect to find at Safeway. What really brought us down, however, was the bored unknowledgeable and condescending staff. Was talking to folks at work about our experience there and two colleagues who had also tried Dragonfish agre... read more

well ... – My first time eating at dragonfish was a mixed bag. The food was great, but the waitress I had was condescending and rude. Perhaps she had a bad day, but nothing could explain why my credit card was billed for more then I authorized it. I left less than 20% tip on the bill, because our waitress visited our table three times, we sat a half hour between appetizer and entree, and i never did get the water i asked for. When calling the restaurant about the overcharge, I again was condescended to and it was explained t... read more

Wonderful dessert – Only tried lunch, but what deals they have. Order a Bento box - we're not talking the cart variety - for about $8. The caramelized chicken was good too. Their special almond dessert is one of the best sweet treats in the city.

Great Saturday Night – My wife and I happened to find a last minute babysitter on a recent Saturday night, and we made a late reservation for Dragonfish. The food was exceptional, the Ahi, and Scallop Ceviche was done just right with just a touch of spice. The sushi is first rate, and our entrees of Bulgogi Beef and the Chicken and Shrimp special were great. The service remains inconsistent but the food will bring us back.
