15 Standout Sushi Restaurants in Orlando

"With its glossy wraparound bar and angled bento-box ceiling, Dragonfly set the bar pretty high for modern izakayas and sushi houses in this city when it opened back in 2010. While its robata game is strong, Dragonfly’s servings of sushi and sashimi certainly have wings. Of note are the Hokkaido scallops dressed in garlic-jalapeno, the bigeye tuna kobachi tossed in a spicy sesame oil blend and the indulgent sashimi passion, available in composed 7- and 21-piece platters. The impressive selection of Japanese beer, sake, whisky, and shōchū is nothing to scoff at." - Faiyaz Kara

We came to Dragonfly to celebrate my mom’s birthday after hearing amazing things—and it absolutely lived up to the hype! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. Our server, Brandon, was incredibly attentive and patient, especially with family members who needed a little help navigating the menu. The food was phenomenal—a true 10/10 across the board. We tried a variety of dishes including the crab and garlic miso soup, sticky rice, crispy shrimp, crab fried rice, and fried cheesecake, and every single one was a hit. To top it all off, the manager, Daniela, checked in with us a few times throughout the evening to make sure my mom was enjoying her special day and that we had everything we needed. Highly recommend Dragonfly for a delicious meal and a great experience, whether you’re celebrating or just craving incredible food!

We are visiting from Georgia and were met by the lovely Ashley Taylor at the front. She was kind, warm, and promptly sat our party of 4 without a reservation. Our amazing server was Jon and we knew he was going to be awesome when we saw his Naratu stickers. He was patient and very helpful with our selections for the evening. He was prompt and kind, also teaching us how to eat the short rib selection in the most delectable manner! We were so happy with all of our food choices, easily one of our best meals in Orlando. We will definitely be back when visiting! Thank you Dragonfly!!

I had an amazing dining experience at this sushi place! The Chef's Special was outstanding - every piece was superb, fresh, and delicious! The ambiance was perfect: dim lighting created a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Our server was exceptional: kind, super knowledgeable, and provided excellent advice on menu options. I told her my preferences and she guided me perfectly! Attention to detail impresses: even the bathrooms were extremely clean! Compliments to the chef - culinary skill is clearly evident! I'll definitely be back again - already looking forward to trying new suggestions and keeping an open mind.

We had the pleasure of experiencing this restaurant at their Gainesville location and enjoyed it so much we wanted to give the Orlando location a try! The food was absolutely wonderful, and the menu came with tons of options varying from a wide selection of sushi rolls to beautifully crafted Asian inspired dishes. Personally, really enjoyed the Pork Belly Bao Buns and Glazed ribs. Want to also shout out our waiter, Jonathan. A very knowledgeable and spirited individual who catered to us with a high degree of enthusiasm and hospitality. Highly recommend asking to be seated where he may tend to you. My family and I cannot wait to return and enjoy once more!

If you don’t know what to order at Dragonfly, don’t worry, you cannot go wrong with anything on this extensive menu. Seriously, every roll i tried was better than the next. And the crab rangoon is a MUST! One of the best I’ve ever had. Oh, and the blue crab fried rice was heavenly. So fresh and flavorful. I went with a bunch of people and tried about 8 or 9 different dishes and every single one was top notch. Atmosphere was lively and the decor was modern. Very cool vibe and I would definitely return here.

We ordered Ginger Ninja, Cucumber Compulsion, Ginger Salad, Vegetable Gyoza, Nigiri, a variety of Makazushi, Hamachi Kama, & Tempura Cheesecake. Server and food were great. The only things I would say that could have been better are the Vegetable Gyoza, Tempura Cheesecake, & some of the Maki. The Gyoza could have used more flavor and the Tempura Cheesecake was still a little too frozen. The Maki tasted good but they were not all properly rolled and the rice could have had a little better flavor. Proper sushi rice should glisten.

Great service, food was delicious. We ordered different appetizers and all were delicious. Top dish was the sliders and the wagyu sides.

Ah the Dragonfly! A great place to relax and unwind. This place is not the place to come to if you're hungry or starving, they are more of a place to pick and eat dishes while drinking and enjoying time with your spouse, family or friends. :) As our amazing waitress Ashlee said, "it's like tapas". Shout-out to Ashlee for an impeccable service, keeping track of orders and drinks and amazing memory. My husband and I ordered the octopus Tako and a black dragon. Wow, just marvelous. Quality and freshness was there and you can taste each ingredients exquisitely. The drinks.... WOW! Crafted and made to perfection. Worthy of a picture and an amazing punch for your taste buds. Their version of an old fashion, the mass old fashioned, was smooth and gentle. I liked it but needed my makers mark kick :p Do I want to come here every other weekend? Yes. Can I? No. Lol it is very pricey (over priced) and it's their service you're paying for so great to come by for special events tbh

This restaurant is nice for a date night, the inside is actually one of the biggest restaurants I've seen for dining inside. Service was wonderful and waiter was kind enough to inform us about the whole menu. I will say the food is okay. We shared rangoons and pork gyoza. I just don't think the rangoons needed to be with peach puree, it kind of threw me off a little but it wasn't horrible. I think it's just better being a classic rangoon that doesn't have to have something special in it like peach. The pork gyozas were good, asked for it fried and it was crunchy / delicious. We also got the kimchi pasta which was creamy and noodles were cooked well. After coming a couple times here though, sushi rolls are still okay.. got the volcano roll and had to take off bacon bits which was no problem but like I said, it can just be simple and great by itself with nothing else added like bacon bits, or just a better combo for raw fish. We ordered sashimi which were great and high quality. I think overall this is a nice place to eat at considering the ambiance, just that some combo choices of food on the menu is questionable but can always ask to take something out.

We came here for happy hour during the week (5-7pm). They have great deals on some basic sushi. They accidentally gave us a couple rolls that were not on the happy hour menu. We had never been there so we didn't know it was the wrong order. They also brought out our actual order. All the sushi was good and fresh, but of course the non-happy hour sushi was better. Their regular price sushi is a little expensive for my taste so if I go back, I would stick with the happy hour menu. It's also dog friendly on the back patio. It was busy during happy hour, but the staff was friendly and attentive.

We finally had the chance to try Dragonfly and I found myself sadly underwhelmed? We went on a Monday night, for a 6:30 reservation and were seated around 6:40. The women working check in were nice, but there wasn't anywhere to stand with all of the other groups waiting for tables so it felt a bit uncomfortable. The restaurant itself is cute-- a good blend of cozy and trendy. We were sat at our table, next to a wall with what looked like it used to be a candle, but was coming out of its wiring socket? The star of the meal, our server Eli, was very kind and welcoming and always made sure we were doing ok! Food-wise, I ordered the Magical Dining menu (4 courses for $40) and my husband chose some items from the Happy Hour menu. I chose the ginger salad for my starter, Brussels sprouts for my appetizer, miso salmon for my main course and green tea tiramisu for my dessert. Our server briefly mentioned their "tapas style" in terms of servings-- please believe them! I was surprised when my "main course" of miso salmon came out and it was 2 small skewers of salmon on a small bed of cabbage. Calling that a main course was a pretty big stretch. Compared to a large sushi roll, this felt a little offsetting, so keep that in mind. The ginger salad was good, though the "dressing" is almost a chunky carrot puree. The Brussels sprouts were just okay, but I still ate them. Despite being small, the salmon was tasty, but after 2.5 courses (I didn't finish the sprouts), I was still hungry. Luckily, the green tea tiramisu came out, ironically bigger than my main course, and was pretty tasty! My husband tried the bao, Krispy Krunch roll, Sake Blossom, and miso soup from the happy hour and liked them all. Unfortunately, I don't think we will return since we've been to places with much more solid food quality, especially for the price, since we went at Happy Hour and did the Magical Dining special ($90 including tax and tip for the two of us to eat and leave hungry). Happy Hour was a semi-decent deal, but still felt far more expensive than it should have been, with a small miso soup costing $6. I'm grateful we tried Dragonfly during Magical Dining and Happy Hour, so we can at least say we tried it, but I felt pretty meh after our experience. Thankful for Eli for at least making it enjoyable for us.

Let me start by thanking our awesome host Samantha for all the recommendations. This is our second time at Dragonfly and once again she hit it out of the park over and over. Can't remember all the names of the food right now but it was all amazing. The crispy mushrooms with truffle sauce, the truffle miso, volcano, an Old Fashioned, and then some. Ending with a chocolatey dessert on a sesame crust with mochi. Ambiance, personnel, food, flavors. This place checks all the boxes...

Came during a work conference and we all loved it. The Happy Hour menu was unbeatable! They have a ton of rolls for only $7 and tons of drink specials as well. I ordered a house special roll plus 2 rolls off the HH menu and drink not included in HH and my bill was still under $50. Service was prompt and we all enjoyed ourselves. Definitely check it out here!

Himachi Crudo Fresh yellowtail, tomatoes, Ponsou sauce, avocado and fresh cilantro. The juiciness of the yellowtail paired perfectly with the avocado bathed in a ponzo sauce. The tomatoes add a great little hint of acidity I got about seven pieces of yellowtail for $25. We were also given fresh wasabi and ginger; And some low sodium soy sauce. My partner got the volcano as well as the big boss roll. Eli our server was fabulous. He was attentive and kind; plus he handled my allergies with care. The ambiance of Dragonfly is a modernized and funky sushi place with steak options as well. 10/10 Definitely returning

We visited Dragonfly during magical dinning and the food was beyond our expectations! It's a perfect restaurant for a date night or any occasion. The ambiance felt very romantic. The food was amazing! Everything we ordered was exceptional. The beef skewers and the fried gyoza were my favorite. The menu is all tapas style but portions were perfect to share. Our server was amazing too! He gave us great recommendations and was very attentive. The dessert and drinks is a must try! I highly recommend it here!

Wow, I didn't expect it to be this good. I tried the magical dining menu and had pork gyoza, tuna and salmon hand rolls, salmon chirashi bowl, and green tea tiramisu, and everything was absolutely perfect. The service was nice, friendly, professional, and quick. It was totally worth it. The vibe was also amazing. It's a great spot for a date night or hanging out with friends. I highly recommend it!

I went again for the 2024 magical dining special. When I arrived, I was greeted immediately and sat outside near the fountains. For my drink, the mojito (14 dollars) was a bit light, but still refreshing. The magical dining was 4 courses. The salmon and tuna hand rolls came before the krab wontons. The tuna and salmon tasted fresh and had a nice kick from the spicy sauce. It was also filling from the rice and cucumber. The krab wontons had more cheese than imitation crab meat, but it was still good. For my entree, I chose the tuna kobachi. It was more of a do it yourself nacho plate with puffed rice, cucumber, avocado, tuna, and cabbage (or lettuce) strips. I just enjoyed them separately instead of trying to put them all together. They all tasted fresh and the tuna had the same sauce from the hand rolls to add the flavor. My green tea tiramisu dessert came pretty late, but it was light and a good end. The green tea was a bit bitter, but still refreshing. The service was good, but again got a bit slow at the end. It took almost 30 minutes to get dessert, and my server was surprised when I told her I didn't receive it yet. It was also pretty casual for an upscale restaurant. The patrons were social, but not too loud that I could hear the club like music. I couldn't get a good view of the fountains either, but the main one near the plaza got turned off for a photo shoot. Dragonfly still serves nice quality sushi and other food in an upscale environment. However, the service can be a bit slow and casual. However, for 40 dollars magical dining, this is still a great deal, especially when the portions are not shrunk. It is another good sushi restaurant in the Dr. Phillips area.

Amazon spot for Sushi in the Dr.Phillips Area. They are on Magical Dining with 4 courses for $40 so if you haven't been this is a good way to try some of the standout dishes on the menu. They have a really cool happy hour as well everyday from 5pm-7pm

My family and I had dinner last night for my birthday for the first time and we had a great time. Sean our waiter was excellent. Initially, when we sat down our table was unbalance however Sean immediately fixed that. My kids loved the food. My 10 year old for some reason loved the water that Sean kept refilling. Sean was really nice and attentive. Definitely, a great nice evening outing that we will cherish. Also took some nice pics inside and outside of the restaurant.

I just recently revisited Dragonfly since the pandemic, and I'm happy to say that this restaurant is still amazing :) We came here on our 3rd date with my husband, so we're excited that it's still as good as we remembered. It looks like they've updated their menu and decor in a great way, except I'm a little sad to see that they shrunk their sushi menu :( Their happy hour menu looked appetizing, which I'm excited to come back and try. They also offered some tasty signature cocktails too! The ambiance and decor is modern, tasteful, clean, with beautiful mood lighting throughout. They also have a great outdoor seating area that wraps around restaurant... very welcoming! The service was pretty good, we were greeted immediately by the host since we had a reservation she guided us to our table immediately. The waiter was friendly and attentive at first, but was the night got busier it was harder to get his attention. Luckily we weren't in a big rush. All in all, it was a very good night with some friends that haven't been. We were all very happy with the food and freshness along with our delightful drinks. So I am excited to return and also to try their happy hour menu. Thanks & cheers!

I was always a big fan of Dragonfly Sushi in Gainesville and have wanted to go to the Orlando one for years. I never made it over though until tonight for happy hour. Awesome deal and prices! $7 for delicious sushi rolls including a fried roll with salmon and crabmeat and $7 for a tempura roll. $8 cocktails that were superb including a cucumber vodka drink and a ginger sugar vodka drink. Really great service and ambiance, just like I remember from my college days up visiting up north. Stellar taste of flavors. Loved the blue crab fried rice on the menu and the Salmon Belly roll was just superb. Reminds me of when I was in Japan in 2011. Great and deep sushi flavor. Can't wait to go back and soon glad I finally made it.

As out of towners, it was a little difficult to find the location via GPS. We ended up on the level above and drove around for a bit until we realized we'd have to enter below via the parking garage. I made a reservation online about 20 minutes prior to arriving and they were able to get us seated without much of a wait. There were many team members to ensure excellent service, and the manager came by multiple times to check on us. They have a gluten free menu, which made it easier for me to order. Everything we had was delicious and nothing disappointed. Highlights were the Garlic Crab Fried Rice, Japanese Street Corn, Ribeye, Brussels Sprouts, Warm Baby Spinach & Shiitake Mushroom Salad, and Classic Miso Soup. This is some of the better food and service I've had in Orlando; highly recommend!

Came in for dinner on a Saturday with a reservation for two and we were seated right away. The hostess were very friendly and welcoming and the parking is free. The building is gorgeous and the decorations are beautiful. Our outdoor seat had a beautiful view and the tables are spaces far apart to give an intimate feel for you and your date. Our host explained the menu for us and we learned it's Tapas style and there are several small plates you can try along with sushi. We got a few appetizers, brussel sprouts and the wontons, and for dinner I chose the wagyu sushi. I am not a raw fish person so I opted for the other meat items and I was surprised that there were several options. My partner got the omakase since he's a sushi fan and he went with the nigiri style. He was very excited and happy with his food. The fish was so fresh and beautifully presented and he said the amount was filling for him. The prices were so much better than we were expecting and you get a great dinner for it. The seasonal dessert was the pumpkin pie and it was OH so good! He got the fried cheesecake which is a must!!! We will be back (very soon) and look forward to trying more of their food!

This is my new favorite sushi spot! Not only is the service impeccable, the fish is fresh and absolutely to die for! It was so good we came here for our anniversary on Tuesday and came back Thursday with 22 of our friends! This place is a must! Only complaint, they don't have a location in Palm beach county yet

We were 4 on a Friday night 6/14, do enjoy this place. Server Tung very good. Really like their Shishito peppers. And really like their pan-seared pork gyozas. Also very importantly, very clean including the restrooms even on a very busy night which is something to be valued and good sign all-around.

Another wonderful experience here at Dragonfly. We sat inside this evening due to pop up rain shower. It was a nice atmosphere. Low lighting but enough that you can still read the menu, low but audible music. Wonderful service! Our group ordered an array of different sushi rolls from the menu and all were really good. Super fresh and full of flavor. These aren't your basic rolls, they pack theirs with tons of goodies filled with flavor and unique combos. I stand behind my prior statements that this is a great go to spot for sushi. Side note, the happy hour is amazing!

I love Dragonfly and last nights dinner was amazing. Came for a pharmaceutical dinner service but had to rave about how delicious and prompt the staff was. The room was quiet and secluded to have conversations. Started with local brussel sprouts, yellowtail crudo, and crispy tuna rice. That crudo was melt in your mouth yum but I think my favorite of the starters was the tuna crispy rice. Next up was the garlic crab fried rice, crispy shrimp, miso yaki black cod, A5 mizayaki, and chicken thigh skewers. I'm just gonna say ALL of them were delicious especially the crab fried rice and the A5 Wagyu. Then the sushi selection of cobra Kai roll, the bomb roll, Smokey dragon roll, and volcano roll. Same, ALL were delicious. Ended with a sweet fried cheesecake and the matcha tiramisu. But at this point it was just a small taste since I was extremely full. Highly recommend!

This place is so cute! Came with my best friend my last night in town. We came on a Tuesday during Happy Hour. They have both indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. Indoor ambiance was very cute, a little dark but I prefer it that way. They have a specific Happy Hour menu with appetizers and some sushi, and of course drinks. We ordered a ton of different sushi, and it was all delicious! Our server was readily available whenever we needed to order more of anything or needed something. We each ordered about 3-4 drinks each. Total bill for us for all the food we ordered and all our drinks was only $130 which was very very reasonable for me visiting from California. Definitely would visit again especially during Happy Hour when I'm visiting Orlando again!

E X P E R I E N C E I came with a few friends on a friday night. it was absolutely one of the best experiences there are consistent changes on the menu. omakase is available! TIP: happy hour is no size reduction, only price. there's also secret menu items!! please see the photos. F O O D warm baby spinach and shiitake mushroom salad uni shooters, multiple saikyo salmon negitoro: new item on the menu!!! old fashioned: four roses yellow label bourbon, sugar, bitters, smoked (option of smoked or regular) sake blossom: nigori sake, peach, cranberry, mint matcha lime sorbet: made in house. sooo limey. so light everything here was phenomenal. this is my favorite Japanese restaurant in orlando. it was so good. unique. flavorful. it's unmatched. I can't even describe it. definitely better than some Michelin restaurants that I've been to. (thousand times better than the Michelin at the ritz, knife and spoon, also where I spend $400 for lackluster food) P A R K I N G free parking in a parking structure. ample parking space A M B I A N C E high end but relaxed. some wear casual whilst others are dressed to the nines. S E R V I C E cynthia was incredible. she said she ate here all the time for a year prior to working here. she definitely believes in all the food items here. she was telling us where the sauce comes from, how the food is prepared, what she likes vs what costumers like. Cooney, the GM, was incredible. it was so nice to learn about how much of a positive impact he's had on the staff and the team here. he was so humble and so grateful to be such a great team as well. P R I C E average $50-100 per person depending on what you order. honestly, I'd pay double for the freshness, and the ingenuity behind each dish.

I love this restaurant so so much. We came out with a pretty big group for our book club, and our server could not have been more accommodating. It was our good friends birthday, and we came back to our local favorite - Dragonfly. This place is so special. The service is impeccable, the food is amazing, and the decor and ambiance are enchanting. Pro tip - go during happy hour so you can get a few small plates to share with friends. KANPAI !!

Our server was very accommodating for a large group including 10 people, 3 children and 3 vegans. The vegans were very excited to have a whole menu option to themselves. While it's kind of casual upscale dining it really isn't ideal for children as things come out as they are ready and children don't understand the need to wait. The ambience is very nice and I like their variety of cocktails and extensive wine and sake menu. I like the idea of a seasonal menu but can be disappointing when you go in expecting an item you may have seen online but it's not reflected in the updated menu. Overall it's a nice staple in the dr Phillips area for a more upscale or romantic vibe but not really ideal for large groups with varying palettes since things come out more tapas style and can be awkward with some individuals with no food yet to sit and watch you eat.

Make a reservation. I enjoyed my experience, I thought the food was great and the vegan sushi menu is awesome to have as a vegan. The plaza is a little hard to get to your first time and be prepared with cash for valet, overall really enjoyed our experience, we had to sit outside due to no reservation but it was covered and they had heaters so that was nice even on a rainy night. I love the inari nigiri and was satisfied with both vegan rolls I tried, I also shared veggie dumplings with my friend and they are were yummy. They are made to order how you prefer either steamed, pan fried or seared.

I love the food, ambience, and service at this place. The sushi is fantastic and they also have tons of vegan options for those who don't partake in meats. Haven't had anything I didn't like but I'd definitely recommend the mushroom app and the omakase.

It had been awhile since we'd been here, so this was a great reminder of why good restaurants should be frequented to keep them in business! This experience was top notch. We had a group of 7, and we got great service from the get go (and admittedly, we were a little high maintenance). I reserved an outside reservation, and the table they initially sat us at was half in the sun on an 85 degree day, so, somewhat toasty. Our server, Samantha, accommodated our move to another table and went out of her way to make sure our desires were fulfilled during our time there. For instance, the restaurant offers a low sodium soy sauce, and a full strength soy sauce, which contains fish sauce. So, one of the vegetarians wanted regular soy sauce, so Samantha offered some to-go packets as an option. She was very attentive and made spot on recommendations with food choices. The vegan Miso Yummy maki roll was very good and my favorite of the evening, followed closely by the robata grilled sweet corn. Because it is a tapas style restaurant, it definitely helps to hit them during happy hour prices, as it can quickly add up.

We have been going to Dragonfly for a couple of years now and it has always in our experience very good. But for the past few months it has...stepped up ALOT. The servers who were always really good are even better, the food always excellent...better. We are big on sitting at the bar and the past 3 times we have had Alysa (2x) and Ashlee (1x) and they are outstanding. Professional, knowledgeable and fun to talk with. Their Happy Hour specials are extremely popular and deservedly so and we have done the Magical dining a couple of times recently and it's a pretty great selection. Excellent work Dragonfly!

Love the vibe of the restaurant. Our server, Tung, made it an excellent experience. He takes his job very seriously and did a tremendous job of explaining the different Sake options and the menu items. They have a daily happy hour from 5 pm - 7 pm and Tung got our order in with minutes to spare. Food is great. Loved the sushi rolls and the pork belly. Heading back with the girls soon

My first meal postpartum... I could have not asked for a better experience. It was a chilly night, but the heaters on the patio made for a very cozy date night We smashedddd the happy hour menu - which was a great combination of drinks and food! After nine months of no sushi and no drinks, I'm so glad my wife and I ventured out and tried this spot. Truthfully, it was a dinning highlight for me for a variety of reasons, food and drink included... and I must say, the atmosphere and the service was super. We will return to dine on the regular menu for my wife's birthday in April! I'm looking forward to reviewing it again then.

I ordered delivery from Dragonfly and it really did not disappoint. I had the 7 piece omakase nigiri which was fresh and delicious. I loved the unique topping the chef had placed on each piece. I also had the Cobra Kai roll which was an interesting combination of flavors to say the least but it actually worked! I was curious how red onions and tomatoes inside a sushi roll with a garlic sauce on the top would marry with other traditional sushi ingredients but I absolutely enjoyed it!

When my son heard we were going to be in Orlando he insisted we eat dinner here as an anniversary celebration on him and our daughter. The service was impeccable, when I arrived and mentioned my name the hostess told me she spoke to our son a few times to arrange our dinner. We were seated near the sushi bar and our waiter, Jon took our drink order and discussed the menu with us. The sushi he suggested was some of the best we've ever had. Soon a platter arrived with Uni, sea bream, fatty tuna, medium fatty tuna and yellowtail. It was all melt in your mouth delicious. We started our meal with a salad with ginger dressing and some miso soup both were very good. We also ordered the Big Boss roll and some salmon. Jon also suggested the Zen saki dry and slightly sweet a very good saki. For dessert we had green tea tiramisu with green tea. The meal was 5 stars all the way in a beautiful space. I also liked the restroom signs. If you find yourself in Orlando I suggest you give Dragonfly a try it's worth the trip.

Did takeout here and I was very pleased although it was more on the pricy side. I had GPS'd here and could not find the location at all at night. It was located in a plaza and I guess it took me to the back parking lot. I parked and walked around trying to find the restaurant in the plaza. It was in a corner. I walked in and told the hostess that I was there for pick up. I had a wait still but during my wait, I noticed that the restaurant was really dim but pretty! I had gotten a few nigiri pieces to go and it tasted just as if I had dined in. Very fresh and full of flavor. They have the good stuff - uni and sweet shrimp. I thought they were a decent large size each too.

We came here for my birthday dinner and were blown away with how great the food was! The drinks are delicious and if you make it in time for Happy Hour at the bar there is a great selection. The ambiance is nice, upscale, and it added to how special everything felt. The service was friendly and we appreciated our entire experience very much - will definitely be returning!

I fell in love with this place! I had visited Dragonfly back in 2018 and had totally forgotten about the place. My friends and I came on a Sunday, right after they opened, at 5:00pm and we were delighted to find out they have a happy hour menu every day! The place was slowly starting to get busy. By the time we left around 6:30pm the place was packed. We started with the roasted brussel sprouts! Wow they were delicious! That balsamic and cotija cheese combination was tasty. A must try! And for us, we will get them again when we go for another visit. As for our sunshine rolls we had: The volcano, the black dragon and the bomb. All of them were delicious and fresh. My favorite was the black dragon and will def have it again. The restaurant is well maintained and clean. The atmosphere was very relaxed and definitely a mix between high end and casual. A good choice for any occasion.

My family celebrated at Dragonfly and had a great experience! I ordered the Cobra Kai roll and the garlic chimichurri sauce on it was absolutely delicious! Our server Tung was very accommodating and wonderful. I got the sake blossom cocktail and it was also very good! I do think the restaurant is a bit dark though, it's hard to read the menu

My family came for my sister's graduation. The service was great. They explained their izakaya concept of sharing plates. Food was really good and the restaurant vibes were very chill. This is my second time here and I would keep coming back.

Everything was delicious! We had a 6:30pm reservation and we were pleasantly surprised that there was a happy hour menu u til 7. Great deals on delicious food and drinks. I had the Rangoon, the Pork Bao Buns, and the Mango Tango roll! The Mango roll was not as good as the first time I tried it, but still tasty. The winner of the night was the Cobra Kai roll, which my friend so generously let me try. We had Cynthia as our server and she was sweet and very attentive. We were greeted at the door and thanked as we left. The ambiance has some authentic elements and we had plenty of room at the table. I must say I thoroughly enjoy this restaurant and it is always a treat. Everyone at the table was satisfied and stuffed.

Ok this is probably our favorite Sushi place of all time. Nothing compares to Dragonfly Robata and the Magical Dining menu is simply one of the best offerings this year. Nothing offered disappointed. "The Bomb" is da bom and every morsel of food was delicious.

Excellent food at this tapas-style sushi spot. It's a large restaurant with easily 40 or so tables, plus a long countertop sushi bar. Our reservation was honored to the minute. Our server, Patrick took great care of us. Shout out to the trainee he was mentoring (didn't jot down her name), also very helpful. Patrick explained the menu, got the order right and paced the food well. Thank you! We started with pork gyoza. Crescent shaped dumplings stuffed with savory seasoned pork and pan fried. Dumplings are crisp on the outside, moist and flavorful on the inside. Next we had whole Ika. This is a serving of squid tentacles. Half of the dish is served breaded and deep fried like calamari, the other half broiled, unbreaded. It's served over a concoction of diced veggies (maybe mushrooms??) in a flavorful sauce. Really tasty. We also tried Krispy Krunch sushi. An interesting (and delicious) roll with salmon, crab, avocado and cream cheese then dredged in panko and fried. The nori is crunchy with the panko, the roll is creamy and perfectly balanced. Pork Yaklidon was my favorite. Delicious pork belly is served atop a mound of stir fried Udon noodles, cabbage, red ginger,bean sprouts. Very little fat on the pork belly, with a beautiful smoky favor and a crisp texture. Noodles soft with the sauce from the stir fry. Vegetables pumped up a notch with the ginger. This one's a keeper! We rounded out the meal with the yellowtail collar. This one is interesting... It's a nice cut of yellowtail filet, sliced from right behind the gills of the fish, still attached to the bone. The meat is especially flavorful, enhanced by a rich garlicky sauce. Pro tip - ask for a spoon to scoop the flesh from the bone so you don't miss the tastiest part. Dragonfly is an excellent spot for unique sushi and Japanese fare. Love the small plates so you can try many different things. Recommended!

Don't come here. Sashimi not fresh at all you can see the metallic sheen on the fish. Only old fish would have these

This place is at a whole other level! Food, service and ambiance! Excellent! We are greeted with welcome's and happy to see you! How can I help! Ask for my name, saw the reservation and was please follow me. Manager was checking and area saw us walking by and also welcomed us. Loved that they notice and acknowledge their customers. Server was happy, joyful and knowledgeable. Ask us if it was our first time dinning. Went over the whole concept and how look over the menu and also happy hour menu and drinks. Another special extra. Most places won't talk about happy hour you always have to ask. I belong to open table reservations so she acknowledged that we had anniversary yesterday and wished us happy anniversary! What a special touch. Asked what type of water we wanted and bought back to the table. Took our drink order and also allowed me to sample a wine. Before ordering. Always a plus! Drinks that were ordered "old fashion, cucumber cocktail, ice tea and Sauvignon blanc"all the drinks were very good,just the way we like them. The food comes out tapas style. We order off the happy hour menu and regular menu. Hold on! Here I go! lol! Octopus was sliced thinly in a red miso sauce with thinly sliced carrots&potatoes what a plus and chimichurri sauce poured over the top. I order this dish everywhere I can order it. This is hands down the best I have had. Extremely tender , melted in your mouth and not over the top on the chimichurri sauce mixed with an olive oil aioli. Full of flavor in the best way. I could honestly order 2 and call it a day. Sea salted edamames steamed to perfection. Baby spinach shiitake mushroom salad with flakes of tempura and drizzled with warm miso dressing and spices. Yummo! Ok, I think I would order this along with the octopus and call it night. Mango tango sushi roll had salmon, cream cheese and I order it with real crab, cucumber, topped with avocado,smoked eel and eel sauce poured on top and drizzled with spicy mayo and sprinkled with scallions and Slices of dried mango tucked in the sushi tools. Plated beautifully. Loved all the layers of flavors. Lamb chops fell off the bone tender, juicy and cooked perfectly. Plated on pistachio mint pesto and drizzled with black pepper honey. Oh my stars. It was To die for. I am alive! And the bone I had to dig into. Crazy good! Smoky dragon roll had salmon,real crab,red onions,cucumber,tempura flakes, topped with avocado,tuna and then torched togarahi eel sauce and topped with colorful micro-greens. The torching that they do on the top Marry's everything together and raises the flavors to another level of deliciousness. 5 oz. Braised short ribs is presented to the table and then they pour the soy dashi jus over the top. Tender, flavorful and Excellent had to order another. Oh I almost forgot the hot spring poached eggs and sliced pickled cumber and purple onions that comes with the braised short ribs dish. So yummy! They surprised us with lightning a candle on top of an almond cake and a chocolate custard drizzled with Carmel and wished us happy 30th anniversary. What a beautiful experience. My favorite!
