What People Are Saying About Dragonfish Asian Cafe

The Scene – Palm-frond fans rotate on high ceilings and brightly playful pachinko game machines line the walls while young professionals crowd the bar. Post-work crowds can be crushing, as downtown fusion fans have discovered that this is a tasty, inexpensive way to wait out rush hour. Service tends to be friendly and swift. – – The Food – Sampling dim sum and fresh vegetable plates is the way to go. Decadent caramel-ginger chicken, wok-seared sugar snap peas with shiitake mushrooms or any of the tuna-based sushi rolls are consistently safe bets. A shining entree…
Avoid this restaurant

On a recent visit my appetizer arrived AFTER I had finished my entree. I complained about the service and I was asked to leave the restaurant and not return.
- Cons: Terrible Service!
Dissapointed

A friend and I decided to take our best friend to Dragonfish for her birthday dinner.(we had never been before.)
We did not wait long to sit, even thought it was a saturday evening. We sat at a great table outside, had ballons and gifts and informed our server that it was our friends birthday.
Let me just say that I have worked in a resturant before, I know that it is definitly not easy, however the neglegence and disrespect that our server gave us was so incredible that for the first time in my life, I did not tip on the bill.
I was horrified. The food all came out at different times, we had to beg for water, and it took us literally 25 minutes to get our check. I had to walk inside and ask the hostess if we could please get our check and leave the resturant! I will never waste my money or time there ever again. I have now had several friends also try this cafe and they have also agreed the service was terrible.
As a side note to those willing to try it still:
The food was pretty decent, and there was plenty of variety on the menue, the portions of the entrees were just "ok" and the prices are not unreasonable.
- Pros: pretty good food
- Cons: horrible service, bad portions of food for the price
Poor service

I was really excited to come try this place out and I finally had the chance to. When I got there everything was fine at first than I began realizing the slow service and the slow manager working at the time. Trying to get the waitress's attention was a nightmare!
The presentation of their food was really nice thought, but the taste was mediocre nothing special, if you want to try head for the 30% off tab times at least you won't fee like it wasn't a complete waste.
I will not being going back there fore sure!
- Pros: decoration, 30% off tab
- Cons: slow service, unimpressed menu
Great Happy hour!!

Great place to get sushi! I am always looking for places that have sushi and have other options as well for my husband who does not eat sushi...this place fit the bill! The food was great and the atmosphere was 'upscale cozy'. Get there early, the happy hour seating fills up fast!
- Pros: Great happy hour variety
- Cons: Waiting for a seat
Rude waitstaff and so-so food
by blakecake at Citysearch
The waitress was rude and brusque, like she had better things to do than serve us, and the food was really just slapped together by an uncaring food prep person from what might have at one time been a good recipe? The "dry-fried" green beans were oily and limp, the chicken lettuce cup came with some browned and withering iceberg lettuce on the side (no "cup" to be seen") and the sushi was poorly designed; smoked salmon completely overpowered the coconut, macadamia and blueberry flavors. On second thought, why did I order that? For the sheer curiousity I guess.
- Pros: Good location
- Cons: rude service, mediocre food
