The Scene – Grab a seat at the sushi bar to get up close and personal with the chefs, or sit along the picture windows for first-rate people-watching. Or elbow your way into the bamboo-lined bar for happy-hour sushi and killer cocktails. – – The Food – Portions are big and sharing is encouraged--servers bring extra plates and utensils for divvying. Crisp Vietnamese spring rolls and spicy-cool chicken lettuce cups are perfect starters. Seafood is a good bet; try the clam lo mein, made with fresh and tender Manila clams. While the menu warns of spice, there's nothing to…

Will not go back
by pdxmx
I have been going to Dragonfish for a long time and have loved everything on their menu. My in-laws were in from out of town and wanted to go there as I had pumped the place up to be the best sushi, and man, what an embarrassment! The tables were dirty, there were "Nats" ( as the waiter described them) when I tried to politely walk over to say something after we were all waving them away from our food. Basically, they did not care as a few of them laughed after I said ya, I need a new dish to put my soy sauce in because there are dead nats in it...gross...The boxes that the lunches come in were even dirty..and the food even tasted funky..just a bad experience, and we WONT go back! Total waste of money......
- Pros: Downtown location
- Cons: most everything else

Place to ourselves!
by DRPhibes1
My lovely girlfriend and I were on a mission to enjoy some Sushi while visiting Portland. It was 2pm on a Sunday afternoon, and many places were not open until 430 or 5pm. Thankfully we were directed to Dragon Fish. When we walked in, we found that besides the staff, we were the only ones in the place! The bar was inviting and the staff friendly and awaiting our requests. After a ice cold glass of Sapparro on tap, we ordered a basic California roll, and a crab, sprouts, lime, honey, & avocado roll. The ingrediants were fresh and it tasted fantastic! Then we moved on to a spicy tuna roll, again excellent! We discovered that the place was empty because people were awaiting a 4pm Sushi "happy hour". Despite paying a little more for our choices, it did'nt matter, because when you must have Sushi, what's a few more dollars?? The entire staff at Dragon Fish was friendly and attentive to our needs. Thank you Dragon Fish for being open when many, many Sushi bars were not!!
- Pros: Open when others are not. Fresh and friendly
- Cons: N/A

Not really in love
by PDX11
Our waiter was hardly there, but when he was he was nice. Our food came out before we had halfway finished our appetizers and literally 5 minutes after we ordered which we were not thrilled about. Obviously not cooked to order. From what I had heard it was a really nice place to go to dinner but after being there it felt more like a chain restaurant. Maybe best to just try this place up if you are staying in the hotel or for sushi happy hour only.
- Pros: Good Location
- Cons: Felt like non-frsh chain food
