Dragonfly is a regular spot for me and friends to catch up after work. They do sushi and robata grill, cooked over binchotan charcoal, which gives a lot of the dishes a nice smoky edge. One visit stood out: I was celebrating a job offer, and the staff brought out a free dessert to mark the occasion. Small touch, but it stuck with me. Solid food and good service overall. read more

Recently hit up their happy hour and had a fantastic time. The ambiance is calm and inviting, and the service was phenomenal. The food was exquisite. We loved the Ginger Salad so much we got two plates, and the Chicken Thigh Skewers were incredible. The Veggie Gyoza and Edamame were good, the Wontons were decent, and while the Short Rib Buns had amazing flavor, the buns were unfortunately a little soggy. But the absolute star of the dinner was the Create Your Own Sushi, Uramaki rolls. We ordered multiple plates and the fish was incredibly fresh, everything about the sushi was perfect. We capped it off with a fantastic dessert round of Mochi Ice Cream and a Mochi Donut (a delicious twist on a churro). Easily one of our favorite spots on Sand Lake! read more

What a meal! We ordered food for the table and everything that came out was exceptional. The sushi, the seaweed salad, the ribeye, even the mochi ice cream was absolutely delicious. Our server, Cynthia, was amazing! She was friendly and knew the menu like the back of her hand. She made great recommendations and really took great care of us. If you're in the Orlando area, this is a place you can't miss! read more

Dragonfly always has excellent food. Came by with friends to enjoy their happy hour. Of course they have a full bar and sake options. Espresso martinis were great. All of the specialty cocktails we had were good as well. Restaurant has an upbeat and chic vibe. Establishment is always clean. I love the crab fried rice.. very flavorful and a good portion. The crab Rangoons are my favorite!! Fried perfectly and packed with flavor. There are so many sushi choices and all of them are delicious, super fresh and extremely flavorful. Definitely try the deep fried rolls. Loved the dumplings a lot. Service was great. I highly recommend and would return. read more

The happy hour was phenomenal! I was excited to try a few things for a really good price. The wontons were nice and crispy and the tacos were even better. The salmon was super fresh and the sake blossom was a nice touch to the meal. Their edamame sauteed was amazing! All in all the food was great the only problem I had was a very pungent smell that was only near the bar. It smelled like a dirty diaper every time I walked by. Luckily we werent sat over there but, it was very unpleasant and i am not sure what it was coming from. Our server was very attentive and took the time to go through the menu as it was a lot of our first time! I would definitely go back especially for happy hour! read more

I've tried to come here once or twice in the past and it was so busy or we couldn't get a reservation, well this time I made sure we did and it was everything. Dragonfly is like in between a pretty upscale and a more lowkey sushi place. The ambiance is really pleasant and it's decorated nicely. We sat in the big outdoor patio which was really nice. We tried the nigiri sampler and it was incredible. 9-10 different slices of a variety of fish atop rice beds, and everything was splendid. It was such high quality and that's not always the case when trying nigiri, sashimi or sushi rolls. The rolls we tried were delish too, everything we tried was so good. If you want an overall lovely dining experience, from entry to atmosphere to service to actual food, you'll get exactly that from Dragonfly Robata! read more

**Vegetarian Friendly** Where I live, there is very few places that serve vegetarian/vegan sushi, so when you're out of town, you gotta go! Was mostly intrigued because they had a separate vegetarian menu - which you don't see often! Restaurant was bigger than I expected, the patio is nice on the cooler evenings. (1) Vegetarian Gyoza - good but nothing special to me. It comes steamed, seared or fried. (2) Japanese Street Corn - yummy! japanese spin on mexican elote. This dish comes 'on the cob' but they were accommodating to serve it 'off the cob' - which makes it easier for sharing! (3) Magic Matt Sushi Roll - the tempura in here really made this roll delicious! If you're not a mushroom lover, the roll itself is still yummy just don't eat the mushroom on top. (4) Fresh Garden Sushi Roll - Consider this an upgraded avocado roll, but it just felt like too many vegetables inside, almost like a salad inside a roll. There was no variation in texture. Overall, good for vegetarian/vegan sushi but wasn't unique. read more

Sat at the bar for happy hour and got full for a reasonable price. Still couldn't resist ordering the crispy tuna even though it isn't included in happy hour pricing. The bartenders were great when I went and cracking a lot of jokes with a smile! read more

Impromptu date night, very pleased with our experience! Walked in on a Sunday without reservations and were seated quickly. We shared a ginger salad, the garlic crab fried rice, and the kimchi pasta. The rice was definitely heavy on the garlic, we didn't taste the crab at all - but it was still enjoyable. The salad was classic and the pasta was very different! Would have again. Our server was Shawn and he was awesome! Family friendly and date night worthy, inside and outside seating. Clean bathrooms. Has an area that can be used for events. read more

Amazing experience here for a special fixed menu for a party. Staff were attentive and the back room space was intimate, but can still be loud if others parties re just outside the doors. The food is always amazing, delicious, and fresh. I will always choose their crab fried rice and the crispy shrimp as a meal alone. Need I say how much I love their sushi as well, made with fresh ingredients and filling. read more

Went here for a date night and service was fantastic and food was delicious! Our waiter went into detail of the menu and his recommendations and would check up on us for anything else and even when we were in a rush did not hesitate to help and pack our leftovers to go. Food was also filling, flavorful and may be one of my favorite sushi spots and happy hours! read more

If you want a truly gluten free sushi experience without feeling like you're missing out, dragonfly is the place to go. So much of their menu can be made gluten free on request. Many other dietary restrictions and allergies can be accommodated as well. I had no problem eating dairy and gluten free. They also have a separate vegan menu available on request. Some standout dishes for me was the crispy rice (so much like Nobu's crispy rice. Absolutely AMAZING.) The miso ribs were also phenomenal. As was the spicy salmon roll. read more

Dragonfly is a great Asian restaurant in the Dr Phillips area. I have been coming here for years and I recently discovered their amazing happy hour menu! Great drinks, and food options for an even better price! It's a little bit of a drive for my wife and I but it's a good halfway point to meet some friends for dinner, so this is now in our rotation. It's also pretty and comfortable on the inside. We have never had a bad server, always efficient and attentive, and make sure to get the last call before Happy Hour is over. Highly recommend! read more

Ambiance was great. Joined a work dinner party here and I really enjoyed the feel to the restaurant. I am vegetarian and the options were great. I enjoyed the Brussels sprouts (didn't know it had bonito fish flakes but I will live), vegetable gyoza potstickers, Japanese street corn, and the classic edamame for starters. I also got a Fresh Garden sushi roll, which needed some spicy mayo, but was delish. Throughout the night, I enjoyed their espresso martini, which was me very well. Overall, great experience. read more

We came to Dragonfly Robata Grill & Sushi for a business meal so we were seated in a private room. There was even a projector and a screen for the host to show a presentation. Service was a bit slow, but the whole restaurant looked really busy even outside of our private room. A little confusing at first because staff gave us a few menus, so I thought we were ordering, but then they said there was actually a preset menu that had already been chosen. The menus are for drinks, but then they could have just given us the drink menu to avoid the confusion. Starters: We tried their brussels sprouts, yellowtail crudo, and crispy tuna rice. Nice start to the meal. I like that their brussels came with bonito flakes and how there was avocado with the yellowtail. Very nice twists on classics. The crispy tuna rice had more rice than I'd like. I've seen this better executed at other restaurants. Kitchen & Robata: In this section, we tried their garlic crab fried rice, crispy shrimp, miso-yaki black cod, Japanese street corn, A5 miyazaki and chicken thigh skewers. Love that they used a generous amount of real crab in the fried rice. The black cod was an interior take than other establishments and the street corn was really messy and not really familiar to what I actually had in Japan. The most impressive tasty thing was the A5 miyazaki, so tender and high quality. Yum. Sushi: I'm not a fan of rolls, so I'm not the preferred audience for this category. They served their cobra kai roll, smoky dragon roll, volcano roll, and the bomb roll. I find their rolls to be loose and saucey. I wouldn't personally come here for sushi. Desserts: We were given both the green tea tiramisu and the fried cheesecake, in which I liked neither. A modern twist on Japanese food. Don't come here if you want something authentic. Also on the pricey side. From their menu I liked the kitchen and robata items the most and didn't really care for their sushi. Overall a nice meal but nothing I would care to come back to revisit. read more

Magical Dining at Dragonfly Robota Grill & Sushi is on the $40 tier. They actually give you FOUR courses instead of three. Literally everything was good and they had amazing options to choose from for each course. They were also easily able to accomate my food allergy. I ordered the pork gyoza, brussel sprouts, the bomb sushi roll and the fried cheesecake. The restaurant is gorgeous and very big. They offer restaurant and outside patio seating. The service was slow to start but once they finished a large party they were very attentive and gave great suggestions. I highly recommend Dragon Fly! read more

I have been going to Dragonfly for years with my family. We've always enjoyed the general atmosphere and had good experiences with the servers. Went tonight and got to try their magical dining menu. Honestly, it was a fantastical value. I started with the miso soup, then the handheld temaki sushi as my appetizer. The temaki was good, it just had a bit of a kick that I was not expecting. For my entre, I got The Bomb Roll which was very good. For the dessert I got the red bean Taiyaki which was very nice. This all was part of the magical dining experience. Everyone I was with also enjoyed their food. Dragonfly was as always, very good. read more

This was a good place for a group for dinner. You may want to make a reservation. We had one so didn't really have to wait but the restaurant was busy so may be more normal to have some type of wait time. We had a bit of a tasting menu with different small plates that we shared. Highly recommend the sushi and the shrimp dishes. What really helped this restaurant to stand out was the service! The team was attentive and even though they were a little backed up at first getting the drinks out for the group, they kept us updated and made sure we had everything else we needed. The cucumber based drink was good - strong but still flavorful. The sake blossom/bomb (can't remember the exact name) tastes somewhat similar to a Cosmo, but a bit more fruity. There is some outdoor seating if you want to enjoy fresh air while you partake in some delicious food. read more

Met a Friend here for Happy hour and she was running a little late. My server was very kind and attentive, and she was so gracious while I was waiting with just a drink and a salad My Friend finally arrived and we had a wonderful catch up, while having one of the best meals in a long time. We both had a delicious hibiscus and tequila drink, some apps, and they were kind enough to recreate a sushi roll that had been removed from the menu, which was phenomenal. The manager came over to check on us as well at one point. All in all I give everything a 12 out of 10!! Thank You So Much Dragonfly!! read more

The sushi is very nice here! It's the best sashimi I've ever had. I have only been inside once and have mostly eaten here from Uber Eats. However, the inside is very great! Don't know if it's something that happens all the time, but when we went it smelled a bit weird, but I'm sure it's just the fish! The service both ways is fast and incredible, the waiters and waitresses are very kind too. Go here!! read more

I usually go here to catch up with girl friends during happy hour. The place opens at 5 and that's when happy hour star until 7. The happy hour menu offers a variety of great cocktails to chose from and different types of food items from sushi rolls, shrimp, street corn, edamame and so much more! The servers are extremely nice and take their time going over the menu. I usually sit inside but the weather has been nice so I sat on the patio and caught the sunset. The place is decorated nicely and has warm lighting to it that gives it a great date night atmosphere. read more

We ended up at dragonfly for Mother's Day. It's been a while since I have dined here. Didn't have a reservation so we sat at the bar and it was happy hour. We ordered a bunch of drinks. Ordered a few things from the happy hour menu. Chicken kaarage, skewers, rolls and sushi tacos. Ordered a hamachi Kama off the regular menu. Chicken kaarage was over done and rough. The hamachi Kama was too burnt. We asked for another one. I've had it at several sushi and Japanese restaurants. Never had it sooo grilled and charred before. It is not good grilled. Go for the hamachi Kama at Norigami! Service was good. We had a few bartenders rotating assisting us. I don't know about coming back to dragonfly. read more

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. read more

This restaurant has a good ambiance and the food is really good. I think one of the best in terms of food. We ordered 2 servings of the grilled A5 wagyu, satori makisushi, and order of 7 pieces sashimi. HOWEVER, we felt the service was terrible. It was just me and my husband that night. Im not sure if its fair to say but we had a terrible experience that night. Service was very slow. In between these orders were a minimum 20 minutes wait times, meaning most of the time our table was empty. They were serving the food one at a time. Our 7 piece sashimi took maybe 30 mins to arrive. So overall we weren't that satisfied nor thrilled to ever come back. read more

The service was FAST and helpful. It was my first time here and it was a BLAST. The atmosphere is dim lights and relaxing, as busy as it was it was a quiet ambiance and I am so full I could have rolled out of this restaurant. I can't wait to try happy hour next! The food was chefs kiss, the edamame was very flavorful and the skewers were my favorite read more

I can't recommend this place enough! After my trip to Tokyo two years ago, I've been wanting to go back just for the food, but I found Tokyo in Orlando. On a work trip, with five people, we sampled pretty much the entire menu, and it was nothing short of amazing. All of the rolls, sashimi, pot stickers, A5 Waygu, and short ribs, to name a few; brought me right back to my favorite places in Tokyo. The staff and service were excellent as well. I live in Virginia but would absolutely fly back just for dinner! read more

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 read more

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 read more
