“Okay this place was incredible. It was super unassuming by its looks but ended up being one of our favorite meals of our trip! We started with the enoki (very umami, savory but sour flavor so good), the chicken teriyaki (very good), the tuna nigiri(melt in your mouth), the signature tuna took (also melt in your mouth incredible) and the star of the show the black snapper nigiri. Absolutely order if that’s in the menu, I’ve never had anything like it!! Hot sake was good to accompany the food. Wasabi was excellent as was the ginger. We will absolutely be back!!“

“Great service. We dined here as a family as guests of the JW Marriott. The location was fun for our little kids who explored the gardens and enjoyed the lights after dark. The staff was friendly and more than accommodating when I asked them to find something that accidentally got thrown away (due to my mistake). The chef at our table was full of jokes and kept us entertained. The food portions were big!Nothing over the top about the food, classic teppanyaki but lots of fun, entertainment, and friendly and helpful staff.“

“Fast service, you order your food at the front counter. Sushi' is very delicious, and fresh. Can't beat the price! Nowadays fish are very expensive, this place is a local family owned, and I LOVE supporting local businesses. They have plenty of sushi menu options, as well as different type of hibachi, and lots of appetizers (edamame, gyoza, shrimp tempura, etc). I also got a cold glass of Sapporo. :)“

“I don't understand why people feel the need to hide behind a screen and leave a bad review. If you didn't like your experience, talk to the employees calmly, explain yourself, and work together to reach a solution. It's that simple to turn your 1 star review to a 5 star. Anyway, the oyakodon is amazing. The sauce and the veggies pair perfectly with each bite of chicken, egg, and rice. Even my husband, who was born and raised in Japan, could not stop eating it. I have been coming here since they opened and I will never stop coming here. And their service is ALWAYS great; they are so understanding and friendly.“

“Dragon Sushi is next to Dragon Cafe, only separated by a spacious outdoor patio with plenty of seating for both establishments. The decor and color palate throughout the restaurant is quite appealing, warm and welcoming. The restaurant has a feng shui flow about it. The booths, big enough for six, are quite private with high walls between them. We were quickly seated by the hostess and Angelica, our server, was quick to arrive full of smiles and asked to start a drink order. Plum wine and raspberry lemon drop were at the top of our list. The plum wine offered a refreshingly sweet, almost juice-like, experience. I had a second glass without hesitation and definitely enjoying the affects. The raspberry lemon drop provided a chilled, sweet and sour martini. For dinner we were served the chicken teriyaki bowl that came with miso soup and side salad with just the right amount of dressing that didn't drown the lettuce and shredded carrots. Perfect!Our other dish was the Passion Roll that brought the tastebuds to a tap dance over a menagerie of mango, tuna, cream cheese, crab meat, shrimp tempura, Serrano pepper and rice with a sauce that topped it off. Dessert anyone? Offered, thanks Angelica, but not at this table. Dinner offered plenty to fill us. The whole ride home I kept saying, "I ate too much."I'm so happy to report that the table was cleared as we finished our meal. Angelica was on it as quickly as she could be given she had other tables and was back and forth to the bar making cocktails for her tables. She checked on us a couple times during our meal to ensure we happy and if she could get us anything. Overall, fantastic experience: aesthetics, customer service, cocktails, food and cleanliness. We'll be back!“

“Creative sushi rolls. We ate indoors due to high winds and the atmosphere inside is pleasantly quiet and has a good modern vibe. We are gluten-free and my spouse has celiac so not gluten-free because it's trendy. They were willing to cater to gluten-free needs.“
