Not an overall bad place to grab a bite of sushi/beer if you are in the neighborhood. Located inside the Paramount Hotel (which has a bit of an outdated interior, but still has its attractive qualities), as you walk into the lobby there are two Dragonfish areas – the restaurant to your left, and the bar to the right. Both appear to serve the full menu, but we choose to sit in the bar area. Grabbed a cozy table right in the window, overlooking the busy streets (great people watching).
We happened to be here for Happy Hour, and this is where Dragonfish scores points. It may not be the best sushi, but it is decent quality, and the Happy Hour menu is stocked with a long list of affordable, delicious options. I highly recommend trying it out for this menu alone.
We ordered a mix of items from the Happy Hour and Dinner menu, and were most impressed with the following:
1) Miso Soup – solid rendition of the Asian classic ($2!)
2) Dragonfish Salad – fresh and light, with a wonderful ginger dressing ($3!)
3) ORE-WAII ROLL - Salmon, mango, and coconut, dusted with toasted macadamia nuts, with blueberry wasabi sauce and coconut sauce.
4) Great beer/drink specials
Just because I think this is a bit odd, I wanted to mention that the restaurant/hotel lobby does not have a bathroom. You have to take the elevator down one floor…strange! The service was friendly in the restaurant, and the atmosphere is completely laid back.
Anyway, my guess is that Dragonfish turns out consistently decent meals (also notable that is has another location in Seattle), and for that they earn a solid 3. I would recommend this place a good place to grab an affordable sushi lunch.
