Dragonfly Sushi: 1 thumb up
Menu Highlights: Meh
Price range: Rolls range from 5-20 bucks depending on their ingredients/complexity
Smack talking on Dragonfly is akin to criticizing the kid who beat Polio to become President of the United States of America. Or, at least it's like mocking the guy who beat clinical depression to become guitarist in the Presidents of the United States of America. In other words, they're a great hometown small business success story, so naysayers aren't welcomed.
That being said, this place is WAAAY overrated. Sorority girls expect to be taken there for their birthdays, and dude's think they're sure to get some action by bringing a date (note the correct usage of "their" there" and "they're"). It's nearly always impossible to get a table and the rolls aren't that impressive.
(See yesterday's post about Ichiban for my sushi guidelines)
Dragonfly doesn't really meet them either. The rolls are almost always very small. Now, I typically enjoy rolls with pieces of fish on the outside and believe these are to be the most impressive pieces the chef uses: The Money Fish. They are to be beautiful and generously sized, covering the top of the rice completely. Dragonfly doesn't seem to agree, as the top pieces are always small and unimpressive.
I seem to only end up here when it is somebody's birthday, which is fine. It has a really trendy/hip atmosphere that always makes me think of a Japanese Cheesecake Factory. I think you could do alot better for your buck if you head out to Fuji in Jonesville, but then again it's way in no man's land. I gave it one thumb up because it's not THAT bad. Also, you might meet some drunk birthday girls and, who knows, you just might get lucky.

Ahahahaha. Yep.
ReplyDeleteYou used they're/there/their right but you had an apostrophe error in the same sentence! Grammar policing aside, I also find Dragonfly to be really mediocre.
ReplyDeleteI boycotted Dragonfly years ago based on all of the above. I always thought it was overrated, then one night upon the request of some friends I made reservations. We showed up on time. They told us to wait. After 2 hours of being put off, and waiting in the lobby, and sitting next door at 101 drinking, we just left and went to Ti Amo, which -- while it is not sushi -- is much better in the first place.
