FIVE-time Florida Trend Golden Spoon Award (2015 – 19) winner, Dragonfly Robata Grill & Sushi features authentic modern Japanese gastropub cuisine.

Our diverse menu features sushi, steak, veggies, seafood, noodles, and rice dishes, but a must-try on your visit—your favorite(s) from our robatayaki (robata) grill. One of the nation’s first to use traditional robata grilling techniques & white-oak (binchōtan) charcoal, our team has perfected the art of grilling using the smokeless 1,000° heat of binchotān to unlock the natural flavors of vegetables and proteins.

A favorite of locals, conventioneers, and tourists, Dragonfly is centrally located 3 miles from the Orange County Convention Center and IDrive, 4 miles from Universal, and 5 miles from Disney. Whether you’re looking to host a private event, chef’s table dinner, enjoy a fountain-side patio or just relax in the lounge, we’ve got you covered. Join us and share in our #artfulflavors!

Just to be fair, we've been regular patrons for about a year. We are in love with the ginger salad, shrimp skewers & pork pot stickers (sautéed, not fried). What's more is that these are all on the happy hour menu till 7:00 pm, so it is really affordable. The service is always good, and they have a large deck for outdoor dining. How could we not keep coming back? The only criticism I could have is that it is always cold when the AC is running, so dress warmly!
Dragonfly - Robata Grill & SushiResponded on 13 December 2024
Hello Tod, Thank you so much for being loyal patrons and sharing your thoughtful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that the ginger salad, shrimp skewers, and sautéed pork pot stickers are your go-to favorites, especially during Happy Hour. It’s always a pleasure to know that our food, service, and outdoor dining space keep you coming back. We appreciate your note about the AC and will take it into consideration. It’s great advice for guests to dress warmly. Thank you for your continued support, and we can’t wait to welcome you back again soon!

Service was not good. Waiter was pleasant but took a long time to get recognized and had to ask for drinks
Dragonfly - Robata Grill & SushiResponded on 13 December 2024
Hello CoryH, Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sorry to hear that the service fell short, despite the waiter being pleasant. Waiting too long to be recognized and needing to request drinks should not be part of your visit, and I truly apologize for this. Your feedback is important, and I’ll ensure it’s shared with the team so we can improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide the attentive and seamless service you deserve. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
