About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for happy hour
  • Good for groups
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!

    Amazing experience the manager came over to ask how our service was, and the server was extremely professional, prompt, and accurate. The only note is that I marked that it was my birthday on the reservation and they did not acknowledge nor give me anything to celebrate

    One of my favorite underrated places in Orlando. Great bar, cocktail, wine and beer list to accompany very good izakaya experience. Portions are on the smaller side -- it's like Japanese tapas -- and so it's a little pricier than most, but the ambience is great.
    Dragonfly - Robata Grill & SushiResponded 1 day ago
    Hi Joshua, Thank you for the thoughtful note! We’re honored to be one of your favorite hidden gems in Orlando. Our aim is to deliver an elevated Izakaya experience, from thoughtfully crafted small plates to a well rounded beverage list, all in a setting that invites connection and comfort. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back for more soon!

    I have been going to this restaurant for 10 years and Cynthia knows how to make a customer feel special. For starters, she knows me by name and I have a very complicated name. Second, she’s extremely knowledgeable of the menu. As someone who repeatedly goes to this restaurant, I usually get the same things and Cynthia has helped me try new items on the menu. Her description and passion is what encourage me to try new things and I continue to love this restaurant. Sidenote, out of the 10 years I have been coming to this restaurant, Cynthia is the only person that knows me by name again. My name is complicated but for her to get it right every single time is truly meaningful.
    Dragonfly - Robata Grill & SushiResponded 7 days ago
    Hi SalathiaR, Thank you so much for your heartfelt message for it truly means a lot. Cynthia is a standout on our team, and the way she remembers your name and connects with you speaks to the care and heart she brings to every guest. Your words beautifully reflect who she is, not just professionally, but personally. She is warm, attentive, caring, and genuinely thoughtful! We’re so grateful for your loyalty over the past 10 years. Dragonfly is more than a restaurant because of guests like you. It’s a home where familiar faces, meaningful conversations, and great food come together. We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon for many more years to come!

    We have visited Verese sushi restaurants in the Orlando area for decades. Some have been disappointing some good some great and some extremely memorable. Dragonfly was extremely memorable both in its food and it’s service. Our favorites are black dragon and smoky dragon sushi rolls. From the grill, if you could only get one thing, you must get the bone in short rib. I’m not a huge red meat eater. I’m very picky about it. But I DEVOURED this dish. Everything is exceptional, but those are “must try’ choices. Yes, it is a little expensive. But sushi is never been known to be cheap, and I believe you get what you pay for. Dragonfly will not disappoint you!
    Dragonfly - Robata Grill & SushiResponded 7 days ago
    Hi Cash, Thank you so much for the heartfelt and thoughtful review! It means the world to us to hear that Dragonfly left such a memorable impression, especially from guests with deep experience dining at sushi restaurants around Orlando. We’re honored to be in your “extremely memorable” category! The Black Dragon and Smoky Dragon rolls are definitely crowd favorites and we couldn’t agree more about the bone-in short rib. It’s a standout for a reason, and we’re thrilled it hit the mark for you. Your words about quality and value are truly appreciated, and we’re grateful you see the care we put into every dish and every experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable meals!
