Despite the warnings of my fellow yelpers about the horrible service, my husband and I decided to take a chance and check out Dragon Sushi on a Sunday afternoon. Right off the bat, the parking lot is awful. There is a laundry mat in the same parking lot and a couple other stores. Luckily we found parking (but then someone decided to park in the red and slightly block us in). The service is pretty bad. We got there at 3:30pm. The hostess said she needed to clean a table for us and would call us when our table was ready. Well, she didn't call us, we had to check in if our table was clean. Maria was our waitress, she was OK. They seem to have a lot of young people working here. The owners really need to train their employees on hospitality and customer service. It would make a world of difference. We had one sushi roll and the calamari rings. We wanted to order more but did not want to bare with the bad service. If their service improves, we will be back. If not, then it's Sayonara, Dragon Sushi! read more

Came to eat sushi at Dragon Sushi. However, if you are allergic to imitation crab, they will not substitute with spicy tuna unless you pay the extra money. Wow, I guess this will be our last time eating here. So much for making exceptions for those who are allergic to certain foods and being accommodating. read more

This has to be hands down the best sushi place in The Valley. The Mango Tango roll and the Popcorn Lobster Roll are to die for. The Chavelas are awesome and they just expanded the place. The service is fast and very courteous. Highly recommended to all. read more

It's an a good sushi place that's near by there are some rolls I'm not a fun of but over it's a good place. It's better to get there early cus it does get pack on the weekends. read more

Terrible service. Had to ask for water, chop sticks and other basics, dirty and basic sushi. Very disappointing, would not recommend

I absolutely love this place! It was my first time going into a sushi restaurant and I was not let down. The service and staff was very friendly and the server was always coming by to check up on us often. The prices are pretty decent and the service, in my opinion, was fairly quick. I will definitely be going back to this place! I didn't get a chance to take a picture of everything else but it was great. The tamago nigiri was tasty. read more

My family loves Dragon Sushi! We first went to Dragon because we heard they had the best Chavelas in the desert. They are definitely delicious. What keeps us coming back, almost once a week, is the good food and the great service. Some of our favorites are the Hawaiin Roll (awesome if you love Ahi), the Ninja Roll, and the Monkey Brain (Crab & Spicy Tuna stuffed, fried Mushroom). Jane is our favorite waitress and we ask for her every time. She is so attentive and goes the extra mile every time. Even our 4 year old loves her, almost as much as she loves rice and miso soup, maybe more. When ever we ask, "Where should we eat?," She says, "Let's go to Dragon and see Jane!" read more

First of all it smelled like dirty rags when you go in and hostess was on her phone and had a bad attitude when asked if she could help us didn't even sit down already gave us a bad start didn't want to go in and get bad service either no matter how much we wanted sushi, went to sams sushi instead delicious! read more

This was the go to place for us since 2014. Up until recently the sushi was decent but mostly convenient because its close. We've had a couple issues these past few months with service but today was it. The staff just doesnt care. It seems like there is no communication between Host and Server. And there only seemed to be one server going around even though there were many people working, including a 'manager'. We got sat fairly quickly, and we sat there for at least 10min before getting a menu(we got the AYCE). Then waitied another ~15min to get a marker, one lady said she would bring a marker shortly, the. The server came and asked if we were ready to order before stopping herself and mentioned that we still didnt have a marker. We finally got one and were starving but we ordered simple things(2 rolls and a few nigiri). Yet it took ~30-40min for the food to arrive. When it FINALLY arrived it was like it had been in the fridge for 25min! It was stone cold! Literally the ginger on our plate was warmer. We were starving and ate some but couldnt even finish the one roll we each got(my gf and i). We complained to our server that we only wanted to pay for the food we got and leave as everything was so cold we had lost our appetite. Said she would get a manager who only instructed her to tell us we couldnt change our bill because there are rules to all you can ear and we ordered cold rolls. He could have easily came and told us himself as she was a little busy but he couldnt even bother to do that. I had to ask her to tell him to come over so we could talk. He only kept trying to say that we ordered 'cold rolls' and he couldnt change the price since we did AYCE even though we couldnt eat the 2 rolls we ordered. Eventually he charged us for what we ate and apologized for the wait. Its clear the people working there dont care about service for the customers. In the past 10months of reviews of this the owner has responded to ONE. So he if he doesnt care what people say good or bad how/why would the workers care anymore more than him. Its safe to say we wont come back and will/have found better places. read more

This is the spot to be! Whether you're local or just in town for a music festival, dragon sushi always delivers. The tuna dishes and the sushi pizza are my favorite. Also the drinks menu is really unique and fun! It's also affordable and service has never been an issue You should definitely go! read more

Service is bad. We were there for 20 minutes and they didn't even bring us waters. You're better off going to Coachella Pho across the street. We were fortunate to find seating and good service there (honest truth, not a shameless plug for another restaurant) There's not much to add to this review, because as I stated earlier, the wait staff was completely inattentive, and there appeared to be a lot of confusion over table assignments. Judging from the response that the owner posted regarding my review, I'm not surprised that the place has service problems. read more

It was my boyfriend first time coming down to Indio and I will tell you. I will not be returning anytime soon. This place is way OVER PRICED for no reason. My boyfriend and I got there at 6:40pm and we had asked for AYCE and by the time we got our menus it was 7pm. Then at 7:20pm it was last call for sushi and my boyfriend and I were like wtf. Whole experience there is that your going to feel RUSHED eating and OVER PAY for food that's not even great. read more

This is THE WORST PLACE TO GO TO. The staff is terrible and not properly trained the managers refuse to admit when they were in the wrong and will even refuse to talk to a customer about issues. They are spineless and childish. And that is my very nice way of saying it. read more

Dragon Sushi used to be my favorite spot but I've had two bad experiences in a row. They pick and choose when they will serve all you can eat, and if you buy a roll a la carte they will not allow you to substitute anything unless you pay extra. Even if your allergic. It's a pain every time. Not worth the time and money.... read more

What a terrible service and place. Manager doesn't have a business card. I feel bad for them

This place told me I was going to be waiting 20 minutes and i waited for over an hour, employees are really rude and disrespectful, and it took 30 minutes for my food to be ready. read more

The server Gabriel Zepeda was horribly rude. Coughed up an attitude, and made my wife and I feel unwelcome, and would catch him staring at us like if there was a problem. For sure we will not be back to that establishment with that kind of worker. read more

The sushi is always prepared with quality, on the other hand the service can be better quality, a new manager that knows how to train servers would be good, they need better people skill, i also noticed cooks drinking beer which shows how good managment is being implemented. The only reason i give 2 stars is for service Food is great read more

Fantastically surprised dining here for the first time. It was wonderful to know that some of the sushi chefs from Frankie's Fish are now at this location. My friends have been trying to get me to try this location and now that I have, I believe I found my new sushi restaurant. Everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time and it was such a pleasure to see people having a good evening--- both staff and customers. Luckily I have no problem chatting with people because through another couple (whom stated they dine here every week) informed me of the names of the sushi chefs. My sushi chef was John and he was very attentive to my orders and a pleasure to watch make sushi. I did the All You Can Eat (25.99 dinner) and Sea Urchin a la carte. Sea urchin was wonderful and the AYCE menu had a nice selection for the price you're paying. They do serve alcohol but I didn't drink any tonight. I recommend this place and will be dining again. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. read more

We decided to go here because selection is a bit slim in this area. Now I don't mind paying $23 per person for AYCE sushi. However, for that high of a lunch price, the selection should be above average. First thing I noticed missing was the Spider Roll. Second thing was Dynomite and Udon. Since we're already here, we thought we'd give them a shot. Right off the bat the server notifies us of the $1 per piece charge for lefty overs. I thought that was a bit presumptuous. We were well dressed and carried ourselves appropriately. That statement should be posted rather than spoken. The food did arrive fairly quickly. The presentation was pleasant. Not too crazy about the wasabi being automatically on all the sushi. That does not leave room for those sensitive to the horseradish. They had Unagi sauce and panko on all the rolls. This made all the rolls taste the same. There was also an over abundance of rice. The rice should never wrap around almost twice. You could only taste the sweet sauce and rice. If my wife didn't tell me, I wouldn't of know the difference. The Albacore was slightly chewy as if they had freezer burn. The octopus was quite tender. The eel sushi was perfect. Although there was hardly any on the roll. Here is the huge problem with our lunch! We are on our second roll when my wife finds a blonde curly hair on the bottom of a piece of sushi! She quietly calls over the server and shows the hair. There should be no doubt that the meal should be comped. If not mine, at least hers. They offered her a free dessert. How would that be comparable to a hair free meal? When they brought the check, they gave her 50% off of het meal. Disappointing to say the least. read more

My waitress was Miraya she honestly makes this place amazing she is the most attentive waitress I have ever came across. My water glass was never half ways because she always re-filled it The service with her was amazing I've been here before in the past I had a different waitress I didn't have the same experience as with Miraya certainly change my perspective about coming back to Dragon sushi read more

The service was very, very slow here. They had outside seating and did not seat us; they had us wait 15+ minutes and we could not leave. They did not offer to take our phone number to call us when or table was ready. There was no room to wait inside and it was hot outside. They were very slow to bring our waters. They did not refill them until we asked and were very slow at that also. The AYCE menu sucks. A lot of the rolls I wanted were not on the AYCE menu. I was not happy about it. Their appetizer selection on the the AYCE menu was small. Remember to ask for the AYCE menu specifically - it is separate sheet and was very flimsy and dirty. Also, $30 was too much for a limited AYCE. The one pro I have about this place was that the rolls we did taste were good. No complaints about the food. We liked the desert dots and the crunchy Philadelphia roll. I also liked the full sushi menu layout; it was easy to see which rolls were baked/fried or raw with the color coding system. However, I would not choose to return here. They need to hire more employees to meet the demand, especially during busy times - like the weekends. read more

Awesome Sushi. But, a/c was out. Miserable experience. The sweat coming off of my forehead and into my miso soup and sushi probably gave it the added flavor so, at this point I cannot recommend unless you want to send me your email so I can send you my sweet saltiness off of my nuts. Horrible! Not worth it...should've just taken my son to Mcdonalds and rolled my own sushi at home. read more

I came for dinner a few nights ago, we order the heart attack appetizer and right when I took the first bite I spit it out, the tuna taste super funky and it has taste as it was gone bad, and I addressed this to the server and she reply by saying "Nothing is wrong with it, we can't take it off the bill we made the tuna this morning". I told her I don't want it off the bill. I told her " I am telling you this because people could get simply sick" we had order already two rolls: the Philadelphia roll and the Hawaii roll. The Hawaiian roll the tuna didn't look fresh and it came with soy paper when no where in the menu it said it would come with soy paper I didn't even eat a whole piece it tasted gross! The server never came back to ask us if everything came out good or if there was anything else that she could get us. Please if you are looking for good sushi in the valley don't come here read more

My husband and I love sushi so we were very excited to find that a new sushi restaurant - Dragon Sushi has recently opened on Hwy 111 in Indio, which is just a matter of a few minutes from home. We have eaten there 3 times in the past 2 wks and are so pleased that each time we go we are so delighted with the quality of the food and the very friendly service. Dragon Sushi has quickly become our favorite sushi spot. Note....they are closed on Sunday. read more

Always have great service here. Thank you Gabriel and Josh for the great customer service. Love the Birthday singing. Thank you also to the bartender Crystal, the drinks were awesome! read more

The sushi is very good and is always presented beautifully. The specialty rolls are the best. They are usually really busy so it takes quite awhile to get your food. This place has the right ambiance, great food, but crappy service. The (few) servers look like they don't enjoy their job very much. They look irritated when you ask for additional sauces or a refill on water! Overall, this is a good place to eat but it's not a "sushi experience". read more

Yesterday was my first time at this establishment. My servers name was Marina and she was sweet and punctual. I told her my likes and dislikes and she suggested the sushi pizza and gorilla brains. They are definitely to die for. And I will be back! 5 stars dragon sushi. read more

What can I say...YUM! The mango roll, absolutely delicious! The prices are great too. It's worth it to come here and enjoy some great sushi.

Friday night date. Husband and I ordered the crunchy spicy tuna roll, really good and also the passion roll which was deliciously fantastic. Everything that we ever had ordered before has been outstanding. read more

Decided to order takeout from Dragon Sushi on NYE. They explained they were pretty busy and would call me in 40 min to let me know my order was ready. After an hour passed, I decided to give them a call to check in. They advised it was ready (No big deal. It's NYE, I get it) Upon arriving home, we realized our order was incorrect. So I decided to call the restaurant back and inform them of the mixup. They agree to call me back once it's ready (again, no big deal)...except I never got a call back!!! A couple days later I wanted to place a NEW ORDER and hopefully add what I had previously paid for on NYE and was very disappointed on how they handled the matter. According to them, they prepared the missing items and it was never picked up. Nothing else they could do. Really? You're willing to lose business over an APPETIZER. Pretty bummed with how the situation was handled. I've been a returning customer over the years. Needless to say I will no longer be. read more

We have eaten here multiple times, the service has been amazing each time. The food is great!

Best in the desert if you ask me.... always fresh fish, always great service.... a little hard to find since it is in a small strip mall hidden from the street. They have an all you can eat special with a great selection but I usually opt for a la carte ordering which costs me about the same. Sometimes I just ask Yazuu (my favorite Japanese issei sushi chef) to surprise me and I have never been disappointed. Don't miss trying this place out.... I think you will be pleasantly surprised at this hidden gem. Don't forget the hot saké or the saké bomb. read more

If you go ask for LEO ! He will take care of you. Enjoy! He will make your dinner an experience to truly remember!

I hated their service. They made me wait 20 minutes until I just got up and left knowing the servers weren't going to take my order. Didn't even bother giving any water or ask if we want any drinks. read more

We are regulars! Super good sushi and friendly environment. Def recommend if you're in the area (: Desert Dots are a must on the menu !!! read more

Great sushi at a great price! We always get the Sexy Lady, Ninja and Shrimp Lover rolls! I especially love the Philadelphia Hand Roll :) Favorite sushi spot! read more

Not their best performance tonight. None of the regular sushi guys are here and the sushi came out with too much oil, not spicy enough, no seeds...every roll just wasn't finished like it usually is & it was disappointing. Used to love this place. Miso soup was cold....told waitress, I think she tried to microwave it. Lol. No thanks! It was still just warm & I don't need to get food poisoning from soup that was cold and sitting around to begin with. We drive miles to get here since they closed the location in cat city...I don't think we'll bother aftert this trip. Seems to get worse each visit. read more
