Dragon & Rooster

My new favorite restaurant in key west! I’m always in favor of Japanese food but this place takes it to the next level. Great touch with the complementary green tea when you sit down. The menu has a lot to offer so I came back a few times and loved every dish! My favorite was the jungle curry and how they incorporate black rice in a lot of the dishes. Next i would try the oxtail pho.

My husband and I stopped for a dinner mid last week. The place wasnt very busy, as expected for mid week and a newly opened restaurant. We started with a couple of appetizers and miso soup- all delighful. We followed up with fried rice (if vegan ask for no egg even though there is V next to the dish) and green tea noodles, both were prepared very well, LOADED with veggies and flavor. For dessert we got the donuts w caramel sauce. We truly enjoyed every dish. The portions were amazingly big, the presentation was very nice as well. We did not try any of the cocktails but I had a nice glass of Sav Blanc (wine selection by the glass is pretty good), and husband had a couple of beers. The service was very prompt. You can tell everyone is still learning but I have no doubt that within a few wee

We have been here twice already and the flavors are amazing. First visit we had the OXTAIL and Shrimp & Lobster fried rice! They both were incredible. This time we shared the Dragon Fried Rice (mild.. just a little chili oil) this easy heat added the perfect touch to a very flavorful dish! But they can turn it up! Chris the executive chef is always ensuring all is perfect, and our server, Laura really took great care of us!

Jordan helped us to the table and got us started. Very friendly. The experience was great from the beginning. They give you complimentary green tea. I had the hiccups and requested ginger tea. Jordan was kind enough to make a separate pot. Laura was kind, took our order quickly and made sure water was full. Checked on us many times and cleaned the table in a timely manner. We ate teriyaki chicken bowl, chicken bulgogi bowl, and oyster mushroom miso shumai which were all delicious. The ambience was nice with quiet music. They give a 15% military discount. Will definitely eat here again and recommend to other people.

My husband and I went there last night and it was wonderful! We a sat at the bar and had wonderful service from Erica. We were greeted with a complementary cup of hot green tea. We then ordered edamame and Shishito peppers for an appetizer. Very flavorful! I had the dish photos below, and it was outstanding! My husband had the Rooster Rice, an he liked it as well! Everything was fresh and hot! The chef came out to make sure everything was good. Always a nice touch. We will be back!
