Dragon & Rooster
★ 4.9 · 126 reviews Key West Opened 2026
Pan-Asian small plates, all night on Duval
Chef Chris Gaskill grew up in Marathon and skipped picking one Asian cuisine to run with. Instead Dragon & Rooster's menu jumps between Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Thai small plates on the same table.
It's built for grazing with a group, not a single main and done. Open seven days a week from mid-afternoon into the evening, right on Duval Street.

Dragon & Rooster would get 10 stars if possible. Food was super flavorful, light and delicious. Lara was so welcoming and a pleasure to speak with. We highly recommend.

Visiting Key West for the first time, my family had a wonderful dining experience at Dragon & Rooster! We ordered the Pork Belly Bao, Korean Chicken Wings, Pork Belly Ramen and the Filipino Jackfruit Lumpia, all were delicious & flavorfull! The Filipino Jackfruit Lumpia is my absolute favorite. It was unique and packed with flavor, even without the ground pork found in traditional lumpia, it was one of the best lumpias I've ever had. The coconut adobo dipping sauce was the perfect complement and made the dish even more flavorful. A special thanks to Lara for her outstanding service. She was friendly, gave excellent recommendations, and explained the ingredients in each dish so well, making it easy for us to choose. If you're looking for great Asian fusion cuisine, delicious food, and exceptional service, Dragon & Rooster is definitely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Key West!

Had a great experience at Dragon Rooster. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the ambiance was a huge plus. The atmosphere felt relaxed, modern, and inviting, making it a great place to sit back and enjoy a meal. The pork belly bao buns were the standout for me. The pork belly was perfectly crispy and had that satisfying texture that pork belly lovers will appreciate. The wings were also a pleasant surprise, with a unique flavor profile that set them apart from your typical wings. Everything was beautifully presented, the portions were generous, and thoughtfully prepared. Between the friendly service, great ambiance, and flavorful food, Dragon Rooster is definitely a spot I'll be visiting again. Highly recommend the pork belly bao and the wings!

We were a little hesitant walking into Dragon and Rooster because it looked pretty empty at first, but we’re really glad we stayed. It seems like they might still be new, or possibly seating people more toward the back, because the vibe definitely picked up once we were inside. We ordered the gyoza, both fried and steamed, and the bulgogi bowl, and everything was absolutely on point. The flavors were fresh, well-balanced, and honestly better than expected for a newer spot still finding its rhythm. The dragonfruit martini was also a standout—super refreshing and a fun, unique drink. Overall, the atmosphere was great, the food was excellent, and the service made it an easy 5-star experience. Definitely a place we’d go back to next time we’re in Key West.
