Hey, everyone!
Chrissa here and if you're heading to Epcot
and thinking about adding a reservation to Nine Dragons
to your day, then I'm going to go over all of the details to help you decide.
So let's get into it.
Nine Dragons is located
in the China Pavilion of the World Showcase in Epcot.
And if you're looking for a contemporary Chinese cuisine amid ornate
wooden carvings, traditional lanterns and exquisite
glass work, this restaurant might be for you.
This restaurant is located right at the beginning of the China Pavilion
on the left hand side as you walk through the beautiful ceremonial gate.
We came by on a Saturday morning right when they opened with no reservation,
so we were lucky enough to be able to get seated right away.
You can make your reservations for Nine Dragons online,
but it has been difficult to get reservations anywhere
for any table service restaurant in Epcot, so we thought we might as well
try to get seated if we walk up, and that totally worked.
The restaurant is a decent size with a good number of tables
and I loved all the intricate woodwork throughout the space.
We started our meal with the chicken pot stickers, which were crispy and delicious.
I always love the sauce that comes with these pot stickers.
It's so good.
For our entrees, I went with the crispy duck fried rice,
which has this delicious crispy duck
served on a bed of fried rice, which I couldn't get enough of.
I did kind of wish that we weren't spending the rest of the day in Epcot
so that I could have boxed up the rest of this fried rice to enjoy at home.
For our other entree, we went with a spicy honey crispy chicken,
which is served with steamed broccoli and white rice.

We finished our
meal off with the Boba Blue Magic, which is one of the 50th anniversary
celebration desserts that are featured throughout Disney World.
This beautiful dessert comes with housemade
butterfly pea flower ice cream and blue
lychee jelly topped with creamy milk cap, blueberry
popping boba, crunchy toffee and a fortune cookie.
And I have to admit that I loved everything about this desert,
except for the lychee jelly at the bottom, which I wasn't a really big fan of,
but everything else that came with it was just absolutely perfect.
So here are my final thoughts on Nine Dragons.
The food here is great.
You can definitely tell that you're
receiving quality food and if you're looking for a good meal.
Nine Dragons is a great choice.
So for the food rating - I'm going to give this a four out of five stars.
For service - I have always received great service here
and any Disney restaurant and Nine Dragons is no exception.
I'm going to give this a perfect five out of five stars.
For unique atmosphere - this restaurant is beautiful
and it is a decent sized restaurant and I love all the wood details
throughout, so overall atmosphere of their restaurant is really good.
However, if you're looking for something that is a bit more unique,
this restaurant really doesn't have a really big wow factor to it,
so it doesn't rank very high in the uniqueness factor.
So for unique atmosphere, I'm going to give this a three out of five.
Value - The prices are not bad for a table service restaurant here in Disney.
These dishes are delicious, and for an average
price of about $20 per plate, it isn't bad.
So overall value for this restaurant,
I'm gonna this a three and a half out of five stars.
Ease of booking - you can have a difficult time booking Nine
Dragons online, but since we were able to walk in on a Saturday around
lunch with no reservations and was able to get seated
right away, I'm going to give this a three out of five stars.
Overall, if you're looking for a great restaurant
as you make your way around, Epcot Nine Dragons is a great choice.
Especially if you don't have reservations,
there's a good chance that you might be able to get a table
anyway if you walk in early enough during lunch like we did.
