Nine Dragons

No vacation destination would be complete without Chinese food--and Epcot satisfies the need with Nine Dragons, a terrific table service eatery with plenty of Chinese dishes which are sure to please!

Nine Dragons shares the China Pavilion in Epcot's World Showcase with a counter service establishment known as Lotus Blossom Cafe. Lotus Blossom underwent a comprehensive remodel in early 2007, and the decor is very modern/contemporary with an Asian feel that you're sure to enjoy.

The menu at Nine Dragons has plenty of choices--including the ever-popular General Tso's Chicken, which is a plate of boneless chicken breast nuggets fried and coated with a spicy sauce--it's like having your fried chicken nuggets pre-dipped in barbeque sauce! Aronda as well as several members of her staff love General Tso's Chicken.

Nine Dragons is a fabulous restaurant...now. But it wasn't always this way. For quite some time, the food was considered by many Guests to be mediocre at best, and this place became one to avoid. In the past year or two, Nine Dragons has tightened up its act so that now it seems to be getting consistently good reviews. The best thing about its longstanding reputation is that many Guests still avoid it, making it easier to get a table as a walk-up Guest than at most of the other Epcot restaurants. At this time, our biggest complaint is the brusque service from the wait staff--we've never been treated rudely, just with a cool efficiency that's very much unlike what one would expect at Walt Disney World. On our last visit in May 2007, however, we found our waiter to be friendly and attentive to our needs, so hopefully this too is changing for the better.

Entrance is on the side along the walkway leading into the China pavilion
