Customer Reviews
This restaurant is in Epcot. It is always crowded in this park and so is almost all the dining. This place is no different. Make your reservations. You most likely won’t get in otherwise. The price we paid for four people and a tip was around $270. Two people got the special with appetizers, entree and desserts. Two people just got an entree off the regular menu. Everything we had was amazing. Nothing tasted bad and we all ate the left overs. The cast members work extremely hard to provide good service. Sometimes we need to have a little grace with cast members because they are on the speed of 10 from beginning of shift to the end. We will return one day after trying all the other restaurants on our list!
Food was pretty tasty but giving only 3 stars due to portion size. We ordered a single order of Kung Pow Chicken, thinking it would be big enough to feed 2 people based on everywhere else we’ve eaten at Disney. Service was average, food was good but can only give 3 stars based on the small portion size compared to the cost you are paying for a single entree. The photo shown is half the portion of the entree as I had already pulled some out of the bowl.
At Nine Dragons in EPCOT, the food brings authentic Chinese flavours into the heart of the park. Each dish carries bold aromas, balanced seasoning, and that familiar warmth you expect from classic Chinese cooking. The restaurant itself feels like a quiet escape from the park’s chaos. The design leans into cultural detail, with interiors that give you a sense of place. The lighting and seating make it ideal for slowing down, enjoying your meal, and soaking in a different side of the Disney experience. If you’re craving proper Chinese food while park-hopping, Nine Dragons is a stop that delivers comfort, flavour, and atmosphere — a solid pick when you want real taste, not just a theme.
I was so pleasantly surprised with our dining experience at Nine Dragons. I am gluten-free and was very apprehensive after reading recent reviews detailing negative experiences customers had with workers understanding their food allergies. Our server, Jun was amazing though and went above and beyond. We didn’t even have to let him know about our allergies he asked almost as soon as we were seated. He knew exactly what menu items were off-limits and which ones were safe, including desserts. The bread-less sesame honey chicken (gf modification) and crustless cheesecake were phenomenal! I also got the crab and corn soup as an appetizer, also great (not pictured). The service was very prompt and friendly. We (party of 6) had our drinks, appetizers, meals and desserts all in about an hour. The
A 3.8. In Epcots China Pavilion, their main Chinese Food Restaurant. Trying to create Szechuan and Mandarin flavors. Beautiful clean restaurant with kind of very limited menu, which is the sad part of the review. Plates are presented ok, not large portions, with good variety of flavors. Appetizers are good, not excellent, most like re-cooked food. Cheesy crab wontons, chicken pot stickers, smoked duck bao buns, and vegetable spring rolls were good. Entrees are variable in flavor, minimal excitement on their presentation, and again normal portions. Smoked duck fried rice ok, Kowloon spare rib good but leaving aftertaste of burn. Best part the Uber cheesecake. Specialty cocktails were excellent. Minimal libations and wine list. Good place for small groups, possibly to visit once
