Nine Dragons Restaurant - Epcot

When visiting Epcot at Walt Disney World it's always part of the experience to walk around the countries and visit their restaurants.  Recently we visited the Nine Dragons Chinese Restaurant and the experience was worth it.

We made reservations at Guest Relations earlier in the day and when we arrived we were greeted and seated promptly.  (Our server is the lady right behind the man walking out).  She was most gracious and her service along with her manners were excellent.  We started out with an egg roll appetizer and drinks. Our dinners came out perfectly timed and they were delicious.

My daughter ordered the Kung Pao chicken with white rice.  I had the fried rice with ham, pork, broccoli, and a skewer of shrimp.  All the food was masterfully prepared and very difficult to finish.  We actually could have done without the appetizer but we haven't eaten there before and wanted the whole experience!



It was my daughter's birthday (Big 13!) so they brought her a complimentary slice of birthday cake with a candle, sang her Happy Birthday, and also included a card with birthday wishes hand scribed in Chinese!  I've never received this type of attention, and so sincerely presented, that it made the whole experience priceless.



I know I went a little crazy with the photos but I was that impressed with the restaurant.  All the restaurants at Epcot have staffs who are actually from the countries they represent.  It enhances the ambiance and the tourists (and us) love it.  The prices aren't too bad.  Dinner ranges from $12.99 to $35.99 per person. Drinks not included.  Our ticket out the door was $50.00.  If you have the Disney Dining Card it can be used at all the Disney parks.

This time I was actually able to post a menu you can read.  We give the place an "A+" for management, service, cleanliness, atmosphere, and friendliness.  Prices are a little high but to be expected at theme parks.  If you go I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.  Thanks.
