I'm so sad that you hated it! We seriously eat there EVERY single vacation and I'd be sad if I had to skip it. I get the kung pao chicken. Guess that's how you spell it lol. And we get the dumplings as well and absolutely love them! Give it another shot. Hopefully you will have better luck BTW, this is the first time I've ever commented. That's how passionate I felt about Nine Dragons lol.

Thank you for going to all these restaurants and giving your honest review. Chinese restaurants are rarely consistent as it all depends on the cook. No two Chinese cooks (yes cooks, not chefs) cook food the same way. Like you said, you could come back next week and have a better experience, just depends on the cook. Keep on vlogging!

The honey sesame chicken is a must for us every trip. However, we just go in and share that and some fried rice and it’s kind of a lighter lunch since we share.

I really appreciate that you enjoy the red bean flavor. Taro, sweet potato, red bean are used very often in Asian desserts and I would say they are pretty comparable to vanilla but even creamier and richer/more decadent. But the names throw people off and I don’t think that they are able to give these flavors a fair chance.

Last time I was there was in September 2023. We had a great dinner. I ordered Kung Pao shrimp and my husband got the salt and pepper shrimp. Great dishes and reasonably priced. We also got right in no wait. We'd go back again one day. Not our first choice, but we enjoyed it. Honestly though we dipped in there to avoid the storm or we probably wouldn't have even went there. Then it didn't rain anyway but whatever that's Florida for ya!

Would not choose 9 drags on my own but years back when I took my nieces to Epcot and we needed a place for them to sit, eat and recharge it was priced right, easy to get a reservation and they were new humans for the rest of the night.

Nine Dragons is a MUST for our family for over 25 years. We always order the veggie rolls, Happy Family (not spicy) and Spicy Honey Crispy Chicken dishes. We always couple with fried rice and have not been disappointed. Sorry your meal wasn't the greatest - but go back and try these dishes - you will ENJOY!

I like the Orange Chicken at Lotus Blossom.. it's such a good deal and comes with mixed veggies that aren't Disney's standard green beans (Zucchini, Squash and carrots), rice AND and egg roll. It was a big portion and the chicken was tender too.. I actually thought it was better than my local takeout where the chicken is overcooked and hard to chew.

@tracyjohnson30986 ай бұрын
We were there last night. The Happy Family entree is THE BEST in all of central florida. You screwed up and ordered it wimpy so they tried to give you what you wanted even though the menu clearly says this is spicy. I assume their normal sauce was not something they could give you so you got an oily, weirdly yellow mess. Don't like spicy, then don't freaking order that item. Simple rule to live by. We order it with beef, beef, and beef instead of the chicken and shrimp. The beef is always, every. single. time, crazy tender and flavorful...I bet we've been there more than a dozen times in the past year. The lo mein noodles SUCK so just get it with the yummy white rice or upgrade to my hubby's favorite fried rice. We have dined at pretty much EVERY restaurant in Disney World and this is definitely in our top three. We also have several friends who are locals also and completely agree.

I would have sent it back and been very nice but told them the oil was the only flavor you could taste. Well and cardboard too. Just because you asked for the dish to be toned down heat wise doesn't mean it should have been covered in oil. I must say that was nasty looking. I would still try the restaurant. The table next to you the food looked good. So that is a positive. Thanks for the video.

Do you not send anything back? Just wondering. Also, I live in an affluent area and most Chinese restaurant's lunch specials (portion size equal to what you got) are about $11 with egg roll and drink. Disney's food portions and quality have diminished while prices rise. The magic has ebbed at the Magic Kingdom.
