I ate at Nine Dragons for Candlelight Processional Package and was also pleased. It is exactly what you get in any chinese restaurant in any city, but I love chinese food so it was all good. I got half tristar appetizer plate (pot sticker, egg roll and shao mai---normally serves 2, but I asked the waiter if I could get it for 1 person), General Tso's chicken and ginger cake. My friend had gotten the honey sesame chicken and I tried hers, but I liked mine better. I am glad that I tried it, but I still have so many restaurants on to-do list so I won't be returning for awhile. I will be glad when they renovate it since it looks so dated.
I have been to Kona and was underwhelmed...the best part was the bread & butter at the beginning. I had sticky wings (nothing special), coconut almond chicken (no taste whatsoever), orange smoothie (wonderful!) and macadamia nut tart (similar to derby pie in the south---good, but I was stuffed).
