Taste of China

[Wildcard]

Anyone try this @ Nine Dragons? I am thinking about making a PS here for lunch. This sounds like too good of a deal to pass up. MY gf LOVES hot & sour soup, and the rest of the samplings sound very good, also.

We enjoyed it a lot!!
I would definitely do it again.
Loved the ice cream!!

We tried in August for the first time and really like it.

I thought Nine Dragons was much better many years ago. Maybe it's just me, but it seems to have slipped some over the years. Some of the dishes are not much better than my local take-out or buffet. Then again, I may be a little picky, too. I usually choose other places to eat in EPCOT...

BUT don't miss the Red Bean Ice Cream!!! That has only improved over the years! YUM!!

What is this? Is it a buffet/all you can eat? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Not a buffet per se rather an unlimited sampling menu of chef's choices.

Thanks for the info! I think I will indeed make this PS. I have traditionally avoided this restaurant due to its bad rep, but this sounds like a good deal.

It's a sampling of a few dishes (see their lunch menu). They start off with soup (my husband said the hot and sour was great and he eats in Chinatown in NY often). Then they bring the rest of the food, it's small samplings and they will bring out more of all or anything you would like.

I don't know exactly what's in it but it is dim sum. It's similar to Pork shumai.
