Patch Notes // updated 2025.10.31
EPCOT · Walt Disney World
Nine Dragons reopened on August 3, 2021 after being closed since March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic (the space had served as overflow seating for the nearby Lotus Blossom Cafe), initially running dinner-only Tuesday through Saturday.
After a renovation, Nine Dragons reopened in September 2008 with new etched-glass and carved-wood decor and a lighter, fresher menu that moved away from its older Americanized Chinese take-out fare.
Nine Dragons Restaurant opened on October 23, 1985, in EPCOT's World Showcase China pavilion, adding a full table-service Chinese restaurant three years after the pavilion itself debuted.
