    It was so hot that it was very nice to eat in an air conditioned restaurant. We loved our food journey and our waitress was outstanding and the server who dropped off our orders was so funny! The food was definitely different which we loved because it gave us an opportunity to try new dishes. We were so hungry and the food was good that I forgot to snap photos so I have the two desserts we ordered after our lunch. Also the cocktails were delicious and refreshing.

    Honestly, this was the best restaurant I ate at in Universal during my whole trip. The inside decor is 10/10 really nailed the set design. The lanterns were moving up and down, the trees, vibes were there for sure. I got the peanut noodle shrimp and that was so good. I had mediocre food at the park for the last 2 days and this, this was a wonderful surprise. I felt like this was more costly compared to other places around the park. But it was definitely worth it to have a good meal again!

    My family dined at The Blue Dragon since the rain was imminent. It was so hot outside and humid, that it was so nice to be inside a room with AC. Since we were just having a snack, we decided to dine in the bar area. The hostess made me put down my name and wait for a table, but the bartender told us we could sit at the 4 top no problem. He gave us great recommendations! I ordered the Yuzu Drop, which was so delicious and refreshing! My daughter ordered a Kyoto Sunrise mocktail, which she enjoyed. We tried the soup dumplings, the snowflake potstickers, and the beef Xi'an noodles. Surprisingly, the food was way better than we anticipated! My daughter is a soup dumpling aficionado and rated it the 2nd best that she's ever had. The wrapper was nice and thin. They were savory and had plenty of soup inside. The potstickers were crispy with the snowflake topping. They were both served with a delicious chili sauce on the side. My favorite were the hand pulled noodles. They were a little thick, but perfectly cooked and the beef sauce that accompanied the noodles was so good! There was so much sauce leftover after consuming the noodles, we ended up ordering a side of white rice to soak up the rest of the sauce. To top things off, our server then gifted both my kids a small bag of stickers and gave my husband and I koozies. Overall, we had an excellent experience at Blue Dragon!!!

    Absolutely obsessed with this, my new favorite restaurant at Epic (haven't tried Atlantic) and one of only two full service restaurants. Food is served as it's ready so be prepared to be okay with the food coming out at different times within your party. Not a problem for us, I'd rather have the food fresh than have it sit under a heat lamp. We sat in the bar area, but the vibes in the main part of the restaurant are immaculate. Love some dim lighting. I got the Beef Xi'an Noodles. The waiter told me it was like a 7 on an American spice scale & they were comfortably spicy. I really LOVED this dish and devoured every bite. The noodles had a perfect chew to them, and there was a solid amount of protein. Maybe a little overpriced for what it is but, it's theme park food - We know what we're getting into when we walk through the gates. We will absolutely be coming back here on future park visits.

    Great experience! The food was fantastic the scenery is awesome and the service was too notch. When you think of theme park food, you don't expect this type of experience. It truly felt like we were in an upscale Asian restaurant in Japan. Some of the meals were so big they were easily shareable. Definitely recommend.

    We loved our first dine in experience here at this restaurant. The design and interior decor were so intentional and elegant. The food was amazing and our server Sachoya was the best. Her outstanding knowledge of the menu and recommendations was superb! I wish every server that I encountered would have her level of attention to detail and warm hospitality made us feel the way she left us. What a FANTASTIC first impression!!! Picture includes their famous Tonkatsu Ramen which is to rave for!

    The food was really good. The environment was immersive, and the weight staff were excellent. They have very unique and creative drink designs, and the food prep and quality of the selections were really good. We treated it as a tapas restaurant and just ordered a number of things and shared. Great idea to get a lot of different flavors and options.

    We've eaten at many theme park sit down restaurants and this is now one of our favorites. From service to food to the decor it was fantastic. The entrees are largest enough for two people to share. The kids meals are served in bento boxes and are large portions as well. Our favorite was the snowflake dumplings. If you're in Epic universe looking for a nice sit down restaurant, I would recommend The Blue Dragon. I would recommend booking a reservation.

    Stopped in and the staff was so friendly and accommodating to our party of 7. The restaurant is a nice cool escape from the heat and crowd of the park. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were subpar. The orange chicken had no flavor and two of the three orders of fried rice were burnt. The skin on double fried chicken wings was basically separate from the chicken win itself and felt more like biting into a hard candy. The Dan Dan noodles were decent and just tasted like a red meat sauce. Overall, Karin was great and made our experience better while visiting.

    Pot stickers

    So this may be unfair, because I have had good Korean and Chinese food before (and, if you haven't, this place may be fine). If you have, then these are pretty close to the worst versions of all those. We had the chicken wings, which were really, really crispy (really, to thick and crispy compared to BonChon or any other Korean chicken place we've been to before), and the chicken meat itself was kind of slimy beneath. The orange chicken tasted only like bitter orange and oily fried chicken chunks; when the white rice touched the orange sauce that also became unappetizing. The Dan Dan noodles were probably the best main we tried, and they were much worse than other versions I've had, but at least passable. The potstickers were actually good, but nothing better than the kind you reheat from frozen from Costco except for the snowflake covering. The cucumbers were OK but really vineggary (that was a major flaw of all of the dishes). All in all, I would never order any of those again, especially at the price point. Service was very good.

    Servers are nice and attentive the food is just really mid some food came out like warm-ish? Orange chicken was very sweet and peanut shrimp noodles had little flavor environment/decor is very stereotypical per-formatively asian... DONT GET THE KOREAN CHICKEN WINGS ITS AS HARD AS ROCKS

    Sweet and Sour Calamari

    Ok. So. Yelp still doesn't offer half stars, but this would be more like a 3.5. What's great? The ambiance. This restaurant is BEAUTIFUL. I really love what they've done with the decor and mood of the place and it's a gorgeous addition to Epic Universe. What's less than great? The food. It's not bad by any measure, but it's pretty basic A.F. and WAY overpriced. If you're looking for an exotic Chinese food experience, this isn't it. If you've been day drinking and looking for some greasy buffer American style Chinese food 101 to keep the day going, Blue Dragon is the right choice. It just so happens that we had a drink in us and we needed that grease, but the food left us heavy, tired, and sleepy the rest of the afternoon which put a bit of a damper on the festivities of exploring Epic. It may also have been what we ordered (spring rolls, sweet and sour calamari, Dragon fried rice, and cucumber salad). But most of the menu is carbs and/or fried. Everything was tasty enough to eat, but nothing really stood out as unique interpretations. What's not great? The drinks. They are beautifully presented and sound very interesting on paper, but holy sweet saccharine Batman...these drinks are diabetes in a cup! I had the Szechuan Smash and I tried to get thru it but I after 3 sips I just couldn't. It was so sweet that it overpowered every other note in the cocktail. My hubs had something non alcoholic with dragonfruit boba. This is a guy that would mainline simple syrup if it was an option. He lives for sweet sugary drinks, but he could barely make his way thru half of this before he had to throw in the towel.

    Calamaris are yumazing
    Jisoo B.

    If the reservation is too full, try the bar inside - full service food and friendly bartenders. We ordered the calamari and wontons in chili oil. The stardust tea is house blended and very special! Worth it.

To start, I ordered the spring rolls and the salmon bites. Both appetizers were delicious and made excellent starters. My only suggestion would be to include a little more sauce with the salmon bites. Even so, they were incredibly flavorful and enjoyable on their own. For my entrée, I had the lamb chops with basmati rice. The lamb chops were absolute perfection--cooked perfectly, tender, and seasoned exceptionally well. The basmati rice, however, was a bit dry, and I think it would have been much better with a gravy or sauce. Looking back, I wish I had ordered the mashed potatoes instead. I also swapped out the roasted potatoes for French fries, which ended up being the better choice for me. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience with delicious food and a great atmosphere. The lamb chops alone are worth coming back for, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

It's stuffed with a good amount of chicken, goat cheese, some veggies, and is served with this not-so-tangy mustard sauce. For all the food that was provided, this is such a good deal. There are a ton of other menu items available, that the "Get 'Em All" doesn't cover, that are also definitely worth trying. The entire place is eclectic and oozing with art and creativity. The walls are covered in paintings and other art pieces made by local artists. Each artwork can be purchased to support them. Sometimes there is a live artist working on their art. You can support them directly by purchasing some prints or any completed pieces they have on display.
