Chinese culinary tradition here is presented with care, where bold, aromatic spices meet fresh, crisp ingredients.

My wife and I stopped by for supper last night. This restaurant is located on the top floor between other restaurants of this food court. There are plenty of seating arrangements, including a large round family table seating around 12 people. If you are a large group, I would definitely suggest a reservation. The menu for this restaurant is very large. I would actually suggest you take a look at it before you arrive. Secondly, I would have to say that if you want items to come out separately (appetizer, then main), you have to be clear to the staff that you don't want it all at the same time. We received everything we ordered at once, kind of strange. The food did come out very fast and it may be my favorite Asian food restaurant in the city. It does not serve sushi, so Gan Bei would still be the place to go for this at this mall. As for all their other choices, you should definitely try this place out - delicious. Next, pay attention to their serving sizes - you can end up with way too much food...fast hahaha. The good thing is, this restaurant may have the best leftover to go setup in the city - they will put it in a plastic container and then heat seal the top of it so it can't spill - awesome (see pic). I can certainly say that I will be back, but maybe order a little less food...enough for two people, not four hahaha. Thanks.

I had a wonderful experience here. The flavors are authentic and tasty. Portions are great! There's a lot of selection to choose from as well. We had great service despite how busy it was. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very pleasant and quite spacious. The food came out quickly as well which is a great bonus. I loved that we got water for free too. The view from the restaurant is enjoyable and the decor is aesthetically pleasing. Definitely looking forward to coming back here.

10/10 no doubt! Our first time visiting turned out into one of the best experiences lately. Hostess Agnese took such good care of us that it returned our slowly crimbling trust of the art of hosting guests - it is not lost as long as people take and have time to learn from the best! The food was excellent, we loved everything we ordered (and what the rest of us ordered), delievered quickly and with authenticity. We loved the calm atmosphere and overall can suggest this experience! Will keep our fingers crossed that our luck with Agnese strikes again!

Restaurant with very nice scenery and atmosphere. I ordered a dumpling soup, which could have had a slightly better seasoning but overall a great soup, very big bowl.

SOLVED Just now ordered via bolt chicken noodles WITHOUT vegetables, you send them with onions and refuse to refund money!!!! Shame on you!!!!! Wasted food and wasted time!!! Edit: situation was sorted successfully. Looks like fault at bolt side. They are not communicating efficiently.

Really enjoyed Chinese food at 9 Dragons. Waiters so kind, friendly and helpful just made our evening. Food was spice enough for me, and dishes great size, beautiful is that if you need mild ir extra spice they can do anything for you!!! We will definitely come back to try more dishes, as choices are pretty good

The Food was amazing, the calamari was my favorite from what we had. The prices are shockingly low for the food quality. Will definitely come again :)
