This place….where do I start. It’s a beautiful restaurant. The Asian culture elements are outstanding in the decor inside and outside the building. The service was great and fast. Our server was really nice and we appreciated his input on the dishes. But the food…..was not good at all. We ordered the Korean wings….they were covered in THICK breading that was so hard to eat and the sauce was so basic it was so bland. It was not good at all. I have made Korean style wings at home multiple times and I double
Fried them as well and they turn out 100x better and not that thick. Once we tried that we knew the entrees were not gonna be that good and we have been to Asia and understand it’s not gonna be exactly the same but honestly a cheap greasy Chinese take out would have tasted better than what we got. We ordered the Khao Soi noodles and the orange chicken plates. The noodle
Dish was super bland I asked the server for salt and pepper. The broth didn’t look like it was khao soi broth. It was so light and runny and it is suppose to be a bit thicker and darker. Now I don’t mind a noodle soup but don’t name it something it’s not. It was also pretty spicy when it wasn’t labeled spicy on the menu. I don’t mind spice but I didn’t want that today. It just tasted like coconut milk with some spice in it. The orange chicken was so thick with breading and when we cut it open a lot the them were raw and it was a tiny piece of chicken in them. Like how do you mess up orange chicken that bad. It was just terrible honestly. The only thing on that plate with any flavor was the greens. How do you call this fine dining and offer up mediocre food like that. This is not acceptable. Just because the restaurant looks nice that doesn’t mean it’s fine dining.
Do better universal because I would
Have dropped the rest of the park and gone to Disney Springs to Morimoto if I didn’t have one more ride to do. Don’t open up a park if it’s not finished to the best standards. This is how you get your guests to NOT recommended coming to the park to family and friends.

The BEST table service in Epic, hands down if you like Asian food and like moderate spice.
I want to preface this review by saying we have eaten at almost every restaurant in Epic / Helios, and your experience here might be entirely influenced on what you try. Expect group dining and shared plates. If you’re like me, I checked the reviews ahead of time to make a solid decision on what to order and what to skip:
– Korean Fried Chicken Wings – 100% worth ordering. Double fried to perfection with a sauce that is slightly spiced but really flavorful. Expensive for the portion (4 pcs), but worth it.
– Snowflake Pot Stickers – Good pot stickers, and a nice to add to your meal, but nothing groundbreaking. The provided dipping sauce makes them better, and I’d recommend them, but not a must try.
– Wontons in Chili Oil- Very good wontons but I wish they had a bit more heat to them. I’d ask for extra chili oil on them next time to bring them to what I’d expect, but others in our group enjoyed them as is.
– Xi’An Beef Noodles – Likely the BEST non-desert we ordered. Wonderfully thick noodles, cooked properly and topped with ample amounts of braised beef, spices, sauces, and green onion. There is no cumin in this dish, which is normally present, but nevertheless a MUST TRY.
– Beef and Broccoli – Better than what you’d expect! The Chinese style broccoli was really flavorful and cooked well, and the beef was about the same as your typical PF Changs. Worth ordering to round out a meal and for picky eaters.
– Banana Napoleon – OH MY GOD. If you get ONE thing here, make it this desert. This absolutely is in the top tier of all desert options at Epic, and you can even order it at the bar. 3 of us shared it after our meal, and honestly I’d come back for this alone.
– Baju Tropical Cocktail – I forget the name, but it had a somewhat smokey taste like a mezcal almost, but not as strong. The swizzle stick in it was very cute, and it was pleasant to drink. I wouldn’t necessarily HAVE to order again, but I’d recommend trying it.
The service was 10/10 and the most friendly we received at any table service. The team here is outstanding and I highly commend their dedication and patience with dealing with theme park guests, some of whom haven’t eaten at an Asian restaurant before lol

Our first time dining here in Epic. We hit fast foods in the park but this our first time at this restaurant. Check the photos for the atmosphere. Really nice. We loved the food. We had the dumplings, fried rice, orange chicken and a pot of tea. They have a great variety of tea. Our server was attentive and welcoming. We will go back. Check it out.

Top notch atmosphere, food, and service. I did the lessor Japanese whiskey flight. All were very tasty. If I return will do the premium flight. For appetizers the crispy calamari was amazing and plenty to share with 4 people. Wonton. With chili oil was good but I prefer mine with peanut butter- that is more Thai though.

As someone one who does Ramen Reviews specifically in NYC looking for the perfect bowl & Universal Fan finally seeing an Asian inspired restaurant made me excited to no end and yet my disappointment was immeasurable. While it looked absolutely fantastic The ramen was cold, the noodles still in a packaged square shape as I pulled them up with my chopsticks. The Eggs was almost frozen at the center & still runny. Even the pork was fatty & chewy. It seemed as if they were more worried about getting the food out fast & having a high turn over rate instead of the quality of the meal. Which is why they state early that when you food is ready it’s goes straight to your table. I love Universal Restaurants, I’ve been to every single one from margaritaville to mythos’s. It pains me to say this was the worst bowl of ramen I’ve ever had in my entire life. Unfortunately told my wonderful server & friend nothing of my true thoughts always worried about ruining other people’s day or mood but mine was definitely dampened. Our server Hung was a ball of absolute sunshine and was so much fun to talk to. Happy to see more non alcoholic options such as tea to share for the table, though our choice of flavor we soon regretted and they ran out of Tea Cups giving us shot glasses instead that amplify the heat of the cup instead of containing it. The ambience was fantastic, it’s a gorgeous restaurant regardless of seating. Want to go back and try some of the other menu items but pray the quality improves.

My party and I celebrated my best friend’s Birthday at Epic. For her dinner, she chose this restaurant and it was well worth it.
Niyah was amazing! She checked in our party and made sure the birthday girl was well taken care of. The food was exquisite and the atmosphere was astounding. Our Server Yessika is the epitome of exceptional customer service. She was very personable and an absolute delight. Not only did she help with recommendations, but she also kept us well entertained and highly satisfied. I’d like to thank the entire team for making my best friend’s dinner EPIC!
*I highly recommend the Sweet and Sour Calamari and Smashed Cucumbers as apps and the Dalgona Khaosan Road cocktail.

Spent a great day at the park and got super hungry of course. This restaurant is amazing. I did not expect this leave of food at the park. Certainly a wonderful surprise that made the day even better. I wasn’t sure if exactly what to get so we all got something and we shared at our table. It was a great idea. If you love the cooking and flavors not Asian food you best stop here. Very upscale with a flare of being at your grandma’s house. The staff went above and beyond during our meal. Food clcame out in a timely manner and was fresh and hot. The atmosphere was cozy in my opinion and the colors made it relaxing and yet dynamic. Stop on by come hungry leave full with a togo bag. You’ll be happy you did.

This place is absolutely beautiful inside. I love the colors. Our server was amazing and really sweet. He also gave excellent recommendations for the teas. However, the food wasn’t that great.
We got the chicken curry dish to share, but we didn’t love it. It didn’t say it spicy on the menu, but it had a good kick to it. It wasn’t terrible, but we could get a better chicken curry dish at home.
The teas were delicious. We got the Jasmine Reserve and the Orchid Oolong, which was recommended for us. They were both wonderful and we plan to buy them when we get home. However, the first set of clear cups we received were both very dirty. We were able to literally scrap off whatever was inside of both, but our server was able to gave us new ones.
Overall, especially for the price, it really wasn’t worth it. There’re so many other better choices in the park.

Great Atmosphere, Great Tea, Great Service
Blue Dragon is one of the only restaurants that requires a reservation at Epic Universe. It’s easy to do so on the website, or even same-day. The interior is a gorgeous, low light-dining setting with neon glow, floating paper lanterns, and abstract sakura trees. My waiter was very considerate and attentive, answering all my questions and providing efficient service.
The tea is excellent, and I also enjoyed my Tonkatsu Ramen and snowflake potstickers. The Mapo Tofu dish is also good, and I was happy it wasn’t too spicy (just the right amount of heat).

We had such a great experience at Blue Dragon at Epic Universe Orlando, and it was all because of Chase, the bartender. He went above and beyond with truly award-winning customer service and an awesome personality. It felt genuine and heartfelt — not just great drinks, but a real connection.
We came back the second night for Valentine’s Day with six friends from Pittsburgh, and Chase recognized us right away and gave our group a big, warm hug. That meant a lot.
If you’re there, sit at the bar and see Chase. He made our trip unforgettable. Orange chicken was mild spice. Yellow curry Chicken Khao Soi ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
