9 Dragons

Good sushi and fast service. The only complaint was they accidentally doubled my order and then expected me to pay for it. Lol

The sushi was just OK. The worst part of my experience was the service. The waitress never checked on us, I had to ask three times for a refill. It took 15 minutes to get the check. I will never come back to this establishment.

Never a disappointing night. This is my go to restaurant when I come to the casino for an event. Make sure Kevin is the one making your drinks… order the «Asian Chinese secret»

I was really skeptic in trying this place out. Since it’s in the casino, all I was thinking was crap food with $$$ trailing behind it. It was actually good! I don’t mind paying $$ for good food. We ordered veggie spring rolls, general tso, and beef lo mein.
Spring rolls came out hot and crispy, beef lo mein was not bland, and the general tso was crispy. They could have given a little more with general tso tho. For the price we paid, portion was kinda slipping there.
Overall I would dine in again. Waitresses were very attentive, water didn’t taste like sink water, prices were fair. Not bad.

I like to go to this place when I am at the casino. I have been several times and almost always get the General Chicken. They have nice portion size and a good spice. It can be a little sweeter than I prefer, but I would totally recommend it.

My girlfriend and myself come here reguarly for the traditional chinese cuisine which is far better than anything regionally available. The staff is very prompt and friendly and water and tea refills are always prompt.
Items from the sushi bar are asian infusion style which i am ok with, the fish and other ingredients are always fresh and tasty.
Our personal favorate fish is the stirfry peashoots a must have when dining at 9 dragons.
If you are in charles town and are in the mood for qaulity chinese cuisine this is the place to be.

For Charles town this place is pretty good. We’ve eaten here a few times we enjoy the calamari but I would not recommend the sushi here. Sone of the other items on the menu are pretty good if you are not expecting five star dining. You cannot go wrong with anything Chinese on the menu.

The honey walnut tofu is not on the menu anymore! Oh well. Still a good meal, albeit a little pricey for Asian. I’ll be back.

Just ate @9Dragon!!! Started off with delicious Sushi California roll & Crab roll w/​avacado!!! Entrée, Chicken Basil Thai Chili was AWESOME!!! We don’t live in WV BUT I have convinced my hubby to return just to this place.

Very pleasantly surprised at how good and fresh the food was here. The seaweed salad was awesome, even the next day my husband and I can’t stop talking about it and wishing for more. The sushi was prepared well and very good, and the wonton soup was great. It was so nice to come to a restaurant and not leave disappointed – it is hard to find a good restaurant in this area! Definitely recommend this place!

We had dinner on a Sunday night. The restaurant was relatively empty, with few booths occupied, yet our service was extremely slow. It took about 5 minutes just to get our drink order. We later found out from a friend who is a regular there that our server will remember you after one visit and takes a lot of time conversing with guests. We can appreciate that and were in no rush, so it was fine. I also work in hospitality and understand that everyone has good and bad days.
The food was pretty awesome. We started off with sushi– spicy tuna rolls, which were amazing. For dinner, my boyfriend had the general tso’s chicken which was delicious and very flavorful. I had the chicken and broccoli which was also very good.
Overall, awesome food! We will return!

We eat here every time we visit
Today, we ordered the edamame which enough to share and the wings.
I also tried the drunken dragon and my husband ordered the dragon’s lair
For our meal, we decided to get the generals chicken and shrimp fried rice
There is also a sushi menu that’s pretty good. I’m just not in the mood for it
Hot tea is severed complimentary once you are seated and it adds a very warm (npi) welcome.

My husband and I make the trip from Hagerstown just to have the chicken and salted fish fried rice. It is amazingly delicious! It may not be pleasing to an American palate, as the waitresses are always surprised when we order it. I come from a Caribbean background, and we eat a lot of salted fish. We have also tried the sushi many times, and the selection is pretty good, and fresh.

It is pretty good. Wish their sushi menu was larger. Singapore rice noodles were delicious. Ingredients were fresh. The beef soup on the menu was pretty gross. The atmosphere was lovely.

Had dinner last Saturday. It was early, about 6p, just a few other tables there. Some random thoughts:
— Service was OK, nothing great, nothing terrible. The restaurant, despite it being Sat night, was only about half full. The server was moderately attentive.
— You are coming here for the food. The spring rolls, as others have said, were good; light, a bit oily but fresh. The seafood lo mein had a good amount of seafood (although too much octopus, which I don’t like). Scallops were the size of ping pong balls, no kidding.
— Others at our table thought similar — their food was fantastic (drunken noodles and some beef and veggies dish).
— the hot green tea they bring you is outstanding (and free!).
— my brother’s bourbon he ordered was barely a splash, like 1% bourbon and 99% ice.
— those chilled orange slices, what a nice touch at the end of the meal.
I would come here again. The prices are typical ‘nice restaurant in a casino’ and not out of line. I think the bill with tip was $ 90 for four of us; so it’s cheaper than the steakhouse or even the buffet, but more expensive than the food court.

Good Asian food. Very accommodating if you are a vegetarian

What a great surprise! I came to Hollywood Casino with a birthday party, and was offered a reservation at the Final Cut, but declined because the prices were insanely expensive for people whose primary purpose is to gamble. The SkyBox, the sports bar and cheaper alternative, wasn’t taking reservations because of a Chinese concert for the Chinese New Year.
So when I went up to the 9 Dragons desk (adjacent to the poker room and OK Corral), it was a pleasant surprise that they were able to accommodate all 16 of us, at 6 pm, and had the formality of the Final Cut with the prices of the SkyBox.
Get the spring rolls-​they are cheap AND good! I had sushi that was tasty and filling. One of the guests really enjoyed the pork belly appetizer. All of the dinner meals were good and large enough to let everyone sample little bits. We all had plenty to drink and eat. All in all a great experience. The service was a little confused and slow, but I give lenience on that when you’re dealing with such a large group. They gave the birthday boy a piece of cheesecake for free. And it was DELICIOUS.
When the bill came, it was frankly a huge surprise that with the number of people we had and the food and drinks consumed, that the bill came to $ 33pp INCLUDING tip. I would definitely come back here the next time I visit Hollywood Casino.

The way they advertise this restaurant and describe the food I was expecting something stellar… but instead it really wasn’t any better than most of the other Chinese restaurants around the area.
I will say this: the menu at 9 Dragons has a much larger variety of dishes than most other restaurants in the area, and it has a lot of dishes that you don’t see on your «standard» Chinese restaurant menu in most places. However, doing a bunch of dishes that taste average doesn’t do anything to impress me. I’d rather see a slimmed down menu with every dish being a home run.
It’s not that 9 Dragons is bad… it’s simply average. If you happen to be in the casino already and want to grab some food in between throwing your money away without having to leave, then 9 Dragons would be an OK choice.
I was hoping for 9 Dragons to be more of a destination restaurant. A restaurant that was so good that it would be worth slogging through the smoke infested casino full of drunk gamblers to get a bite to eat. It is not. I have had food that is better at Shu Chens and the Peking, and I did not have to wash my coat 4 times afterwards to get the stink of casino smoke out of it after those meals.
In the end, I suppose 9 Dragons serves it’s purpose — to provide gamblers a place to eat inside the casino so that the casino can get them back to losing their money as fast as possible. Maybe that is why the food at most of the casinos restaurants is just average… if it was really good quality, it might make you want to linger over your meal, instead of getting back to plunking money in a slot machine.

Went here on a Saturday night… no wait, we got a booth right away… I
Our server was good but had to go ask about a couple simple questions we had… Was a bit dark, made it hard to read the sushi menu and the regular menu. Had to use the lantern feature on my phone (lol).
We had two sushi rolls; the spicy momma (spicy tuna, jalapeño and cilantro) and the mango tuna. The spicy momma was an inside out roll (where the sushi rice is on the outside and the nori is on the inside). Both rolls were very good but the mango tuna lacked a little flavor possibly due to mango’s being out of season.
We also had the dumplings (pan fried) and I was disappointed that there were only 4 and honestly I thought these tasted mass-​produced. Seemed to be the ‘standard’ dumping you get in any/​every Chinese restaurant. I was really hoping for some in-​house dumpings but I guess I expected too much.
For entrees we had the crispy shredded beef | celery, carrot, scallion and the Singapore rice noodles (shrimp, pork, curry, peppers, onion, hot chili), The Singapore rice noodles were AMAZING. I thought they were going to be drowned in sauce but there was NO sauce but yet the noodles were soft and very flavorful. The crispy shredded beef was tasty but I would have liked more rice.
The hot tea was some of the BEST hot tea I’ve ever had at a Chinese restaurant.
It did take our waiter a LONG time to bring our check. He got distracted by a large 8-​top and really neglected us after we got our food. This caused a deduction in his tip but we still tipped pretty close to 20%.
Total bill was only $ 48.00 for the two of us. We will go back. Just wish there was an easier way to get to the locale.

Tucked deep inside the Hollywood Casino. 9 Dragons is a very nicely decorated casino restaurant, wall-​waterfall included. But, it’s masking the mediocore food, lacking in flavor and quality. I do have to say though – this is the better of casino restaurants compared to your usual fare a la carte fares.
To start, the service was very slow. After ordering a combination of family style plates and sushi, the waitress dropped off our sushi condiments and asked if we wanted it delivered first. Unfortunately, it never was delivered first, and after a very long wait our peking duck arrived. The crispiness, fattiness is sure to win your hearts over, but it will doesn’t have that much meat or flavor for quack-​addicts/​afficionados. The steamed buns that came with it were VERY good. The sauce was very salty, so use sparingly.
In general everything tasted OK, just lacked extra flavor. For example, the congee was disappointing; the black egg wasn’t diced very much, so you got huge chunks to bite. The rest could have used a bit more flavor – ginger even. Our mussel casserole came with a ton of empty shells.
The sushi was standard, but they skimp in the amount of fish in it. Nigiri has a lot of rice, and the rolls only have a sliver of fish inside. Wasn’t bad sushi, and prices were comparable to sushi restaurants. ($ 5 a roll about)
I recommend trying any of their steamed items and picking a protein stirfry.
Standard free oranges at the end of your meal. Expect a delay in getting your cards back – it took us near 30 minutes, which allowed for some «eat this for a poker chip» shenanigans.
