Nine Dragons

Frommer's Review

When it comes to decor, Nine Dragons shines with carved rosewood furnishings and inlaid ceilings. Some windows overlook a lagoon. But (is there an echo?) the food doesn't match its surroundings. Main courses feature Mandarin, Shanghai, Cantonese, and Szechuan cuisines, but portions are small and the prices are high, especially when compared to Chinese restaurants elsewhere. The dishes include spicy beef stir-fried with squash in sa cha sauce; lightly breaded lemon chicken; and a casserole of lobster, shrimp, and scallops sautéed with ginger and scallions. Groups that don't mind sharing can try the two- or four-person sampler plates that offer a chance to try a bit of everything. Chinese and California wines are offered.
