During my July visit to Universal Orlando’s brand-new Epic Universe, I made it a mission to try some of the exciting new dining options — and The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant instantly became a favorite. If you love great food paired with immersive theming, you need this one on your list!

A Night-Market Dream Inside a Theme Park

The moment you step into The Blue Dragon, you feel like you’ve been dropped into a glowing night market under a starry sky. Lanterns hang overhead, soft neon dragons wrap around the walls, and the entire restaurant radiates that perfect mix of energy and relaxation. It’s one of the most atmospheric dining locations I’ve ever experienced in a theme park.

It was the ideal break after a day of exploring the newest rides and worlds at Epic Universe — a chance to sit down, breathe, and just enjoy the moment.

What I Ordered: Crispy Orange Chicken Heaven

Let’s talk FOOD. I went with the Crispy Orange Chicken and it was so good. Perfectly crispy breading, a tangy-sweet sauce that wasn’t too heavy, and every bite was full of flavorful citrus goodness. Easily a standout dish from my whole trip!

There are plenty of other options on the menu — ramen, dumplings, noodles, and fun signature drinks — so there’s definitely something for every type of eater in the group.

Why You Should Add The Blue Dragon to Your Plans

If you’re heading to Epic Universe, this spot checks all the boxes:

• Delicious and approachable menu

• Totally immersive atmosphere

• A nice “treat yourself” sit-down moment during a busy park day

This isn’t just a meal — it’s part of the experience.
