Is it related to the Nine Dragon on Burbank?

What is the Chinese significance of the #9?

I'd call Dr. Henderson at LSU, but he never answers the phone.

Go. Went a few weeks ago and it was great. I think it's owned by the other 9 Dragon folks(which is the best cheap Chinese in town) but it's menu has more nicer items and less crap ones.

I was curious so I Googled. From Wikipedia (which basically sums up the rest of what I found):

quote:

Number nine

The number nine is special in China as it is the largest possible single digit, and Chinese dragons are frequently connected with it. For example, a Chinese dragon is normally described in terms of nine attributes and usually has 117 (9x13) scales - 81 (9x9) Yang and 36 (9x4) Yin. This is also why there are nine forms of the dragon and the dragon has nine offspring (see Classical depictions above). The "Nine Dragon Wall" is a screen wall with images of nine different dragons, and is found in imperial Chinese palaces and gardens. As nine was considered the number of the emperor, only the most senior officials were allowed to wear nine dragons on their robes — and then only with the robe completely covered with surcoats. Lower-ranking officials had eight or five dragons on their robes, again covered with surcoats; even the emperor himself wore his dragon robe with one of its nine dragons hidden from view.
There are a number of places in China called "Nine Dragons", the most famous being Kowloon (in Cantonese) in Hong Kong.

Yeah it is. I spoke with one of the workers when I walked in there the other day, actually. They went for a fancier style, it seems. I'll still go to the one on Burbank for the lunch special.

The ramen and takoyaki weren't that great, so it's put a bad taste in my mouth. I will try it again, but need recs
