disorganized service and cold food

Was disappointed this last visit on 8/29. We were seated pretty quickly. We had only gotten our salad and bread, when the assistant waiter started bringing over meats and they were cold. We waited a long time for our appetizers and the potstickers were also cold. When they brought the meat around they forgot the sauces and we did too. By the time they did bring them to the table, we were done with our meal. The bread pudding was excellent and the best part of he meal. Despite this, I will be back to try it again, having gotten several great meals here in the past. This visit was a disorganized fiasco.

1st time eating dinner at 'Ohana...we loved it. Due to busing issues, our party didn't arrive at the same time. They were gracious enough to sit us until the remainder of the party arrived. The food just keeps on coming! There is plenty to eat for everyone and is delicious. Entertainment for the children as well as educational on the culture of Hawaii. We would definitely eat here again!

The bus ride back to resort

Excellent staff service. Reminded me of Brazil with the meats on a stick served by waiters roaming from table to table. But we could have used a flag on the table to signal we are full.
Wonderful salad with a very special dressing started the meal. Then chicken wings with toasted sesame seeds. The pot stickers were stiff. The meats came one right after another. I liked the beef, pork and shrimp. The chicken was dry.
The bus ride back was not a Disney experience and it was painful, awful and cold. Take a cab.

We started our week off at 'Ohana on 7/14. We had a party of 12, with some really big eaters. None of us had ever eaten there before. We were not disappointed. The food was incredible, I could have eaten the dumplings and wings and been totally satisfied. From salad to dessert, 'Ohana is a definite for our Disney Dining experience for years to come!

We went on Father's day and one person in our party had never eaten there. This was our 2nd visit and it didn't disappoint us. I fell in love with the chicken with the peanut sauce. They had chicken, steak, pork, and shrimp. The Polynesian is my favorite resort anyway so spending anytime there is a plus for me. The entertainment was pretty good. There was a couple that was celebrating an Anniversary and they lived in the next town over from us. Small world. We would definitely go back!

I continue to be amazed that 'Ohana gets negative reviews. It must be that it's excellent 98% of the time and absolutely horrid the other 2%...
We (myself & DH) arrived a bit early for our 9:30 res, but went ahead and checked in to request a "Wishes view". The 2 cast members seemed annoyed on both counts. Maybe they'd had a long evening?!
Our server was fantastic, if slightly over enthusiastic!  And the food was wonderful- all of it. We were celebrating our anniversary and she brought our "kissing cupcakes"- precious! And also snuck us a to-go box for our cupcakes AND the bread pudding since we were SO very full! Can't wait to return in December '12!!

I honestly don't understand all the hype about this restaurant. We ate here on July 16th at 5:05 we were seated within 15 minutes. We were given our bread with no butter then we had salad, it was good, but then they went straight to the meats our server skipped our appetizers and our side dishes and when I asked if we could have our potstickers, noodles, broccoli and chicken wings she replied someone should bring them sooner or later  Well we finally got them at the end of our meal when our server was ready to give us our ticket and I had to ask for drink refills and dessert! If you have free dining and you want to eat here go ahead, but we were self pay and I don't ever want to return.

This was the best meal of our entire trip! The food was amazing! Every course we thought was the best until the next course arrived  The bread pudding was delicious, and even though we were stuffed and didn't think we could eat another bite we still managed to finish it!

I really don't understand all the good reviews that this place has gotten. My husband and I had dinner here on June 17 and it was just short of terrible. It started out with a tired, over-worked waitress who clearly could not wait to end her shift. Like-wise the busboy. The salad was excellent, I will say, with a very easy hand on a nice, light vinaigrette dressing. We could have made a meal of just that and wished we had. The pot-stickers were bland and hard - very dried-out. The wings were OK. The noodles that everyone raves about were gummy in texture, tho tasty. The skewers - terrible. The beef was over-tenderized - mushy. The chicken was dry. The pork was the best, but over-salty. We hardly saw our waitress to ask for more beverages. Forget seconds on the meats. Oh, the veggies were pretty good. Dessert was excellent, I will say. We will never go to this restaurant again. Maybe it's real allure is the all-you-care-to eat, but it's not worth eating all-you-care-to eat of bad food at those prices.

We had a late ressie, about 9:20..Seated quick, but I think the staff was ready to go home. Food was o.k but you had to "flag" down the servers to get anything. We were a group of 8 and a 60 minute meal took 2 hrs. We did love the fireworks!!!!

We ate here for the 1st time May 29 and enjoyed it so much we cancelled a crab leg ressie to go back our last night there. Food, service and atmosphere are all top notch.

What a fun experience!!! My family of 3 ate dinner here in April. We waited for about a half hour but were lucky to grab a comfy chair near the bar to wait with yummy drinks in hand! The kind woman seating us explained how the meal would be served and what to expect. The food was right up my alley! I would have been happy with just the salad, potstickers and wings!!! The noodles and veggies were tasty, but were barely touched because of all the other food. The beef was perfect and the chicken and shrimp were good, but my serving of pork was dry. My DD was not crazy about the seasoning on the meat, but had penty to eat. The dessert was awesome and I wished I had saved more room to enjoy it! The entertainment was fun to watch and overall it was a great dining experience!

I booked 180 days in advance and sure am glad I did! When visiting the World, we like to have one Family Date Night and get all dressed up. This year 'Ohana was the winner.
We had an early ADR at 5:30 and there was already a huge line. We were seated after a short wait at a table by the window and the grill. Perfect view! When we got seated the "ukelele lady" came out and did her thing. Too much fun. My DD ages 6 & 12 thought she was great. She even mentioned my "Happy Birthday" button and commented that we were both 29!
The food at the top of the meal came fast and furious. I know that many folks visit 'Ohana and then return to the parks. Haste makes sense for those who want to eat hearty and then head back out. However, I had to mention to the server that we were on date night and slowing down and enjoying was part of our evening. I am happy to say that the one comment took care of things. There was no pressure to eat and get out.
The bread is yummy, but try to avoid it. The good stuff is coming later. The salad was delish. DD had seconds. The steamed veggies went ignored when the pot stickers and chicken wings came out. The wings are sticky and this was a deal breaker for DD age 6. The peanut lo mein noodles were fantastic. I could have made a meal of just them. However, the massive grilled shrimp were the best. (the pork was good too...) My girls ate shrimp like there was no tomorrow. They were that good.
The bread pudding really is as good as everyone says. DH had seconds and cleaned the bowl! We would go again, and must remember to give the wait staff a heads up before the meal begins.

When we went in May, I was really excited. I booked us at 9:30 for Wishes at 10. When we checked in at 9, I requested a window seat. The hostess was fairly rude about my request, but we were ultimately seated within view of the windows at 9:30. Our server was not very personable and didn't explain anything to us. The man who brought the meat took his time letting us know what each item on the table was (sauces, meats, etc). I liked the pot stickers and the shrimp. I'm not a bread pudding person, but my fiance loved it.
When it came time for the fireworks, they dimmed the lights. Unfortunately, a family from a nearby table let their children run around on the windows in front of our table the whole time, making it difficult to see/enjoy the fireworks. I absolutely would not have minded if they stood in front of us if they were still so that we could see the fireworks too.
