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!!!!

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.

Fantastic. Nice change from character dining - the all-you-can eat food was delicious with much variety, and the service/presentation/atmosphere was awesome! The kids loved their part of the interaction as well. This was our favorite meal of the week.

We ate dinner here on Saturday, May 26th. This was our first time eating here but it will not be our last. In my DS opinion this is now his favorite dining spot in Disney World! For the most part, I'd have to agree (only Le Cellier and Rose and Crown nudge it out for me). We arrived 20 minutes before our seating to check in and were seated at our appointed time.
Service started immediately and our server (Larry) cautioned us not too eat too much of the welcoming bread as there was a lot of food coming. To my taste, the welcoming bread was dry and not very tasty so I had a nibble and then skipped it. My DH enjoyed it though and finished the loaf. The next course was a green salad with a lime vinaigrette. I enjoyed this very much as it was light and very flavorful.
Next came the pot stickers, broccoli and snow peas stir fry and lo main noodles. The pot stickers were crispy on the outside and delicious. We ordered a second serving. The noodles had a slightly smokey taste and were good, but not exceptional. I had a small portion and then moved on. DH loved the noodles and had a second portion. The vegetables were crispy and very good. I had been told that they serve grilled pineapple with the dinner and was looking forward to it, but to my disappointment it never arrived. It may be that they do not serve it anymore so I did not complain.
As we were eating our second course the servers came around with skewers of meat, starting with the filet minion, chicken and shrimp and then pork. The 1st skewer of steak was a little overdone, but the ones served later were a perfect medium rare. The chicken was little dry but my DS and DH loved it. I passed on the chicken in the second round. The shrimp were cooked to perfection. They were peel and eat so it took patience and work to eat them. Definitely worth the effort, I had seconds on those too. The pork was tender and cooked to medium. We all enjoyed it very much. Three dipping sauces were served with the skewers. All were very good although I preferred the peanut sauce the best.
On to dessert! A butter rum bread pudding was served. Even though we were all extremely full we somehow managed to eat the entire bowl! Next time I'll have less of the noodles and vegetables and more of the dessert!
I would heartily recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for lots of very good food at a reasonable price. We will be back!

This restaurant was enjoyed by everyone in our party from a 3 year old to a 58 year old. The only and I mean slight negative were the dumplings, in my opinion were a bit dry but other than that, excellent!

According to my husband, "Best food in Disney!" I might have to agree. The only negative you could say is the chicken on the skewer was a little dry. Everything else was wonderful. Salad with delicious dressing, chicken wings and dumplings, sesame noodles, broccoli, and then all the meats....tender, delicious steak, huge shrimp, and juicy pork. You get 3 different dipping sauces, too - sweet and sour, a kind of mustard, and peanut sauce. They keep coming around with skewers - you can get as much as you want. Then comes dessert! Bread pudding with ice cream on top.
My husband is allergic to coconut, so we told them no coconut bread and they sent out the chef to talk to him. The chef told us that the dessert is made with the coconut bread, so he sent out a molten chocolate cake - it was great as well.
This was our 3rd time eating here and we can't wait to go back!

Had dinner at 'Ohana on May 12, 2012. Our reservation was for 6:45 and they seated us a few minutes early -- at 6:45 we were already eating bread. We really enjoyed the food, the waiters were happy to bring us more of what we asked for (the chicken! outstanding!), and they are very kid-friendly. Without my asking, the waiter brought our daughter the "kid dessert" (ice cream with colored sprinkles). We also found with our 4 year old, that the promise of a monorail ride afterwards was great leverage for good behavior -- an added bonus of 'Ohana's location! We will be back.

Short staffed, too hot. Rude waitress too long of wait for food. We have gone to 'Ohana every time we go to Disney which is twice a year (own DVC) and every time we go to 'Ohana, it is getting worse. We have taken this restaurant off our list.

My five roommates and I dined here on 5/2, with an 8:30pm ADR. They were running about 15 minutes behind the ADR times.
I had last eaten here two years ago and I remember this meal being better than it was. This time the food was just okay and the service was average.
The salad was very good, and the bread was fine too. We asked for butter and they said they would have to check to see if they had any left because they throw it away after 8pm.
Chicken wings were just alright, but I enjoyed the noodles. The pot stickers were much spicier than I recall them being. The grilled chicken was excellent; I didn't try the pork or the shrimp, and I did not care for the sauce on the steak.
I don't like bread pudding, but the scoop of ice cream with sprinkles was delicious.
We were there for Wishes and could kind of see it, but they did not dim the lights, though the music was piped in.

This was my fav meal of our trip. The bread was amazing I ate a whole loaf myself I think. The salad and noodles were my favorites actually, one of the best dressings Ive ever had and the salad was extremely fresh. Apps. were good, meats and sauces were excellent. The dessert was a bread pudding with ice cream and a banana caramel sauce and it was to die for! You will not go hungry here Cousin I promise! Service was great. Only downside was the wait even though we had a res. but it wasnt too bad. Got done just in enough time to hit the beach to see the fireworks
