I had read such good things about Kona, so I booked a breakfast ADR. It was very convienent since we were staying at the Polynesian. We were paying for this out of pocket since we had dinners schedules for our dining plan credits. It was an absolute waste of $30. The food was HORRIBLE. The eggs were so runny they were likes soup, the potatoes were burned beyond recongnition. Our server pretty much ignored because there was a "regular" in her section so she spent her entire time chatting with him. When she realized that we hadn't eaten much she offered to get us something else, but I just wanted to leave. She didn't offer to take anything off the bill even when I showed her how runny the eggs were, so we just paid and got out of there.
I will not be back to Kona Café.

Waited for table even though there were empty tables, was told that I had to move my own chair to table so there were 5 seats. Table set for 5. Pancakes dry and burned on bottom. No refills at our table, but waitress asked table next to us if they wanted refills and they got them. Never again will I go there. Used to be a favorite!

This place hit my radar before my first trip after hearing about the Tonga Toast, now I make sure to go every trip, even if I have to go solo.
Pros:
Tonga toast and mimosa flights!! Also, the Polynesian is gorgeous, any excuse to visit this resort is good enough for me!Cons:

We were in Disney from February 1-11, 2022 and we stayed at the Polynesian for the first time and in turn our first time eating at Kona Café and it was amazing. We had it for breakfast and I fell in love. If we had more time there, we most certainly would have eaten there again. Our waitress, Dorthey from NJ, was so funny and just the best way to start our morning. You have to eat here!
Pros:
Food, cast members, location, priceCons:

Had a great meal for two by splitting a couple appetizers and one entree. We got the chicken wings and potsticker appetizers and they were fantastic especially the potsticker. The pork belly noodle bowl was also delicious and is a generous portion. Love the setting and it was rather loud which made it great for a dinner with a 7 month old who can get a little loud himself.
Pros:
Setting and decor Portion sizeCons:

A 27 year favorite of my family. Disappointing this past week…I’d recommend but barely
Pros:
Cast members are very friendly and helpful.Cons:
The iconic Lillykoi juice has changed, now not so much a juice but “kool-ade” water based drink. Very disappointing. Please restore the Lillikoi juice to its glory! Seriously…bring back the juice.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 02/18/2020

We absolutely loved our breakfast at kona cafe! The staff was very caring and provided us with many options to make our meal great, including sharing with us a wide variety of dairy free creamers for coffee! My partner and I both had the Tonga toast and were very impressed with the quality of the food! It’s the perfect balance of banana with thick cinnamon sugar toast. While you can get this item at Captain Cooks, the strawberry compote made the toast even more delicious. We also enjoyed the kona coffee and loved that our cast member let us take leftovers to go! I highly recommend this great breakfast spot
Pros:
Quality food and serviceCons:
The restaurant isn’t overly themed like other Disney restaurants but the food is worth the visit!Reviewed by debg33 Review Date: 06/08/2019

used to be our favorite until they took the Big Kahuna off the menu and really cut back on portions
