Disney World's Ohana

Kevin Klose is a super star co-host on The Dis, a podcast and webepisode that provides information about Walt Disney World. Kevin is the show’s food critic, and he has little good to say about dinner at Disney’s Ohana. Ohana is a restaurant inside the Polynesian Resort across the lake near the Magic Kingdom.  Kevin has the perspective of dinning at other similarly priced restaurants, so, I respect his opinion. I rarely (if ever?) eat at a $30-$40 per plate restaurant, so, I have little to compare Ohana to.

 

On Tuesday after work, we went to Ohana for dinner. We made the reservations months in advance because this is a popular restaurant. When seated, they begin bringing you food, and the food doesn’t stop until you cry UNCLE! At which point they begin bringing you desert.

 

 

We had this picture taken and all of our eyes are white! What the heck?

 

Dinner started with a salad covered in fruit and bread. Followed by chicken wings and pot stickers. Then veggies and noodles. For the boys, they received a platter stacked with hamburgers and fries. That filled us. But that wasn’t the main course. The main course is all you can eat chicken, steak, pork, and shrimp, brought to your table on skewers. The pork was pork. The steak was steak. And the chicken was to die for. You would expect the steak to be incredible, but it was cooked well done and was OK, but not fabulous. That is one of Kevin Klose’s largest complaints – the steak is not that good. I didn’t care because I was eating the fabulous grilled chicken.

 

During the dinner, we were entertained by a singer that taught the kids how to dance and performed a coconut race. All the while. We had a perfect view of the Magic Kingdom castle out the window.
