My family and I had dinner at Ohana in early March 2024. We made an advance reservation for around 6pm. All of us really enjoyed the food. The rolls and salad were delicious as were the noodles, dumplings, chicken, and steak during the main course. All of the entrees were brought out warm and were cooked well. We asked for seconds of several items and the wait staff was so kind to bring smaller portions for our second round (as we had requested so as to not waste food). The dessert was amazing-best bread pudding we’ve ever had and a huge portion. During our meal, a performer played the ukulele and sang classic Disney songs. He then went around the room to ask if any tables were celebrating and either announced their anniversary or other celebration to the room or sang “happy birthday” as appropriate. While it was busy, we had servers come by multiple times to check on us and ask if we needed anything or to clear away finished dishes. It was an overall wonderful experience, and we will definitely be back!

We had been to Ohana several times in the past. It had been a few years since our most recent visit. We were a little concerned that it may not be as good as it once was. We were so pleased to find that it was SO good still!! We had an odd time reservation - like 4:15. A little early for dinner but it is what was available. We just had had a snacky lunch late morning in preparation for our Ohana dinner. So when we got there we were ready to eat. 🙂 We were seated in a timely manner and we had a nice spot for our table. We are a party of two and honestly in the past from time to time we've been given a bad table because they can squeeze a small two person table against a wall somewhere, but in this case, we were against a side window and that was fine and good. At any rate, they immediately brought us our drinks and then the food starting coming. It all came along fairly quickly. We had to just kind of pace our own selves to make sure we tood time to enjoy everything. The salad is great. The appetizers were wonderful - loved the dumplings and wings, but those noodles - they are the BEST and I am not even a noodle person. They have outstanding flavor. I ate a lot of them! The meats of course were great as well. The steak, chicken and shrimp. I liked the steak best. Everything was warm and fresh and so good. The bread pudding was delightful and we loved it as much as we had in the past. We were also celebrating an anniversary and they brought us a cute little plate with a couple of little mini macaron cookies and chocolate pieces, which was a very nice little plus for us. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. This was a great experience for us. Again, we were slightly anxious that the quality would not be what it once was, but we were so happy that all was well. No complaints and so glad we went!

Probably the best meal we had the entire trip. It’s all you care to enjoy. If you want more of something specific they will happily bring it. Pace yourself, it’s a lot of food if you want to try it all. The noods are everything they have been hyped to be as well as the bread pudding. I tried getting a reservation every day starting at 60 days. Using a dining reservation service I was able to finally get a reservation the day of. So if you can’t get it at the 60 day mark don’t give up.
Pros:
Amazing food!Cons:

The food at ‘Ohana is delicious and you can have as much as you want. The service was also outstanding. The view of magic kingdom is also great! I can imagine that there would be great fireworks views if you could time it right. Despite being insanely busy the server always immediately refilled my glass without me having to ask and they always made sure we had the food we wanted. The downsides to this restaurant is that it is pricey and it’s hard to eat enough of the food to really make the cost feel worth it. Additionally, the food may not be for everyone. Picky eaters and little kids may not be willing to eat some of it.
Pros:
Food is good, great viewsCons:

I can't believe I have never eaten here before. We loved all of the food. I can't think of anything we didn't like. There are huge portions, so come hungry.
The potstickers, noodles, steak and shrimp were my family's favorites.
Our server, Cousin Brandon, was fantastic!
Pros:
Great food and plenty of it Great serviceCons:

Alright, look here buckos! (I say that with much love, please don’t be sad).
You have almost certainly heard plenty about ‘Ohana. Some people have probably told you that it is mind blowing. Others have probably claimed that it is overrated. I’m here to tell you that ‘Ohana is, quite simply, DE-FREAKING-LICIOUS. No need to read other reviews, just trust me. You don’t know me, you might not trust me. But in this I implore you: Trust me (and the countless other people who love ‘Ohana, they’re nice too)
The family-style fare here is varied and well-made. My wife and I are much bigger fans of the starters than we are of the entrees. The bread to start is GREAT, sweet and fluffy. The pot-stickers are simple and delicious. The wings have great flavor and are well-cooked. And then…..the noodles. You’ve probably heard about them. And they are. TASTY.
The entrees are well-made and solid as well. We personally liked the chicken more than the steak, but we could have stuck with the starters for the whole meal and been perfectly happy with that.
But friends, let me tell you about the greatest way to end a meal of all time: ‘Ohana Bread Pudding. Literally something that we often dream about even months after we eat it. The bread pudding is soft and flavorful, and then you add the caramel sauce and have the ice cream on top? Just freaking amazing! We were STUFFED from the meal and yet still pushed through to eat the bread pudding and could not have been happier. I’ve never sat and just marveled at the food I just put in my mouth more than I did with the ‘Ohana Bread Pudding. Okay, I’ll stop now.
Atmosphere-wise, ‘Ohana is great as well! The Polynesian Resort is awesome in the first place, and ‘Ohana is no exception. There are lots of tables by the windows that overlook the little volcano pool area which is cool and even a view of the castle across the lake. You aren’t guaranteed one of these tables, but request one if you can, because it’s pretty gorgeous! Additionally, there are often musicians who will come around the restaurant with a Ukelele and do some singing, which is fun too!
Side note: I recommend the Lapu Lapu cocktail. It comes in a pineapple and is nice and tasty! Expensive, but great!
The one thing we would recommend would be to use your requesting powers wisely. If you especially like one dish, request more of it. I will say that I felt bad for wasting some of the entree portions that we got, so if you know you’re not going to be a big fan of one of the dishes, request to omit it.
SO much food, but SO much deliciousness here! GO!
Pros:
The flavors at play in many of the dishes here are just delightful Great atmosphere, with some great views THE. BREAD. PUDDING!!!Cons:

It's been years since we've been able to snag a ressie here. The bread and salad are so good! We asked for extra bread and wow! You get a platter of appetizers: Wings, pot stickers with a yummy glaze, the famous noodles and broccolini. We polished it off and got more wings and pot stickers! The meats in post covid time are grilled steak, which I liked. Large peel and eat shrimp which were okay. And a roast chicken that I didn't bother with. My DH and sons liked it. We knew of the different meats and just changed our eating strategy to getting more wings and pot stickers which we love! The dessert was incredible! Bread pudding with ice cream on top and a caramel sauce. It was a bit small so our server brought us an additional one! Yumm! At the end the manager came out to talk to us and make sure we enjoyed the meal and thanked us for choosing Ohana. We were pleasantly surprised.
Pros:
We love the Poly atmosphere! The appetizers are incredible and dessert so yummy!Cons:

I loved the appetizers!!! The chicken wings are the best I’ve ever had. The pot stickers and noodles are great. I was way too full by the time the meats came out to fully enjoy them. PSA make sure you are super hungry for this meal. I ate a late lunch (big mistake) and had an 8pm ohana reservation and I feel like I wasted a lot of food.
Pros:
Lots of great foodCons:

We tried this based on all the hype we’ve read and viewed online and it didn’t disappoint. The peel and eat shrimp are outstanding! The salad and dressing is fresh and bright. And the noodles and wings are simply mouth watering. This place is now a must do on every trip to DW.
Pros:
Easy access on a MK day, amazing theme and vibe, and unique and outstanding food.Cons:
Kind of pricey, and hard to get a reservation.Reviewed by kmark2 Review Date: 02/26/2022

This is one of mine and my husbands favorite places to eat at WDW! We ate here for dinner on February 10, 2022 and it was a perfect time because while we were eating we got to see MK fireworks and they piped the music into the restaurant. My daughter loved that! The food here is amazing! My favorites are the salad, the noodles and the bread pudding. My husband is a meat eater and he loves the meat, chicken and shrimp that they bring to the table. My 14 year old has been trying new things and tried and liked just about everything on the table. My 12 year old, who is very picky, liked the wings and the chicken. My 8 year old is very picky and really only ate the bread, a very little bit of chicken and the ice cream that came with the bread pudding. Our server was so nice and him and my husband made jokes back and forth the whole time. We asked him to take a picture of our table and he took several for us. I loved that there was a ukulele player that was roaming around the restaurant playing, it was such a nice touch. We were all stuffed by the end. My only complaint about this restaurant is the price. Maybe my husband ate enough to justify paying that much but the rest of us, especially my picky 8 year old, did not eat that much food. We will probably come back though because we love it so much!
