Enjoyed dinner here with group of 17 during the first week of December 2012.
Check in was seamless & they were able to accommodate the whole group together since there were long tables in the center of the restaurant.
Others in the group had been there before, while it was the first visit for a few of us. We felt well prepared for the onslaught of food to come. Needless to say, its difficult to pace yourself.
Salad & bread were tasty & well dressed. Noodles, broccoli, chicken wings and pot stickers were all excellent. The skewered meats were fantastic as well. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp & chicken.
We had a couple of young & picky eaters in our group. Our server noticed, and asked the two young boys if they would like some chicken nuggets & fries. You should have seen the platter that he produced! Probably 50 chicken nuggets and the equivalent of 10 regular orders of fries. Piping hot with sauces and ketchup!
I would recommend this as a must eat destination. But be forewarned... plan you days eating accordingly.

We won't be back. We got there early (which was our fault) but still waited 25 mins past our ADR time b4 we got a table. We had the opposite experience here than what some people have had. Our server never came back. We waited forever for the next round of food to come and for drinks to be refilled. Overheard someone complaining to the manager about the same thing but at least we eventually got our food, they didn't. Service was ridiculously SLOWWWWWW! In our opinion this place is way over rated. 1/2 the food was really good, the other 1/2 was alright but not worth the price or the head ache. When our server was at our table he was nice. They played games w/the kids but mine weren't interested in playing--they were too hungry and tired of waiting for food. In defense of the restaurant, the other person complaining to the manager said this is the 1st time service has been so awful and he has eaten there b4. At least we were on the dining plan so that took a little bit of the sting out of this bad experience.

We had a table for 15 and a fantastic experience. We all loved the food, the atmosphere, music, games, etc. Our waiter was excellent--the kind found on cruise ships that want the diner to be happy. He even noticed one of the children was not eating and offered to bring him a plate of chicken nuggets and fries, which he quickly did and a huge plate at that, which was enjoyed by all the children. He kept the food coming from beginning to end. We were at a long table in the middle of the room with windows. We liked the party atmosphere. We felt like we blended in well with all our children and we all 15 of us had a great time. We will make 'Ohana a must do destination from now on. I think the bigger your party the more fun it is.

This was our first visit to Ohana and it was a so-so experience. Although I'm not a big meat eater, I found plenty I liked and I gave the food much bigger marks than I expected I would. The service is a different story. Although our main server was pleasant enough, she got very little help from the assistant. Not only did he do very little other than deliver salads and clear plates, he was actually pretty testy. Our drinks were empty most of the meal and the assistant threw a tray down at one point and bellowed, "are you through yet?". He then proceeded to clear plates without waiting for a response. Believe me, this was the carefree, fun brashness you find at the 50's Prime Time Cafe, this was very rude.

We ate here on the evening of the 12th. It was outstanding. Our server was Trevor, and he was wonderful. The food was very good, and there was far more of it than we could eat. Wonderful atmosphere. We will DEFINITELY eat here again!!

I can't describe how disappointed I was with our meal. We had an ADR for 5:15 pm on New years Day. I picked this restaurant because it was my birthday and the last time we dined here it was great,(two years ago). We were seated right away and our waitress was wonderful. The appetizers were great as was the dessert, or my rating would be lower. The biggest disappointment was the meat. My wife ordered the steak medium and it was all so rare even I would not eat it. The steak was also very fatty. The pork had a funny taste as did the white meat. I love grilled meat but, this was not good. I usually like most Disney food but, this time I was so disappointed. I had read other posts where it had been mentioned that the quality of the meat had declined. As much as I love the eatery I must totally agree. I don't think we will dine here again.

We ate here on January 5th, 2013. We ate here on our last trip (May 2012)and I chose it to celebrate my birthday specifically because of the great experience we had the last time. Unfortunately, our experience this time was not quite as good. When we checked in 20 minutes early, we had to wait 10 minutes till past our reserved seating time for a table. OK, that doesn't bother me too much because I would not want to be rushed if it was me sitting there eating. When we were seated, our hostess brought a loaf of bread. That was the end of the great service. Our server took a good 10 minutes to take our drink orders and then another 5 to get them to us. Our salad came shortly after the drinks but then we did not see a server for a good half hour. When she did come back they had already cleared the salad and so she said of I'll bring you your salad. I then told her that we had already had our salad and was waiting for our pot stickers and wings. She obviously was not listening because she brought back another salad bowl. At that point I was getting a little angry and so flagged down another server who sent her back with the pot stickers and wings, exactly 2 of each for the table of three people. My son asked them to bring another platter of pot stickers which they eventually did, but only after I again flagged someone down. It was obvious to me that our server was looking for a larger tip because we saw she was very attentive to the tables near us that were drinking cocktails and wine (we do not drink and so stuck to the soda that came with the meal.) The meat service was better, probably because separate servers brought it. The steak was cooked perfectly and except for the end pieces was tender. Last time we ate here, the chicken was overdone, but this time it was juicy and delicious. The pork was not to my liking (I don't like the seasoning they use), but my husband loved it. I loved the shrimp. When I said so to the server who brought it he said Happy Birthday! (I was wearing my pin) and then emptied his entire skewer onto my plate. Needless to say I feasted on that shrimp as you can;t take it home with you. Overall, I have no complaints with the food and we will be returning here for my son's birthday in May 2013 at his request. I hope the service problems we had were an isolated incident as the last time we were here we had some of the best service I've ever seen at Disney world (Thanks to Larry!)

This is by far mine and my DH favorite place to eat anywhere not just Disney included. Our meal is always amazing we walk out full and happy! We ate here on January 29, 2013 and we had a 7:50 reservation. There is 2 adults and DS 21 months and DD 6 years. DD is picky so they brought her some mac and cheese. We had devoured the bread and the salad was amazing along with the noodles pot stickers veggies and then my fav part of the whole meal, the chicken wings. Me and my DH did not eat the chicken or pork but the steak was perfect and the shrimp is always amazing. The dessert is so good also. We tried not to eat to much that day so we knew we would have room for this meal. We also had some drinks from the bar that were always amazing! We will never miss a chance to eat at 'Ohana.

Love, love, love 'Ohana! Best dinner of our trip. Even my picky eaters love the food at 'Ohana. All the meat was extremely tender and cooked to perfection. The dumplings, wings, salad, noodles and bread are amazing. The dessert is out of this world! Server was so-so. He wasn't very attentive and didn't have a good personality but the food and atmosphere totally made up for it! Can't wait to eat here again!

Love this place! We've eaten here twice, last time in December 2012. Be sure to call for reservations ASAP as they seem to fill up. The food is fabulous!!! And there is so much. They bring everything to your table, and as much as you want. Grilled chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, with tasty sides...loved the noodles. The bread they bring to the table is amazing. My son talked about it for days. Never seem to have room for the dessert, but teenagers said it was great. Our kids are teenagers +, but I love how they get the younger kids involved in the little music parade. Not too loud, just really cute. Wait staff very attentive. Hope to never miss this place on future trips.
