the kona café is a casual café, which offers a nice relaxed setting for those who would like to have more leisurely, sit down meals. so if you are in a hurry to hit the theme parks and don’t want to dwell on your meals, thiscafemay not be an ideal choice. the food is very average but it is nice to have a spot to lounge around in and take a break from the hurry-scurry vacation that disney can turn into.

arrived at the konacafearound 11:30. we were told seating began at noon for lunch, and were given a buzzer. we were summoned just before 12 and promptly seated. the kona french press coffee is a must for any avid coffee drinker. the sushi was delicious, the fire kona (or something of similar name) being the standout. the noodle bowls were also praised, and were quite large portions. john, our waiter, was fantastic. we weren't able to use our vacation club discount, as new year's day was a "blackout date." would definitely eat there again. make sure to head down to the outdoor lanai afterwards to get some dole whip for dessert.

this was our third visit to kona cafe, and while the first two were both good, this one was outstanding. the polynesian resort has been updated in the last year or so, and that included some nice improvements to both the look and menu at kona cafe. the menu is more diverse than ever before. an abbreviated (but nonetheless interesting) sushi menu accompanies a good selection of asian and polynesian inspired dishes.

we had sushi appetizers, which were excellent. the kona sushi combo plate was particularly good, with awesome tuna poke along with generous portions of both salmon sashimi and the california luau roll.

i had the premium burger, which combined delicious beef, creamy brie, and spicy fried shrimp with a black garlic aioli. these elements all worked together surprisingly well to make for a memorable burger.

the star entree we tried was an asian noodle bowl, which equated to a huge portion of pho filled with steak, asian vegetables, and a deeply flavored broth. if you enjoy pho, this is the perfect entree choice.

the desserts were likewise excellent. the lava cake has been a konacafesignature for years and remains a great choice. we also had a tasty warm apple tart with cinnamon gelato and a macadamia bacon brittle as topping.

the atmosphere here is open and airy, with the entire restaurant flowing into the resort's large main atrium. the sun shines in from the main windows and skylights above.

highly recommended. if you are visiting magic kingdom and want a good lunch, it is easy to take the monorail here and back without missing much park time.

tasty food; ambience outdated.

i enjoyed the menu and the food at the konacafein the very outdated polynesian.
our waitress told us to order one entree at lunch since portions were large. so we started with the white bean soup. it was good. not superb..not overly savory ..but good. our main meal was the ahi seared tuna. this was served on a slightly sweet roll with slaw. tuna was perfectly seared and the flavors blended nicely. the waitress was right..we left stuffed on half sandwich and half soup.
here is my main gripe with this restaurant. ..it is a disney restaurant in an upscale hotel. the whole decor was faded and dusty looking. chair cushions were stained..faded..completely outdated blah prints. this is a hawaiian themed hotel!!! im paying for the ambience..the details. . this restaurant has such a good menu, and great chefs and wait staff..and it could be overlooked because its stuck in 1978.

konacafeat the polynesian resort was the first stop on our last day in disney. we had been neglecting proper breakfasts in lieu of line free roller coasters, but today it was time to get our fill. i'm usually one for savory breakfasts. but the tonga toast was too intriguing to pass up

known for good food, konacafeis already a well-celebrated breakfast spot at walt disney world. what makes it even better are a few “insider” facts.

the kona café is a casual café, which offers a nice relaxed setting for those who would like to have more leisurely, sit down meals. so if you are in a hurry to hit the theme parks and don't want to dwell on your meals, thiscafemay not be an ideal choice.

i have dined here at the konacafebefore for lunch as well as dinner but this is the first time for breakfast. i opted for the samoan, which is a poached egg over pulled pork and hash browns drizzled with cheddar cheese. this dish is outstanding. will definitely dine here again, but it will be hard to choose anything else.

i have only been for breakfast but if you want to start you day off right, tonga toast is the way. tonga toast is banana stuffed sourdough bread, rolled in cinnamon sugar. delish! dh enjoys the 100% kona coffee french press pot. would like to try for another meal, hopefully soon if we get back down there.
they have 2 locations listed on this site for konacafebut i am quite sure that the one in the polynesian is the only one, not sure what that other one is, it has an address listed on epcot blvd??????
