Any suggestions on what I should order at Jiko?

You got the small bowl of soup because, as I note from your signature, you stayed at AKL. We got that, too when we stayed there - the server said it was a "thank you" for staying with them. Our soup was carrot & ginger - one of the best soups I've ever had, and it's not on the menu.

Thank you.

I loved the short ribs when I was there and also the bacon salad. Makes my mouth water remembering everything all over again.

Love the short ribs too! So whats in the bacon salad?

The tanglewood chicken with goat cheese mashed potatoes...I don't have a pic but it was delicious! I thought about getting the filet but like another poster above, my DH got it and I didn't want to get the same thing he did. We each tried a bite of one another's, and I liked the chicken better! VERY flavorful.

I love goat cheese too! Sounds wonderful!

Theres that bacon salad again.....you all are making me hungry!

We were there for the first time on the 26th for our 11th anniversary, and it was amazing. 2nd best place we've eaten at Disney behind Victoria and Albert (which is in a class by itself). They presented us with an anniversary card which had been signed by different CM's in their native language.

The chef sent out a small soup, I'm not sure if they do that for everyone, or if it was because it was our anniversary. DW said she didn't see anyone else around us receive the small soup bowls. I didn't hear what our waiter said about the soup, but I wasn't the butternut squash soup because I ordered that as an appetizer. DW had the Kalamata Olive flatbread which she loved. It was so large it could have been an entree. For main courses I had the lamb, and it was amazing. The chick pea and chorizo salad was delicious. The chick peas were cooked so perfectly, too often they are overcooked and are mushy, but these were great. DW had the vegetarian dish and loved it, one of the three items was a little spicier than she typically would like. For desert DW had a Candy Cane and Eggnog cheese cake and I had the Crème Brulee. They also brought a small crème brulee with a candle in it for our anniversary.

I did take a couple pictures, if someone can send me instructions on how to upload a pic, I'll post them.

That is so cool! It sounds like you had an amazing meal. You are all getting me excited about going again! So many things to consider now.

I wonder if we will be offered the soup too since we will be staying at AKL this trip? I would love to be able to try it. We both enjoy carrots and ginger. I hope we get a chance to try it!
