Also is the newer Pandora restaurants on the dining plan? It wasn't clear on allears.net
 

I've read very good things about Satu'li in Padora, but many of the other QS restaurants are very good in DAK. Flame Tree, Yak & Yeti, Harambe... all very good. But to pick one best... I have not been to Satu'li, so I'd say Flame Tree.
 
Hands down, Satu'li in Pandora. There were minimal waits on Saturday 6/3. Have read of people using the mobile order feature when it gets a bit busier and having their food within 5-10 minutes when it gets a bit busier.

Satu'li is a CS location on the dining plan - however the mobile order feature doesn't support using your credits - yet.

LOVED the variety of options and that Disney is trying to do something really healthy, but flavorful at a CS location.

It is a similar set-up to BOG - you get real dishes and silverware to eat on. However, you bring your own food to your table here vs. BOG bringing it to your table.

Pongu Pongu has some snack credit options as well. The name is escaping me at the moment, but they have some pineapple/cream cheese spring rolls that were to die for!

Before Satu'li existed - I would say Flame Tree.
 
In all fairness, I have not been to Pandora. But I would definitely say Flame Tree. I compare it to a BBQ place at home that costs twice as much, at least it compares in quality of food.
 
Flame Tree was one of the best meals we had on our 10 night trip.....even including sit downs and character meals...
 
Pandora is the best quick service restaurant at animal kingdom imo. Most of the people that are saying another restaurant probably never been to the pandora quick service.
 
I love the ribs at Harambe Market. Haven't been since Pandora opened, but we're still planning on Harambe ribs in December.
Before that opened we always did the Yak and Yeti QS, but after they changed the menu and took the lo mein off it didn't appeal to me anymore.
We did the chicken and rib combo at Flame Tree once and weren't impressed - it looked like a lot of food, but most of it was bone and fat.
 
Flametree is good, but we also tried Yak & Yeti QS for the first time on our last trip and we really enjoyed that as well.
 
I'll toss my vote in for Harambe Market. There's just such a variety of options and flavors that you will no doubt find something to suit any taste.
 
Have not been to Pandora, but Flame Tree is one of WDW's best counter service restaurants.
 
I like Pizzafari. The food may be better at Flame Tree (OK, I think it is), but after a hot time in the park, you can't beat the air conditioning factor at Pizzafari.
