I am wanting to visit Ak Lodge as I have never visited this resort. Would like to combine my visit with dinner. Which restaurant should I choose, Boma or Jiko? And does either have a dress code?
Thanks!

Hi,
These are two very different dinning experiances. Boma is a buffet that is very popular with young families. Jiko is a more upscale full service dinning experiance. There is a dress code at Jiko but it is Disney's version of Business Casual which means jeans are okay but hats and swin ware are out.

I love Boma...it is a buffet with many different delicious salads, soups and side dishes to the meat selections. The food is very flavorful....but not spicy.
It is 1 table service on the dining plan.

Jiko is more fancy. It is a signature dining so 2 table service on dining plan.
I was disapointed....but I think I just ordered the wrong thing and did not like sitting right next to the kitchen when it was empty. I will try it again....it gets raves around here on the Dis for sure. It is a sit down so dress is probably nicer than Boma...but you don't need to be fancy by any means.

Spend some time roaming the lobby, and enjoying a drink in the lounge upstairs overlooking Boma ,to enjoy the sounds and smells of AKL:goodvibes

We have only tried Boma and we love it, however, Jiko gets rave reviews as well. I would say Boma is a more relaxed atmosphere and if you are a big eater the buffet is fabulous. Jiko is probably a bit more upscale but certainly not stuffy.
