Agreed. The texture on the rice is also way off.Every piece of sushi I've had at WDW: Kona, Tokyo Dining and California Grill. It's like they don't even bother seasoning the rice. I was so disappointed!
Completely agree! The food was pretty much inedible.Peckos Bill - we went for lunch after hearing how good it was. It was loud, hard to find a table and the food was not good.
There were four of us. I had to look up what we ordered because I put it out of my head I got some kind of dumpling appetizer that was disappointing after the server raved about it (like a not great ravioli), my husband got the filo dough appetizer, which was by far the best thing we had all night, my son got a salad that was "meh," and my daughter the bread service that was a big disappointment compared to Sanaa. But the mains were the biggest disappointment. The guys both got steaks that were "okay," and I got the short ribs, which were overly fatty and also basked in a thick overly sweet sauce. The ribs were served with some kind of vegetable purree that was pureed to death and overly rich. I took one bite and that was it. My daughter got the elk, which seemed to be the best of the mains. The dinner took so long we ended up leaving without ordering dessert. We were on the DxDP, and if we'd payed out of pocket I would have been much more vocal in my disappointment of the meal. As I mentioned earlier, the service was abysmal. I did make comments, but they were ignoredCurious what you ordered? And what you disliked about it?

This might be an unpopular opinion, but Hollywood & Vine was the only meal of our trip last year that we were disappointed in. The buffet dishes were interesting, but nothing totally blew me away. And the offerings for the "kids menu" items were lame, my kids (who were scarfing down food like crazy the whole trip) barely ate anything other than the desserts. We were there for Minnie's Halloween dine, and seeing the characters in costumes was fun, but I left wishing we had chosen a different character experience or saved our money and just gotten CS that night. It was the only meal of our entire trip I regretted.
Thanks, and I hope you have a much better experience! It seems to be one of the most highly rated restaurants around the board so maybe ours was a one off.Thanks for responding. I was curious because Jiko usually gets really good reviews. I have an ADR for April so I'm hoping we have a better experience. Sorry you didn't enjoy your meal!
At Skipper Canteen I had the Tastes Like Chicken and the sauce was overpowering and the rice undercooked. Chicken was tough and overcooked. The apps were great and our server was AWESOME so we will give it another try.
Be Our Guest lunch. The braised pork was so bland, I actually asked for a manager to take it back. He insisted it was the same recipe from when the restaurant first opened. I retorted that something else must've changed, because it wasn't this bad when the restaurant first opened.
