Uhh.. okay, I looked at the menus.. it is pork, not duck. WHY did I think duck?!!? Maybe because it rhymed with dumpling? Duck... dumpling probably sounded better than PORK dumpling? Sorry!! Great, now I lost interest in those who trusted me.
Sorry! I corrected it.

Love the 'Ohana review. Makes me thank goodness I kept the ressie I had. Can not wait til we eat here.

Awesome reviews... Thank you

It is SO good. Keep it and try it for yourself.

Great great great reviews so far!! I can't wait to get to Ohana!!! And the sushi is so pretty...wish I liked it!

The sushi DOES look pretty. I wish I had room for it!

Wonderful reviews so far! Thanks for all the pics

Thank you for reading!

Um DUCK DUMPLINGS?! Ok DH is going to kill me, first I found out a few weeks ago that the meatballs from Tangierine Cafe in Morocco are actually lamb and now the dumplings are DUCK!

OMIGOD if he found this stuff out he would kill me. I wish I had a pic of him scarfing down the dumplings...why this is so funny ...I wanted to go to Kona to try the duck dumplings and he said more power to ya, eat all you want but dont expect me to try one.... So I had to book Ohana for the PORK dumplings...ahahahahahaha

Oh boy, how the heck am I going to keep a straight face with him?!

The dumplings were amazing, pork or duck or whatever, we loved them and I will still eat the meatballs too....but only I shall know the real truth behind the food

You can lay his delicate feelings to rest.. it is, in fact, pork. Sorry for the dumb mistake on my part.

More great reviews and pics!

I shall after homework. Thanks for reading!!

Hi
Thanks for your great reviews!! I don't eat meat, but loved the shrimp at O'hanas. They were so much better than last year when they were served in a bowl. Thanks for sharing!!

Mmmhmm, the shrimp is good.

I thought the dumplings were pork too! Oh well, I guess I like duck and I never knew it

I won't tell my DH about it either, what he doesn't know can't hurt him.

Aaaah! The pork dumplings haunt me!

No wonder dh and I couldn't figure out what they were!! We never had duck before!! I am not going to tell him!!!

Oh no, it is here too! Thanks for reading though!

Hi!!!

Great reviews..I love this!!!!

I did not know that the dumplings were duck....they are so good but please tell me that is not duck meat in there...

No. No duck meat. I felt sorry for Donald because I accused him of being inside dumplings. Sorry Donald! Thanks for your time in reading--I sure enjoyed your disneymoon trip report!

Thanks for taking those pictures from the Kona Sushi Bar ... those CA rolls look mighty tasty and I know a certain husband who'd love to get his hands on that volcano roll. Yum!

Now the question ... can we manage a second dinner after dinner at Kona?

I heard that you can order them as an appetizer at Kona. If not, then you can just loosen a belt.... but heavens no, do not give up a fruity pineapple drink!

It says they're pork dumplings on the AllEars menu!!?

Augh!! I was really looking forward to these, but... I don't do duck!!

No no, it is I who was wrong, and AllEars right!

Well, if we can order them as appetizers at Kona all our problems are solved. I think that I will have to have an extra pineapple drink to celebrate!

Ah! I found the thread where they ordered the sushi at Kona.

Its on the first page.

Oh and don't forget the backscratcher. It actually comes with a backscratcher in the glass. Because, you know, you can never have too many wooden backscratchers.

 

[oybolshoi]

You da woman!

That sushi looks so good ... mmmm, California Roll ... I wish I was eating it right now.

OK ... now before I go get some exercise in, is the backscratcher a better drink than the lapu lapu? I've not tried either but admit to being fond of the idea of drinking booze out of a hollowed out pineapple even though I don't like pineapples. Now that I think about it ... that doesn't make much sense, does it? Does a lapu lapu taste like pineapple? Because if it does I think I need a new drink suggestion.

Help me!

To be honest... I have NO idea! I saw pictures of it on the food porn thread and pictures of alcohol thread.

Perhaps someone here can enlighten us?

But anyway... still get the pineapple! Think of the marvelous things you can say about drinks in a pineapple!!! But then again... what crazy pictures you can make with a backscratcher!

Another great review I am totally ODing on food porn! We love 'Ohana. It's going to be our first night tradition.

 

[MickeyNicki]

Haha! If it tastes good... then it is good--right?? Oh just get your DH to have the sticky wings at Kona. That way you can sneak some wings from him AND have the potstickers allll for yourself.

I LOVE your reviews!! We ate at some of the restaurants you reviewed and it is SO much fun to read the different opinions. Can't wait for the next part!!

As for the drinks - we LOVE the backscratcher, LOL! Fun to order, very nice taste, and such a fun souvenir to take home!

 

[rapriebe]

Wow, thanks so much for the great food reviews. 'Ohana is our favorite place to eat but it's been two years since we have been there and I was anxious to see what the changes were. We will be there next month and can't wait to eat there again. But I'm definitely going to miss those awesome potatoes.

 

[rentayenta]

In case you were wondering, I am totally ready for the next review.

 

[KatMark]

Love the pictures. Bring on some more.

 

[quixoticvalue]

Okay guys. Sorry for the extra-long break. I had 2 papers to write.... and you know when the professor gives completely general and vague topics? So you are left there trying to figure out what to write. For days on end.

Yeah yeah. Okay. Now for the next reviews....

EDIT: Oh shoot. I don't have my reciepts or notes. AAAAGH! Will do later today.
