Do not miss Satuli Canteen!! Just back!

[GaSleepingBeautyFan]

I tried the cheeseburger pod and wasn't a fan. I'm not sure if I want to try one of the satu'li bowls. I've eaten everywhere else in AK and really want to have something different.

I know - I wish they had icons on menu items to make it a little easier to decipher! When I asked the first cast member about the sauces and bases that were vegetarian, she said, "All the bases and sauces are vegetarian, but not all are vegan". Great! Since I eat dairy and eggs, I figured it was a slam dunk. At the counter, I decided to double check with another cast member and he said, "As long as you eat chicken and fish, you're fine." Okayyyy...so I told him I was a vegetarian, and he said "Well, there are all kinds of vegetarians. Some eat fish, some eat chicken and some eat dairy." I reiterated that I was a strict vegetarian (no slaughter by-products) - not a pescetarian, a part-time vegetarian or a vegan - and he said, "Well, if you won't eat fish then I'm not sure what to tell you." I figured it was easier to just go somewhere else.

Just for future reference, all quick service locations should have an ingredient list.

I guess I'm one of the few who wasn't impressed with that restaurant. My "bowl" was basically a salad with some roast beef on top.The blue dessert (OP posted a picture) was okay, but I wouldn't get it again. I'm happier with a cupcake.

I have found that some people are confused about the difference between vegetarian and vegan. So they may have been unsure if there was dairy or eggs in something. Although, they should have a menu with little icons for vegan, gluten free, etc to make it easy for CMs to answer questions.

Disney has a ways to go with this. There are vegetarian icons, but as time goes on and food trends progress I think they will need to step up their game in labelling gf and vegan options.

What were you thinking it would be?

 

[Best Aunt]

I thought "slow roasted sliced grilled beef" might be more impressive than the roast beef you get at the deli counter at the grocery store.

 

[MKCP5]

Lol Wow I guess you REALLY didn't like it! Mine was much better quality than that. lol

I am not a Disney cast member, but reading this, I have to admit that I'm confused about what food you were looking to be served.

You're a strict vegetarian, but not a pescetarian or a part time vegetarian or a vegan, correct? So what do you eat? IDK based on your statements.

I'm not trying to be snarky, but I would guess that I'm older than you, and all these eating terms have changed quite a lot during my life span.

Pescatarian- eats fish, seafood but no chicken or meat
Vegetarian- no fish, seafood, chicken or meat
Vegan- no fish, seafood, chicken, meat, eggs, dairy.

As a vegetarian we can have dairy and egg in our diet but no flesh of any animal.

 

[karly05]

Has anyone tried the bowl with the fish as your protein? How was it? What sauce did you have or would you recommend with it?

I'm really looking forward to trying this next year!

I didn't mean to sound super negative, I was just trying to include another point of view.

Exactly! Sometimes I add "no slaughter by-products" to the vegetarian definition to capture things like meat/chicken-based stocks and broths, oyster/fish sauce, gelatin, etc.

Look forward to seeing this place in a few weeks. I do not think I will eat there, I am a terribly boring eater. I even gag on new food things sometimes, which is embarrassing and horrifying. But this is MY problem to deal with, I am very pleased to see new food options at WDW. Many of my family members would love this, from the sounds of it.

We can't wait to try the cheeseburger pods here, but I can't decide on dessert, as it's between the cheesecake or heading to Pongu Pongu for the pineapple cream cheese spring rolls. Can anyone help me make up my mind?

 

[IrishNYC]

I agree there needs to be QS like Satu'li in every park! Great food choices there.

Based on the CM's response that there are "all kinds of vegetarians" @punkin712 's response makes complete sense. A vegetarian doesn't eat anything from slaughtered animals. Someone that eats fish isn't vegetarian, nor is someone that eats chicken, or fish stock, or chicken stock, or beef stock, etc. There aren't "all kinds of vegetarians" - you either eat animal flesh and products derived from it, or you don't, no matter what animal it's from.

I have to say when the picture someone produces to make the case that it wasn't good literally makes my mouth water I suppose I may have to give it a shot.

 

[kitkat4622]

Can someone please explain what "pod" is.

 

[Best Aunt]

Hey, if I provide info which is helpful to someone, it doesn't really matter if they end up liking something which I didn't. The point is that I'm trying to be helpful.

 

[dclpluto]

Imo this is the best quick service in all of wdw theme parks.

The cheesecake was incredibly good (we had it a couple of times). I would definitely get it again - amazing value and quality for a QS. I thought the spring rolls were just "meh". Plus very small for the price. I had just had the pineapple cream cheese wontons at Yak and Yeti the day before and fell in love...so was very excited for the spring rolls. A bit of a letdown unfortunately

I never really got to enjoy the bowls sadly. The rest of my family did but I was too busy running around haha. I tried the cheeseburger pod and liked it but wouldn't go out of my way for it...I like a normal cheeseburger more. I did think my group would be more crazy about Satuli Canteen because both my DH and SIL were always hunting for healthier, lighter options..but they were just ok with Satuli. They RAVED about the bowls at Yesake Sushi in Disney Springs and we went to extra effort to return - ate there 3 times lol.
