Kona for dinner

[CarKey]

Do any of you make a trip over to the Poly for dinner at Kona's or is it mainly a convenient meal for guests staying there? The menu sounds really good to me and I am wondering if I should book it for my party of 8.

CarKey, BOOK IT!!! We make a trip to the Poly everytime we are at WDW for dinner. We leave Monday for a 10 day stay at WDW and not only will we venture to the Poly for a Kona dinner, but will also be going there for a Kona breakfast. You have to try this gem.

I've made a special trip to Kona before, and I was not disappointed. I would say go for it!

Yes, if we are not staying at the Polynesian we are usually staying at the Swan for a much better rate and we always make sure to do a dinner at Kona. We love the food there. The chowder, crab cakes, terriyaki filet, coconut chicken etc. Also the desserts, my favorite is the creme brule. The only entree that was ever bad for our whole group was the turkey medallions. No one would eat those. My ds got them and they were terrible. Dry and tasteless.

I make a special trip to Kona whenever I can, but I go for lunch. We honeymooned in Hawaii, and at lunch they have pretty authentic (actually better than the real thing!) Hawaiian lunch plates with "two scoop rice" and macaroni salad.

MMMM I want it again right now.

Definitely go to Kona for dinner! It was the best meal of our trip last week! You can cut the steak with a butter knife! Delicious!

Kona is my favorite restaurant at Disney!!! The food is wonderful, hot and fresh and the desserts great!!!

We eat at Kona every trip and we never stay at a monorail resort. They have the best food! I'll be there again for dinner on the 2nd with 18 others.

We went to the Poly to have dinner at Kona last week and it was fabulous! It's on my list for our next trip too. We totally enjoyed it.

Kona is a hidden gem! It is great. You'll have a great dinner and save room for the awesome derserts too!

I'm glad I found this thread. I made ADRs at Kona for our last night, and I've been questioning whether or not to cancel. I know people love the Tonga toast, but since you can't get any at dinner I wasn't sure if it was worth it. This thread has convinced me to keep my ADR. Thanks!

LOVE Kona for dinner - sticky wings and teriyaki beef!! So easy to get to - take the monorail from Epcot and walk over, or take the boat from MK to Poly!! (etc)

Book it NOW! I never really considered it before but boy was I sorry that I hadn't...really fabulous and unique choices. For all of those who go to Ohana....STOP!...Kona is the much better choice.

We ate at Kona when we went and LOVED it!! It was our favorite dinner while at WDW!! It's a must when we go back next year!!

Kona is also my favorite restaurant and we go there every trip! Easy to get to, nice atmosphere, great service, and wonderful food. Kona is a great pick, anytime.

One of our best WDW dinners ever was at the Kona Cafe. DH and I wondered in there late, around 10 I think, one evening. We weren't staying at the Poly that trip, just decided to look for somewhere via monorail to eat and it was AWESOME! Give it a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed

It's a must-do for our family, and we've never stayed at the Poly. (Yet!)

Our dining review from our August trip is here. Link

We ate at Kona for the first time this past August just before the Pirate and Princess Party (we were staying at the YC). It was DELICIOUS! Definitely on our must-do again list for next time!!!
