Kona Island Sushi Bar

[lizzytizzy]

Does anybody know if Kona Island Sushi Bar is part of the Disney Dining Plan? Thanks!

according to the official Disney Food Blog writer, Pam Brandon, yes...it counts as a Table service, and 2 sushi rolls=1 table service.

Here's the link to the blog where she answered that question in July 2010:

Thank you so much for letting me know!

Along those same lines, does anyone know if the Kona Island Sushi Bar accepts the TIW card? TIA!!

 

[TinkerBelle_325]

Yes They do accept TIW at Kona Island Sushi Bar

Has anyone used the deluxe plan there? What is included?

I read the link, but still have a question: If I eat at Kona Cafe & want to order sushi for my entree, do I get the 2 rolls and still get a dessert as part of my table service credit? I loved the sushi I had there back in March (my sister & I split one as an appie, paid OOP while dining at Kona Cafe). I also love the creme brulee at Kona & hate to give that up! Any insight appreciated...

Kona Island Sushi Bar is included on the DDP. It costs (1) credit. If you are on the DxDP, you can get any sushi item as your appetizer, any sushi item as your entree, and any dessert from Kona Cafe as your dessert. In addition, you can mix and match from Kona Cafe and get an app from KC, sushi from KISB, or sushi as an app and an entree from KC. They will give you both menus. To take it one step further, we ordered sushi as an app and as an entree, and then asked for the bread pudding from 'Ohana FTW!!!

Just do yourselves a favor and sit on the stools by the window, not by the little prep station. The stools by the sushi prep station are the most uncomfortable things you will ever sit on. Good luck and enjoy.

We are on DXDP next month, and DD17 loves sushi. Can she order it as her appetizer? Is it a small piece?

I keep on thinking of trying this place, maybe this trip, it seems like a good value on the DDP.

Will they do this at Kona too? We're probably going to have lunch there as it is one of my mom's favorites. Would I be able to order from KISB instead of Kona's regular menu?

Yes, you can do the reverse if you are dining at Kona Cafe. Really, this is the best secret going. The only item we ever liked from 'Ohana was the bread pudding. Some of the apps and entrees at Kona Cafe can also be mediocre. But by dining at Kona Cafe, you can get a sushi app, Kona entree and dessert from 'Ohana. It's the best of all worlds.

That is awesome, thanks! I'm happy with the Kona dessert - love that fondue - but nothing on their lunch menu appeals to me and we couldn't fit it in for dinner this time, and the seating at the sushi bar would be rather difficult with a toddler if I'm remembering it correctly. Ordering my app & entree from the sushi bar while eating at Kona is perfect!

Wow! Good to know! DH loves sushi but DD13 doesn't. So, I can get the best of both worlds. Dining at Kona Cafe and getting sushi! Can't wait!!!!!!

I don't believe the Sushi Bar is open during lunch hours, unless things have changed. When we were there last, it opened at 5:00 pm. You may want to verify this if you have a Kona Cafe lunch ADR. Sushi may not be an option.

 

[TDC Nala]

That's correct; the Sushi Bar is not open at lunch.

 

[Colleen27]

Bummer.

So, with the regular (not deluxe) dining plan would you get 1 or 2 sushi rolls?

The regular DDP comes with an entree and a dessert. Therefore, you would only get (1) sushi roll.

The DxDP comes with an app, entree and dessert, so you would get (2) rolls on that plan.

You cannot use the QSP (quick-service plan) at the Sushi Bar.
