Kona Sushi Bar

[dsnyrn]

Is this included in dining plan?

 

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

No it's not.

Aw Shucks!! Hubby would have loved it! How is the sushi at Tokyo?

 

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

I never had the Sushi at the Tokyo resaurant. However I have been multiple times to the Kona Island Sushi Bar and I say it's worth the cost to pay out of pocket so you can eat there.

I know at Kona Cafe you can get their sushi as an entree on the dining plan. It may be better to pay oop as it's not a good value on the dinning plan.

 

[dsnyrn]

Ty for your quick replies!! Decisions!!

No it's not.

YES!!! Kona Island Sushi Bar is most certainly on the DDP! We have used the DDP there over a dozen times.

CR Resort Fan 4 Life, please don't post erroneous information, thereby misleading a potential customer.

On the DDP you are allowed any sushi item as your entree and any dessert from Kona Cafe.

On the DxDDP, you are allowed any sushi item as your appetizer and any sushi item as your entree, as well as any dessert from Kona Cafe as your dessert. Also, you can order the bread pudding from 'Ohana as your dessert.

Enjoy!

The sushi at Tokyo is good (haven't tried Kona) but is NOT a good value on the dining plan! We ate there in December with deluxe dining plan and were told that ONE roll = an entree. I'm assuming that would be the same at Kona? I don't know about you, but as a general rule, when we eat sushi at home it's 2 rolls for an entree at lunch or 3 at dinner. And sometimes more. That was the only meal that I would have left hungry if I'd followed the dining plan guidelines! Instead, we just ordered some rolls that we paid cash for.

Also sad there -- my son (5) LOVES sushi but they didn't have ANY on the kids menu! All in all, it was our most expensive night to get what we wanted

At the Kona sushi bar you can use DDP, but it's TS credits, not CS. You can get a roll as your entree, a dessert from Kona and a beverage (I would assume they throw in some sort of third course if you are on deluxe). And yes, you get one roll and only one as your entree, so not the best value if you are trying to maximize your DDP credits.

I honestly wasn't trying to mislead them or anything. Also when I look up the menu for the Kona Island Sushi Bar on WDWINFO where it says Disney Dining Plan it also says it's not accepted over there, so if they do take it then it should be updated.

Can't speak for Tokyo or Kona's sushi but we did have the Sushi Sampler at WPC year before last (last year we were on QSDP so no TS) and I thought it was very good. I love sushi!

Here's a photo-this was definitely on the DDP

Your basic sushi, but good and fresh.

This is the one allowed on the DDP. There are other choices as well.

Platters:
Chef's Sampler Platter - Spicy tuna roll with 5 pieces of nigiri sushi and 3 pieces of fresh sashimi,edamame soy beans, and shiitake mushroom miso soup $24.95

All the food we had at WPC was good. Must have been, we ate there 3 times that trip!

WOW TY for the tip for this place. Sushi looks awesome!!

Is Kona Sushi bar in Kona restaurant? I looked on WDW's site and only saw Kona restaurant. Thanks

 

[TDC Nala]

It is next to the restaurant. Reservations aren't accepted for the sushi bar.

Is this only at Kona? I have been told repeatedly on the boards that sushi is not allowed as an appetizer on the DxDDP.

It depends on the restaurant.

At Kona Cafe you can order any sushi roll as your appetizer. I've never asked to find out if it can be ordered as an entree. If you're eating at the Kona Island sushi bar your can get two rolls, one as an appetizer and one as an entree.

Tokyo Dining and Teppan Edo are the restaurants where you cannot get sushi as an appetizer. They aren't Disney owned and treat the sushi menu as a separate category that doesn't count as either an appetizer or an entree.

At California Grill all but the two most expensive sushi choices are included as appetizers. Those two can, however, be ordered as entrees. When we go there I frequently have one roll as an appetizer and another as my entree.

It has been so many years since we ate at Wolfgang Puck Cafe that I'm not sure how the dining plan works for their sushi choices. There were rules, IIRC, but that was 2008 in the first month of the DxDDP's existence and they might have changed even if I did remember. I do remember that being one of my kids' favorite places because of the California roll on the kids' menu.

 

[Faldred]

Unless it's changed recently, you can get the sushi sampler platters as a DDP/DxDP entree at WPC.

Not sure if you can get smaller sushi portions as a DxDP appetizer there, but I'd be willing to be you can.

 

[TDC Nala]

From what I have heard about WPC, no sushi as an appetizer.

Thanks for all the info!

I was able to get sushi last year on the plan but was also confused by the dining plan restaurants for this year. As mentioned, the sushi bar was not listed as accepting the dining plan and I was so diappointed - I'm glad they still do. I know restaurants do not fix "to go" meals but was wondering if this place does "carry out" since it does have limited seating. Thanks!
