Ohana with a husband that doesn’t like coconut

[Llama mama]

So tell me about Ohana. My husband doesn’t like coconut. Loves chicken wings though. Hoping to have the family try a new place. Does the dessert also have coconut?

 

[Moliphino]

There may be coconut in the bread? It's not very noticeable, since I can't even say for sure it's in there.

All of the Disney restaurants are sensitive to food issues. Just tell your server that your husband can't have coconut and they will see that none is included.

 

[Jennasis]

The dessert is distinctly coconutty.

It sounds like this is a preference, not an allergy.

Is it a dislike or an allergy/sensitivity? The bread is allegedly coconut bread, but you’d be heard-pressed to identify the flavor if you didn’t know. There are no pieces of coconut and to me it just has a sweet roll flavor. The dessert probably has more of a coconut flavor. I can’t remember if on my most recent visit there were any actual pieces of shredded coconut. I feel like there aren’t, but I wouldn’t swear to it. Since COVID, I think the dessert added more pineapple. If it is only a dislike, I think your DH would be fine (maybe just clarify the dessert with a server). If he does have an allergy, Disney is usually good with those and I think there would still be plenty for him to eat (salad, noodles, pot sticks, wings, meat).

I'm allergic to coconut and it hasn't prevented me from enjoying 'Ohana at all. Like others mentioned - it's a pineapple-coconut bread pudding for dessert so he might just need to skip dessert. I'm sure they'll bring him some vanilla ice cream if he still wanted dessert though (it was that + GF vanilla cake for the tree nut allergies when I went a few months ago). And then some of the cocktails have coconut rum but if he drinks I'm sure he already knows what he doesn't like. But other than that I can't remember anything else that had coconut.

Is it that he doesn't like coconut flavor or he doesn't like the texture of coconut? I absolutely hate the texture of shredded coconut like you would find in a Mounds bar or on fried coconut shrimp, but I am good with coconut flavoring in a lollipop or something. I've never noticed the shredded coconut texture in anything at 'Ohana...maybe it's in the bread but I don't eat enough to notice because I'm saving room for the good stuff. I've never noticed the texture in the dessert and I eat plenty of that, so I feel like I would have noticed if it was present.

I HATE coconut and can taste it in anything and I had no issue at 'Ohana. I skipped the coconut biscuits but was fine with the cake.

Other than the dessert -which is phenomenal, I don’t recall anything else with coconut

No he doesn’t like the flavor. I was afraid everything would have a little coconut flavor added.
I think he will be fine if he can have the actual meal without it . He can skip dessert

I think he’ll enjoy the restaurant overall. I think he even try the bread pudding and like it. To me, it just tastes like a sweet yummy bread pudding. I think I pick up the pineapple flavor more—I don’t know. Hope you guys enjoy. I still miss the meats coming around on the skewers and think the meat quality was a notch better pre-COVID—but still think it’s a good dinner

They returned to the bread somewhat recently and got rid of the biscuits.

As someone who despises coconut, I can attest that you can taste the coconut in the bread. I have previously requested an alternative dessert, and they have accommodated this me.

My husband hates the texture of coconut, but eats everything at Ohana. I don't like bread pudding. I asked the server if there was another option. I got pineapple with caramel. It was delicious!!

 

[Atlantix2000]

My father hates coconut but said he didn't really notice it when we ate at Ohana last week. There's nothing there that is just coconut flavored. It's always coconut and something else so that must have made the difference.

Skipping dessert at 'Ohana is a big mistake. If nothing else he can have some sauce on the ice cream but I think he'll be okay with the bread pudding.

We ate there a couple years ago and the menu was slightly different, but I don't recall coconut in the things we had. Where did you get the idea that O'hana has a lot of coconut flavored items? Even looking at the current menu posted on the official Disney website, I don't see anything with coconut as the main ingredient. Most in our party didn't care for any type of bread pudding, so that was probably the least favorite part of the menu regardless of whatever flavor it was. I do recall we asked for the dessert sauce to be on the side.

I'm not seeing $55/pp plus tax a gratuity worth of food there.
