'Ohana with a non meat eater, possible?

[OchreHand]

Hi everyone,

In January I'll be dining at 'Ohana with a friend who doesn't eat meat but is okay with fish. This is our first time there so I'm not sure what to expect..

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this?

Thanks, Jeremy

I would say, as long as they really like shrimp, they'll be okay. There will be salad, noodles, and stir-fried veggies too to help fill them up, but don't get too full. Must save room for the awesome banana bread pudding dessert!

In my experience, 'Ohana is surprisingly wonderful for people who don't eat meat. I intended to make a meal of the standard salad and noodles, and I would have been happy enough with just those. But when I gave our waitress a heads-up not to bring us a boatload of the wings and potstickers, she brought me a vegetarian (vegan, actually) appetizer consisting of three dips (hummus, red pepper hummus, and baba ghanoush, IIRC) with flatbreads for dipping. For the entrée, I got my own huge bowl of the stir fry with added tofu. At dessert time, she asked if I was ok with dairy.... I'm not, but I was so full by that time, I didn't plan on eating dessert, anyway. So I said dairy was ok, and she brought out the standard bread pudding dessert, which my tablemate picked at (being quite full himself, by then).

The one time we did dinner at 'Ohana, there was a family next to us where the mom had multiple food issues and was veggie and I remember she had a great-looking veggie meal brought just for her.

Ohana is a great place for vegetarians! I actually think it's ranked one of the best veggie friendly restaurants in Disney World. We went with my sister and BIL (both vegetarians) and they loved it!

I heard it is good. We have 2 vegetarians with us for our ADR next week and I am expecting it to be good from what I have heard.

'Ohana is very accustomed to accommodating vegetarian diets, so I wouldn't let that stop you. Actually, the carnivores at your table might end up being jealous, since the vegetarian meal will be prepared fresh and just for your friend.

Putting Ohana on our list for next trip now (I'm vegetarian, DH and ODD aren't, but they also aren't huge meat eaters).
