Ohana's new NOODLES and WONTONS.... (with PICS)

[dizkids]

Oh did not know about the change. Thanks for the info. Now an informed decision needs to be made.

Did anything on Ohana's Character Breakfast change? I have that booked too.

Well, now I am not so disappointed that I couldn't get an ADR during our trip. The potatoes were my fave. It would probably still be worth it though. I definitely would NOT cancel an ADR due to these changes. But I still feel better now!

DH says they better not touch his wings! I have the recipe and make them at home on special occasions.

I've had a hard time getting all the pages on this thread to load, so if this is a redundant question please overlook me! Is the 2nd picture posted of the fried wontons? They look like pot stickers, but I wasn't sure.

Yes, second pic is the wontons. They were crunchy.

Is that bread in the first picture?

Someone was saying on the Disney Dining Reviews board that the sticky wings are gone?? I hope they're mistaken!

Say it ain't so. This is the first I have heard about the wings being dropped from the new menu. Can anyone confirm this as fact? If so, are they being replaced with something else?

They had the wings when we were there last Friday.

Any news on whether or not the bread pudding is still on the menu?

The dessert was a pineapple bread pudding with ice cream and caramel sauce. If that's what you had before, then yes. We had it when we dined on Friday.

DH and I used to love O'hana when we lived in FL. In fact, we would drive all the way down to Orlando (90 minutes) just to eat dinner at O'hana and not go to the parks. When we first ate there in the mid to late 90s, they had a pu-pu platter which included chicken wings, egg rolls, the yummy salad, and delicious pork dumplings. The shrimp skewers were awesome as was the beef. At some point they had pork skewers as well. The pork was smoky, tender and full of flavor. Finishing off with the pineapple was heaven. It was a perfect light and sweet ending to a delicious meal.

We moved away in 2001. When we returned in December 2005, we were eager to try the new items, but were horribly disappointed. The wonton chips were good, but seemed like a very cheap replacement for the pu-pu platter. They kept the salad (thank goodness), but got rid of the succulent pork dumplings.

The shrimp appetizer was nowhere near as good as the shrimp skewers. The potatoes were (please no flames) absolutely disgusting. They were a mushy and cold glop. (Maybe we got a bad batch). The tender, smoky pork had been replaced by okay sausage. We were just horribly, horribly disappointed.

The final disappointment was (ok. Flame suit on) the banana bread pudding. Now, this Momma loves a good dessert. But I just couldn't eat more than 2 bites of the pudding. It was just too heavy and too sweet.

When we were making our WDW plans for this May, we went back and forth on the O'hana ADRs. We went ahead and made them and now I am glad I did. Although the pork wontons don't appear to be the old pork dumplings that we loved, we are looking forward to trying them. We are also eager to try the noodles. If they are still serving the bread pudding, I will request pineapple.

There are probably those who never had the menu we had when we first went to O'hana and are probably disappointed in these changes. And there are probably people out there who ate at O'hana before we did and enjoyed a different menu than the one DH and I loved. No matter how many changes are made, you will always have somebody that loves the old something and hates the new something and vice versa. Five years from now there will be different menu changes. Some of us will love it and some of us will vow to never eat there again. It is the way of life.

So enjoy what you love and discard what you don't.. and we will each find something to dance about...

Okay, the udon noodles look and sound great ~ I eat them all the time and love them

I would want wontons without pork though.

The jar of sauce is TACKY I can't believe they did that!

Shrimp sounds great love good shrimp.

That's about all that thrills me though, I'm not too interested in ever eating there again for dinner.

We are trying it for the character breakfast in Sept. though... hope it's good

So there is pinapple bread pudding now...not banana bread pudding? or is the dessert just a chunk of pineapple?

Does anyone remember the uproar when they switched to the potatoes and bread pudding? And gee, we had the same responses as this change-people were never going to eat there again, they were going to change their ADR's, they couldn't believe Disney was doing that to them, etc. And, now, everyone's complaining that they're changing those items for something else. A few still miss the pineapple dessert and rice, but most fell in love with the potatoes and bread pudding (over time). (The wonton chips were always just okay.) It will happen again. Change is good for you.

Perfectly stated! This whole thing makes me laugh.
