After more rides and some swimming at the hotel we headed out to Ohanas for dinner. We have eaten here before and it was one of our favorite meals. We had some really high expectations for this meal!
Our wait was only about 10 minutes and we were seated along with the little green men for this meal. The meal started with salad and hawaiian bread with pineapple in it. Then we had noodles and broccoli/pea mix, chicken wings/pork dumplins of some sort. Then they brought around the shrimp, beef, chicken, and pork that had been slow roasted over the fire. There were 3 dipping sauces but we opted out of one due to peanut ingredients. For dessert we had bread pudding with banana sauce and plain ice cream in case the kids didn't like the bread pudding.
The dinner lived up to expectations. My favorite was the broccoli and pea mix. After being cooked they still had quite a crunch to them and that is just how I like my veggies cooked! I also ate my fair share of noodles and shrimp. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and wasn't rubbery. the noodles just had a good flavor to them. The bread does not have a taste of pineapple to it that I noticed. That was a turn off for some of us at the table and they didn't try. I honestly thought it just tasted like a normal bread. It was warm, soft, and good.
Jesse ate a ton of the broccolis and centered the rest of her attention on the noodles. She picked at a chicken wing but didn't really eat any meat although it was offered to her.
Wheezy loved the shrimp and asked for 2nds on it. He tried a bit of all meats but didn't seem to like them as much as the shrimp.
Woody hates shrimp and focused his energy on the beef. He did try the pork and chicken but didn't finish them.
The 2 green men ate it all and claimed that the shrimp was the best. those at the table who tried the pork and chicken claimed it to be a bit dry. I didn't try either so I can't say for sure.
The dessert didn't excite any of us. We almost told them to skip dessert but we decided to try it since we were there already. To our surprise we all ended up liking the bread pudding. Wheezy and Jesse didn't try it but the adults all thought it wasn't too bad! The banana sauce made the dish!
Unfortunately our waiter wasn't up to par. I think English was his 2nd language and he wasn't really understanding all of our requests. For instance, Woody asked for some of the beef and he brought over the shrimp and started to put it on his plate. Woody kept trying to politely stop him and he told him he didn't want any shrimp but the waiter looked confused and kept piling more on his plate as if he thought Woody was asking for more. Same with little green man grandpa. He was given portions of food he was trying to deny but never got some of the refill of what he really asked for. green man grandma had problems ordering her drink and ended up having to point at it on a menu to get him to understand (alcoholic beverage). The waiter sure was trying...just not getting it all the time. He was very nice and brought Jesse a handful of leis and drink umbrellas to play with when she was getting antsy. He just seemed really slow and disappeared a lot throughout though.
They still do the games at Ohanas. There was dancing and coconut races which Jesse loved.
Overall we gave Ohanas a "F" on the U.F.O. rating system. We loved the food but the service was just a bit "off" on this trip. We'll probably return anyway in the future but it just wasn't one of our top picks this time around.

might have to go!
Your kids are adorable.....
As we walked around we chose to try to get into either Rose and Crown, Via Napoli, or Chefs de France. We started in Canada and hit Rose and Crown first. They had an opening and we took it!
