Where to eat at Universal Orlando including menus

[dedex13]

I hope someone can answer this... I was looking at the RPR Island's menu and see they have Orange Ginger Chicken and the description says "crispy chicken, red onions". Does anyone know if there are other vegetables in it? My daughter loves orange chicken, but not so much when there are a bunch of vegetables in it.

Also, there are a couple of items from the Jake's menu also on the Island's menu. So you can order those while at Island's now? Which would be great for me since nothing on the Island's menu appeals to me (and nothing on the Jake's menu appeals to my daughter, so win-win all around).

I had orange ginger chicken last week in The Islands and it had a little red onion in it, no other veg........I wished it had more onion and wasn't overly gingery either........but it was lovely.

You can also order that orange chicken and other items off of Jake's menu in Orchids Lounge too.

Didn't look at anything else on the menu in Islands.......we love Jake's menu too........fantastic place to eat

Thanks, Schumgirl. Another question... when you say "wasn't overly gingery" did you mean it had too much ginger? If there is too much of a gingery bite to it my daughter probably won't like it.

Last year I tried to get my daughter out of her hamburger comfort zone and failed miserably. I want to try to avoid that this year!

No, it was a very mild ginger taste....don't know I could have picked it out as an ingredient if it didn't tell me it was in it on the menu.

I'm sure your daughter will be ok with it....it was lovely

Excellent! Thanks again, Schumigirl!

Is the Hot Dog place open as well - hard to tell from the site

Does anyone know if Cowfish is a sit down restaurant or is it more of a counter service? The menu looks great! Any pictures of the interior? It looks like somewhere we will want to try end of November.

Cowfish is a full service, sit down restaurant. Looks like it should be open by the end of November. It isn't open yet.

Anyone have a suggestion for a restaurant in Citywalk, 2 adults, adventurous eaters? We're making a quick trip over Valentine's Day weekend, and thought we'd go to Citywalk one afternoon/evening. We are on a budget, so we don't want anything too elaborate. We're even open to a quick service place if it's fun/different somehow. The hotdog place looks fun, but we're looking for other ideas too. TIA!

We enjoyed our pizzas at Red Oven. They were great and kids wanted to eat there again. Nice size pies.

I was wondering if Cowfish is open for business yet? If not, is there a firm opening date? Thank you!

Edit: never mind, I just found an answer to my question higher up in the thread... so no firm date as of yet.
