First, fair warning, this area of the park gets PACKED! Whether it's because the San Fransokyo (Baymax) remodel was just completed or because there are several dining options. There is only outside seating.... unless you know the hidden inside area which only at the most has 7 tables. We found it by accident. (Happy hunting).
I actually don't remember anything about the interior design of the restaurant as it was a bit overwhelming. The castmembers register system wasn't the most organized. We mobile ordered on the Disneyland app, which is easy to do. Once our time window came, we hit IM HERE, and we were called in 5 minutes to pick up. The line was extremely long and unorganized. They called to many orders to pick up at once, and it was a mess.
The food was phenomenal! I got the Turkey Pesto Club (13.29), which came with chips. The flavor was mouth watering. It was the perfect amount of everything; meat, veggie, bread. My partner got the San Fransokyo Clam Chowder Bread Bowl (12.49). He was the most excited for this out of the entire trip, I think. He wouldn't stop talking about it before, and he hasn't stopped talking about it since. I also got a cocktail to try. The Peach Soju Citrus (16.99). It was light, tasty, and refreshing. If there was alcohol in it has it claims, I didn't taste it or feel it. For dessert, I got the Japanese-Style Fluffy Cheesecake (6.99). I've seen videos of how they make it when they went viral but never have tried it. It's definitely different. Light, airy, and floury. Like, you could kinda feel and taste raw flour powder. There wasn't much flavor to it all. My partner tried it (he hates cheesecake with a passion) and said he could have eaten it.
Would go back for the food even though the service experience...
Read moreWe knew we had to have the sourdough bread bowls from here for a meal. I highly recommend using mobile order for this place and just going directly to pick up your order instead of standing in line. They only have 3 options for the bread bowl. We got the macaroni and cheese, and the curry beef, which is Japanese curry if you are familiar with that. It is a very specific flavor that you have to like, but if you do then it is very good. The mac and cheese was good but was giving velveta cheese vibes. The bowl itself is mostly hollowed out so the top that they cut off will give you the most bread, and then you can scrape some from insidfe your bowl but not much. Since the bowl is hollowed out you can’t really eat the bowl with much success, since it is hard and crispy on the outside and hard to tear off. We also got the Shrimp Katsu sandwich which was adequate but just okay. The garlic chips that come with it have a Funyuns texture which is interesting. They have other Asian inspired things you can order here as well as sourdough bread, which they are famous for. There is a large combined outdoor seating area in the middle of all of the food places here. Many of the seating area was taken up and was busy, so you do have to scout out a table if you are there during any type of mealtime. We also mobile ordered some beers from the cervezeria right there as well for some drinks. Overall, we love having the bread bowls and will probably be back on our next...
Read moreThis is a great spot to pick up soup or Mac & Cheese (in a sourdough bowl, of course), salads and sandwiches --- but our favorite mid-day snack is some sourdough and butter. And this past time we were there, they had a sourdough baguette which was perfect!
The also have cute Mickey loaves - my favorite one is during Halloween when they make a Mickey Dracula loaf of bread!
If you and your group just need a little snack to hold you over to dinner, go get yourself some bread and butter and maybe a little drink. It's delicious and very reasonable! They have a lot of seating, but sometimes you'll still find yourself hovering over a family that is just about to finish, just so you can snag their table.
*Be sure to have a travel size packet of wet wipes in your bag so you can wipe the table down, since the bussers can't seem to keep up with the demand - or they just don't have enough bussers. We tried finding one to wipe our table down and there was not one anywhere...
