Shocked to see the reviews so low?
Is this fine dining? No… you’re in a freaking water park! Is it much better than your standard theme park counter service? Yes. Is it the best food I’ve had in a water park? Absolutely!
I did some research ahead, and was told that the curry bowl with chicken was hands down the way to go, and I was not disappointed. We also had the Huli Huli chicken sandwich, and it was quite good as well. Good portions, good flavor, hot and satisfying.
Pro tip – get your food here and then walk down the path to the Dragon Bar to get a cocktail, eat there, and enjoy the beautiful view.

We’re not finished with our Universal visit but I had to get on here and leave a review for the ribs at Kohola Reef. Horrible! Don’t waste your money. My son got them and hated them and said he couldn’t eat them. Figured I would switch my pizza for his ribs as we already spent $62 for the 3 of us, but I’m not eating whatever this is. It doesn’t taste like ribs and the texture is weird. Very dry. Don’t waste your money. Only thing we’re eating from that meal is the fries and coleslaw. The pepperoni pizza is what you’d expect for theme park food, but surprisingly good. Husband said Hawaiian pizza is edible but wouldn’t order it again. $62 for the 3 food items in pictures and 2 fountain drinks.

The food was a good sized portion for the price, and taste good, but the only thing is when you did receive your food, it was cold, unfortunately.
The lines to get the food were insane and we did Mobile order to boot.
The Freestyle machines were out of Ice, and the lines for them were line I4 traffic. It was really noisy in that area.
There was plenty of seating, as long as you went to the back area, which was nice, because it was a bit more quite in that area.
The ambiance is nice, because you obviously feel like you’re in Hawaii under a HUGE hut, which is cool, because you can eat, outside, even if it’s raining.
The tables and floors need to be cleaned up more often. I didn’t see anyone taking care of those things.

We definitely do not recommend eating here. At $16.99, the Ropa Vieja Bowl is poor value; the plantain chips were hard and tasteless, and the bowl was bland. While the burger was okay, the service was slow and NOT friendly.
It is simply not worth the high price tag and slow/unfriendly service. Next time, we will pack our own sandwiches or leave the park for a meal!

I actually think the Kohola burger is good, but don’t expect something spectacular because it’s a water park.

Over 100usd for a family of 4 for food and drinks. Of all the theme parks visited in the last few days: USO, Islands of Adventure, Epic. This restaurant at volcano bay is the most disgusting food I have ever attempted to eat, not only at a theme park but anywhere on earth. All of it went in the bin with a few bites taken out. Feel like I have been robbed. If your going to serve food it should at least be edible. We get ripped off for entry, express pass, towels, cabanas or a shaded seat, Nickel and dimed at every turn. Would it be too much to ask to have some decent hot food options that people can eat. Do better Universal, stop serving people cold trash. Also, the staff particularly here were rude, and unhelpful.

I thought the options sounded fantastic especially for a water park and they looked pretty great. Generous servings. Refill bar for self service. But the actual taste of the food was not that great sadly. I have to really praise the staff though. They kept the place clean and were helpful and accommodating, thank you so much for that. Our stay was wonderful even though the taste could be tweaked a little bit we were still very happy. We pre-ordered Mobil and it made it all very fast.

I visited Volcano Bay the summer of 2021 and ate in this restaurant. The food was delicious. I really loved the Chicken Coconut curry. My husband ate ribs his salad had fruit in it was also delicious.

We got the pineapple pulled pork sandwich and ribs platter. The ribs was delicious but the sandwich was too messy and not that great. The fries and mango slaw that it comes with though are very delicious
