Quite a good selection of prepared sandwiches, fruits, yogurts, charcuterie boards and salads. They make fresh sandwiches on the spot and serve mac and cheese. Great seating next to the walking bridge, restrooms nearby.

French ham sandwich was good but turkey club wrap was really bad. However both are too expensive. 2 sandwiches, 1 wrap with 3 small chip bags=$52? No way.

The French Dip sandwich was pretty tasty and a generous portion of meat. It came in around $17-18 for the sandwich + chips. They have a great grab and go selection of sandwiches, salads, etc
Seating is all outdoors. Some areas have umbrellas or are covered. The views from the patios here are excellent, you’re up high and can see out across the zoo.

Ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and it just wasn’t good. My wife had a wrap and it was good. Great outdoor seating with views.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food here. Shared a salad and appetizer with my partner. The quality was above and beyond what one would expect from food in a zoo, and the cocktail my partner ordered was also delicious. We sat outside on the porch surrounded by plants and water features.
Price-wise, it was comparable to what you’d pay outside of the zoo for a similar meal. A tad more expensive than the typical chicken-tenders-and-hot-dog cafes within the park… those are of course overpriced so if you’re going to buy food at the zoo I highly recommend splurging a bit and going here. The food, service, and ambiance is worth it!

I ate in the zoo, the service was terrible. Leader did not understand English or my question just like the service lady. The served food wasn’t look the picture menu. Also it tasted awful! When I complained, they accused me screaming at them. They also called the real manager said that I threatened them! So I, 73 years old with my friend 83 were escorted out of zoo, without seeing pandas!

We bought the family meal for three adults and three kids. It was enough food but sadly the food was not that great. The pizza reminded me of school cafeteria pizza. The garlic bread was not garlicky at all and soggy and bland. Even ranch could not save the garlic bread. The Caesar salad was fine. It was salad. It was a little pricey but I know amusement parks/zoos use the revenue to support the zoo but I wish the food had been higher quality. Even my son who loves garlic bread didn’t like it.

Although the location is wonderful – it is out of the way, relaxing and beautiful, the food was terrible. I had the curried chicken wrap. For $16.99 you get a soggy wrap which had almost totally disintegrated. There was very little chicken – hard to find. Bring your food if you are going to eat here.

Mediocre food and cold overpriced drinks. What else would you expect?
