Ulu Café

This cafe is fantastic! The regular tuna poke was so good, I had it almost every day of my trip and it was Always perfectly fresh and truly delicious. The Spam Masubi is Phenomenal and shaped like Mickey. The popcorn is the iconic Disneyland popcorn, it was always fresh and very tasty. The tropical açaí bowl was 10/10, it's the Perfect breakfast. The smoked salmon and bagel was delicious. They have many drink options. It's such a great cafe. My only criticism is that the prices for some things are a bit high, especially for the cold brew. Also, it would be nice if they had milk or non-dairy milk that they could put in your coffee/cold brew. The service was always great.Overall, this place is amazing. Highly recommend!

A four star grab and go, not a sit-down style place.They have a good variety of food options for lunch like poke bowls, acai bowls, some grab and go salads, dole whip (this is the only place to get vanilla flavor), cookies, cakes and more. It's is a very convenient option for a quick lunch at the Aulani Resort. I got the Poke bowl today and it was pretty good. Nothing outstanding, but the fish was fresh, they give a good amount of each toppings, and really fill up the bowl. I can't really speak to the desserts or grab and go items on the shelves, but again probably a good option for snacks and quick bites.Ordering process for food is really quick and simple. One thing to note is that if you're ordering a bowl, you need to wait in line to make your bowl and then wait in a second line to pay.They also have soda refill stations located outside and plenty of condiments and napkins available for guests. Decent price point for a Disney Hotel.

5 stars for the herb roasted chicken dinner entree. It is the best chicken we have ever had. My son is a picky eater right now and 2 nights in a row he ate most of the chicken on my plate! It is onolicious!The service here is great and all the cast members are so friendly! The refillable mugs are a nice touch.Right now the Mickey musubi is $7. Too expensive for my liking so we haven't tried it- we went across the street to the ABC store and got musubis for 2 for $5.

We went to the Ulu Cafe a lot during our stay at Aulani. Amazing selection of items including a lot of gluten free treats and snacks which makes this girl very very happy! Over the course of our stay we bought the unlimited drink cups...so worth it! There's 3 soda machines right outside on their patio. Gluten free muffin, chia seed pudding, caprese salad, chips, etc. Everyone at this entire resort is sooo friendly and helpful too.

Such a cool spot located right at the Disney Hotel near the pool area. This is a great casual spot to pop in for a quick casual meal on the go. There are also refill bottles they sell to refill with water or soda. I tried the breakfast veggie pizza here, and was not a big fan. It was unique, I'll give them that. There are many Disney themed treats, my top 3 faves were the Mickey shaped brownies and Spam musubis, as well as the chia seed pudding. Tip: The spam musubis and chia pudding sell out fast. I believe the spam musubi is put out around 11, but if you want to guarantee you snag some you should probably be there at least 15 minutes early.

Great little grab n go spot. Get there at 11am to grab the spam musubis. Chips are $4. Drink stations are there too. Poke bowl was great!

This is my favorite spot in the resort to grab a quick snack. The price here is more affordable than the other locations. Also make sure to get the refillable cup if you are staying long. It's worth it if you get more than 4 refills.

Had pepperoni pizza at night. Idk it's a Hawaiian style or not but their pepperoni was in slab and we did not enjoy it. They sell unlimited refill cups there.

Ok let's set expectations straight, it's Hawaii, it's Disney's Aulani - so it's expensive, but Ulu cafe is super convenient and offers a decent selection of quick grab and go, poke station, healthy or unhealthy, hot entree, etc options to appease everyone.We came for dinner and then also for quick lunch. For dinner, we had the herb crusted chicken hot entree with two sides (rice and Mac salad) and of course had to get a Dole Whip for dessert. The herb chicken was actually really good. A quartered chicken, nicely seasoned, perfectly cooked where the skin was browned but the meat was tender and cooked thoroughly. Did the Dole Whip taste better than at Disneyland since it was Hawaii? I am not sure, but either way it was delicious.The next day we had to get the Mickey Mouse spam musubis which were a whopping $7 each. Because of the fun shape, it definitely wasn't ideal in terms of spam to rice ratio, but you have to get it and bring it to the private beach for a photo.

No 'Ulu found here but a bunch of convenience ready to go!Vacay mode is quite exhausting let along when hanger sets it Ulu Cafe is your best friend as it's filled with everything for everyone weather you're thirsty, graving something sweet, salty or just plain hungry!Majority of the items are all pre-made like fresh fruits, chia seed pudding, cheese and nuts plate, sandwiches, salads or what we had...Poke Bowl! Yes they have three sets to choose from (Classic, Spicy Tuna, or California) or if you're like us..."Build your own" with protein choices of Ahi, Salmon, Shrimp or Tofu to pair with base of Salad, Sushi rice or Brown rice this is the bowl of your dreams.I did choose Salad, Ahi with Spicy Mayo topped with Edamame, Seaweed Salad, Ogo, Cucumber, Jalapeño, they were out of Inamona (kūkui nut) and along with a can of Hawaiian Sun this was a the perfect bowl...in my opinion. With a bunch of seating to choose from either at the cafe or along side the various pool it's a matter of view and location that's just so shady!The service here is very friendly talking as we assembled our poke bowl it's the best casual place to be the whole vibe and ambiance is golden.Thank you!
