Kohola Reef Restaurant and Social Club

Went to Volcano bay and this was the spot we choose to eat at after seeing people come out withmassive burgers. It wasn't too busy round 11ish and we got our food quick. This place was clean andhad nice seating areas. I purchased the Kohola Burger and Bacon Cheeseburger Both came with friesand were great. It did cost but what theme park food doesn't. Both were good and we enjoyed it.

Pork is tender and flavorful goes good with volcano beer. Come with a decent serving of fries. We

TIP #1. Eat here from 11am-12pm. If you come any later you will wait over 45 before you get your food. TIP #2. If it looks likes it's going to rain... get here fast! It will get super crowded because they close down the rides and everyone goes to eat. This place is expensive but the food is above average for theme park food. We ordered bacon burgers, pizza, and ribs. The burgers was slightly dry but still good. My daughter said the pizza tastes like Pizza Hut (idk)...about $16 and it feeds two easily. My wife said the ribs were soft but she's used to a different type of ribs... she likes hers a little crispier on the side.

Wow! Most incredible food at a theme park. One big con to get out of the way, is the obvious, the pricing! But you are able to bring your own food into the park, so you are not obligated to get food here. You may also bring in your own water, this is a bonus compared to other water parks.Due to either COVID, Spring break, or the park was filled to capacity, the lines here are very long, so be aware. But the food was top notch for a water park.We tried to coconut curry and rice chicken bowl. Best meal ever at a water park. It came with sweet plantains. So worth ordering. We also had the pulled pork sandwich and fries. Very, very tasty. The caramelized pineapple was amazing. We took the food back and ate on the beach in front of the volcano, really fun. For dessert, go a little ways past this food court and get the Watari five flavored soft serve ice cream! Sooo amazing. Smooth, creamy, best treat in the park. They also have smaller stands near by with corn dogs and churros. So everyone was happy! I love that this place has a unique variety on their menu. Check menus and locations of restaurants first before choosing. There was a kind man outside the restaurant with menus and directing customers to correct lines. Mobile ordering is available. You can also pay with the tapu tapu if you set up a credit card in advanced. I highly recommend it. It makes it easier and less time consuming.

After riding rides all morning at Volcano Bay we were so hungry. We decided to give Kohola Reef a try. After scanning over the menu we entered the long queue. Once we got to the foodcourt thats where any form of organization ended.It was absolute chaos at the food stations and the employees didnt seems to either help or care. Honestly they seemed to make things worse. It took a significant time for our group of 5 to get their food and drinks. By the time we got seated much of our food was cold.The Hawaiian BBQ ribs? Nothing Hawaiian about them. Honestly I have been to Hawaii and my cousin lives there on Maui. I found the ribs tender but the flavor confusing. The sides were good. The pineapple upside down cake? Just plain awful and tasteless. Dont waste your money here. Poor food quality, zero organization, Pricey, and limited seating for number of guests looking to eat.If you want to eat try one of the hotels nearby.

Went to volcano bay and this was the only quick serve food location open out of 3. It is definitely a pretty nice location right next to a pond and it is kept very clean. There was a pretty long line when I arrived and I waited about 15 minutes. I ordered the Kohola Tandoori chicken sandwich. It was a decent flavor, but the chicken portion was very thin and dry. The pizza looked delicious and I think maybe that is what I would go for next time. I just wish they had more food locations open to help with the crowds and offer more variety. This particular location does offer a pizza window, chicken and seafood window, and a burger and bbq window so you should be able to find something for everyone in the family. I wouldn't go out of my way for the food here, but given it's the only option at VB right now there isn't much of a choice.

My son and I split a pepperoni longboard pizza and I felt like it tasted like frozen pizza. The crust was not crispy. I wasn't a fan of it. My older son got a burger and loved it. He said it was his favorite thing in our 5 day trip, and he loves burgers. My husband got the green coconut curry rice bowl and said it was his favorite meal from the trip also. I also got a fruit bowl from the grab and go area, which was really cold and fresh tasting. The bowl had a couple of lychee pieces, blueberries, watermelon, pineapple, mandarin oranges, and the standard honeydew/cantaloupe combo. Overall probably the best food of all 3 parks. Would definitely recommend.

If I could give it one star I would. Knowing that being at an amusement park you are not going to find fine dining- but this meal was 70$ and less than edible.Let me start with, I eat gluten free and have found it bizarre that Universal has not put gluten free options on their boards in the parks. Here we had two 1/2 chicken platters, one was so dry it was next to impossible to eat, the other was a tad more tolerable. The BBQ pork sandwich was decent, other than the bun was stale.I ordered from the "gluten free binder" that the chef brought out to show me. This was a chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato, gluten free bun & fries. This was awful. Dry, tiny and my daughter actually said it looked like dry fish as it was the same color as salmon. I was hungry, so I ate a chunk of it. It was not worth the money.. Not to forget to mention that when my son went back to fill his drink cup with water, they made him go back outside, get in line+ (outside the place) and wait to come back in to ask for tap water in his soda (as the almost $4 soda was 75% ice with no refills)- this took him over 10 minutes to accomplish . Unacceptable.

If I can give 0 star, I will. We went to vocable bay water park last month, I tried to place mobile order for this restaurant. Their mobile keep shows app error so I can't get confirmation code. So I went to different restaurant for lunch. Later that day at 730pm, I received email said oh here is ur confirmation code for lunch. At that time water park is closed and we are already back in hotel. We left Orlando the next day, and they charged me for the food I never could even get. I tried to call but none of phone number I found online can reach them. I can't dispute through credit card company because they need you tried to fix it with merchant first. So there you go, get free money. I will never go there again.

The place was filthy, not one employee checked tables. Garbage everywhere. Ordered on mobile, arrived and got two eye rolls from employees. One told me they didn't do mobile orders (despite it being on the app, signage for pickup and an accepted order). Mahi sandwich was soggy. Flatbread pizza salty and overdone on one side. Pulled pork sandwich was nicely sized and done ok. Better places nearby or wait for your hotel.
