Aloha Aulani

Ulu Cafe

A combination of counter-service, bakery, and convenience store. The food is generally pretty good, the serving sizes are usually substantial, and the prices are the closest thing to reasonable on property.  

Counter service

There’s a cafeteria counter that serves already-made hot food. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all offered here, although the selections are limited.  The items on the wall-mounted signs are available daily, but there are typically free standing signs advertising daily specials.

Poke Bowls

We get one of these every time we go to Aulani.   You can either select from one of three pre-set options or build your own.   Unlike ordering a pizza, there is no form to fill out, you just tell the person at the counter what you want and they make it right then.

1. Pick your base: Salad, sushi rice, brown rice.
2. Pick your protein(s): Ahi, Salmon, Shrimp, or Tofu.  You can select as many of these as you want, but you’ll get roughly the same amount of protein weight-wise (they use a scale).
3. Pick your condiments: Radish, Edamame, Maui Onion, Seaweed Salad, Ogo, Cucumber, Scallion, Jalapano Inamona (tree nut), Shredded Nori, Hawaiian Salt, Sesame Seed, Furikake, Chili Flake, Wasabe Pea.  Pick as many of these as you want.
4. Pick your sauce(s): Soy, Creamy Sesame, Yuzu, Sesame Oil, Spicy Mayonnaise, Chili Water.

Grab-and-go

There are a number of refrigerated cases with grab-and-go items such as salads, pre-made poke bowls, sandwiches, wraps, fresh cut fruit, yogurt, and beverages.

Convenience Store

Free standing shelves holds fresh fruit, individually packed cereal, and snacks.   This is a good place to pick up a few treats to take home with you.  You can also pick up Aulani-themed refillable beverage mugs here.

Bakery

Bakery cases offer all the standard Disney treats: cookies, brownies, donuts, cinnamon rolls, muffins, croissants, etc.  There are also a few Hawaii themed treats to be found.
