Tangaroa Terrace Tropical Bar & Grill - Anaheim, California

EmeraldCity VeganEats

Tangaroa Terrace Restaurant at Disneyland Hotel. This is a cute tropical Hawaiian themed restaurant.

You can definitely find a couple of great healthy vegan options here whether you're looking for an amazing breakfast to start your day or a light salad to end it or some adult beverages ? (via the attached bar around the corner, Trader Sam's).

We had plenty to eat throughout the day so I was looking for something lighter and, the Swaying Palm Salad, with the charred hearts of palm, cashews, puffed rice noodles and more, looked to be a perfect option. I would say you really have to be a salad person to appreciate this salad. I appreciate a good salad but I'm not like "a salad person" and in spite of variety of ingredients .. which I appreciated, I was umm inspired by this salad. Again, if you're "a salad person", you'll probably find yourself having more of an affinity for this, as it's probably just one of those "it's not you, it's me" kinda things....

In addition to the salad, we ordered a couple of "Nightmare Grog Floats with Rum" from Trader Sam's, which is a bar that's attached to the Tangaroa Terrace restaurant. The drink on the left was made with a lighter rum and on the right, a darker rum, but I couldn't speak to the specific brand. This was really delicious but I mean, who doesn't love Dole Whip ? (if that's "you", please don't out yourself ?, I think it's best for you and everyone else involved that you remain in hiding ? lol). On an aside, while the drink was supposed to be presented inside of the Nightmare Before Christmas cups and clearly .. was not, they still gave us the cups separately so .. no harm, no foul.

Last but certainly not least was their breakfast, holy f(bleeped to avoid social media police and a feigned sense of moral decency lol). I'm totally a sucker for anything "avocado toast" so I was easily intrigued by this menu item, especially given it was on a croissant. I didn't expect this breakfast to be so "much", and I say that in an amazingly good way, I thought I was merely ordering a sandwich but turns out, I received an experience! The croissant was light, fluffy and flaky. The breakfast as a whole was very filling yet light and healthy, you'll finish feeling full without feeling weighed down.

Honest Reviews

Atmosphere- 5 stars- What can I say! In the middle of the Disneyland Resort with views of tropical gardens, tiki torches and the pool- just awesome!!

Service- extremely friendly cast members!! Very helpful with ordering ideas. It’s basically counter service or online ordering but they bring everything to your table. They roam around making sure you don’t need anything and take away your empty trays- plates.

Food- Prices can be high but this is to be expected however you can order from the kids menu which is a lot better pricing. These meals include a drink- unlimited soda refills. We got a kids cheeseburger meal and a kids teriyaki chicken bowl and both were really good. We also got an order of pork gyoza - very good as well.

We loved this place!!!

We ate breakfast here as a quick-service restaurant. Breakfast available until 11. The portions are much bigger than represented in the menu photos...one dish is probably plenty for most. Great tropical flavors to enjoy while seated on the patio or inside. Very friendly cast members here! The Thick & Fluffy Japanese Pancakes were amazing with their guava syrup and fresh fruit. The Loco Moco Burrito was good overall but could use more gravy throughout (maybe request a side of it). A very nice breakfast in the Downtown Disney and Disneyland Hotel area.

Solid and simple breakfast option if you are staying at Disneyland Hotel with your family. We appreciated they opened early (7am). You order at register and they bring the food out to you. Breakfast was quick, easy, and what we expected. Tangaroa Toast had great flavor. American breakfast was perfect for our kids. Avocado Toast was great too.

Great allergy-friendly menu and full bar, including rum dole whip, at the comfort of your hotel. It's so nice to be able to check in on travel days (no park tickets yet) and still get dole whip ?
