Ulu Cafe

Ulu Cafe is located on the first floor of Disney Aulani Resort, adjacent to the Wailana Pool.

Ulu Cafe is one of the best quick-service restaurants in Disney Aulani. It’s a great place to go for hot plates and snacks when you are lounging by the pool or need quick options for breakfast/dinner. You’ll find popular items are chicken tenders, burgers, hot sandwiches, açaí bowls, poke bowls, and desserts! The food is one of the better options on site. The breakfast burrito and whole pizzas are filling and good with fresh ingredients.

‘Ōlelo Room

The ‘Ōlelo Room is located on the first floor of the main building, adjacent to Makahiki. The outdoor patio overlooks the koi pond at night, and they often have live Hawaiian musicians performing.

‘Ōlelo Room has a menu that constantly changes but we’ve had the sushi here several times and it was so fresh! Try the Korean chicken wings, popcorn fries, or sliders.

It’s important to know before dining in, that the dress code on the website says no swimsuits are allowed unless covered up. Shirts, shoes, or sandals are required.

Time your visit to Pāpālua either right when they open or later in the day, the lines will get long and the wait can be around 20-30 min. Currently, this quick service restaurant in Disney Aulani only takes cash and not the resort card.
