  The quick service option for Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar No validation for Downtown Disney (Simba Parking Lot) parking Tangaroa Terrace has the same menu as it's sit-down restaurant cousin, with some menu items being a dollar cheaper or so (Tonkotusu Ramen). Had a Disney e-gift card, and decided to eat here, after being declined at Storyteller's Cafe, due to high demand. Tonkotsu Ramen- Rich pork-based broth, fish cake, wavy noodles, pork belly, green onions, shiitake mushrooms, marinated soft-boiled egg, garlic oil & nori. Sambal on the side. Just as good as ramen from a ramen shop, Tangaroa Terrace's Tonkotsu Ramen was a good portion of soup in a large bowl. Unfortunately, it seems fish cake is no longer included, despite being specified by the menu description. However, the pork belly chashu was tender, the wavy noodles (my favorite ramen noodles) al dente, and the shiitake mushrooms providing umami. I did feel the soft-boiled egg was slightly overcooked, as some of the yolk was solid. I asked the attendant for chili flake/oil, to where she informed me of the side of sambal. Having only a slight markup compared to ramen from a ramen shop, Trader Sam's Tonkotsu Ramen is delicious and a great meal to have when nearby. Safari Swizzle- Hamilton 151 rum, fresh lime juice, mint & agave nectar, Angostura bitters. Asking the attendant for recommendations on a less sweet, more stiff drink, she suggested the Safari Swizzle, and I immensely enjoyed the minty & herbaceous, overproofed tropical drink. Service was fine. Wait was minimal for food & drink. Tangaroa Terrace wasn't busy at the time. Tables are first come, first serve, so availability may vary. A good option for a meal, Tangaroa Terrace is a great option for when you want something fast casual, so more time can be spent at the theme parks or shopping at Downtown Disney. I look forward to coming back and exploring the rest of the menu, but it will be mighty hard to pass up on another bowl of that delicious tonkotsu ramen.

  Breakfast menu says that it is served until 11. We went in at 10:40 and were told that they stop allowing breakfast orders at 10:30. Who wants a burger at 10:30AM? Why isn’t this cutoff stated anywhere? After waking up at 5:30AM for early entry 3 days in a row, sleeping in was nice and it was highly disappointing to not be able to grab breakfast still within the stated timeframe.

  They have servers in the bar area. Yet they won’t serve you. They made 20+ people stand in a line just to order glasses of wine and food while the servers and bar tenders for the area simply bussed tables and only served people sitting directly at the bar. I’m unsure why they have employed servers that provide no service. I would have expected much more from a place in the Disneyland hotel. I waited for 30 minutes for 2 glasses of wine after very long day in the park and I just wanted to have a glass of wine. Very disappointing. Below is the Neverending line.
