Tangaroa Terrace: A Delicious Disneyland Oasis

Welcome to this tropical hideaway, you lucky people you! And, no, we’re not talking about the Enchanted Tiki Room, but rather a Disneyland dining gem inspired by the classic attraction that we can’t get enough of!

Located on the grounds of the Disneyland Hotel, Tangaroa Terrace is attached to Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar and right next to the resort’s pools.

Tangaroa Terrace does, in fact, offer a wrap-around terrace for guests looking to enjoy some island time after park time. But for those on the go or who prefer to dine by the pool, we found Tangaroa’s Mobile Order fast, easy, and with its own designated pick-up section.

This resort restaurant is open from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

We reviewed Tangaroa’s breakfast menu (complete with Disneyland’s version of Tonga Toast!) earlier this year; and now, we’re sharing what we love from its island-inspired lunch and dinner menus.

Little Gem Salad with Grilled Salmon – $20.00

This was insane. Candied macadamia nuts AND a POG vinaigrette?! Seriously, the vinaigrette was so good that we wanted a bottle to take home. We’re still upset it’s so far away from Walt Disney World. Someone from the Polynesian needs to fly out to Anaheim immediately to take a few notes and bring this to Florida.

 Pork Goyza – $15.00

Loved. Bite on the outside, perfectly chewy, and according to our park reporter Chrissy, an Unagi sauce that made her have a Ross moment.  Just delicious.

Panko-crusted Long Beans – $10.00

This one was so different and a prime example of why East Coast Disney fans should visit Disneyland if they’re on the fence. The food alone will make you think it was money well spent.

Tempura Shrimp – $20.00

Described as Tempura-fried shrimp, Furikake, Gochujang aioli, dried Togarashi, crispy garlic, and Ponzu sauce, this was good but not a standout. Skip it and spend the cash on dessert!

Speaking of which, Tangaroa Terrace also serves Dole Whips. No park ticket required!  This is also a great spot for coffee and those grab n’ go items.
