My teen wanted spaghetti and Plaza Inn came through for the win! I love this place as it has an old cafeteria vibe inside. The pink umbrellas and seating are hard to miss outside. I like the cafeteria style service. You see what you like and they dish it out for you. They have different stations so you're not stuck waiting in a long line. The spaghetti was ok. There was plenty of sauce. The portion was average.

Located just outside to Tomorrow Land is Plaza Inn. Heard a lot about the Chicken Meal and had to try it. Beautiful inside and out. Tons of seating between the inside and outside. This restaurant ran kind of buffet style. So you go online and get your chicken and then they put the rest of the meal with it then if you want a salad or dessert that's in a separate location. The chicken was seasoned well and cooked well. The quality was that a supermarket deli. The potatoes were instant potato tasting. Quality just seemed pretty low for the price. I told my wife next time we should just eat outside of Disney.

Always eat at this restaurant. Portions are large so we share a chicken dinner with extra mashed potatoes instead of green beans. This seasonal pumpkin cake was one of my favorite park sweets-delicious! So much seating you have no trouble finding a table and can people watch

Gluten free mickey Minnie Waffles

I always looooove dining at The Plaza Inn. I have dined here a few times with friends and family. The Plaza Inn has good food and is so fun to meet the characters. Food- 10/10. I loooove the buffet they have. I am gluten free and am so thankful that they have gluten free mickey mouse waffles :) They also have a great selection of breakfast food and drinks. It's nice having all you can eat, it makes the price worth it. Service- 10/10. Classic Disney, they have great service. Everyone is so welcoming, patient, and helpful. Characters- I loooove getting to dine with the characters :) Some of the characters are unique to the restaurant, and you don't typically see them elsewhere in the park. They come around to all tables, so everyone has a chance to meet them and take pictures. Whether you're a kid or an adult, this is such a fun experience! You also get a photo with Minnie Mouse in the beginning. Price- $60 adults. Honestly it's expensive but worth it. It's all you can eat and a fun experience. Great for special occasions!

2nd best theme park fried chicken in Orange County
Conor B.

The fried chicken here is the 2nd best theme park fried chicken in Southern California (Let's just say 1st place is very nearby). But that's not to say it's bad. In fact, it's one of the best meal deals in the park in my opinion. You get huge portions and the price is still decent. If I'm not eating at the nearby corn dog cart, you'll find me having lunch or dinner here. The location is a bit of a cafeteria style restaurant. You pick your type of food (pasta, fried chicken, salad) and go to the countertop and employees will give you a fresh portion of food. You then walk over to a central checkout and then it's off to either the small indoor eating or slightly larger patio to enjoy your meal. As with all Disneyland areas, employees are beyond friendly and the whole area is kept wonderfully clean. I feel like, for whatever reason, a lot of people sleep on Plaza Inn. This shocks me. It should always be busier than it is.

Chicken entree

3-ish stars rounded up. I tried the chicken entree and it's a pretty decent hearty meal! The chicken reminds me a lot of the fried chicken at Winco tbh lol (not exceptionally crispy but flavorful) but that means that it can hit the general craving for fried chicken. I can see why people tend to get a double helping of the mashed potatoes; very notable silky buttery taste to them! The seasonal vegetables at the time of my visit were simmered green beans and they were super tender (though a tad over-peppered.....still delicious!). The buttermilk biscuit is fluffy but bland (needed even just a pinch more of salt). Easily shareable between two people. Overall I recommend the meal especially if you're looking for a no-fuss dinner that would keep you full until park closing.

My first time at Plaza Inn and I liked it. I heard the fried chicken was good and it sure was! $21.99 for a plate of 3 pcs, sides and a biscuit is reasonable for amount of food. Cafeteria style, grab a tray and pick what you want from servers. Pay at cashier and find a seat. Service was nice and quick.

Plaza Inn is the only character dining experience offered in Disneyland Park. You can dine with Minnie and her friends during breakfast. This experience is only offered in the morning. Hours: 8AM-11AM character dining and 12PM-10PM (2026) I love their breakfast options. It's buffet style, and the food options are amazing. You will definitely be overly full afterwards, but don't worry, you'll lose it while walking around the parks. There's so many characters, and they're very interactive! You also get a special photo op with Minnie Mouse before you dine. And the photos are free! You'd receive them through the Disneyland app. After breakfast hours, the experience ends and it's casual dining. If you ain't ending your night at Plaza Inn for dinner, then did you really end your trip right?? Lol. They're well known for their fried chicken with mashed potatoes, biscuit, and green beans. They give you 3 large fried chickens that are seasoned and fried well. The mashed potatoes are chunky, creamy, and delicious. The green beans were seasoned to perfection. They also offer a salmon dish, kids meals, and pasta meal. They have so many small dessert dishes. There's basic fountain drinks and bottled juices. During lunch and dinner hours, you'd pick all your plates yourself and seat yourself since it's casual dining. Whereas during the character dining experience, a cast member will seat you.

It's criminal how long it's taken for me to try the Plaza Inn! I've passed by it so many times while trying to hop on rides, and always said I need to eat here one day, which should've been much sooner! This is one of the higher quality meals you can get that really doesn't taste like theme park food. There's a wide array of options - pasta, salads, and their signature fried chicken that you probably always smell while walking by, so I had to give that one a try. You simply grab a tray and pick the station you want to go to, and the service is nice and quick! You can ask for all dark meat, so I was able to get 2 thighs and a drumstick. The chicken was juicy, crispy, and perfectly seasoned! The mashed potatoes were smooth, and the gravy was tasty, definitely a really filling meal that also just gives you that comfort food vibe. There's plenty of tables, both inside and out, and you get can get a pretty good view of the parade if you're eating here around this time. If you've been waiting to try this spot for as long as I was, here's your sign to finally go!

Visited Disneyland on 04/30/26 and indulged with the famous fried chicken at the Plaza Inn. The chicken was fresh and fried to perfection. The mashed potatoes and gravy were delicious as well. The green beans could have been cooked a little longer and some herb and spices or seasoning was needed as they were extremely bland. I recommend this restaurant for a feels like home meal. The restaurant sits between the Star Tours ride & Main St. They also have meatloaf, salad, pasta and a seafood opt ion as well as dessert Fuel up and take a ride on the rockets afterwards. Nice weather for a fun-filled day. Keep in mind this is a very popular restaurant and is always busy during the day and night. But no worries because there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Say cheese!

This was my second visit to Plaza inn. This time I didn't have breakfast with the characters though. This time it was lunch with one of my besties. I've heard nothing but great things about their chicken and the hype is true... it is in fact Amazing! Everything I've had here has been delicious! Cleanliness and organization is a must for me and I feel like this place is just that... the food is super fresh! I would have given it 5 stars but not all seats are in the shade and I know that's not their fault but I was half shade half sun and my chocolate cake (amazing by the way) was melting a little so we had to hurry up and eat it... Overall... 5 stars for me! We will definitely be back for more!

The hype is real, this is definitely the place for the best fried chicken at Disneyland! While it wasn't the crispiest chicken around (it may have been sitting there awhile), it's definitely juicy, generously portioned, and where it really shines is the very well seasoned and distinctive skin. Plenty to share but if you're hungry, nothing wrong with getting your own. The rest was decent, especially the mashed potatoes & gravy, but the star is the chicken. We also had a kids meal chicken tenders later since we were still hungry which wasn't bad and a good deal. Outside seating has great views, especially during fireworks!

CHICKEN - $21.99 - 3 pieces of Fried Chicken, served with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Buttermilk Biscuit and seasonal Vegetables.

WHEN: Mon @6:30pm It was a busy night since it was dinner time, and there was a long line that looped just to get seated. However, you would get your food from the counter, pay for it, then sit down. They did announce that seats were extremely limited to non since most parties would save a table before they even order (shame on them!). But I lucked out with a table inside because one party was just leaving. Here's what we ordered: CHICKEN - $21.99 Three pieces of Chicken, fried to a golden brown, seasoned with distinctive Herbs and Spices, served with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Buttermilk Biscuit and seasonal Vegetables. This plate is something we always get when we come here and share because you get a lot of food that is delicious! I'm impressed with the fried chicken--full of flavor! SALMON - $18.99 Citrus Herb-crusted Salmon, Creamy Mashed Potatoes, Seasonal Vegetables and Basil-infused Cream Sauce, garnished with Basil-Tomato Relish. I love that the salmon comes with a creamy sauce even though it was not dry! The crust gave it a fun texture, and I'm so glad we got this plate too. I will say, I can see why this place is so busy. You are getting really good food for a really good price considering where you are and the amount you are getting! Bravo, Disney!

Ask the Community - Plaza Inn

Can you order off a menu or is everything Buffett?

Yes, you can order off a menu for lunch and dinner. I believe breakfast is through ordering off a menu. Not sure if they have a buffet offered sometimes.

Do they serve alcohol?

No, they have to be sit down waited on restaurants...

Do they serve the Fried Chicken at 8:00 am or is it only for lunch and dinner? What are the lunch hours?

It's only lunch and dinner. They use Plaza Inn restaurant for the special breakfast with the characters. I think lunch begins after 11?

Is there any restaurant in the park that serves just good old fashioned ranch dressing? And does anybody know what types of lettuce are in the side salad? I'm allergic to iceberg. Thank you

The side salad is iceberg lettuce. The ranch at plaza inn is AMAZING. Galactic Grill has Caesar salad with romaine and I think you can get it with ranch there.

Is the patio open for the character breakfast? Or is breakfast only served indoors?

For the Character Breakfast, both indoor and outdoor is available. Let the Cast Member know your preference or they will automatically put you in an area.

Do you take reservations for 8 people saturday 10/23 dinner?

Disneyland dining reservations open up 60 days before. Use the Disneyland app to book your reservation. Reservations fill up quick.

Are they still doing breakfast buffet?

Yup same as pre-covid. Only difference is that currently characters aren't stopping for chats/photos/signatures, they are just doing a parade where they walk around while waving.

How much is breakfast buffet?

I'm seeing guests ages 11+ at $41 and 3-10 - $24.

Is there dine in yet here or only mobile app ordering?

Yes they are dining in now.

Is there breakfast buffet a thing still?

Yes, its breakfast in the park with minnie and friends. So minnie, the cast from pooh,and usually tigger and the fairy godmother

How much does it cost for an adult for the Breakfast in park?

34.00 for character dining buffet. 19 for kids. You get a discount if you have an annual pass. You need to call and make reservations. They fill up quick.

Do the characters dance?

Not at Plaza Inn but they do at Goofys Kitchen.

Does anyone know if their gravy is make with pork?

I do not know for sure but if I remember correctly there are no pork dishes on the menu. Not much help, sorry.

How is the food at Plaza Inn in DIsneyland for breakfast? Decent?

It's decent. You're definitely paying more for the character experience, but the food isn't bad. If you want a larger variety I would suggest eating breakfast elsewhere.

We finally made it to the restaurant to try Teppanyaki Grill Buffet…read more We were all surprised with the selection and variety of dishes. Unfortunately, they do not serve crab legs on the buffet stations. I called to confirm before we came so were aware of it and not expecting it. Foods were tasty and plentiful. I would say 4.5/5 because no crab legs, but everything was great. Of course, I didn't try the Mongolian grill nor the sushi station but all the cooked food was fine and my sisters and their husbands loved it.

I'm typically a "whole pizza" type of guy, but my party and I each couldn't finished two plates before feeling sick. After leaving the establishment, I felt robbed. Not only was the crabs a lie, the establishment under a Japanese pseudo name, is actually ran by the Chinese. Fortunately, it was easy to locate the exit. The vibe was off, as the food was slowly ripping my two cheeks apart. If you decide to go here, go somewhere else. If you have the courage to ignore my warnings, you should still go some where else. However, If you do somehow get forced to eat here, go somewhere else. Unless, if you have no where else to go, go somewhere else.

Yes, the price has gone up as a result, but they have way more options on par with more expensive places. On the weekend/dinner, they now have a chilled seafood section with items that aren't covered in any type of sauce including, but not limited to; raw oysters, crab legs, abalone, crawfish. They still have their steamed dungeness crab, fried crab, and craw fish boils. I don't think these updates have caught on yet because those premium items aren't attacked like donuts at a police department. At most buffets, you see people walking away with stacked plates with none left for you when you're third in line. This place usually keeps a steady supply. The only thing that sucks is the single serve ice cream. I know it's more sanitary, but soft serve and scooped ice cream would really put that place in the next tier up for Asian buffets.

The bathroom doors also have cool murals on them of a samurai for men and a lovely painting of a woman at a temple.

Since this is an all-you-can-eat restaurant, I initially expected someone to seat me, but I was simply told to find any available table and start eating. That was perfectly fine with me. The food selection included several salads, meats, and other dishes, but unfortunately, nothing really stood out. Overall, I found the food fairly average. The main reason for my two-star rating, however, was what happened when I paid. My bill was around $36.50. I paid cash with one $20 bill and four $5 bills, for a total of $40, and told the cashier to keep the change. What made me uncomfortable was that almost immediately after I handed her the money--while she was still saying "Have a good day"--she pulled out a counterfeit-detection pen and started checking my bills right in front of me. I understand that businesses may have policies for checking cash, and I have no problem with a restaurant protecting itself against counterfeit money. However, the way this was handled felt unnecessarily uncomfortable and somewhat insulting. She could easily have waited until I had stepped away before checking the bills instead of immediately testing them in front of me as soon as I handed them over. I was not rushing out of the restaurant or behaving suspiciously in any way. Of course, I have never knowingly used counterfeit money. The whole interaction simply left me feeling as though I was being treated with suspicion for no apparent reason. If checking cash is standard procedure, I can understand that. But customer service also matters, and there are more discreet ways to handle it without making a paying customer feel accused or embarrassed. Between the average food and this unpleasant experience at checkout, I can only give this restaurant two stars.

If you're familiar with the meme, "XYZ is the game of all time", then yes, this place is the Asian buffet of all OC, and not in a bad way. It's the classic affordable buffet experience standing tall amidst an otherwise declining Buena Park mall, and honestly these classic buffets are starting to get rare these days, as more stores lean towards trendy or premium themes like AYCE wagyu or AYCE premium seafood that will run you $50+ a head. And despite this place for intents and purposes checking off everything standard you can expect from an Asian buffet, there are still a couple of standouts that separate this from others around its price/quality level: - Mostly-fresh and easy to peel rock crab (especially if you get lucky with a new batch). I could do 3 plates of these by themselves - Other seafood offerings decently fresh as well (big fan of the white fish and cajun shrimp) - Multiple sashimi offerings - Plentiful AND fresh fruit options - Strangely specific but they had marinated pig ear here, yummy! - Actual ice cream as opposed to the watery soft serve machines you typically see Sure there may be some misses, but the food that's good is pretty dang good. If you're looking for the highest quality buffet food ever, you won't find it here, but if you crave the classic affordable Asian buffet experience near Knotts or Disney, this place is it.

Came here for dinner…read more Asia Buffet was very good. Many buffet stations and foods were refilled constantly so everything was very fresh. Lots of seafood if you like seafood. Many types of shrimp to choose from. No steamed crab legs but they have the fried salt & pepper crab, which was good. However, they only refilled it once every 30 mins and there was always a long line already waiting in front of the crab station. The kitchen only put out one tray each time so good luck in getting some because the first four (4) people in line pretty much took them all. LoL I was the fourth one in line and just took whatever was left on the tray, which wasn't much! But there were plenty of other choices and there's something for everyone. Restaurant was super crowded but service was good since there were many employees. Someone's review here on Yelp says it's $12.5 for lunch & couple dollars more for dinner. That's incorrect. It's $25 for weekends. Dinner price all day on the weekends, including Fridays, after 3:30 pm. Enjoy!
