I much prefer 'Ohana. I had a bad experience at Kona with food and service and I'm not in a rush to go back. 'Ohana is fun with great atmosphere and good food. Though Kona has a lot of fans, so I probably hit it on a disastrous night.

Kona is one of our favorites. It's a must do every trip. We have never had a bad meal there. I enjoy O'hana also. My best advice would be to study the menu of both places.

I'm also interested in people's responses as we have the same decision to make. I have eaten at O'Hana's and really enjoyed it . . . but one of my best friends ate at Kona and raved about it . . . DH hasn't eaten at either. Until swayed otherwise I think we will do O'Hanas for dinner and maybe hit Kona for some Tonga toast one morning!

It depends on what you're wanting from the meal.
If you're with a bunch of friends want good food but are more about the fun and experience together than fine dining, then 'Ohana is your choice. It's particularly fun and memorable if you plan you ADR so that you're seated when Wishes (or better yet, Hallowishes) starts.
On the other hand, if you want a more intimate dinner with more choices a quieter atmosphere and better food (imho) then you should opt for Kona. As far as I'm concerned, Kona is one of the best kept secrets in the World for dinner. We have always had excellent food and service at Kona.
Enjoy!

Thanks to all for your answers!
I feel, and it is only a guess, that food at Kona is better but, at the same time, we are traveling with our kids ages 9, 7 and 11 months.
I think me and my wife would enjoy more eating at Kona but I think everybody would enjoy better 'Ohana. Not for the food but for the ambience.
That's the decision I have to make.
-
You're making the right choice. 'Ohana is hands down our favorite at WDW.
Kona... ew. They tried to make the food fancy, but it was just icky. Horrible, horrible service. It will be a very long time before we try it again, if ever.
I readily admit to being a WDW food snob, though I don't think I'm a food snob IRL. We just haven't been particularly thrilled with any of the sit-downs at WDW with the exception of 'Ohana. It's fun and the food is great. Well, the meat isn't (but I don't really like meat) but everything else is wonderful!

OK
I made up my mind. I made my research and my decision is that we are going to eat at 'Ohana.
There may be better places where the food is fancier but I think the kids will enjoy very much what 'Ohana has to offer.
Thanks to all for your help.

Ohana's is a no-brainer. Especially with kids. The service at Kona Cafe has been exceptionally slow the past few times we ate there. Whether it's breakfast, or dinner.
The variety of food at Ohana's can't be beat by a single entree at Kona IMO.
With kids that age, maybe consider Crystal Palace or Chef Mickey's. Cape May is another spot the both you and your kids will enjoy(no characters like Ohana).

Glad to hear all the wonderful reviews of O'hanas- this is on of list of places to try this Sept.

seems 'Ohana is winning....and it's my vote as well.. never been to Kona so i can't say anything good or bad.
but 'Ohana wasn't just our best meal at Disney.
It might have been my best meal ever....
I loved the atmosphere, the food, salad, bread...it was all fantastic. one advice. See if you can get a window seat....we got there at 4pm, when it first opened... Our seat was right by the window, we could see the castle in the distance...it was the night of Mickey's Christmas party, so even though it was 4, it was turning colors for christmas....great meal and view.

I've been to both, if you have not done either, Ohana is a must do experience. I have gone there everytime we have been to WDW and it was not until our third trip that we got around to trying Kona. No to knock Kona, but Ohana dining is special.
