Counter Service at EPCOT
What are your favorite counter service locations and why?
We are going to spend the day at EPCOT and want to try counter service for lunch and dinner instead of table service. We like food from all cultures and we are not picky eaters. So, let me hear your thoughts on this.

Hands down, Sunshine Seasons in The Land is probably one of the best, if not the best, CS in all of WDW! Variety and quality are second to none in my opinion.
After that, if you like unique tastes, we love the sandwiches at the bakery in Norway.

I agree that Sunshine Seasons is probably the best. After that, we like the Yakitori house in Japan. Nice atmosphere, and good food. Lastly, we like the Electric Umbrella. I know, I know...very typical food, but the atmosphere says "1980's Epcot" like nowhere else :-)

Tangerine Cafe and the Fish and Chips stand are our favorites. We also used to like the CS in Mexico, but we haven't tried it since the redo.

Second this!! Am NEVER disappointed with the food or the variety here!
Other than that, we are rather peckish people so we walk from country to country tasting little things everywhere... As far as my tastes are concerned, it's ALL good

Thanks for the replies, keep 'em coming. I am thinking of trying Tangerine and maybe Norway. It looks like we will probably have lunch at Sunshine Seasons.

Sunshine Seasons in The Land - Excellent selection. Everyone can get something that suits their individual tastes. Also great desert selection.
Yakitori House in Japan - Excellent Chicken & Rice. Great outdoor seating. Very plesant.
Yorkshire County Fish Shop in United Kingdom - Fish & Chips is the only selection, but it is good. Limited seating at times.

Sunshine Seasons in the land is good, but I always have a hard time choosing that with World Showcase so close. Too many good choices at Epcot! I love Tangierine Cafe in Morocco, Yakitori House in Japan. Sometimes you want to go French and grab something at the Boulangerie/Patisserie. Haven't tried the new Mexico QS but loved the old one and have heard it's good.

Sunshine Seasons for lunch would be my vote. We too eat here while waiting for Soarin' FP time.
For the rest of our Epcot day, we usually eat around the world tasting and sampling here and there. We find ourselves at Yakatori house more times than anywhere else. We frequent Tangerine cafe. But, we sip and bite all over the place. Walking around the WS lends itself to walking and eating instead of sitting for a 'sit down meal' no matter if TS or QS.
We especially buy into that 'food for thought' during F&W festival.

That's a great question. There are so many great TS restaurants in Epcot that I don't often get counter service, but the few times I have, I've enjoyed it!
Last trip we finally tried Sunshine Seasons, and thought it was a great place for a quick dinner near the end of our Epcot visit! Good variety and fresh food, and I got to eat with chopsticks, so that made me happy.
Last year we also ate lunch at the Lotus Blossom Cafe and I thought it was very good. I should say, however, that the menu is very limited. They only had two appetizers and six entrees to choose from, and the kids menu consisted of just sweet and sour chicken. Everything came with steamed rice, no fired option. My kids didn't like the chicken, but we got them a second order of rice and dumplings to make up for it. I liked the orange chicken I had, but the Chinese food vendor in my local mall has far more menu variety than this. Again, I still would give it a positive review for food quality.

Check out Boulangerie Patisserie in France. They have sandwiches and quiche in addition to fab dessets. Well worth the visit.

Another vote for Sunshine Seasons. IMHO this is the best CS in all of WDW. Excellent selection and vastly superior to the normal CS expectation of burger and chicken strips (neither of which will be found at Sunshine Seasons). If you're going for lunch, they have some very good homemade soups, which you can pair with a half sandwich. Salads are good too.
If you go to Epcot first thing in the morning, and want an actual breakfast, Sunshine Seasons is your only option - and again they have great choices. We typically ride Soarin', grab a fastpass (which is usually about an hour out), enjoy breakfast at Sunshine Seasons and then use our fastpass for Soarin'. Great way to start the day at Epcot.
My other personal favorites are the Fish and Chips in England as well as the counter service in Mexico.

Easy choice. Tangeriene Cafe in Morocco. The food is great and the dessert is even better.

Mmmm. Just had a yummy grilled chicken asian pasta salad from Sunshine Seasons. Delicious and no wait b/c it was in the help-yourself fridges. Enjoy!!!

This last June we had sunshine for breakfast and it was very good. Maybe better than POFQ for breakfast.
My wife and I really enjoyed China. I love pot stickers and theirs were very tasty (of course that was nine yrs ago.).
Also very good for standard fare at lunck and dinner would be the Electric Umbrella.
