I didn't find as many savoury snacks as I thought so had to force myself to eat these

George V Ohana part III:

A meal I was nervous about.

We arrived at the Polynesian pretty early so we could have a good look around. Such a nice Resort but not sure I'd like the amount of people milling around. It's like a train station.

While waiting in the lobby we were approached by a lady asking us if we'd like to be the family to open the fire welcome ceremony. More in the trip report when I get to it(I'm on day 4 and this is day 20 so while away yet!) We basically had to stand in front of everyone and when given the que we had to say Aloha! More pics as well in the main trip report when I get to it. I'm the one on the right of the photo if your not sure





So next to the meal. 3rd time and the other two have been disasters due to grumpy kids or a grumpy in law Its never the food that's why we're back again hoping for a different result. We checked in and only had a short wait which was unusual.

Server introduced himself but wasn't great to be honest apart from doing one thing later on. Our table was better though, not off to the side like on previous visits.

If your not sure it's buffet served family style with food brought to you.

Mixed Greens Salad with a Lilikoi dressing
‘Ohana Pineapple-Coconut Bread
Honey-Coriander Chicken Wings
served with Peanut and Sweet-n-Sour Sauces
Pork Dumplings tossed in Garlic-Ginger Sauce
served with Peanut and Sweet-n-Sour Sauces
Spicy Grilled Peel-n-Eat Shrimp
prepared over an oak fire, served on Skewers with Peanut and Sweet-n-Sour Sauces
Sweet-n-Sour Chicken
prepared over an oak fire, served on Skewers with Peanut and Sweet-n-Sour Sauces
Szechuan Sirloin Steak
prepared over an oak fire, served on Skewers with Peanut and Sweet-n-Sour Sauces
Noodles, tossed in a Teriyaki Sauce with Fresh Vegetables
Stir-fried Vegetables

So on with the food pictures which I'm sure you haven't seen before

Pineapple bread. Nice



Salad. Nice



Noodles, broccoli, pot stickers, chicken wings. Nice.



Then came the lovely meat. Chicken, steak and shrimp. It was all lovely. I really enjoyed the steak.



Bit of an issue though. The server came around once with each meat then didn't appear again for AGES. I really wanted more but when he did eventually come it felt like the boat had gone.

Next issue. Lily stated moaning about the food. The server, and this was the only good thing he did brought her some Mac and cheese which she barley touched.



Entertainment was going on around the table and it was nice to be around it which weren't before being off to the side on our previous visits.

Dessert was the Ohana bread pudding with banana caramel sauce was great again. The girls had a birthday cake each as well which was nice.





Now here wheres the meal ended for us. Lily decided now to dry heave at the table and nearly threw up at the table into a napkin! The horrified look of a lady at the table next to us will haunt me forever! Kelly rushed her to the toilet. I quickly settled the check. We at least got to eat this time although not as much as I'd have liked.

Food is great but that's my lot with Ohana I think we're destined not to have a meal without incident here

Oh no So sad you've had another let down at 'Ohana.

We loved Ohana on our last trip, I just hope it lives up to the memories!

Oh no, but O'hana means family and it also means that said family need to eat without incident and allow you to enjoy. Such a shame, one of if, not the favourite place for us to eat.

Eek! I was so hoping this visit to Ohana would be great after your previous 2 visits. At least it was somewhat better. Poor lily sure she was mortified. Oh we love Crystal Palace too despite the boys being grown up (legally not mentally!). Tigger is always a good character interaction.
