Captain Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort recently underwent some menu changes, so we decided to head on over last night and check it out for ourselves.
New Menu at Captain Cook’s
New, but not in this review is the seared chicken breast.
Fish Tacos ($9.29)
Before you even say anything, yes, we should have got the chips as a side but someone forgot to ask… anyway, these were surprisingly good. The two tacos are of a good size and heavily doused in the chipotle lime cream, which is a good thing. Everything about these was fresh and delicious, well, except for the awful Disney counter service fries which we should have not ordered.
Pork Fried Rice ($8.99)
A good price for a lot of food. The pork was very well prepared and very tender, the rice however was a little overdone but still tasted fine. This is a really good option, but I saw another reviewer call this their favorite quick service item at Walt Disney World, which to me seems like a bit much. It’s solid overall, not great though.
Pan Asian Noodles and Vegetables with Shrimp ($10.99)
If you enjoy the delicious noodles upstairs at Ohana, this may be a good substitute for when you can’t go there. You can chose to add shrimp or chicken for an added charge, we chose shrimp. Overall it was a very good and a nice sized portion.
Curried Seafood Stew ($13.99)
This was a weird dish, but I ended up eating all of it so I think I enjoyed it. There is a fair amount of seafood in here for a counter service dish, and the rice gets thoroughly soaked in the curry sauce which has a really good flavor to it which is not very spicy. While I would have enjoyed more spice, the dish was good as is and likely something I would order again.
Overall, these are great additions to the menu which are all solid options and fit the theme of the hotel nicely. Unique offerings are always a plus and these are very unique options for an already stellar counter service restaurant.
OVERALL SCORE FOR CAPTAIN COOK’S – 6.5 OUT OF 7
You might want to proofread because you have a few errors in this post and the MK post you just did. Love your site though!
Jacky, are you new to reading Disney Blogs?
These are not books, we kind of don’t worry about small mistakes.
No, I’m not new to reading blogs. I read a lot of other Disney blogs which don’t have errors though. Guess when you are in hurry to post so much you don’t have time to proofread. Not my blog though so I don’t care.
Tom, clear photos, thank you, but boy o boy, most of that doesn’t look very appetizing. Looks like our local mall food court isn’t so bad after all :/ At least it’s not super pricy for Disney as you point out, which is unusual.
