Disney Food and Wine Festival 2012, Epcot Center

Welcome to Go Gin Chow restaurant reviews. This is the food ninja. I have a great nice little number that is great for the whole family. Not only does it provide great food but it will keep the kids entertained as well and it is called the Food and Wine Festival in Epcot in Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. This event has many attractions and little shows that will peek your interest and make you begging for more. Especially some of the food, not all, but most. You also have to be careful. They can be pretty pricey, so budget correctly this way you can enjoy  the park and the little events that go on during this day. Each country offers some home-style comfort food that will grab your attention for sure and make sure you show up early cause these lines could be long. So if you want to try  most of these tasty little dishes, you have to be early, just a heads up ok? Anyways, this a hit and not a miss, so definitely try to schedule in this grand event and prepare financially and plan the day, then for sure you will have a perfect day of good food, good spirits and good memories to tell your friends. So take it from the food ninja please enjoy.

Wolfgang Puck Cafe, Downtown Disney

Welcome from the food ninja for go gin chow restaurant reviews. My take on Wolfgang  Puck Cafe in Downtown Disney, what a place. Great decor, hip and up to date.  Has a family feel, but an open floor place. All i could say was whoa.  The service was great they were attentive and polite and the food great and delicious also filling me. Had the calamari for an appetizer that was addictive. When you started, it was hard to stop and the sushi was as good as it looked and it looked great. Then we had a pizza called the spicy shrimp pizza. Me and my brother wished it could of been bigger cause it was so good, it was a teaser. The sangria was nice and fruity but needed a little more pick me up. This visit was nothing short of fantastic. The prices were up there, but if you have the cash I would  definitely splurge it there. You wont be disappointed and it was not out there as far as prices go, but it is up there. So take it from the food ninja please check this place out and enjoy!

Greetings this is Shadow.  Very lively place in Downtown Disney.  This place can get quite packed on weekends.  Modern, stylized interior, you will definitely get service with a smile, which should be expected from Disney.  Menu is simple and some items can be pricy.  The calamari was not bad, crispy batter with a slight spicy kick.  From the sushi menu we ordered the Big Kahuna Roll, which was a spicy tuna roll topped with tuna.  Fish was very fresh and the roll had nice flavors, surprisingly this roll tasted even better when dipped in soy sauce and wasabi, this really seemed to enhance the flavors well.  The Pizza here was definitely gourmet pizza.  Ordered the spicy shrimp pizza - thin crust pizza topped with jumbo tiger prawns, zucchini, roasted eggplant, garlic, basil and olives.  Very unique and complex in flavors and textures.  Only complaint was that crust was slightly burnt on one side, unacceptable from a place as prestigious as Wolfgang Puck's.   Still, was quite happy overall.  So if you feel like spoiling yourself a little with a gourmet dining experience, be sure to give this place a try.  Happy Eating!
