Javier Carretero
Food was great! Flavors were fantastic. Service? Perfection! Right after we were seated, we were given hot towels for our hands. Our server stood there the time it took us while explaining the history of Jiko. Atmosphere was calmed and we were not rushed. Only one observation, this is a Signature Dining location with a dress code that is mentioned on the website but upon entrance, that dress code was apparently not enforced. Several guests arrived directly from a park with the same clothing. That detail did not impact our experience which was excellent.

Service and food were great. The best steak I’ve ever had in my entire life. Well my boyfriend got it and I ate a lot of his. In my opinion the fish was great but not something I’d get again. My boyfriend disagrees and thinks the fish was spectacular. The scallop appetizer was very good too. When I return in the future I will definitely be getting the steak!!

Evan Sumners
What! No way. Yep it’s that good. Mac and Cheese Lamb Shank, Flat Bread, and Chicken all phenomenally prepared. Don’t sleep on this restaurant, get the reservation and be open to new flavors. I will be back! Kelley from NY did a great job

This meal was worth every dime, the food was fresh, the wine was unique, and the presentation and service was phenomenal. I highly recommend exploring some South African wines and asking your servers what to pair with them!

This restaurant offers some unique offerings that you won’t find at other Disney restaurants or even other restaurants in the area. All of the food was excellent and our service met the expected level of friendliness when dining at Disney World.

This dining experience was so good I felt obligated to leave a review. The food was outstanding, presented well, and was a joy to eat. Drinks were varied and delicious. Excellent whiskey and wine selections. Apps and deserts were amazing as well. Waiter’s recommendations and menu knowledge was spot on. If this restaurant was near me I would be a regular. If you see this, Thank you Tayler!

Had a really great first experience at Jiko. Has to be one of the best on Disney property. Service was great. Short rib was really good. Filet has to be one of the best if not the best on Disney property. Kids enjoyed pizza and Mac and cheese.

Ate the scallop app, fish entree, and Kilimanjaro dessert. Absolutely delicious! Service was on the slower side (took two hours). Very kid friendly.
