Had dinner here with a group of friends. Food was great - especially the kalamata olive flat bread! Prices were steep, but what you would expect at a Disney Resort. Staff was very friendly and very prompt. more

I have dined before at Jiko and it's always a pleasure to return! I highly recommend the filet mignon, braised short ribs and Ostrich appetizer. The filet was melt-in-your-mouth fantastic. I also enjoy the fine African wine selection. I used to purchase a few bottles of my favorite in the AKL gift shop but was disappointed to see that they... more

I travel a bit and I've only eaten at one other restaurant that was in the same league. The food is wonderful!!! The atmosphere is sophisticated, and the staff doesn't look down their nose at you for arriving in clothes you've spent all day in walking through an amusement park. I know what I looked like, and they made me... more

Fantastic Experience. Jiko is really a great place to eat in the Disney area. We booked directly with disney and opted for their Dining Plan and gave up two Table Service Meals each to eat at this restaurant. It was easily worth it! Fantastic food! Authentic decor! Friendly Staff! What more can I say? more

We decided to try Jiko instead of Boma since we upgraded to the deluxe dining plan and had more dining credits. This restaurant was one of the reason we upgraded. We arrived and checked in. We had a look... more

My husband and I were adventurous and sat at the stools at the counter overlooking the ovens and watched the chefs prepare the appetizers. This in itself made the meal worth while. It was truly amazing. The meals were fabulous, the service excellent. It was the most relaxed and enjoyable meal we had at WDW. Jiko's is a place to... more

We are more adventerous in our dining experiences and tired the Ostrich appitizer. Thoroughly enjoyed this sweat and not gaming delight. My wife tried the filet mignion and I had the lamb. The filet was magnificently done, however, the lamb meat was not up to par, being a toughter cut of lamb. I will try this restaurant again, as there... more

Jiko's is fine dining at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. We had dinner there after taking the Safari at the Lodge which includes the dinner. The assortment and display of the dinner was one of the most beautiful dinners I had been to in a very long time. From appetizer to dessert, and three glasses of different wines, who could complain.... more
