Traveling to Japan can be frightening at first blush. There are many unknowns that come with traveling to a foreign country, chief among them is the food you’ll find along the way. For those that are traveling to Tokyo Disney Resort (or Japan in general), don’t worry! Most of the food throughout the country is mild and full of flavor. Tokyo Disney Resort specifically has many restaurants that offer a variety of different foods. In this post, we’ll cover our favorite places to eat in the resort’s two parks.

With Disneyland and Walt Disney World we broke down the restaurants into counter-service and table-service, then ranked all of the places we’ve dined. We’ve started to do that at Tokyo Disney Resort too (counter-service & table-service) but there is generally less time to be spent because it’s harder to get to for the majority of our readers.

Frankly, we’ve enjoyed nearly every meal we had at Tokyo Disney Resort. Choosing a few favorites was a tough task. I didn’t include Teddy Roosevelt Lounge since we didn’t love the food there but absolutely recommend stopping in for a drink. To read more about each restaurant listed below, just click on the name to get to the review. Let’s get to the list!

Magellan’s (TDS)

We’ll start with the crown jewel of Tokyo Disney Resort’s dining. Magellan’s is a table-service restaurant at the base of Mount Prometheus, DisneySea’s icon. The restaurant is marvelously themed and absolutely beautiful. On top of that, the food is excellent and usually at a decent price. Magellan’s is the best themed Disney restaurant that I’ve been to and is an essential experience at DisneySea.

China Voyager (TDL)

Tokyo Disneyland has an excellent array of counter-service restaurants, my favorite of which is China Voyager. The restaurant serves a variety of ramen dishes as well as a few other options. Along with the delicious and affordable food, the details throughout the restaurant are great. China Voyager is in a boathouse and has a fun backstory. Even though the restaurant gets very busy, it feels intimate and has a variety of rooms to sit in.

Vulcania (TDS)

Sticking with the counter-service restaurants, Vulcania has best atmosphere of any quick-service Disney restaurant. Vulcania sits inside of DisneySea’s icon, Mount Prometheus. The rock work is gorgeous, the restaurant lights flicker and it sounds like Vulcania rumbles from time to time. As far as the food goes, you can get delicious Chinese food here. The options are, again, very affordable and delicious. Come for the atmosphere, stay for the food.

Hungry Bear Restaurant (TDL)

Hungry Bear Restaurant in Tokyo Disneyland’s Westernland sits right beside Country Bear Jamboree and pays homage to the attraction. That alone gets it on this list. There are several different rooms to eat in, each with fun details to explore. Hungry Bear serves Japanese Curry, which is very mild and similar to a stew. I thoroughly enjoyed the Hungry Bear Curry and thought it was a great way to try something new.

Ristorante di Canaletto (TDS)

Back to a table-service restaurant, Ristorante di Canaletto resides in DisneySea’s Mediterranean Harbor. If outdoor seating is open, we recommend that as the view looking over the canal is incredible. Eating inside is far from a disappointment though, Ristorante di Canaletto is beautiful with high ceilings and gorgeous murals. The restaurant serves Italian food, specializing in pizza and pasta. We enjoyed the meal, found it affordable and a beautiful place to eat.

Captain Hook’s Galley (TDL)

My favorite place to get a snack or a light meal at Tokyo Disney Resort is Captain Hook’s Galley which serves pizza, more specifically, Seafood Pizza. It may sound odd but it’s absolutely delicious. The pizza has a standard crust and red sauce but there’s a variety of seafood on top of the melted cheese. It’s a unique and delicious snack at a low cost. Captain Hook’s Galley itself isn’t a great setting like everywhere else on this list but the food is fantastic and a fun snack to try.

Restaurant Sakura (TDS)

This table-service restaurant at DisneySea flew under the radar for us but ended up being one of our favorite meals during our latest trip to Tokyo Disney Resort. In the American Waterfront, this restaurant serves traditional Japanese seafood including tempura and pork cutlets. There’s an emphasis on seafood here. Restaurant Sakura executes its theme well, being a restaurant in America run by Japanese immigrants. That said, the real move here is to eat outside while overlooking the beautiful park. Restaurant Sakura is currently our favorite restaurant at Tokyo Disney Resort.

Casbah Food Court (TDS)

This restaurant inside of DisneySea’s Arabian Coast has a few different Japanese Curry options. They’re savory and filling for a great value! Casbah Food Court also has a few beautiful seating areas and furthers the theme of the immaculate Arabian Coast. It’s hard to find a better quick-service restaurant!

Royal Banquet Hall of Arendelle

The newest restaurant at Tokyo DisneySea is one of the best! Themed to Anna & Elsa’s castle, Banquet Hall is stunning with an interesting menu featuring savory pies. There are a number of rooms to choose to sit in and each of them are detailed and have grandeur. This is the best spot to eat in Fantasy Springs!

There are several other restaurants I could include in this list. Zambini Brothers Ristorante (TDS) and Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall (TDL) are both great choices for different reasons. Both the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel and Hotel MiraCosta offer a variety of options, as well as Ikspiari. All in all, there are a number of quality dining choices at both Tokyo Disney Parks.
