We just had the best dinner here. We both had the chicken fried rice. We also ordered the passion fruit margarita. So so good. And our server was amazing. I wish I got her name. If you are staying at the Royal Pacific resort at universal. I highly recommend this place. If you was able to give more then 5 stars I would. Love this place. Can't wait to eat breakfast on the morning.

My husband and I tried the Island's Dining Room at the Royal Pacific Resort for the breakfast buffet. We had never visited the resort before, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The restaurant was clean, classy, calming and lovely. The staff was personable, friendly and engaging. The selection on the buffet was vast. We especially enjoyed the hot cinnamon rolls, the tres leches overnight oats, the omelet station and all the fresh fruit! Shout out to Kannita who took great care of us (and everyone else around us!).

First time here, and the food (General Tsao chicken and Panang Chicken curry) were delicious, as was the peanut salad. We were also gifted a hummus and white bean appetizer which was very good.

The newly remodeled restaurant (October 2025) looks and feels very different than its previous incarnation, for the better. It now feels and is higher quality in every way, from the food, to the service received. I would recommend eating here for anyone staying in the resort or in the area.

WOW this place was impressive! From the newly-remodeled decor, to the service, to the delicious food, it was an excellent experience from start to finish! Our server, Franz, knew that menu backwards and forwards. He told us everything was good (spoiler: he was right!), but recommended a few key dishes to try!
We ended up having the lumpia, Thai chicken lettuce wraps, steak lo mein, pork pho, and ube flan. EVERYTHING was sooo yummy and definitely items we would order againg, if we didn’t want to try the rest of the menu that is. My husband fell in love with the ube flan! He wanted to go back again our next day for it! Franz gifted me a glass of wine for my birthday which was so sweet!
Overall this was a wonderful restaurant and we can’t wait to come back!

Had a fantastic dinner here and everyone in our family was able to find something on the menu that was delish! We mentioned that our daughter was hoping to go to the sushi restaurant upstairs, and our waiter, Frans, immediately offered to let her order off the menu from their sushi restaurant. He was super sweet, accommodating and knowledgeable of the different menu items. For starters, we really enjoyed the chicken lettuce wraps that had the perfect level of heat. They brought out a unique and tasty amuse bouche that was a white bean hummus with shrimp chips. My husband ordered the snapper for his entree and loved it. I had the panang curry with fried rice and it was super tasty with a great spice level. 🫶🫶🫶

The Asian inspired menu provided many delicious choices for dinner. The Brisket Pho did not disappoint. I would definitely get it again. Michelle told great care of our party of 12.

The whole restaurant has been revamped and the food is amazing now. The ribeye in particular was the best I’ve ever had in Florida. Beats out Big Fire by a large margin. Service was great and food came out quick and hot. Will probably end up eating here multiple times in one trip.
I really enjoyed the food and selection was amazing. I has the curry really filling and they give you lots of meat. If you can go on a fri or sat because of the buffet and it's great value. If you are staying at the hotel connected, would highly recommend. Dinner can be $$$ depending on what you order.
Avoid this place. My husband and I are younger (23&24) so not the first time we have experienced terrible service because of this. They will service the family of 4 next to us perfect while we get mediocre service. Food was awful, miso soup is a joke, it tastes incredibly cheap while you’re paying close to $100 for 2 people. Will not be back

It’s one of if not the best place to have Asian cuisine. The Mongolian beef is by far the best I ever had. My wife and I went 5 years ago and both were dreaming of getting it again. We just got back and both the food and the staff didn’t disappoint. Give the restaurant a shot it’s worth it!!

Who is writing these reviews?? The breakfast buffet was pretty bad. The eggs were like in a cafeteria/hospital and the bacon were overdone. The omelet station is ok but there wasn’t always an attendant there. Definitely not worth it.
The room service breakfast we tried was mediocre at best. Even the Tahitian French toast was really soggy.
We tried to come for dinner but it was really dirty and we just gave up and went somewhere else.

I was a little concerned after reading some reviews, but after a long day, we decided to stop here for dinner. We ordered the Mongolian Beef and Chicken Fried Rice. Both were edible, but we didn’t enjoy them as much as we had hoped.
When the bill arrived, I noticed that the amount on the slip was higher than expected, appearing to include a 30% tip. I mentioned this to our waiter, who clarified that it was not an automatic tip but rather a mistake on her part. She corrected it promptly. I recommend being attentive to the bill amounts.
Overall, while the food didn’t wow us, the service was friendly and accommodating, making it a decent option for a casual dinner.
