This was the best quick service meal we had at Disney. It's located in Pandora in the Animal Kingdom.
There was plenty of seating, a care towards protecting the environment (no plastic, lots of recycling bins) which seemed on theme for Pandora, and beautiful decor.
The person who helped us order was AMAZING. She patiently and thoroughly explained the menu and gave us some great recommendations.
We built our own bowls and I was SHOCKED at how good the food was.
We will definitely return!
Fantastic place to eat. I love getting the ocean moon bowl with the kiwi margarita. My wife gets the beef bowl with the creamed herb sauce. We make sure to eat lunch here every time we come to Animal Kingdom.
Great sit down fast stop in the Pandora area. The smoked chicken, beans, and rice were what seemed to be a healthier alternative to the typical quick stop theme park food. Bonus was refillable fountain drinks and good air conditioning.
First time here and we will come back. The 3 of us loved our meals. I had the shrimp noodle bowl.
My only negative comment has to do with takeout. We wanted to take our 3 meals and join up with the rest of our party to eat lunch. They put our meals in glass dishes, we then needed to stop and get takeout containers and transfer the food over and then there was no plastic utensils. We “borrowed” 3 forks and then left them at the pizza restaurant. maybe they should rethink that.
There are not many quick service places in Animal Kingdom, but there’s this one, and it’s very good. I found online that the cheeseburger bao buns are great value, and so this was a place I had been looking forward to. To say the least, those buns were fantastic. I thought when we ordered them that they’d just be slapped together, but its presentation is awesome, and comes with coleslaw and a chip mix. A very colourful dish, in a beautiful looking restaurant!
The absolute BEST quick service restaurant at Animal Kingdom, and possibly all of WDW. I love the bowls, and the desserts are always great. It’s such a welcome change from the usual theme park fare, and is presented in a very pleasant atmosphere with great background music. The cast members are also great here and will always offer to take your finished trays off your hands with a smile.
I will note, it’s expensive. But that really goes for all of WDW. So… not much you can do with that.
Satu’Li is an Avatar inspired restaurant in the pandora area of Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park. First you pick the type of protein you want. They offer beef with a chimichurri sauce, chicken, and a shrimp option. You choose between noodles, sweet potato hash, or a black bean base. There are three different sauces or toppings to pick from. I chose the combo bowl with beef and chicken served over noodles with the garlic herb sauce and as usual it didn’t disappoint. We have been to Satu’Li many times and I have tried many different combinations and they are delicious every time. It’s a decent sized helping so you shouldn’t leave hungry. They also serve a green beer in honor of the pandora experience. The dessert pictured is a chocolate mouse-like dessert with a raspberry center. It was smooth and delicious. This is one of my favorite quick service options in all of Disney world.

There are many places to eat at Disney, but here it's great for me cause it feels like a better choice than just your classic burger options and you don't have to wait for an hour to get inside. It's very ready with mobile ordering, there is plenty of outdoor seating and the food isn't as expensive as many other places. The quality of the food, the atmosphere and the fast service is what makes this a 5 star experience for me. When we visit animal kingdom it's often a place we consider going to.. especially when the wait for other places may be over an hour.
Best mobile order meal at Disney!!!! Really, Satuli is a family favorite with variety of options including smoked chimichurri beef, chicken or Tuna poke. Noodles, rice or Salad. You can’t go wrong.
If you have a sweet tooth I highly recommend the blueberry cream cheese mousse. This has a least 7 different layers of ingredients (cake, blueberry, lemon curd, raspberry, matcha chocolate….).
For beer the Three Daughters beach blonde is refreshing and Elysian space dust delicious.
Enjoy

🌲Favorite Place to Eat at Animal Kingdom🌲
Every time I visit Animal Kingdom, I look forward to eating at Satu'li Canteen. Located next to Flight of Passage and the breath-taking Avatar land, Satu'li Canteen looks, smells, and tastes amazing. The inside resembles a museum-turned-restaurant, with curated artifacts, a high-ceiling roof, lots of Avatar Easter Eggs to the keen-eyed, and delicious food to make the stop worthwhile. While you dine, inspiring music from the film pipes through the speakers overhead.
I'm a big fan of Asian-themed food, and happily found plenty of build-a-bowl, noodle-based goodness here. The Chopped Wood-Grilled Chicken Bowl is my go-to. There are also plenty of options considerate of allergies, as well as a plant-based bowl.
Don't skip the desserts! I won't spoil them here, but just prepare yourself for a variety of taste, texture, and sweetness. They're as lovely to look at as they are to eat. If you're going to splurge at a Disney restaurant, choose this one.
Ride Flight of Passage first, then stop here for lunch. You can't beat that combination!
Nov 2023 - Edit to add. Visited Satu'li again on our last WDW vacation. Still so great and unusual options. I had a variation on the dish I had before, with different protein and a noodle base instead of the rice. I may like the rice better, but the noodles were fine. The husband tried and liked the (new to us) tuna dish (Ocean Moon Bowl). We tried the cheeseburger pods that are so popular. They were great, I think I would have liked a touch more ketchup and mustard, and pickle. The desserts are top notch and the drinks are still refillable!
Oct 2021 Great quick service and the elusive refillable sodas! Food very good and atmosphere very cool! Not too busy when we visited, easy to navigate with food and kids in tow. Staff was lovely and brought us free desert! Loved this place!
Staff was super friendly, patient, and helpful. They have really creative dishes that were tasty. I was hesitant with the ocean moon bowl but was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. Had the cheese burger pods that tasted like cheese burger but was really doughy for me. But it was nice experience while at the park.
Very surprising quality for theme park food. I was very impressed with how delicious and well portioned the food was. I thought it was worth the price although it was $15-20 per bowl depending on protein. The kiwi margarita was great as well except for the fruit on top which wasn’t ripe (as it’s not in season)

On this account I review places I go with my service dog, Barbie. Today I took her to Satuli for the first time. This is one of my favorite quicker dining options on all property. It’s scrumptious! The food is always fresh, it’s cool inside, clean and the food isn’t like something i can find somewhere else. The ambiance is very fun too. I get the tofu and it’s always crisped to perfection!
Incredible place to eat at Animal Kingdom! Right outside the Flight of Passage ride, it offers a great selection of protein bowls with delicious sauces and bases.
Would recommend the green onion vinaigrette if you build your own. Otherwise, the Ocean Moon is worth it.
Try their desserts too! Their Metkayina Mousse has a beautiful purple sheen that is picturesque.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Satu'li Canteen, and I simply cannot stop raving about their cheeseburger steamed pods! The restaurant's ambiance, inspired by Pandora – The World of Avatar, sets the stage for a truly unique dining experience. But the real star of the show was the delectable cheeseburger steamed pods.
At first glance, the pods are a visual feast, with their vibrant white exteriors and intricate patterns. But it's not just about the looks; the taste is truly out of this world. The soft and pillowy steamed buns encapsulate a mouthwatering mixture of seasoned ground beef, gooey cheese, and just the right amount of tangy sauce. The combination of flavors and textures creates an utterly satisfying and memorable culinary experience.
The service at Satu'li Canteen was top-notch as well. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, ensuring that my dining experience was seamless from start to finish. They were more than happy to discuss the unique dishes on the menu and accommodate any special requests.
The cheeseburger steamed pods are definitely not to be missed, and I highly recommend giving them a try when you visit Satu'li Canteen. The entire experience will transport you to a different world, both in terms of the immersive atmosphere and the innovative, delightful dishes that await you. I am already looking forward to my next visit!
Delicious food, by far the best in Animal Kingdom. The mobile ordering system works very well and also allows for little to no wait, depending on how you time it. All the bowls were creative and well prepared. However, we were really looking forward to the Cheeseburger Bao Buns which did not hit the spot. But, the vegetable chips were amazing!! Great plant-based option as well.
Love this place, it's your chance to get something unique and not just regular theme park food. We ordered a couple things and just shared it and it was more than enough for the 2 of us.
