Bowsers meatball was very delicious, its puff pastry was delicious and so was the salsa on the side. Mario's burger was an average burger and was cold. Tomato soup was very bad and had a very strange taste to it. Also, the only way we were able
Just don't do it.
Find someplace else. It's not worth the money. There are better options in the park. Flagging this location as especially not suitable for vegans or vegetarians - not only because of lack of options but because when you spend $17 on a Beyond/Imp
First timer here at toads cafe since it opened.
We were so excited to see the interior but also try the food. My bf got the SuperStar Chicken Salad for $14.99 and I got the Bowers Fireball Challenge for 24.99. The portions were not worth the price, but I guess because I also got to get the souveni
Well your definitely going for the ambiance here.
Toadstool Cafe is super themed out. As soon as you enter the screens, chairs, menu, staff, etc. are all Toadstool approved. Which makes coming here a fun experience. Ive come a couple of times now, and the food was just meh. The Mario Burger has b

Food was ok for being a theme park option, nice presentation but not warm enough. Service was horrible, over 30 minutes waiting for food. We spilt our drink and employees didn't know how to handle a spill. I had to clean it up myself. No restro
Went for my birthday.
It is very cute. I love the vibe inside. The food is pretty basic but you go here for the vibe. The one downer is the lady that was in charge of verifying reservations at the front. We walked over 5 mins till our reservation time to wait. And asked

Creative and entertaining food spot! My girl and I went here to experience the whole Nintendo Land vibe. We rushed over here in the morning just to reserved out spot cause this place gets crazy in the afternoon. Thankfully, the reserved spot was a su

Food was excellent got the Mario burger , the waiting was not the best, even with a reservation, we waited for an hour in line to get to the counter to order, when we were finally seated we sat down at 4:40 we waited until 5:30 to ask what the wait w

If you're the type of person who likes to read reviews before they eat there, let me tell you--DO NOT EAT HERE. The building, vibe, and decor is cute, but BE WARNED you will wait 45+ minutes for food that is COLD and NOT WORTH IT. We were liter
Not sure why the rating is so low.
For these kinds of places, you really go for the vibe and the pictures. But the drink and food were pretty good and the prices weren't too bad. You even get to keep the toad bowl/cap when you get the soup, and they provide a cute '?' b

Great food, I ordered the Yoshi fettuccine Alfredo and that was great. The only thing that was bad was the wait for the food. It took about 35 minutes to get my food. The design was great, sometimes it would do some storm thing with bowser shooting b

Well... I'd like to review the food but it still hasn't come. Reservations at 5:00. Ordered food at 5:17, waited in line to be seated for 15 more minutes. It's now 5:55 and we've been just sitting waiting for our food. Floor is a
We had a reservation, but that doesn't guarantee a seat .
After you order , you have to go in a line to get seated even if you already have a reservation. The food takes around 40-50 minutes to get to you and the food is cold . I would give it a zero star. Waste of money . We spend around 120 dollars for 2

The food was really good! Everything I tried was good, especially for theme park food. The Luigi burger was juicy and flavorful, and the fries that came with it were really good. They had so much flavor, I didn't even have to dip them in sauce.
Honestly.
Not bad. I thought it would've been worse but it was a nice surprise on the meal. The mushroom soup was genuinely pretty fire, shoutout the worker for helping us keep the mushroom cup. The pasta was kinda bland, the garlic knot was super mid, a
We made reservations around 1pm for 6:00pm.
Just in case you need to prepare. There's a line. A line to get in. Once you're in, there's an another line to order. Another line to place your order. Then another line to be seated. This process takes about 30 minutes. When we we
Wish I could give it zero stars.
Don't waste your time, you make a reservation and they put you at the end of the first line. Then when you get in you get in the second line. Then when you get to the third line you order counter service and wait in another line until a table

Now that the land has been open for a while, and kids are back in school, we were able to grab a reservation fairly easily for lunch. They're pretty strict about only letting you in at the time of your reservation. Dont show up 15 minutes early!

We wanted to try this place for the experience, since we missed our reservation the last time we came, because we were stuck in a long line for a ride. We made the reservation online. We came on to check-in for our reservation. Then we had to get

This is inside the Super Nintendo world at Universal Studios! They are always so busy! They have the best mushroom soup but it's expensive for a tiny soup it's $19.99 but it comes with this very cute mushroom bowl set that you can keep and
Cute place! I had a reservation, so I was able to walk
Cute place! I had a reservation, so I was able to walk right in. The theming is adorable! The service is slow. I think they should do a touch screen ordering system as it takes a long time for people to decide what they want and order at the counter.

I reserved time for lunch at Toadstool cafe but we were able to walk in a bit early right before the lunch rush. After ordering at the cashier, we had to wait to be seated at designated table by the staff. We had to wait quite some time for our food
Not worth the time or money.
We waited 60 minutes and they lost our food order. The lines even with a reservation are ridiculous. Go to a different place in Universal. Especially if your kids are starving.

If you're visiting Universal Studios, this is probably one of the better dining options in the park. It's a popular place but if you visit during the off season like we did, dining here is a breeze. We reserved an afternoon time slot in t

First time eating at Toadstool Cafe and thank goodness we had reservations. Even with a reservation there is a possibility you will still wait in a line with switchbacks. Your reservation time is not when you will be seated at a table. You go through

For a theme park restaurant, we thought the Toadstool Cafe was well made. The menu items are Super Mario World themed with Americanized Italian food. The prices were average for a theme park. At the time of this review, reservations are recommende

Good place to go if it's your first time, but after that,
Good place to go if it's your first time, but after that, not so great. You have to make reservations, then wait in line to order, which if it's crowded can take about 30 minutes. The food there is mediocre and the drinks are very sweet.

We had a reservation for 6:15 PM, but I didn't receive my food until 7:15 PM. It's hard to understand the point of making a reservation if we still have to wait an hour. There's one line to place your order and another to get a table,
Love this cafe, have eaten here twice for our kids
Love this cafe, have eaten here twice for our kids birthdays and while the queue line even with reservations can be long; the experience is fantastic. Everything is done so well themed-wise and probably is our favorite restaurant in the whole park. T
Cutest place! Service was organized and on point.
The food was so cute and delicious. We enjoyed our visit.

Awful wait time even with a reservation, stood in line for 30 mins to order and waited another 30 mins to get the food (they even forgot i think, a staff had to follow it up) Super dry burger
Nice theme, average food, long wait
Food was ok if a bit pricey. Nicely themed. Massive wait even with a reservation, One turtle looking guy even attacked the restaurant in a flying pirate ship during our meal - clearly desperate to cut the queue.
Amazing atmosphere, kawaii yummy food, but takes awhile from res time to food served
Toadstool is a must at Universal Studios Hollywood! I was somehow able to make a lunch res for 4 the night before using the QR code link. Not sure if that’s normal? Give yourself about an hour from the res time until you get your food—so don’t
Fantastic themed dining experience at Toadstool Cafe
Universal Studios Hollywood has truly out done itself with Toadstool Cafe at Super Nintendo World. Toadstool Cafe is a signature quick-service restaurant, you order at the desk, are then escorted to your table and the waiter will then bring out th

Great in concept and so-so in execution. Really seems like an operational nightmare with a crazy wait to get seated after you order and then an even worse wait to get food. You shouldn’t see the entire loop on the video screens more than once wh
Fan Fest Nights Dinner!
Went to Universal Hollywood for Fan Fest Nights and it was our (4) first time at Super Nintendo World. I was able to grab a 8:45 pm reservation at around 6:30pm. Got in after riding Mario Kart at around 9pm, made around a 15 min wait for the waiter.
Connect with users posting reservations for Toadstool Cafe Universal City
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Toadstool Cafe Universal City. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Toadstool Cafe Universal City at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Toadstool Cafe Universal City page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Toadstool Cafe Universal City to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Toadstool Cafe Universal City!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
