Toadstool Cafe Universal City Reviews
If you're visiting Universal Studios, this is probably one
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

Well, it isn't the nightmare that the original ticket system was... Now it's a QR code you scan to make a reservation for that day and beyond (good for Passholders and multiple day tourists). You can also reserve ahead of time on the UNI a

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

The food was surprisingly really good I recommend kids cheeseburger with fries and broccoli and corn. The bean pulled cake was all right. The spaghetti was amazing. If you're gonna eat somewhere at Universal Studios Hollywood eat here please ski
For a theme park restaurant, we thought the Toadstool Cafe
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

It was our first time trying the Toadstool Cafe and despite the mixed reviews we had a great time. Tadashi was also gracious and kind and provided excellent service despite the area feeling hectic. Kudos to him. Our food was also adorable for our pho
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 ordered the kids' spaghetti, fettuccine, and the chef's special chicken. The fettuccine was just okay. The chicken wasn't too dry and I liked the mushrooms, but the sauce tasted like it came out of a can. The chef's special ch

This place was cute, very instagrammable! However, we still had to wait in long lines even after placing a "reservation". We thought it would be a restaurant/sever style. You have to wait in line to order at the cash register and then wait

We came on Halloween Horror Nights at about 930, there wasn't too many people there since we were coming near closing. I had never been before and overall, other than the theming the service and food could be better. First of all the theming
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

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,
Cutest place! Service was organized and on point.
The food was so cute and delicious. We enjoyed our visit.
Visited Universal on August 30th for an early birthday
Visited Universal on August 30th for an early birthday present for my daughter. Naturally she wanted to try this café, it was above average. We made a reservation for 3:15 P.M. Keep in mind that if you get there early they will tell you to wait ti

I enjoyed eating here it! I recommend making a reservation before coming to the park on the universal mobile app. As reservations fill up fast. All the food was great one the of the best places to eat in the entire park food quality and flavor was be

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
Operational Nightmare
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.
Unforgettable experience
This cafe went above and beyond for our family! It was the best experience for our family of 7, one being a disabled child in a wheelchair. I would highly recommend this cafe! Thank you to the staff for an unforgettable experience! Fyi, the mushr
Good Food, Limited Options/Long Waits
I have to say, while the food and atmosphere wasn’t bad, it’s an incredible wait for something you need to reserve. There’s sadly not much in terms of Vegan options if that’s the way you dine, you’re left with a tomato soup, which is good b
Food is good however it's disappointing to be told you
Food is good however it's disappointing to be told you can't have a specific sauce , in our case it was buffalo sauce, because it didn't come with the Mario Burger. On top of that we were told that we needed to get up from our table and get in line t

Ok so I'm already aware it's a theme park restaurant so my expectations were already low. But the worst part of this experience was after all the waiting to order and then waiting for the food to be delivered, it was delivered like warm. The garlic k
This place really needs to work on their wait times.
You need a reservation to dine here, once reserved you come at your slotted time to wait in a huge line to order, then wait in another huge line to get sat at a table. This would all be understandable if the place was packed however once we were sat
My friend and I ordered the following: 1.
Tomato soup 2. Mario burger 3. Bowser's meatball The tomato soup was a very disappointing tin of tomato sauce--not soup--and not even very good tomato sauce, definitely not worth the $20. The Mario burger was comparable to a decent fast food burger

The food was horrible, especially the short ribs special smelled like straight-up dog food and tasted horrible and the super mushroom soup was not good at all the only decent food they had was the Luigi burger, Mario burger and the garlic knots and t

This is one of the more fun themed restaurants at Universal.
If you get to SuperMarioland very early early in the morning make sure to scan the QR code shown on a sign near the entrance to the land. That will take you to the reservation page. 2 out of 3 times I was able to get a reservation for later in the da

PSA: when you have a "reservation", it's just for the privilege of standing in line to order. Took us an hour to get our food. Food was ok. Meatball was dry. Short rib was pretty good. Tiramisu was very good. Burger was mid. Very cute cafe
Okay don't get me wrong, everything is super super cute
Okay don't get me wrong, everything is super super cute here, but between the wait time, food quality, portion size, and price, it was not worth it. Everything was really small yet extremely pricey :( Super Star Lemon Squash ($10) - a sparkling lemo
The food was good and service was ok.
The ambiance was great. The only issue was the cost. Since this was a once in a lifetime thing for me, it was justifiable.
Ugh
Been waiting nearly an hour for our order, staff cannot seem to figure it out. Guy just came out and admitted order was given to another table. No pics because we still do not have food.
Immersive Meal for Mario Fans
Reviews are really mixed on this place, but once we walked into the full immersion of Super Mario World, we couldn’t resist rolling the dice and trying it out. We added ourselves to the virtual waitlist upon park open and were able to easily snag a

If it is your first time visiting Universal Hollywood, I would recommend just so you can say you experienced it. You need a reservation to wait in line. So you wait in the first line to be shown where to order by an employee. Then you wait in the li

Long line, Workers gave us attitude when we were just asking questions. Workers have no respect for their customers. Food is good but all you do is wait and wait. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANY TOURIST THAT COME TO UNIVERSAL STUDIOS.
Worst experience ever .
We had a reservation for 2 pm and did not get to even order for an hour . Our cashier was extremely slow lane 1 Diane looked like she didn't even want to be at work. The host after ordering was extremely rude and did not want to seat us because the r
Don’t waste your time waiting even with a reservation
We had made a reservation for 245, and waited in line for an hour even with the reservation. Don’t waste your time in the park waiting for food. I cannot tell you of the food is any good as we waited forever

I've been able to try this place 2x now, thanks to my friend who is a Universal employee. The first time we came was before the super Nintendo world actually opened, and we went for one of those employee days. And the second time I tried it was earli
Great ambiance, but disappointing food overall.
The only redeeming meal taste was bowsers challenge. The burger was overcooked, the salad croutons are stale and the toadstool cheese garlic bread was harder than Bowser's shell. As a platinum pass member I can tell you we were right to wait 1 year t

Theming is on point, super cute.
The food is just okay. Small portions for the price. I ordered the tomato soup and the portion was smaller than I was expecting. I was expecting a bowl and received a cup. Garlic knots were bland. I would have liked a stronger garlic flavor. I went
It’s a great experience!
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience at Toad Stool Cafe. I’ll be honest though, it’s a long wait, despite having a reservation. You line up at your reservation time to get in, you go in and lineup to order food (fast food style), you the
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

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
* DistinguishedTree58, 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.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 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 DistinguishedTree58 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, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58'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.
