Toadstool Cafe Universal City Reviews from The Last Year
Long line, Workers gave us attitude when we were just
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.
If it is your first time visiting Universal Hollywood, I
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 line to order your food, but they only give you your drinks on a tray and a number for you to place on your table. And then you need to wait in a third line to get seated at a table. Once at the table, you wait again for your food. Overall, we waited at least 45 minutes from the time we walked into the cafe to the time we sat at the table. Only to wait another 25 minutes for our food. And the food was typical theme park food. Nothing fantastic. Nothing that would make me want to go through that whole process again. Especially with hungry kids who just want to sit and eat and go back out to enjoy the rides. Would I recommend this place? I only recommend it if you've never tried it. The ambiance is cute, Mario themed. Service could've been better. But I'm glad we tried it to know that we'll never eat there again. It's too much of a hassle.
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 rest of our party was still in the middle of ordering. We asked to be moved to a different table since a person in my party is in a wheelchair and the table was uncomfortable. The host was very rude and he said that is the table I get and he won't accommodate for us. We spent over $250 on our food and it was not worth it. This has been the worst experience I ever had at any food industry. Don't waste your money or time here.

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 earlier this month. I will make this review focus on my most recent visit, but I do want to mention that I think the food and the reservation system has improved a lot since the first time I went. EXPERIENCE: My friend made reservations ahead of time for us, so I don't have experience making a reservation day of. However, I did see a QR code to scan right in front of the restaurant to try to get a spot. If you have a reservation, you show up at your reservation time, and then you get to go inside shortly after. Then you go inside and line up to order. After you order, they will seat you. Your entire party has to be present to be seated. The cafe itself is SUPER cute. Chef Toad is adorable and if you look at the screens they have up in the cafe, they are all synced and continuous with each other if an event is happening. FOOD: I tried the fire flower spaghetti, and it was honestly pretty good! It's a lil spicy. We also got to try our friends' mushroom soup and giant meatball. The mushroom soup is SUPER flavorful and umami. The giant meatball was soooo spicy. I could not really eat it haha but my partner enjoyed it a lot. PRICE: Food at universal is overpriced. This place is no exception xD The fire flower spaghetti was $17. And the mushroom soup was $20, but it was rly good and it came with a little mushroom bowl. Overall, if you haven't been yet, you should definitely try to stop by the toad stool cafe while you're visiting super nintendo world. Don't expect the food to be super good, but I'd say you're basically paying for the experience to eat inside of an immersive toad themed restaurant.
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 to try this place. Some employees were very engaged but the majority looked sad
we got lucky to reserve a spot on a friday.
we arrived for the QR code around 11:30am and the picked the last time for reservation at 4:30pm. there was still a line when we arrived during our reservation time but the line moved pretty quickly i love how there's screens everywhere (of toad cooking and the menus) so it helped keep ourselves preoccupied while waiting to be seated you order before you get seated and they will bring the food to you ~Food~ ranked best to worst: mushroom soup: i love how flavorful this soup is. the taste of umami was very strong with a creamy flavor. i did like that it came with a souvenir container but i wish they did have an option to get the soup without the cup for a cheaper price (or at least offer a discount for bringing the container) spaghetti and mushroom: i think this dish was the most worth for the price. for $16.99 the portion was just right and the flavors were what i hoped. the meatball was juicy and there was enough sauce for the spaghetti bowser's fireball challenge: i love the idea of this dish- giant spicy meatball with flakey pastry. but the meatball was dry and felt a little rubbery. the pastry also lacked flavor and for the price, spaghetti and meatballs seemed like the better choice. i did like how spicy the meatballs and hot sauce were block tiramisu: there was a lack of actual tiramisu cake. it was mostly whipped cream, which was good but the dessert felt like straight up cream. the cookie walls were ok, lacked flavor but they added a nice texture to the cake overall, this place is nice if you're able to reserve a time and want to sit indoors after a long day of being at the park. the price is not unreasonable and i love how everything is themed ~Service: quick and friendly ~Cost: $$ pretty affordable for a sit down restaurant in an amusement park
Reservations can fill up fast, so I made sure that once I
Reservations can fill up fast, so I made sure that once I had access to the QR code to secure my appointment. We arrived to the cafe entrance ~10 minutes earlier than our appointment and were asked to wait until that time. If you're at Universal Studios, you're likely already familiar with the possibility that you're going to have to wait in a line. We were there on a Thursday, and there was a lot of people. After waiting for our dining appointment, there was another lengthy line before reaching the area to order your food. The animations and the ambiance keeps you entertained for a moment. Love the detail of the decor! I personally ordered from the Kids Menu and got the spaghetti meal because I wasn't too hungry since I had been snacking. Food was lukewarm when it arrived, and my spaghetti wasn't anything amazing. My family enjoyed the burgers they had gotten. If anything, my favorite was the Super Star Lemon Squash beverage, and it tasted extra refreshing given how hot it was the day I went. Unless you're a major Super Mario fan, I think you'd appreciate this place more, but personally, I feel like there's other enticing eateries available. Coming here was more about the experience and aesthetics for us since we were hyped about going to Super Nintendo World for our first time.
Toadstool Cafe was absolutely adorable! However, I think
Toadstool Cafe was absolutely adorable! However, I think they could enhance the overall experience. Reservations are a must here, and they filled up quickly. Fortunately, they released more slots at noon, and my group managed to get a reservation for 2 pm. We weren't allowed to line up in front of the cafe until precisely 2 pm, and once inside, we found ourselves in another queue. While waiting, they had a looping video of Chef Toad cooking, but it became repetitive after a while. It would have been more engaging if they showed him preparing different easy recipes to keep us entertained during the wait. Once we ordered, we were escorted to our table where we waited some more for our food to arrive. Despite our reservation being at 2 pm, we didn't receive our food until 3 pm, essentially spending close to 2 hours there. I opted for Bowser's Fireball Challenge, the Mario burger, and the Mt. Beanpole Cake to share. My friends tried the Super Mushroom Soup, the Toadstool Cheesy Garlic Knots, the ? Block Tiramisu, and various other items that I didn't sample. Overall, while I appreciated the charming decorations and theme, the food was just okay. Although I enjoyed the delightful decorations and theme, the food didn't buy quite live up to my expectations. Bowser's Fireball Challenge 3/5 - spicy!!! Mario burger 3/5 - the fries were crispy but the burger was dry. Mt. Beanpole Cake 4/5 - not bad, a bit sweet. Super Mushroom Soup 4/5 - so good! Expensive if you don't care to keep the mushroom bowl. Toadstool Cheesy Garlic Knots 4/5 - didn't taste much garlic, but the bread was chewy and enjoyable. ? Block Tiramisu 2/5 - I can make much better tiramisu, but I'll give them credit for the presentation.
My family and I have been trying to get a reservation to
My family and I have been trying to get a reservation to this restaurant for a long time. It usually has zero availability once 9am hits. So this time, my kids and I bought early entrance and were able to get in. First thing, they won't let you get in line before your reserved time. I appreciated this. I can't stand having to wait in line behind people who have times after mine. Secondly, once you're allowed entry, you still have to wait in a little line to order, then afterwards, a host will seat you. Third, the restaurant is pretty cool. There were some nice features like some thunder and lighting effects throughout the meal. The decor was nice, perfect for kids. Fourth, the food. It was beautifully played and everything came out so pretty. You definitely come here for the ambience and the experience. Was it gourmet and tasty? It was just okay. The mushroom soup was very bland. But my kids ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and the Bowser challenge meatball...both were tasty. It had a good kick which surprised me. My son ordered a tiramisu that didn't taste like tiramisu, but it was super cute to look at. Is Toadstool Cafe the best food at the park? IMO, no. I liked the restaurant at the Harry Potter area much better. But it was a fun experience and I didn't regret the money spent there.
Honestly I wish I could experience this for the first time
Honestly I wish I could experience this for the first time again! The experience in itself is on point. Make sure you scan the QR code early on in the day because reservations fill so fast. We paid for early access to Super Mario World and only 20 minutes in all reservations were full. After getting our reservation we got a confirmation email and arrived 5 minutes before our reservation and got let in to the entry way. Toad is on a screen to welcome you in and then you get to order at the cashier. We ordered the super star lemon squash, Mario Burger, Bowsers Fireball Challenge, and the Block Tiramisu. The lemon squash was like a lemon soda with some boba jelly and was relatively refreshing. Bowser's Fireball challenge had a good spice to it but I wish the meatball was more moist because it was fairly dry. The Mario Burger was pretty decent but came out lukewarm and was also pretty dry. The Block Tiramisu was the best thing we had although it's a small serving it came in a mystery block made of shortbread cookies. Overall the food is alright but the experience and decor is so immersive and very well put together that I would recommend experiencing it at least once.
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 on a day with a long wait time. It was about 1hr from my reservation time to the time I sat down at a table. Plus another half hour wait for food.
Get there early scan QR code to get a reservation I got
Get there early scan QR code to get a reservation I got there at 1100 the earliest reservation was 545. Service was good. Food is not the best. Desserts are tiny. I think food could have a lil more warm. Restaurant is real cute inside. Don't think I would eat there again.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
