   I was not very pleased with the Korean stir fry. Unfortunately my chicken was very very tough. The server was amazing and she even offered to have it recooked however we had already waited for at least 40min . My daughter’s shrimp was very crunchy as well. Other than that, it was still a good experience .

   Wait staff was not very attentive and the hostess seemed like we were more of an imposition than customers

   The food was horrible! We all left hungry. It cost $200 for a group of 5 (2 adults 3 kids). They even let someone pet dog come into the restaurant! Overall we will never go back again!

   My kids really enjoyed it today. They were all smiles and it was just a great experience. The only complaint is my request wasn’t honored. But it was no big deal once I saw my kids smiles and enjoying themselves. we still had fun.

   Food was gross and over priced. Denny’s has a better steak, ribs were dry and tasteless. Over all waste of money and time. I have paid less at very fancy restaurants, this was gross.

   My two year old loved the ambiance and my mother in law enjoyed reliving what it was like to take my husband when he was young. The waiter we had we very friendly and made small talk as well. The wait staff was very pleasant while we made my daughter a bear and they also were helpful with my mother in law when we tried to get off and on the ride below the restaurant.

    I enjoyed this restaurant, the atmosphere is nice. my kid really loved all the animals and trees and the ride they had... oh and watching the volcano was fun.... food was pretty good id say maybe a bit pricy but good taste and considering all they have going on in there honestly the price is not bad but yeah just dont expect anything to be cheap lol.... also its been a while since id had a server that didnt make me regret going to the restaurant so that was nice, cheers to the server for being nice and awesome he even went out of his way to get my son a new flat coin ( you can squish a penny and it has a design), cause my kid lost his, overall great fun experience and good food fantastic service. 10/10 would highly recommend to anyone just looking for a nice fun relaxing place to eat.

    It would be really nice if the greeters who sits you at your table we’re a little more polite I noticed this as a trend. It’s a huge difference between the wait staff and the hostess and there should not be that big of a discrepancy. The wait staff is always above and beyond

    Terrible food and drinks consistently across the table, staff was kind but they have to work on their food and drinks if they're going to continue charging that much.

    Day in Galveston with my best friend. We loved the elephants right by our table. Our waiter was a class act. His name was Ugi. Surely not spelled correctly by me. I had the salmon and shrimp. My friend had the arugula flatbread. My friend has a shellfish allergy and she told our waiter. He immediately returns with a kitchen chef that said he would specifically fix her food and make sure no cross contamination happened. Then he delivered her food personally while Ugi brought mine. Talk about impressed!! We were with this excellent service and attention to detail. The food was excellent. We also went on the adventure ride and loved it.

    We booked a weekday reservation for my daughter's birthday and we were very impressed. Our waiter, Christian, went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of for over an hour. The appetizer came before the meal, food was delicious, and we all loved the lava volcano cake. The restaurant appeared clean and the staff was friendly. Prices are a little high for adult meals, but the kids meals were very reasonable. I didn't really mind the price since it was a special occasion and the amazing ambience and theme of the restaurant makes up for it. I will be returning in the future.

    In spite of making a reservation, we were seated on the edge of the restaurant away from the jungle experience. There were no animals near us and a cold mist was spraying on us that smelled so strongly of chlorine that we could hardly stand it. We asked to be moved and we were told we couldn’t. We could not smell any restaurant food whatsoever- just chlorine. We were so far from the fun rainforest area that the guy making balloon animals never came near our table. The restaurant was very cold and other customers had to wear sweatshirts, jackets, and sweaters even though it was t-shirt weather outside. The hostesses were even wearing layers over their work clothes. The food was great and the server was excellent. In short, we were freezing, breathing chlorine, and not in the rainforest. The good food and service couldn’t make up for the awful environment.
