The Cutest Food To Try at Tokyo Disney

In my head, there’s a law at the Tokyo Disney theme parks. It reads, ‘If you can form a food item into a character and make it adorable, you shall do it.’ Well, that’s how it happens in my mind anyway, as there are so many cute things to eat in the parks that it’s impossible to consume them all on one trip. I’ve tried! So, which should you go for… and where will you find them in the parks?

Baymax Curry

To me, this is the pinnacle of cute Disney dining. It’s adorable, creative and an actual meal that tastes good.

The original version contains Butter Chicken curry. This has a spicy warning, but I don’t recall it being particularly hot. My tastebuds can tolerate a vindaloo, though, so I might not be the best judge there!

It’s served in the Center Street Coffeehouse in the World Bazaar area of Disneyland. This is a Priority Seating Restaurant if you don’t want to wait too long, but you don’t have to be super organised to get a booking here. I booked mine for a late lunch while waiting in the queue at Big Thunder Mountain!

You can also now buy a veggie version of Baymax. It’s not a curry, but the low-allergen stew plate.

This vegetable stew with Baymax-shaped rice is meat-free and also avoids five major allergens – wheat, eggs, buckwheat, dairy, soy, and peanuts. Search the allergen area of the Tokyo Disney website to check if it contains anything else you might be sensitive to.

You can also buy soup and salad with Mickey croutons at the Centre Street Coffeehouse.

Little Green Dumplings

It might not seem like the obvious choice for breakfast, but these cute little sticky snacks in the shape of the aliens from Toy Story can sell out, so when I saw them at the Pan Galactic Pizza Port as I departed my first ride of the day, they were mine even if it was about 10 am!

They come in three flavours in one tub—chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. I’m not usually a huge mochi fan, but they didn’t seem as sticky and heavy as usual, possibly because they have a cream filling. Chocolate was my favourite.

The Green Alien Mochi is sold in Tomorrowland at Pan Galactic Pizza Port and Plazma Ray’s Diner.

If you’re not going to Disneyland but feel the need for small green alien snacks in your life, you can also find them in DisneySea at New York Deli in American Waterfront, Yucatan Base Camp Grill in Lost River Delta and Zambini Brothers Ristorante, in Mediterranean Harbour.

If you want to be sure of getting your Alien Mochi without having to eat them for breakfast, a sneaky trick is to order them via mobile ordering to pick up later in the day. See our guide to mobile ordering here.

Mickey Waffles

The toppings on these change seasonally, but the waffle itself is always shaped like your favorite mouse.

You’ll find them at the Great American Waffle Co in World Bazaar.

Baymax Burger

I think they were having a bad day with this one. Not only does Baymax look like he needs some of his own health assistance, I wasn’t massively keen on the burger itself.

It’s described as a ginger and pork burger, but there was something about the texture that I really didn’t like. When I mentioned this on my Disney FB group, someone else said they loved it, so don’t rule it out.

This is a ‘limited edition’ product, but it’s available for a long time, and people love a bit of Baymax, so I will include it here.

One bonus of trying the Baymax burger is that it is available from Tomorrowland Terrace, which has seats overlooking the parades.

Mickey Nuggets

Because they cater heavily to the local audience, it can be harder to find foods that Western children might be familiar with in the Tokyo parks than in the US parks. However, you’ll find hotdogs, fries, and Mickey Mouse-shaped chicken nuggets at Refreshment Corner in World Bazaar.

They also sell these and a selection of burgers at Tomorrowland Terrace.

In DisneySea, you’ll find Mickey Nuggets in Cape Cod Cook-Off.

If you are traveling with someone who likes their food quite familiar, take a look at our guide to visiting Tokyo Disneyland with a fussy eater.

We also have a similar guide to Tokyo DisneySea to make it easier to find foods like burgers, nuggets and pizza in the park. Find the Tokyo DisneySea guide here.

Mickey-Shaped Onigiri Sandwich

This was a big surprise – it’s delicious.

The local wildlife has obviously gotten wind of this, as when I put it down to grab a quick swig of my drink, one of the Disney ducks (actual feathery ones, not ones in cute sailor suits) decided to try and take an ear off!

The ‘bun’ is made of grilled rice and has strips of beef and veggies inside. It’s one of the more filling snacks in the park, and I like it because it’s savory; I do not have a massive sweet tooth.

You can also buy it as a combo with fries and a drink, or combine it with the salad they sell here, to make a decent meal.

You’ll find it at Camp Woodchuck Kitchen in Westernland.

Donald’s Shrimp Cutlet Burger

This has a cute yellow bun in the shape of Donald’s foot folded around a shrimp cutlet. You can also buy it with fries and a drink to make a meal. It’s at Huey, Dewie and Louie’s Good Time Cafe in Toontown.

Mike Melon Bread

This is a better breakfast choice than the Alien Mochi!

Melon pan is a sweet Japanese bread, and this one is shaped like Mike from Monsters Inc. It also contains a custard filling, which keeps things light.

You’ll find in Disneyland at Sweetheart Cafe in the World Bazaar area. Other cute treats here include Mickey-shaped muffins and a savory Danish with sausage and cheese sauce.

You can also buy Mike Melon Pan in DisneySea at the Cafe Portofino and Mamma Biscotti’s Bakery in Mediterranean Harbour.

Like the Sweetheart Cafe, both venues also have savory Mickey-shaped Danishes with chicken and mayonnaise filling. You might also find some other seasonal character-shaped treats in there.

Mickey Eggs

Yes, Disney has boiled eggs where the yolk is shaped like Mickey Mouse.

You’ll find them atop two dishes in Disneyland – the Black Pepper Pork in Pork Soy Soup at China Voyager in Adventureland and the Hungry Bear Curry at the Hungry Bear Kitchen in Westernland.

They find an interesting home in DisneySea – on top of the Seafood Pizza at Zambini Brothers’ Ristorante in Mediterranean Harbor. While you’re there, Zambini Brothers also sell churros shaped like Mickey heads.

I did try and use mobile ordering at the Hungry Bear Cafe, but by the time I’d faffed about trying to decide how long it was going to take me to get to the front of the queue of Small World, make my way back to Westernland, and then get back to Tomorrowland for the night parade, all the suitable slots were gone. The moral of this story is do not waste time when mobile ordering! Thankfully I have learned on my next trip and sauntered past the giant queue to pick up my order – and it was delicious.

Seafood Chowder with a Mickey Crouton

After the Baymax curry, this is probably my favourite dish on this list. It’s thick and creamy and contains a decent amount of seafood.

You’ll find it in Sebastian’s Calypso Kitchen in Mermaid Lagoon.

It’s also available at Cape Cod Cook-Off, which is also the best place to go for seasonal Duffy-shaped treats. However, this means queues can be long, especially if something new has been released.

Mickey-Shaped Pizza

As you can see above, I accompanied my Mickey-shaped crouton with a side of pizza – and, while it’s cute, it is a food I need never eat again. Don’t get me wrong, it’s edible – but it’s just too sweet for me.

I tried mine in DisneySea at Sebastian’s Kitchen, but checking the menus seems to indicate that the pizzas there are currently round, so if you want Mickey Pizza, head over to Huey, Dewey, and Louie’s Good Time Cafe in Toontown in Disneyland instead.

Mickey and Minnie Ices

I was heading to the Aquatopia ride at DisneySea when I realized I was thirsty! I also needed a sit-down and decided to do it in a seat that wasn’t spinning in circles. This was the perfect point in my day to try a Minnie-shaped ice lolly.

How do I know this is a Minnie one? She has a bow! The yellow ones are Mickey.

If you’re in DisneySea, you can also buy them at the Refreshment Station in Mysterious Island, Breezeway Bites in Port Discovery and Tropic Al’s in Lost River Delta.

You’ll find these at refreshment stands all over the park, including Fresh Fruit Oasis in Adventureland and Village Pastry in Fantasyland. Magical Market in Fantasy land, Toontone Treats in Toontown.

If you’re more in the mood for ice cream, pick the Tiramisu Ice Cream Bar which has a drawing of Mickey on the shell.

Mickey Hand Bao Buns

When you order these at the Vulcania restaurant in Mysterious Island, they make sure to tell you that they have no filling. But that’s okay, as I was using it to accompany the Chicken in Leek Sauce, so I had something to put in it!

If you would prefer to have your Mickey Bao ready-made with some filling, Huey, Dewey, and Louie’s Good Time Cafe in Toontown offers them filled with chicken and egg.

Watch Out For Seasonal Dishes

In addition to the above, you’ll find cute seasonal dishes in restaurants all over the parks and hotels.

Over the last few months, Donald Duck has been given treats to accompany his parade, and as I write this, the Halloween snacks have just hit the park.

You’ll also find many cute touches on the special children’s meals, like the Mickey-shaped plate in the picture above, and on items in the Crystal Palace restaurant buffet.

I haven’t added those to this list as they will change regularly, and I don’t want anyone to be disappointed if the Duck-shaped cake you’ve set your heart on isn’t in stock when you arrive—but keep your eyes peeled.

What About Drinks?

There are speciality drinks around the parks. They don’t tend to have character shapes but instead base their colours around them.

So, you’ll find a Frozen-inspired cocktail in the Roosevelt Lounge, which would nicely match Elsa’s dress, and during Donaldpalooza, lots of blue and yellow-themed drinks appeared. Halloween is a sea of purple and red villain-style drinks.

I did like these bottles of sparkling water in the vending machines, though. I got a Donald Duck-themed one, too.

So, that’s my guide to all the cute food at Tokyo Disney Resort. If you try any of the seasonal dishes, head over to the Tokyo Disney Facebook group and add the pictures so we can see them.
