Boudin sourdough bread bowls, clam chowder, curry, and cheesecake
"A casual counter-service spot offering items that nod to Asian and fusion tastes—soba noodle salad, a California roll sandwich, and a standout clam chowder served in a sourdough bread bowl flavored with white miso—alongside playful beverages like a honey lemonade with popping bubbles reminiscent of boba, reflecting the park’s embrace of contemporary Asian-American food trends." - Rachel Chang Rachel Chang Rachel Chang is a travel and pop culture journalist who contributes to Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Lonely Planet, and more.

"A taro bread pudding that marries perfectly moist (but not soggy) bread pudding with subtly sweet taro, all harmonized by a luxurious coconut‑vanilla sauce; chewy boba pearls add an enjoyable textural contrast in every bite, making this a pleasantly surprising, Asian‑inspired dessert at the parks." - Andee Gosnell
"When Pacific Wharf became San Fransokyo Square from Big Hero 6 in 2023, the revamp breathed new life into the area. The J-pop soundtrack is pure fun, as are the Mexican Asian culinary mashups like Beef Birria Ramen at Lucky Fortune Cookery, and the playfully creative dishes like the California Roll Sandwich at Aunt Cass Cafe. The sandwich is made with chilled shrimp and crab tossed in wasabi mayo, topped with yakisoba sauce and seaweed salad, served in a milk bread bun. Is it exactly like a California roll? No. Is it cool and refreshing? Absolutely." - Julie Tremaine
"Location: Aunt Cass Cafe, San Fransokyo Square, California Adventure A visit to Disneyland between July and October is a dance with summer heat stroke, so finding good cool-down dishes is imperative. Our favorite is the cold soba noodles at Aunt Cass Cafe. The soft buckwheat noodles come mixed with tofu, cabbage, edamame, carrots, and roasted corn, then get topped with crispy shallots and a bright sesame ginger dressing. It’s one of the most refreshing savory dishes in the park and also a good option for vegetarians. *Available for mobile pre-order." - brant cox
"Long regarded as part of the city’s roster of community-minded and workforce-centered eateries, it encountered significant economic challenges in the post-pandemic period and was among the celebrated places that closed permanently in 2023 after struggling to stay afloat." - Serena Maria Daniels
