Harryhausen's — Monstropolis in Disney's Hollywood Studios

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is preparing to open a BRAND NEW THEMED LAND featuring those lovable monsters from Monsters. Inc.! It’s almost time for humans to visit Monstropolis, as the land will open in phases starting in 2027.

Monstropolis is aiming to be the next human vacation destination! And Disney has stated, “Of course, it wouldn’t be Monstropolis without a few iconic stops along the way. Places like Harryhausen’s — yes, THAT legendary restaurant monsters line up for… help bring the city to life, adding even more personality, energy, and can’t-miss moments around every corner.”

Yes, indeed… at long last, humans will be able to dine at the iconic sushi restaurant pulled straight from Monsters, Inc.!

Michael Hundgen, Vice President Creative, has stated that the menu at Harryhausen’s will be “unlike anything else we offer at Walt Disney World,” and also confirmed that it will serve more than simply sushi. Disney has further shared that the restaurant will feature what the culinary team is calling “grossly fun” food: familiar flavors reimagined with monster-inspired twists. Some of the menu items the team is exploring include ramen bowls inspired by traditional Japanese flavors, but with “monster-sized personality.” The dishes will feature familiar, classic ingredients like rich tonkotsu broth and alkaline ramen noodles, plus others with monster twists like fishcake sliced to look like eyeballs and green eggs!

In August 2026, Disney revealed a sneak peek at the Sushi Chef Audio-Animatronic coming to the land’s Table Service restaurant! Just like in the movie, guests at the restaurant can watch as the chef’s tentacles whip up Monster-worthy creations.

Harryhausen’s will open in the initial opening phase of Monstropolis in 2027. We can’t wait to share more with you about Harryhausen’s — including an official opening date — as further details are revealed!
