Tokyo Dining or Flower and Garden snacking around the world?

[DisneyWorldAndy]

Hi there,
so, we'll be at Epcot for a day end of April and currently have lunch reservations at Tokyo Dining.. as we only have 2 days in the parks this time and want to experience a lot, I was thinking about maybe cancelling the reservation and do some "snacking" around World Showcase instead.
What are your thoughts on that? Is the food at the booths good? Would it really save time (and money?) to hit 2-3 booths instead of having a sit-down lunch? I can't decide what to do and need HELP pleeeease!
Thanks, guys!!

There are some reviews up already on the F&G booths -- although a few items are praised, the reviews for most things are "meh" to negative. Prices for each food item are $5.50-$7 for a small, tapas-style portion, so the cost can add up quickly. I'd Google "2018 Flower & Garden Booth Reviews" and check it out the menus and photos for yourself. Although I'm usually a big fan of "snacking around the World," you might be better off keeping your ADR, and simply selecting a dessert item or after-dinner beverage from the booths.

I'd vote to keep your reservation at Tokyo Dining too. Not only can the booths be hit or miss, but Tokyo Dining is always a hit! (And is quiet, a good break, and great views of World Showcase Lagoon).

Tokyo Dining has a good deal for lunch -- ask about the lunch specials.

I always snack. If you really want to try the booths that big meal won't work.

Before cancelling your reservation, make sure you look at the booth menus. Flower & Garden doesn't have as many booths as, say, Food & Wine, so the selection is a little slimmer. We're planning to do the booths for lunch (and possibly grab something at a quick service restaurant, since most of the booth options are out of my "picky eater" comfort zone) and have a late dinner at Teppan Edo.

I love sushi at Tokyo Dining... But if you're worried it will bite into your time, snacking around the WS is a good option. There's a LOT of locations to do so, in addition to the usual QS dining options at each pavilion. You might want to hold onto your reservation just the same - you can always cancel it the morning of if you change your mind (don't forget though!).
