What it is

Yak and Yeti is operated by Landry's rather than Disney, and it is the park's second full-service restaurant. The building is dressed as a Nepalese family home converted into a hotel and restaurant, and the interior is filled with roughly 2,000 genuine artifacts sourced across Asia - carved doors, hand-painted panels, brassware, textiles. Ask for a table upstairs and look at what is on the walls.

The cooking is pan-Asian and better than it needs to be: honey chicken, lo mein, seared miso salmon, tempura shrimp, curries, and a fried wonton dessert with pineapple and cream cheese that regulars order first and eat last. It is not authentic to any one cuisine and does not pretend to be.

It is also the only sit-down meal in the park with air conditioning, a full bar and a reasonable chance of a same-day reservation, which makes it the practical answer for a lot of families.

Our verdict

Better food than a theme park needs and a room genuinely worth sitting in, at prices that are high but not absurd. The most reliable good meal at Animal Kingdom if Tiffins is out of budget or booked.

What to order

The dishes this kitchen is actually known for. Menus change seasonally, so treat this as what to look for rather than a guaranteed list.

  • Fried wontons with pineapple and cream cheese
  • Ahi tuna nachos
  • Miso-glazed salmon
  • Kobe beef burger
  • Lo mein

Tips for Yak and Yeti Restaurant

  • Ask for upstairs. The lower level is fine; the upper floor has better light, more of the antique collection and a quieter room.
  • Order the fried wontons at the start of the meal so they arrive warm at the end. They are the single best dessert in the park and the kitchen will pace them if you ask.
  • Same-day reservations are frequently available here when nothing else in the park is. Check the app at 11 AM before defaulting to another quick service.
  • Repeat-visitor note: this is a Landry's restaurant, so a Landry's Select Club membership earns and redeems here the same as at any of their locations, which is unusual inside a Disney park.
  • The ahi tuna nachos are a shared appetizer that eats like a light meal for one. Two people can eat well here for less than the menu implies.

Fried Wontons with Pineapple and Cream Cheese

Yak and Yeti Restaurant

$13.99

Crisp fried wontons filled with pineapple and cream cheese, served hot with vanilla ice cream and caramel at the table-service restaurant in Asia.

Our take: The best dessert in the park and the reason a lot of regulars book Yak and Yeti at all. Order it at the start of the meal so the kitchen paces it and it arrives hot.

Do not leave without it Sweet Vegetarian

Ahi Tuna Nachos

Yak and Yeti Restaurant

$19.99

Seared ahi tuna over crisp wonton chips with avocado, sesame and a sweet-spicy drizzle, served as an appetizer at the Asia table service.

Our take: A shared starter that eats like a light meal for one. Two people can order this and the fried wontons and leave satisfied for well under the price of two entrees.

Yak and Yeti Restaurant: common questions

Is Yak and Yeti operated by Disney?

No. The table-service restaurant is run by Landry's, though it participates in the Disney Dining Plan and is booked through Disney's reservation system. The adjacent quick-service counters are a separate Disney-operated operation.

What should I order at Yak and Yeti?

The fried wontons with pineapple and cream cheese are the signature and the best dessert in the park. For mains, the honey chicken and the miso salmon are the most consistent, and the ahi tuna nachos work as a shared starter.

Can I get a same-day reservation?

Often, yes. It is the easiest table-service booking at Animal Kingdom and frequently has availability when the rest of the park has none. Check the app late morning.

Is Yak and Yeti Restaurant the same as the quick-service counters?

No. Yak and Yeti Local Food Cafes is a separate quick-service operation outside the building with its own menu and much lower prices. The two share a name and a theme, not a kitchen.
