Yak and Yeti Restaurant – Animal Kingdom Asia

Located near the Kali River Rapids is a hidden gem, the Yak and Yeti Restaurant. The Yak and Yeti serves pan-Asian food and is home to some very unique and interesting artifacts. They offer full table service and a full service bar. Like many of Disney’s restaurants it is recommended that you make reservations for Lunch and Dinner which you can do by calling 407-WDW-DINE.

The Perks:
The Cast Members are fantastic! Meet James who was our waiter…



When we arrived for lunch at Yak and Yeti we were hot, tired and incredibly thirsty. James noticed this so he gave us a few minutes to settle in and brought us ice cold water with lemon. He also answered all our questions and brought back the menu when we decided to order more drinks and food. In addition he encouraged us to walk around the restaurant and take a look at all the artifacts that the Yak and Yeti houses. If you eat at the Yak and Yeti be sure to tell James hello.

Besides our wonderful waiter there are some other perks that the Yak and Yeti offer. Another is the great artifacts that surround the dining areas here is just one dining area…


And of course what you are all waiting for… the FOOD! It was fantastic! I highly recommend the Crispy Mahi Mahi; I have never tasted fish so good! Also you must try the Glacier Water. It is a coconut and Sprite drink that is both sweet and refreshing. We spent about $90 with tip for our Lunch and we left stuffed and happy. It was fantastic food with great service and well worth our $90.

The Downfalls:
Like many of the Disney restaurants the desert offerings are slim and the Yak and Yeti also has a small desert menu (four items to be exact). But the Glacier Water is sweet enough to be desert so it was not too disappointing that the desert menu was lacking in variety.

Do I recommend it?
Yes! I also recommend you make reservations as I hear they can get quite busy for late lunch and dinner.
