The Yak and Yeti serves up pan Asian cuisine at the Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World. You will find this restaurant in Asia at the back of Animal Kingdom near Kali River Rapids. Once again Disney has a fantastic backstory (which you can read on the menus) for Yak and Yeti. To summarize, a wealthy merchant from Anandapur, Arjun, has fallen on hard times. As a result, he’s turned his regal home into a hotel and restaurant. Throughout Arjun’s extensive travels, he’s amassed an impressive art collection which he displays throughout the restaurant.

This two-story restaurant can be found in Asia right next to UP! the Great Bird Adventure show. When dining here you are going to want to keep a close on everything since there are endless details inside and out of the Yak and Yeti.


Yak and Yeti Dishes
The following are a few of the dishes we have tried from their menu.

First off let’s pause and share a little bit about this appetizer from Yak and Yeti, the Ahi Tuna nachos. It’s Sushi-grade ahi, Asian slaw, crispy fried wontons, wasabi aïoli, and a sweet soy glaze. From my experience, this is the MOST raved about menu item. This app is so big it’s perfect for sharing or well you could always keep all the delicious ahi to yourself and have it as a meal!

Lo Mein Chicken
I have gotten the Lo Mein Chicken a couple times at Yak and Yeti, I just can’t seem to get enough of it. Everything is fresh and so full of flavor. I was most surprised when I first had this dish that the chicken is fried and packed with awesome flavor. The chicken is mixed in with lo mein noodles, carrots, cabbage, green onions, and bean sprouts.

Teriyaki Chicken
My husband went with the waiter’s recommendation when picking out this dish and he just loved it. Chicken and rice you just can’t go wrong, right? The teriyaki chicken is served on pineapple-onion-pepper skewers then topped with Teriyaki Glaze, Coconut-Ginger Rice, Stir-fried Vegetables.

Yak and Yeti Recommendation
The Animal Kingdom has limited sit-down dining options and Yak and Yeti is one of the better options. The spot serves your traditional Asian dishes that some of us have dubbed as our comfort foods. If you are worried about trying this spot because you have a picky eater, the burger here is fantastic and a great backup option.
Our main complaint here was the portion sizes were so big we should have split a meal, or prepared to take it immediately back home instead of spending a few more hours in the park enjoying the rides.
If you are interested in booking a reservation for Yak and Yeti you can do so through My Disney Experience. We find reservations are moderately easy to make here you should think about booking this location in advanced.

I have been visiting the parks annually since my parents first brought me at just a year old. Recently I was able to fulfill my life long dream of being a Florida local and moved from the wintery Northeast to the sunshine and fun of central Florida. Now I am hoping to share my Disney knowledge with you so you can have the best vacation possible!
