Our server kept us laughing the whole night! The food is excellent - of our four meals all were greatly enjoyable. The desserts are some of the best we had on the trip! It's also amazing to be in AK after dark...making a reservation for dusk and being able to come out and ride the rides after dark or just walk around with a wonderfully full belly is amazing!

Pros:

great food, great server

Cons:

As usual the Yak & Yeti was great. this trip we decided to split appetizers and dessert. We had green bean which were ok, the fried rice was very flavorful, the egg rolls were also ok, the pot stickers were fabulous. The won tons were the best dessert as usual. the server was great, he had no problem that we were not ordering entrees.

Pros:

Appetizers and Dessert

Cons:

none

We ate here twice during our holiday trip. The service both times was excellent. We had ADRs but arrived early and once waited about 10 minutes and were seated immediately the second time. We asked for window seating to view the Jingle Jungle Parade and were accommodated both times-- once at the end table on the 2nd floor directly overlooking the parade as it turns in front of the restaurant. The lo-mien is tasty, the mandarin orange chicken salad was fresh, tasty and huge. The tempura shrimp was ok but it was a very busy day. Portions were large for WDW and a great value on the DDP. Lettuce cup appetizer was very fresh and tasty. We asked for additional lettuce cups and got them with no hassle. The cheesecake and the fried wontons are excellent desserts. Yak and Yeti is always on our list of must do restaurants!

Pros:

Great food; large portions; EXCELLENT service

Cons:

None

Three strikes and Yak & Yeti is out.

I ordered the skirt steak, and it was terrible. It was like chewing on leather. When I told the server about how it was, the manager offered to get me something else. I went for the ribs. I have had them before, and loved them. They were so fatty. I ate what I could, and told the server and waiter it was fine.

The only this that saved the meal was dessert. The cream cheese wontons were excellent.

I think we'll skip this place from now on.

Pros:

Service and staff

Cons:

Fatty food

We met friends for lunch, and had made reservations online prior to our arrival 1 month prior. We were seated within 10 minutes of our scheduled time. Our waiter gave great suggestions on the variety of meals, and we were not rushed to leave. Food was fresh, and tasted great! You would not be disappointed in trying this restaurant!!

Pros:

great food, great service!

Cons:

none

We ate here on 11/11/13. I usually eat here when we are in the AK during lunch. Usually, I find the food to be outstanding. This time, it was just okay. I had the pot stickers, maple tamarind chicken and fried wontons. My DH had the seared ahi tuna, duck and fried wontons. The kids had the burger and fries and chicken and fries (the fries were to die for). My pot stickers were typical and nothing extraordinary, as was my chicken. Neither were bad, just not WOW! My DH's tuna was really, really good. His duck, just okay (really fatty, even for duck). The fried wontons were, as always, very good. The kids were fine with their food, just kinda bummed because the options were so limited.

I have (and will) eat here again. I would recommend it to someone who was in the park during lunch (I wouldn't go to the park just to eat there, though).

Pros:

Great service

Cons:

Food was just okay

Usually eat CS at AK because we love Flame Tree and Pizzafari, but decided to try Yak&Yeti. So glad we had a break from the heat. The air conditioning and ability to be served during the day was a much needed break. Although I love the food at Flame Tree, having to wait in line and then search for a shaded table really takes a toll. We were pleased with the lunch options. I liked the sweet & sour and DH liked the beef & broccoli. Kids were happy too. Definitely a place we will go back to now that our kids have outgrown the character meal at Tusker House.

Pros:

air conditioning, something different

Cons:

didn't take TiW card

I am consistently disappointed with Disney's dessert (except for 'Ohana's bread pudding), but not anymore! The cream cheese wontons rate right up there with 'Ohana. Our server was down to earth and fun. The entrees were good. Only complaint is, my curry had zero kick. Next time I will get the skirt steak and shrimp. The restaurant is supposed to reflect a rich man's mansion. He has supposedly ran into hard times and converted his home into a hotel and restaurant. The artifacts are actually from the area and we were encouraged to take a look around.

Pros:

Oh baby, the fried wontons!

Cons:

Curry. Restaurant closes so early.

Our server was very nice, however, after ordering our appetizers, we waited...and waited...until finally our entrees arrived. The problem was, we never got our appetizers. We were told that they would make us fresh entrees, but by the time they arrived 20 minutes later, it was clear they were the same entrees that had been put under a heat lamp. My daughter's entree was cold and the rest tasted like they'd been sitting around. That being said, the appetizers were delicious, wonton soup, wings and potstickers were excellent. Next time, I think we'd skip the entrees all together and just have some appetizers.

Pros:

Appetizers

Cons:

Service, Entrees
