The MouseHub take

Yak & Yeti is an air-conditioned, sit-down restaurant in Asia, and reviewers arrive for the cold room as much as for the food. Landry's has run it since November 14, 2007, inside a Nepalese-style building whose statues and artifacts guests keep stopping to look at. The menu covers more ground than the name suggests: Chicken Tikka Masala at $28.79 sits a few lines from Beef Chow Fun, Thai Basil Chicken, and a Miso Salmon at $33.99, with burgers and nine kids' entrees at $11.99 for anyone who wants none of that.

Plan it for the middle of a park day. The menu's Shareables are priced and portioned for two, which is how families here keep the bill down, and the upstairs room is where reviewers go when the main floor gets loud. The complaints are consistent: long waits without a booking, plates arriving lukewarm, and furniture that crowds the aisles downstairs. Lunch and dinner run off one identical card and the kitchen stops at 6:50 PM, so this is a lunch or an early dinner rather than an evening out.

At a glance

Best for
Families who want an air-conditioned sit-down meal mid-day, with a menu wide enough for a table that cannot agree on anything
Skip if
You are touring on a tight schedule or want something light before an afternoon of rides
Worth ordering
Ahi Tuna Nachos, Firecracker Shrimp, Chicken Tikka Masala, Fried Wontons, Lo Mein
Reservations
Reviewers who walk up without a booking report long waits for a table, and the ones who got in planned ahead. Reservations open 60 days out at approximately 6:00 AM, and My Disney Experience also offers Join Walk-Up List on the day
Value
Portions are what reviewers point at when defending the bill. Disney's price band tops out at $34.99 and the menu goes past it, with the Bhaktapur Duck and the Hibachi Steak & Shrimp both at $40.99. On the 2026 Dining Plan it takes 1 Table-service meal at either seating

The good

  • The air conditioning does a lot of work
    Asia in August is punishing, and reviewers describe an hour indoors here as the reset that got them through the rest of the day.
  • The upstairs room is the quiet one
    A second dining room sits above the main floor, with windows looking down on the walkway. Reviewers who ask for a table up there describe a calmer meal.
  • The Shareables are built for splitting
    That section of the menu says Meant for 2, and its five plates run $16.99 to $23.79. Families report ordering those and a side instead of an entree each.
  • The kids' menu runs long
    Nine kids' entrees at $11.99, chicken tenders and mac and cheese included, each with two sides and a drink. Parents say their least adventurous eaters ate without a fight.
  • The room rewards a look around
    Statues and artifacts fill the dining rooms, and guests report spending part of the meal looking at them.
  • The menu covers a lot of Asia
    Indian, Chinese, Korean, Thai, and Japanese plates on one card, from Chicken Tikka Masala at $28.79 to Beef Chow Fun at $24.99.

The bad

  • Walking up without a booking means waiting
    Reviewers who arrive without a reservation describe long waits outside in the sun before a table opens up.
  • The main floor gets loud
    The downstairs room runs noisy through the lunch rush, and guests hoping for a quiet sit-down say conversation was hard work.
  • The furniture crowds the aisles
    Heavy chairs and tables downstairs leave narrow gaps, and reviewers describe a squeeze getting through to a table.
  • Plates turn up lukewarm
    Cold food after a long wait is the complaint that recurs most among the unhappy reviews here.
  • It can read as a chain restaurant
    Landry's operates this one rather than Disney, and some diners say the menu and the service pull them out of the park.
  • The kitchen shuts at 6:50 PM
    Disney posts 10:30 AM to 6:50 PM every day, so the dinner menu here is an early one and a late table is not on offer.

Veteran tips

  • Book it 60 days out
    Dining reservations open 60 days ahead at approximately 6:00 AM, and guests with a Disney Resort hotel booking take the whole stay in one sitting.
  • Join the walk-up list from your phone
    My Disney Experience offers Join Walk-Up List here, so a party without a reservation can put its name down and keep walking rather than stand at the podium. There is no Mobile Order at this one.
  • Ask the host for the upper level
    Reviewers who name the upstairs room describe a quieter meal than the one downstairs. Ask while you are checking in rather than after you sit.
  • Split two Shareables instead of two entrees
    Ahi Tuna Nachos at $23.79 and Crab Rangoon Dip at $20.49 both sit under Meant for 2, and the pair costs less than two of the $28.79 specialties.
  • Leave room for the Fried Wontons
    Skewers of pineapple and cream cheese wontons with vanilla ice cream, $14.49, and the dessert reviewers name more than any other.
  • Eat light before Expedition Everest
    The coaster is a short walk away in the same land, and guests who order the heavier curries first say they regretted it.
  • The counter next door is the fast version
    Yak & Yeti Local Food Cafes trades 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM with pork egg rolls at $8.99 and chicken fried rice at $7.99, and nothing to book.
  • Do not hold out for the dinner menu
    Lunch and dinner run the same list at the same prices, so an earlier seating costs you nothing.
