When it comes to dining at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, one restaurant stands out for its bold flavors, detailed theming, and unique cultural blend: Yak & Yeti. Located in the Asia section of the park, this fan-favorite restaurant brings together Southeast Asian and American-inspired dishes in a setting that feels like a treasure trove of history and adventure.
The Story Behind Yak & Yeti
Step inside Yak & Yeti and you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled into an old explorer’s home turned inn. The décor is filled with artifacts, hand-carved statues, and vibrant colors, creating a setting that’s as immersive as the food is delicious. Every corner tells a story, making it more than just a meal—it’s an experience that transports you far beyond Orlando.
What’s on the Menu
Yak & Yeti offers pan-Asian comfort food with something for everyone, from adventurous eaters to picky palates.
Guest Favorites Include:
Ahi Tuna Nachos – A mountain of fresh tuna, wonton chips, and wasabi aioli
Lo Mein Noodles – A classic with your choice of chicken, beef, or shrimp
Crispy Honey Chicken – A sweet and savory fan favorite
Bhaktapur Duck – Roasted half duck with plum BBQ sauce
Mango Pie – A bright and refreshing finish
For those who enjoy cocktails, Yak & Yeti also serves an impressive list of specialty drinks with tropical and Asian-inspired twists.
Why Reservations Can Be Tricky
While not as impossible to book as Cinderella’s Royal Table or Be Our Guest, Yak & Yeti remains one of Animal Kingdom’s most sought-after reservations. Its central location, unique menu, and air-conditioned respite from the park’s heat make it a go-to choice for many families. Peak times (like lunch between rides on Expedition Everest and Kali River Rapids) often book up fast.
