When we ate at Yak and Yeti counter service last year, our meal included the entree, dessert and drink. We ordered the honey chicken and it came with white rice. We were'nt given an option to choose a side however we didn't ask.
You don't get a side just the entree there. If a side is included in the meal than you get it- if it is a seperate price then you can use a snack credit to get it.
