Thanks for the info!

Hmmm. I hope they have some veg options on the menu. If so, I think we'll give it a go in a couple of weeks.

 

[Imagineer5]

Doesn't sound upscale or Asian Fusion to me...

 

[disneygal2007]

Great thanks I had been wondering what kind of food will be there

 

[TangaroaTiki]

Thanks! Looking forward to trying it out in January.

 

[Laura]

Hmmm. I hope they have some veg options on the menu.

Me too. From the list, it just sounds like egg rolls. Maybe.

Oh well.

 

[jessyj1977]

I have to be honest, I am disappointed by this. This sounds just like another Chinese food place.

 

[*NikkiBell*]

I agree. This is a *HUGE* let-down. I honestly thought that this would help AK become more of a full day park. Unfortunately, the menu is nothing less than boring. Why another Chinese restaurant? There is 100% NOTHING special about that as you can get chinese food anywhere in the US. I expected something much better like an Asian fusion experience or Thai.

Definitely a mistake here.

 

[jennynoel]

Sounds like pretty typical Chinese fare. I would bet they will have veggie options, though. My SO loves Chinese food and always gets some kind of veggie stir-fry with tofu any place we go. I'm sure Yak & Yeti will have a similar option.

Menu sounds reminiscent of P.F. Changs, actually. Which restaurant group is running this again?

 

[jennynoel]

No DPP for CS or TS in 2007? What a bummer. I guess we won't be trying it at all in December.

Landry's, which isn't particularly well-known for having exotic menus.

 

[roselark]

I was hoping to see some Indian dishes...

 

[BoomNLeon]

I just hope the hype matches the experience! We will find out in January...

 

[LarryJ]

If that menu is correct Y&Y is off the list and the FT BBQ looks and sounds better than what Y&Y might offers at least at AK.

[Micca]

I didn't really have high expectaions, so this looks good to me.

 

[redoschi]

don't forget there is BOTH a counter service and a table service so there might be some things for either that are not listed here yet. I guess we'll know for sure on wednesday!

 

[Uncleromulus]

That menu is terribly underwhelming--a real stretch of the term "pan-Asian".

 

[Goofyish]

As a lover of Indian food I was really looking forward to this restaurant - but it looks like it's just a pretty standard Chinese

The Himalayan region is neighboured by Nepal, Indian and Tibet not China (although Tibet is part China). I would have expected at least a representative offering of cuisine of the area

 

[BCV23]

That menu is terribly underwhelming--a real stretch of the term "pan-Asian".

I agree. Let's hope there's more on the menu.

Goofyish, how would a nice curry do? You know, I've never had a proper curry.
