I could have written the above almost word for word. Y&Y is okay and it is convenient if you are at AK. I like the mixed drinks. But I much prefer the food at Sanaa.
We are doing Sanaa on our AK day. I plan on getting to AK about an hour or so after RD, and staying there till about 4pm. We have dinner reservations at 5pm.
So in answer to your question - Neither. I would do dinner at Sanaa.
I like Y&Y and I love Sanaa, but would choose Y&Y for the convenience. I think the rest of my family would vote for Y&Y based on both menu and convenience, but that's because we have some picky eaters! I like the idea of lunch at Y&Y and dinner at Sanaa or Jiko!
if I were going to be at AK for the day i would not go to Sanaa for lunch simply because of the logistics of leaving a park and all the time that takes! you could easily loose 3 hours of park time worst case and 2 at the very least....Save Sanaa for a dinner ADR!!
We are not fans of Yak and Yeti...I wanted to be! The three entrees we had we only enjoyed one, the Duck and it was yummy! But I wouldn't go back! Service was slow also. I agree with the last post, I would save Sanaa for dinner, too much travel time. My son loves Flame Tree Barbecue for lunch in AK, yummy pork sandwich. Then we have a sit down dinner at one of the hotels.
If I had to pick a TS restaurant to eat at in AK I would pick Y&Y, but the truth is my family has been disappointed with the meals there. We try to avoid eating any TS meals at the AK. If we are on a meal plan we wait until we leave the park.
And we love Sanaa. Though as others have said here, we would not travel back/forth from the AK for lunch.
Whereas we thought Yak&Yeti (TS) was one of the best meals - possibly the very best meal - of our last trip. DH had duck, I had the maple tamarind chicken, and then we both swooned over the fried wonton dessert.
We arrived in time for rope drop and did grab a mid-morning bakery snack, then had lunch close to 2 pm. By then we needed to sit and cool off. Afterwards we were fine to go for several more hours.
I agree with everyone else. We really enjoyed our meal at Sanaa but Y&Y is more convinient. Since we take the parks easy we usually go to Sanaa for the better food
