White Yak Restaurant

Overall great food, especially in an area with not a lot of option. Each portion is quite big. Some dishes are a little too salty but good seasoning overall. For the noodles, they stir fry it with the Korean bean sprouts, which I don't like; I think it would be better with the thin bean sprouts. For the veggie dish, there's bell pepper in their, which I also don't like. The dessert is pretty bad, it feels too much and also tastes nothing like chuối chiên.

White Yak is a fantastic spot for flavorful Himalayan cuisine! This is my first time try this recipe. We tried a variety of dishes, and everything was delicious. The beef Himalayan momos were perfectly seasoned and came with a rich, flavorful sauce. The Thenthuk soup was hearty, with tender beef and fresh, handmade noodles that made it so comforting. The Sha Palay (fried dumplings) was crispy on the outside and filled with tasty goodness inside. The Shoko Khatsa added a wonderful touch of spice to the meal.

Incredible food! Big portions Order: Beef satay: 3 pieces. Good. Only get if you need some quick protein Momo with pork: 8 pieces and a great sauce. These are huge and ain’t your standard dumpling. Gha (eggplant): absolutely incredible! This will win over a carnivore. Tasty, sour, sweet, and spicy eggplant roasted perfectly with a soft interior and crispy edge. Don’t miss these! Served with rice Curry with chicken: looks small but packs a big punch. Served with rice. Pour the curry over the rice and enjoy!

Food was great! Got the veggie momo combo pan fried and the goat curry. The potato filling momo was my favorite of the three. The sauce was delicious. Curry was my favorite bite. Goat was soft and broth was very good. Had to order another bowl of rice to pair with it! Had dinner there on the same day as the Oktoberfest so it was busy. Service also took quite long, about 20 min for our food to come out. Think it was due to the crowd that day. Was also loud because of how packed it was, which can't be helped but definitely something to know if noise level is something you're considering for your dinner atmosphere.

It's not often to find a Tibetan Restaurant, anywhere. We were fortunate to find one in Roxborough. Although we cannot validate the authenticity of actual Tibetan cuisine, since we have not had a chance to visit that part of the world, we can say that the dishes they serve are quite flavorful, and unique in tastes. The staff was friendly and attentive to our needs. The interior decorations were quite nice and reflective of the region. Be prepared to spend some time for dining, as the wait time tends to be on the longer side. However, you'll find the dishes exquisitely prepared, and in good portion size. This place is a must try if you're in Roxborough.

It was pouring down when we went and this place was packed, that’s a very good sign. The food was amazing and the service too. Momos are the star of the show. Chicken shatrak was also good.

I went to the restaurant around 6:20 PM on Saturday night and waited for about 35 minutes. Even though the wait was long, the food was so delicious that it made the wait worthwhile. I don't know much about Tibetan food, but it tasted like a mix of Indian and Chinese flavors. I was surprised by the Tibetan-style curry because it reminded me of Japanese curry, but with richer spice flavors. I’d love to have the curry and the eggplant dish (Gha) again. I would recommend arriving earlier to minimize wait times on weekends.

EDIT: My son is 9 so a high chair was not even part of the discussion and I specifically spoke to the person who seated us about my dissatisfaction with the dish (bc the waitress did not once check on us) and was told "I'm sorry" and she walked away after I specifically pointed out how watery it was. **** I can't say 1 positive thing about this restaurant. I tried to book a table online and it said they only took reservations for tables of five or more so then when we arrived, I was offered a table for two with a chair in the aisle for my son even though there was a four top table available. I was told that there was a reservation for that table. A table of four. We ordered the satay as an appetizer which came out dry and with no flavor - wait, I can praise the plum sauce. That was yummy. My husband ordered the Momo dumplings as an entrée. Those came out after the satay, but before the other two entrées we ordered. But before I continue to complain about my bland meal, let me just tell you how ridiculously loud it is in this restaurant. There is no sound proofing. Our son is autistic, and while I kept worrying about his comfort level as he has sensory needs, even I contemplated asking for paper napkins that I could stuff in my ears. SO LOUD. Anyway, the other two entrées finally came out and when they brought out my curry, they told me that they were out of rice and that another customer was OK with chow mein instead. I should've jumped on that offer. Eight minutes later, I was not brought the jasmine rice that is supposed to come with the entrée, I was brought what was probably a microwaved product that they likely bought from Acme up the street. The woman who directed me to the smaller table, seems to be the manager or the person in charge. Our waitress literally never once did anything other than take our order. She did not come back and check on us. She did not ask if everything was OK and when there was something we needed we had to get up and ask the other woman for those items. When I asked why there were no tomatoes or onions in my curry. I was told they were already in there when they obviously weren't. What I got was a bland watery Dryad out chicken mess with white rice likely from the local grocery store. And when I complained about how tasteless and watery it was, I got told sorry and they walked away from the table. Dreadful.
