Reviews for White Yak in Philadelphia, PA
The food was delicious! I think the space is too small for the kind of volume they do. We got there at 5pm and it was full... already. The door being opened and closed often sent a cold draft into the room. The servers were also clearly overwhelmed, asthere were only two of them. Our water glasses were empty for the majority of the time, but despite these little pitfalls, Ireally enjoyed the experience. I?d 100% come back here. Don?t miss the fried rice or the chicken momma dumplings Read more
My friend Giana and I came here during a street festival and it was incredible! It wasn?t too busy even with all the action... outside and the food was INCREDIBLE. We got the pork mumu dumplings and I?m not kidding, best dumplings of my life. Each bitewas better and better. (They gave more than 4 but I was so in love with them I forgot to take the pic lol). We also shared thecurry and pitska and both were so amazing and well seasoned. The only thing we disliked was the butter tea because it wasextremely salty, but we didn?t know what to expect so that?s probably on us! If you get the chance to go here, DO IT!! Read more
The food quality just blew me away. It was our first time here and we wanted to try it all. Thenthuk is a soup new to us all and... we really liked the smooth broth and pleasant flavor of it. Everything was cooked to perfection, very fresh and tasty. Theblood sausage was awesome as well as eggplants. They were my favorite. The only complaint is that the meat in the curry sauceneeded to be cooked longer. It was little bit chewy, but the sauce tasted heavenly. If you haven't been here, do not hesitate.It's worth it!

For someone who want to try Tibetan food, this is really nice place. I liked their Chow-mein noodles and lentil soup. We tried... pan fried Momo's but I guess steamed would have been better. Also the taste was blend and the chilli oil didn't help much to ourIndian taste buds. We had lentil soup, Chow-mein veg noodles, thenthuk veg noodles and pan fried veg Momo's. Taste 2.5/5 (lotsof oil I felt, and flat noodles seemed bit uncooked, I am not sure if they were meant to be that way or not) Ambience4/5 Service 5/5 Serving 5/5 Price 3/5 Overall 3.5/5 Read more
It is an authentic Tibetan restaurant run by a Tibetan family. My wife was very excited to have a meal here. She almost lost... control of her emotion and was full of joy to enjoy food. Wow, from street foods that I ate in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, tovarious noodles and even Tibetan butter tea! If you are curious about Tibetan cuisine, this is a must-go place. In addition, youcan practice Tibetan if you want. I hope that it is in South Jersey to go every week! Read more
My wife and I went for dinner at this Tibetan restaurant. The servers were welcoming and greeted us very well. We ordered veg... fried rice , chilly chicken, veg momos combo and butter tea.I guess chicken momos would have been much better. Chilly chickenwas good not too spicy and had too much green pepper.Fried rice was ok. Veg momos was good but not a fan of potato ones andlastly butter tea was refreshing I never tasted it before.Overall a good place to visit for quick bites. Read more
Highly recommend. We had a table of 8 along with other patrons in the restaurant and the service was still on point and fast.... Servers were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I had the beef chili and it was amazing. The desert ?Housespecial desert? was delicious. Great family owned restaurant. Will be back soon. Read more
1. Every dish we got we liked. The spice level was consistent across all dishes (which was perfect for me) 2. But the food could... have used a little more flavouring. 3. The portion of rice was small. There was a lot of curry left over. 4. I would recommendthe Himalayan Momos and Chow Mein as well. Overall I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Read more
