I can't wait to try the counter service! I was so sad when the Tusker House switched to buffet style. This makes me so happy. Hope the food is as good as the theming.

Everyone I've talked to that has tried it was extremely disappointed. They were on the CS side though, so maybe the TS is better.

Just one question. If it's going to be the Yak and the Yeti... and they want to make it all authentic.... where's the snow cone? They should be lemon.

These are the jokes people blame Pixar.

I loved Tusker House too and was sad to hear of the change. The Y&Y sounds like it might be a good replacement.

the menu sounds alot like an ordinary Chinese restaurant. But the theme sounds awesome. Nice name!

Not sure why they made this a sit down restaurant after switching Tusker house. I'm disappointed. I loved the Tusker house before, as I'm not a big fan of buffets because I never eat enough to make it worth it.

It's about time that AK had a table service restaurant. The menu sounds good. I guess we'll have to try it out in May.

We LOVED Tusker House before the switch --oh my goodness the Harambe (?) chicken was so good. I had actually bought the Peri Sauce they used to make it at the local Stop & Shop but I don't see it there anymore.

Who wants to eat at a buffet in the hottest, most humid atmosphere in all of WDW!? They are crazy.
