White Yak

Bronzino fish over white rice and the cracked noodle soup is a must the red sauce that comes with the fish is delectable. This place never misses it is by far the greatest restaurant in Roxborough/Manayunk area. So Healthy, so Clean how can you lose??,... this place is amazing!I am a fan for life !.When I had Covid, I could only tolerate their cracked noodle soup, and that is what got me back on my feet again nothing more nothing less tons of cracked noodle soup.Thank you, thank you, thank you, White Yak and Staff.

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.

This was our first time visiting White Yak (we are always looking for new Asian restaurants in Philadelphia) and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is conveniently located at 6118 Ridge Avenue with some street parking. Upon walking into the restaurant, the staff welcomed and sat us at our table. They were very kind and attentive throughout our meal (it was my wife's first time eating Tibetan food and they explained the various dishes). The ambiance was very clean with nice décor throughout the restaurant.The highlight of the restaurant was the food! We tried a range of vegan/vegetarian and meat dishes. Each dish was flavorful, used fresh ingredients, and had good portions. Our favorite dish was definitely the combo momo and firecracker momo. We can't wait to come back and try new dishes!

Finally got some friends to try this restaurant that has been on my list to try for years! Most hear Tibetan food and go huh? It's in a cute area, never been in roxborough before. Street Parking was easy to find and free after 6pm. Restaurant is cute and was quite busy on a random Wednesday night! Service was warm and friendly. Servers had great recommendations for us and we ordered so much food for 3 girls lol. It's a beautiful area, great experience, affordable prices and BYOB. My faves were the lentil soup and the firecracker momos!

If you are a vegetarian or vegan, White Yak will be your new favorite restaurant! --Highlight: Many, if not all, veggie dishes are vegan too and the staff is very considerate of dietary restrictions or allergies. --It was my first time dining at White Yak and I have to say I will soon be back! Beginning with the La Ping, mung bean jelly noodles with house spicy sauce (A LOT of garlic, chilis/oil, scallions), I found the flavors and thick texture of the noodles to be fantastic. I honestly loved it so much, I ordered one to go! This was my favorite dish. Not too spicy, as I can't handle spice, and it was tasty! The fried vegan momo combo was crispy and flavorful. This was my friend's favorite dish! The shoko sisi was a little greasy for me, but honestly it was also a delicious dish. The carrot and potato were finely grated and crunchy, and not soggy. We used the la ping sauce on the shoko sisi to add a bit of spice! Lastly, the veg. chili chicken was uncanny in how much it resembled real beef. I actually stopped eating after the first few bites since I was scared it was actually beef I was eating! For me, this was a little unsettling, but for those trying to eat less meat, this would be a delicious substitute! The two entrees came with white rice and the portions were a good size for the two of us.The service was a little slow since it was SO packed, however the excellent food and friendly servers made up for this. The restaurant is clean, but loud when it is packed. Overall, White Yak has quickly propelled itself as one of my favorite restaurants of the Philly area. I highly recommend for any vegetarian or vegan folks!

Went here with a group of people. I purposely ordered things based on prior reviews. Some of my friends ordered things that probably could be ordered at other Asian restaurants within reason. But White Yak should continue offering because not everyone wants to be food adventurous. The cake had a good texture and they didn't make it too sweet- maybe used a bit of honey? On the menu, they do state that they charge $5 per bottle to open a wine bottle. I am not used to hearing of such a surcharge - is this a NYC or LA thing? Staff is friendly Would I come here again? Sure. Go out of my way for? Not so much.

Delicious food. We start with combo momo with beef, chicken, and veggies. All three fills are delicious and full of flavors! Cauliflower stir fry, nice and refreshing with the mango sauce, some sweet with a bit of pickle veggie. Thuk-ngo was good, it's like pad Thai without the nuts, definitely squeeze the lemon juice over it. The Tibetan style chicken curry, is good with the rice, great flavor overall.

I've driven past this place at least a 100 times and finally dropped in to check it out. Food was delicious. I've never had Tibetan food so this was a real treat to experience. We sampled a variety of dishes including the whole fish, Shatrak, Gha, and Momo. I'd recommend them all. The whole fish was the most unique dish I've had in a while. Flacky crust, rich sauce, and peppers sprinkled throughout. Service was excellent. Quick, efficient, and polite. Couldn't ask for more. BYOB - there is a $5 cork feeI'll be back to try more of this wonderful cuisine.

My Birthday Dinner!So, we've only had Tibetan food a couple of times, from one place where we used to live in Pittsburgh, and when my partner fund this place for my birthday she instantly wanted to go here. So, as a surprise to me, we did!Note: they only do reservations for groups of 6 or more. Ifyou've got 2-4 people, show up before 6:30. They're popular. But if it's after you probably won't wait too long.We got the Lentil soup, Pingsha entree, Phaktsee entree. Himalayan Momo with chicken and a cauliflower entree. Sharing ti all amongst the two of us. Everything was super flavorful and tasty, the momo and lentil soup drawing the most praise. Ask how spicy things are and the servers can guide you with the momos. The Himalayan ones are mildly spicy. Service was great and efficient, super personable, on a busy night for them. Everything was timed perfectly.Will be back to try more for sure!

I absolutely loved this place. Could everything be just perfect at one dining experience? The answer is yes, when at the White Yak. We had 4 dishes off the menu momo combo, la ping, tibetan curry, and shatrak. Food was amazing, aromatic and delicious. Great portion sizes relative to price. Service was great!
