I can't recommend this place enough. This is my new favorite restaurant. The food is soooooo good and you get the feeling it's the real thing as the restaurant was full of Tibetan customers. Prices are super reasonable too. Very peaceful, spiritual vibe inside and good people. Check it out!!!

Yes, they do serve yak.. The city's Tibetan restaurants have something of a captive audience: If you want yak for dinner, where else are you going to go? That said, this seedy but loveable joint on Roosevelt Avenue isn't for everyone. The food is heavy and there is a preponderance of clarified yak butter, but a few things stand out--for instance, a version of Tibetan potstickers and the various dal bhat (rice and lentil) dishes that make up the mainstay of the Himalayan diet, which are similar to dishes served in Indian restaurants. As for the Yak? It tastes like a cross between beef and lamb, and is well worth a try.
