   I made reservations several weeks in advance and asked for their best table for my daughter’s birthday. When we arrived we got a table next to the kitchen/bathrooms and a staff member was vacuuming. They crammed six of adults in a tiny booth. . I asked if we could move to the nice table in the window and was told they had a party of eight coming in. I was there for two hours and table stayed empty the entire time. They did move us on the other side of the restaurant after I complained about the noise level which was a better table than the original one. Food was good, service was slow and wait staff was friendly.

   Food is delicious and I appreciate all the vegan options! It can get very noisy.

   Dancing Yak is our all-around favorite SF restaurant for seven years. Flavorful food, kid friendly choices (momos, butter chicken, rice), they’re able to modify many dishes to remove cream and milk. The staff is experienced and thoughtful. Plus it’s generally easy to get a table if you arrive early (as we do with a family), or on off-peak nights. The prices are totally reasonable for what you get, I don’t have sticker shock. :)

   This was my first experience with Nepali food and each of us (2 omnivores and 1 vegan) enjoyed every bite. My cashew curry was superb and my friends enjoyed the lamb, goat and veggie dishes. Naan and roti were great. Our host was attentive and took care to confirm my allergy concerns with the kitchen. We enjoyed non-alcoholic drinks, although the alcoholic offerings seemed excellent. The Dancing Yak moves among places at the top of my list for casual dining with friends in San Francisco.

   The pork belly just melts in your mouth and the momos are a major win. Cocktails are strong and tasty. Definitely a winning place.

   We went for the name of the restaurant and it was phenomenal! I personally fell in love with the cheese naan and momo. Highly recommend!

   The food is really tasty, and most of the dishes had vegan options.

    Amazing experience! I've been here before but by no means a regular, the host/maitre'd *probably manager* sat us and checked on us regularly, and even comped us a vegan dish she wanted us to try! It was one of the best experiences I remember, and having worked in restaurants in SF for 12 years and having seen the steady decline in quality hospitality, this was a very welcome surprise! As we live REALLY close by, we are for sure on our way to becoming regulars. Thank you so much!
