Via Napoli, Yak & Yeti or Coral Reef?

[Momma_Lanier]

Which is the better of the 3?
We’ve never done Via Napoli or Yak & Yeti. We liked Coral Reef when we did it a few years ago but I’ve heard the food quality has gone down. It’s almost ADR day and we are doing mostly character meals (did bounce back for free dining) but I wanted a couple non-character meals. OR if there’s another restaurant we should try, let me know!

We've never been to Coral Reef, but like both Via Napoli and Yak & Yeti. The food is so different from each other, it's hard to choose a best one though. Yak & Yeti is probably a better deal on the dining plan.

Of the 3, Yak and Yeti is my favorite. Yak and Yeti and California Grill are the only 2 restaurants we go to every trip.

 

[KenHutch]

By far Yak & Yeti

 

[ThePrincess&TheJohn]

I'd probably go with whichever park I wanted to be in, but I would rank (for food and theming): Yak and Yeti, Via Napoli, Coral Reef

 

[dngrmys]

We prefer Via Napoli over the other two.

 

[smiths02]

I would rank them: Via Napoli, Yak & Yeti, and then distant Coral Reef
However, I think you can get some interesting eats in Epcot with quick service and snacks, so I might pick Yak & Yeti as I like having a place to take a break and sit in Animal Kingdom.

 

[MainMom]

No to Coral Reef.

I can’t choose between Yak & Yeti and Via Napoli so I say both!

 

[Elsaspiritanimal]

Yak & Yeti is so good! Try the dragon roll it's worth it right there!

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

Via Napoli by a MILE... at least. We've done the other two and will never go again. Mediocre food at best, and I had terrible service at Y&Y three times -- gave up after that.

 

[AngiTN]

Both.
Yak and Yeti
Then Via Napoli

Run as far and fast away from Coral Reef as you can. Awful.

Curious, because I think it makes a difference in my experience at least, are you a Landry Card holder?
I have noticed a significant change in service since we joined.
It shouldn't make a difference but I guess with Landry, it does.

No - not a card holder. As you say, that really shouldn't make a difference. Didn't realize this, but that's all the more reason NOT to go in my book! And honestly, the food there is just ok IMO. We prefer to split our AK eating between Tiffins and Tusker House.

They have me hooked with the Ahi Tuna Nachos or I'd be willing to skip them myself. I'm not a big fan of Landry properties in general. I will not eat at Rainforest or T-Rex for instance, they are just awful and over priced even when not at Disney property. (in the case of Rainforest).
Well, and my DH is even more a fan than I am. He is addicted to their burger.
We do Yak and Yeti for 1 meal and Tiffins or Nomads for another.
And squeeze in Satuli' somewhere too.

I hear ya'! I am a HUGE Ahi Tuna fan, so probably best that I don't recall ever having that there...

 

[Angharad]

We absolutely despised Via Napoli. Very, very loud restaurant and the worst service of a 28 day trip. I'm a massive Italian/pizza fan so I really really wanted to like it but nope.
We love Yak & Yeti, definitely the best asian food we've had in the world. Haven't been to Coral Reef for a few years. They're different restaurants entirely. We're doing both on our upcoming trip. YY because we love the food, Coral Reef because we want my first-timer boyfriend to experience the unique atmosphere.

Then I guess I shouldn't tell you about my favorite menu item at Yak & Yeti ...
Seared Tuna Salad - chilled, seared blackened ahi tuna, mixed greens, grape tomatoes, wonton crisps and ginger dressing $16.99

NOOOO!!!

Normally I don't ask since these things are so subjective, but this really surprises me! What other types of Asian restaurants have you been to?

Maybe they meant the World as in WDW? Heaven knows it's not hard to beat the other Asian options at WDW
