This is one of my favorite spots, you walk in the door and you are hit with the amazing aromas of the wonderful dishes. The food here is always delicious and if you like spicy, they can make the dishes to your liking. My experiences here are always top notch at Dancing Yak.

It is the place to heal the soul with good food and good service. I had the 40-yoke pasta with black truffles and it was divine. The service was great, as always.
