About Wild Yak

Northcote regulars know Wild Yak as High Street’s late-night lifeline for handmade Tibetan cooking. When nearby kitchens close their doors after 9:30 PM, this warm dining room keeps dishing out crisp signature fried beef momos alongside steamed chura cheese dumplings. Diners lean into generous plates built for sharing—hearty beef thentuk soup, radish chicken, and sweet-and-sour Sha Nyamo-Kyurmo scooped up with steamed tingmo bread.

  • Handmade Momos: Signature fried beef, steamed chicken, and chura cheese dumplings rolled by hand.
  • Hearty Tibetan Mains: Substantial, sharing-friendly portions of beef thentuk, radish chicken, and Sha Nyamo-Kyurmo.
  • Late-Night Kitchen: A reliable High Street kitchen serving hot dinner late into the evening past 10 PM.

Before you head over

Practical tips on timing, ordering, and expectations for your visit

  • Late-Night Dining & Parking

    Wild Yak keeps its kitchen serving late when other neighborhood spots are closed, making it a reliable option for hot food past 9:30pm or 10:30pm. Street parking is available right outside.

  • Pacing Handmade Orders

    Because authentic dishes like handmade momos are prepared fresh, wait times can occasionally be longer during service. Order signature momos right away to get the meal moving smoothly.

  • Navigating Traditional Flavor Profiles

    First-time diners should note that traditional Tibetan cooking emphasizes delicate, mild seasoning rather than heavy spice, which some find milder than expected. Pair rich signature momos with hearty main dishes to balance flavors.
