Yor Yak

About Us

A young couple seized the opportunity and took over Thai Tara Restaurant on Vivian Street in early January 2022 with the help of their business mentor, friends and families. It has been a long-held dream of the owners to run a restaurant business in the heart of Wellington city. 

It was a challenging start, as it was the middle of the COVID-19 Pandemic, which may sound like a crazy time to be opening a restaurant, …” but we saw the potential and the possibility for success, despite the risks. We are young. If we fail despite our best efforts, life and other opportunities will not stop here, but provide some very valuable experience.”

From the 29th of July, “Thai Tara” will rebrand to “Yor Yak” for a seamless transition. The word “Yak” represents an aspect of Thai culture in the hearts of Thai people and was our inspiration to create this new branding.  It is our commitment to expand the boundaries of appreciation for Thai cuisine to the general public.

Iconic Yak Thai statues appear throughout Thailand, guarding the gates of religious temples. The Yak represents mythical, religious, artistic, cultural and militaristic significance for the Thai people.
