It sounds like they are looking to close is and maybe later put something people will eat like vegan meals, steak and taters, and desserts. I never ate there because I am not fond of veggies or raw food and with my allergies cannot have the soy. I am planning to try it one time before it closes.

Disney officials announced Thursday afternoon that Yamabuki restaurant, inside the Paradise Pier Hotel will close down April 11.
Some 39 hourly employees who work at the restaurant were informed of the pending closure during a closed-door meeting around 4 p.m. Thursday.
Disney spokeswoman Suzi Brown said the company will work to relocate some of those employees to other park restaurants. Those who cannot be placed elsewhere will receive at least 60 days pay as severance and an extension of some health care benefits.
A “handful” of salaried managers could either be relocated or lose their jobs, as well, Brown said.
“The concept of the restaurant no longer resonates with our guests,” Brown said. The closure was not related to other layoffs and staff re-organizations related to the sagging economy, she added.
The upscale restaurant at 1717 S. Disneyland Dr., originally opened in 1996 with a lunch and dinner menu. Meals averaged $20 to $30 per diner. The restaurant shortened its hours and discontinued its lunch menu within the last year.
Restaurant hours will remain as normal until the April 11 closure.
