Yardbird

Japanese   |   $ $ $ $   |   Sheung Wan

Frequented by the creative crowd in Hong Kong and beyond, Yardbird serves fresh chicken cooked to perfection in two dozen ways, complemented by an extensive drinks list

 

Boy, do these guys know how to grill. The yakitori—using nearly every part of a chicken—are the showstoppers, but even a poultry hater would leave impressed. The inventiveness and culinary skill that transforms bird offal carries over into every dish, like deep-fried sweetcorn balls and Korean fried cauliflower. The large industrial-chic space is manned by incredibly attentive and knowledgeable staff whose recommendations are spot-on: including which dishes to order as half-portions and which of their many Japanese whiskies to pair with them. The atmosphere may be casual, but the attention to detail to food and service is anything but.

Signature Dishes

  • Chicken meatball
  • Korean fried cauliflower
  • Chicken and egg rice

Tatler Tip

Arrive early if you fancy trying the menu’s more unusual chicken bits—sweetmeats sell out quickly.
