Hong Kong’s Golden Egg

Word travels fast; within just a few short weeks, news of Yardbird traveled the grapevine as one of the most talked-about restaurants in Hong Kong. This golden egg hotspot is a rare find in the wild – when you step in, you’ll quickly see what all the chirping is about.

High ceilings, bumping music, a hip scene and fun crowd. The concept is pared-back yakitori, with a simple menu divided by size, from small to yakitori to bigger.

Quick to land its place on our hotlist are the finest yakitori (skewered bites of meats and fish), nested beautifully alongside innovative cocktails, succulent wines and thoughtful choices of sake.

Veggies can eat their hearts out too by doubling-down on the ‘KFC’, elaborated as the delicious and nothing-left-to-be-desired Korean Fried Cauliflower.

You’ll join the cool local crowd in the know; this spot is beloved by HK foodies, likely because it doesn’t feel like a typical food destination trying too hard – it’s just plain spectacular at what it does without the fancy feather show.
