"Yardbird, Sheung Wan Upper. The vibe in this hip restaurant is up, up, UP with the friendly and informative staff, pumping music and air of happiness brought on by the exquisite food. Yardbird specializes in Japanese-style yakitori dishes of skewered grilled chicken, order many so you don’t miss out on the amazing flavors. Different parts of a chicken are grilled over charcoal – thighs, wings, heart, liver and so on. Other ingredients feature too like the duck meatballs and pork belly I tried recently, both brilliant. There’s a fantastic drinks menu here with a great range of sake, try a glass of the Kokonoe Saika Junmai Daiginjo, it is sublime. Yardbird has had a huge buzz about it ever since it opened in 2011, there are queues almost every night I walk by. It totally lives up to all the accolades, it is an absolute pleasure to spend an evening here and worth lining up for."
