Tokyo Bird

Wow what a great hidden spot in Surry hills! Their yakitori are well priced and portions match it. Everything was so tasty and cooked to perfection, well seasoned with delicious sauces. Loved the cabbage salad, salmon yakitori, Wagyu and chicken thigh yakitori. Cute moody and intimate spot! Great service from the lads who are super attentive and always replaced our water etc

Cozy and hidden in the middle of surry hills. The entryway tucked away in an alley, making it feel like some secret back-alley restaurant hahah. The food is great, but feels a bit pricey as it IS skewers. Love the vibe and the cute Ghibli movies playing in the main dining area. Theres another dining area on the other side where you have better view of the kitchen as well. depending on the atmosphere you’re going for, both sides provide different dining experiences. We were sat in the back area the first time, which was a bit quiet— making us feel like we were eating in a deserted restaurant. The second time we were sat in the main area with the rest of the customers and the atmosphere fit our vibe a bit more. The food i feel was inconsistent with some tasting really good and flavourful, and some lacking that flavour. Favourite dishes were the salmon skewers and the corn ribs!!! Omg the corn ribs are so good! All in all, we returned a few times cause the food was yummy and the drinks were unique (and also taste really good!!)

Cool casual place with vibes. We were sitting at the bar and our waiter was THE best (I think his name is Vinh), he explained my husband about the Japanese whiskeys with a lot of detail. We ordered the corns (a must) and these skewers: scallops (were missing something, wouldn’t recommend them), the thighs (yummie), the wagyu (good) and the pork with cabbage (yummie too). We skipped dessert but we will be back :)

Ordered cocktails and some nibbles. Love this cocktails, everything was very tasty. Service was fast. The Smokey cocktail smells so earthy and yum!

Fast becoming my favourite restaurant in Sydney. Incredible bites, stunning whisky range, and the service for both food and booze knowledge is second to none. Also, who doesn’t love to chill out with Ghibli in the background while chomping on delicious izakaya munchies? Shoutout to Yoshi, Michael and Vinh for making my friends and I feel like a million bucks twice in the space of 3 weeks - the bar has been set, Sydney!

Food was good. Selection of sake and whisky are amazing! Service and the bartender Michael were the highlight! Thank you for the wonderful evening! ❤️

The overall vibe and other dishes were decent, but the Yaki Ton (pork belly and cabage) were honestly disappointing. The pork belly consisted of just a few thin slices, and the “cabbage” was merely a small garnish of shredded red cabbage not an actual side dish as the menu name suggested. It felt misleading and not worth the price. For $8 per skewer, the portion and presentation were underwhelming. It really didn’t feel like good value. Definitely wouldn’t order this item again. but Negima(chicken thigh) was so nice

Beautifully decorated, whiskeys galore, top notch sake and absolutely pure authentic Japanese izakaya foodfare. Don't think twice about arabiki sausage, it's amazing. Scallops melted in your mouth. Coming from Melbourne for an impromptu trip, it's truly been an experience dining at Tokyo Bird. Thank you for providing a food experience I haven't been able to achieve since travelling to Japan.
