Yardbird (Moved) New Location

This two level fusion yakitori restaurant is packed with people once the sunsets. As it is always full, we got there a bit early at around 1900 to avoid waiting. The yakitori all tasted really delicious. I am a chicken lover, and my fav is the chicken oyster, super tender boneless chicken. I was also expecting the chicken and egg rice. It was delicious, I love the crispy chicken skin on top tog with the soft and moist fried rice. A place I would go back for!

有曰本朋友介紹有cnn推介的光環。位干我喜愛旬上環地段。簡约現代可惜位置好窄好嘈。食物方面亦讓我們失望。sweet corn tempura据waitress 稚介是signature dish. 可惜同吃地捫粟米粒罐頭差別不大。卻付费120大元。 唯一好處悬没有一嘴麵團。Ume thigh這串燒還不错。但我認為雞味未如在荔枝角的鵜舞居酒居。也不夠香。 炸魚物造型不错。 肉還有點juicy.但外面乾了些且大清淡了。Clam 鳥冬udon texture毫不像udon. House sake 倒不错。入口容易適合我等初入行者。

説這店有叮噹的隨意門, 沒有誇張一個星期二的晚上, 我朋友建議來試此店由上環地鐵站, 徐徐走上山, 上了幾條樓梯, 在必烈者士街寧靜的一端找到這家店門外看, 店内燈火通明, 地方很小, 只見有吧枱, 很多外國人站着飲酒Receptionist 説大概要等45分鐘, 朋友早説過他們不接受訂枱, 只是沒想到星期二的晚上也要排隊....這樣反而令我想等,看看他們有甚麼本領在附近的PMQ行了差不多40分鐘, 電話響起, 有枱了!走進店內, Receptionist認得我, 向前多走幾步便看到樓梯, 直通basement原來basement才算dining area, 但着實很細, 只有10多張枱吧見openrice寫着人均消費$401-800, 怎麼覺得跟這環境不相襯?Anyway, 點菜吧!Openrice有人推介Corn Tempura, 首先眼睛流口水, 兩個比我拳頭細D既炸粟米波波出現預左粟米是甜的, 拆粒加粉漿搓成一個波咁炸, 不會驚喜, 但食得開心"KFC" Korean Fried Cauliflower因名字特別而叫的, 成品也很特別, 只需想像韓式炸雞內裏換成椰菜花焦糖化的韓

Ok so I've been quite a few times to the hype Yardbird. Time to give it a review. FOODFor the two of us, we ordered quite a few yakitori: thigh, breasts, wings, fillet, meatball. Our favorite by far was the meatball which is ground meat with tare/egg yolk sauce. We absolutely loved this one. The others were ok but nothing really special. We re-ordered a couple of yakitoris as the portions in itself are "cheap" but rather small. I guess that's the trick with tapas/yakitoris restaurants. The price

I can never resist the chicken oyster!!!  Have been to yardbird for many times but it's getting more and more popular. Nowadays you can only get chicken oyster if you get seated in the first round. Here are my orders:Corn tempura - There aren't much flavour but just the original taste of the corn. They usually give you one tempura per person but girls may prefer to have one for two people each to avoid given it's friend foodOyster - It's not seafood but a part of chicken. According to the waiter

聽聞Yardbird很火紅，又不接受訂位，於是未夠六點已到達，幸好馬上有位。第一次來，什麼都點一些，試多幾款。食物都是即叫即做，雖然要等，也是值得的。自己特別喜歡吃粟米，點了Sweet corn tempura. 弄成一個粟米圓球，外型趣緻、香脆可口。露筍上除了有醬汁，還有一隻新鮮蛋，侍者在我們面前混合好，組合特別，出奇的美味。meatball & oyster 都肉嫩多汁，全都是送酒的菜式。Mussels合格，但沒有以上的菜般特別。最後來的飯，等了很久，但超級好味，內裏有烤脆了的雞皮，一下子就全消㓕了！醬汁有心思，烹調用心，有驚喜。店鋪給人很relax的感覺，侍者亦輕鬆帶微笑，唯一人多時比較嘈。Yardbird的盛器頗似中學做實驗的鐵盆，有自己的性格和特色。走時還送上小包辣椒，很窩心，I'll be back!

Yardbird is a restaurant I’ve been wanting to visit for a while. They call themselves an izakaya but most of their dishes have a slight western flair to it.The restaurant is located in Soho close to Sheung Wan, but we made the mistake of walking up Ladder Street to reach it. Steep stair cases under 30 degree weather is no joke…Since it was a Thursday we got seats pretty easily. They don’t take reservations so I’ve heard about how difficult it could be to get a table on busier nights. We even got

Some good dishes, but some are way to heavy tastes. Ones receommended like chicken skin, chicken wings, meat balls, tuna salad.Tried a new dish, minced meat with tofu, it was way to salty.Lot of sake choices if you are a fan, then they have a kim-chi mojito, is good too.

Yardbird is an achingly hip place in Sheung Wan area. It is also one of the 50 best restaurants in Asia. As though that really means anything. I don’t usually go for restaurants in the who’s who list but I kinda like Yardbird. I have always wanted to come back to Yardbird after the first time I tried it in 2012. It suits us that this place have a no reservations policy, as we arrived a little before 7 on a Thursday evening. To start off, I had a ginger ale to quench my thirst. The brand offered

很久以前聽過朋友推介Yardbird，於是便跟她說好了一起來。可是由於這裡不設訂座，我們曾試過八時左右來到，竟被告知要等兩小時。說了差不多半年，這個月終於可趁著她生日，有藉口來這裡跟她慶祝。我來到的時候還沒人齊，故我們還不能入座，數個人只能靠著bar檯站，喝酒聊天。先點來有西瓜在內的Jolly Rancher ($90)，西瓜混上梅焼酎，第一口還有點像藥水，可是喝著喝著便習慣了，酒味不重，被甜味搶過了風頭。相對比較喜歡朋友點的Yaki Lime ($90)，以烤過的青檸加上冧酒和薄荷製成Mojito，有特色且十分可口。除了網上也有的Regular Menu，牆上還掛著一塊是日精選的板子。是日精選的Razor Clam ($80)，中式炒蟶子大家都有吃過，這裡換上以七味粉調味，令蟶子更添辛香。不過略嫌蟶子肉分得太細碎，沒有大口大口嚼著的快感。侍應推介的Sweet Corn Tempura ($85)，香甜粟米組成球狀，炸得金黃香脆，咬下並不碎散，簡單佐以鹽和胡椒便成一道精美小吃。Meatball ($42)，早就有聽過這裡的雞肉丸跟日本正宗的つくね不一樣，但侍應再三推介，在坐的朋友也沒所

No reservations allowed at this hot robatayaki eatery, but rocking up at 9.15pm on a Thursday evening we were hoping there would not be a wait. Peering through the entrance we could see the restaurant was packed, but upon asking for a table for two we were immediately directed to a table downstairs. No wait~!Yardbird specialises in chicken robatayaki where a large part of the chicken is dissected and grilled for customer's enjoyment. Besides from skewered chicken, they also offer a variety of ap

Yardbird is a restaurant that has exceeded my expectations on every front. Similar to 22 Ships, there is a no reservations, no service charge policy so we had to get here at 6pm to avoid waiting in line. My friend was already here at 5:50pm and a line had started to form. I was just getting off the mtr at 6pm and had to rush to the restaurant as they wouldn't seat my friend without all of the party present. Luckily there were still seats by the time I got there and we chose to sit at the bar whe

It's safe to say that Matt Abergel, the owner-chef of Yardbird, knows something about Japanese cooking. After all, here's a guy who has worked at the 3-star Michelin Japanese restaurant Masa in New York for an extensive period of time and was later the head chef of Zuma Hong Kong.But Chef Abergel's latest project, Yardbird, was a little different this time. Instead of sushi and oden, this place primarily serves Japanese style skewers covering every part of a chicken from neck and liver to knee a

Yardbird. Backed with Chef Matt Abergel and Zuma's fame. Ranked no. 46 of the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2013. Famous for its awesome atmosphere, drinks range and (of course) food; infamous for its no reservation policy (we showed up before 6pm on a Saturday and was shocked to see that there was already a queue outside.  The restaurant was completely filled by 6:05pm and people were standing around the bar area enjoying good drinks).  = It is the bar area with several extra tables as you enter

Dining at Yardbird can sometimes be frustrating, because it is hard to get a table. Weekday is probably a better time to try Yardbird as it is definitely less crowded. So does Yardbird really live up to the hype? Actually it depends what you are looking for - Food, Drink or Vibe. Food wise, there were several dishes that impressed me. Drink wise, they have an extended drinks list and I love their whisky collection. If you are coming in a party of two, Yardbird is not in romantic settings and mig
