I haven't been this excited about a restaurant since Sushi Sase first opened on Hollywood road. Except, this time, I revisited Yardbird TWO nights in a row.. and plan to go again next week! YES.. that's just how Good it is.A chic little restaurant ground level on Bridges street, YARDBIRD gave me an "out of HK" experience the minute I stepped into the restaurant.

A chic little restaurant ground level on Bridges street, YARDBIRD gave me an "out of HK" experience the minute I stepped into the restaurant. The place was hip and packed with good-looking youngsters (including the staff), not advisable for the elderly or people who do not like to be in a noisy environment.
Before you visit Yardbird, here are some important facts to note down:
1) They do not take reservations.
2) They will not seat you until your WHOLE party has arrived - just like in New York!
3) They open at 6pm so that would be a great time to go as they are more flexible with the tables. Otherwise expect to sit at the bar or stand around it during busy hours.
** I LOVE the drinks selection at Yardbird. The chardonnay they serve by the glass is from Spain and is fantastic! They also have a good range of cocktails and shochu (funky flavour infusions too!). If you are a fan of Hitachino nest beer, you would be delighted to find a whole range of them.
Now on to the food... here are my FAVOURITES *
- Okra soba (one of their specials)
- Corn tempura balls ( a must ORDER!)
- Chicken meatball with egg yolk ( love the grilled flavour .. delish!)
- Fried korean style cauliflower (if you like kimchi you'd like this!)
- KFC friend chicken ( if you're a sucker for fried food)
- Seared yellowtail salad ( one of my FAVOURITES on the menu.. * light and healthy)
- Chicken oyster yakitori * (note that it is not a real oyster, just the best part of the chicken thigh)
- Mochi rice sticks ( I am def. not a mochi fan but THIS was something else! Crispy &* tasty.. a must order for mochi Lovers!)
- Crispy chicken skin with egg rice ( this was just INCREDIBLE *)
- CURRY SAUCE.. got a side of this to go with my rice but at Yardbird they actually do a SHORT RIB JAPANESE CURRY. this was Drool-worthy AMAZING.
* Yardbird does lots of different parts of yakitori chicken .. chicken heart, liver, neck, gizzard .. you name it!
*** Must say YARDBIRD is the ONLY place in HK where I would actually eat chicken skin .. let alone a Crispy version of it! Yardbird just does fried chicken skin the RIGHT WAY!
At the moment, Yardbird only serves Peanut butter icecream for dessert, but i must say it is the LIGHTEST icecream I've ever tasted in HK. Almost like mousse ... would like to see more japanese influenced desserts on the menu. Overall, a great start as Yardbird has only been opened for 6 weeks! * The head chef Matt is also extremely nice and cute!
* The bathrooms are extremely very clean &* nicely designed. Only one person can go in at the time. Perfect for OCD people! *
YARDBIRD is definitely my new favourite place in town, I'm really looking forward to trying the rest of the dishes on the menu and would recommend any food lovers to check it out... but remember... you must go early coz the place fills up QUICK! ;)
