"One of the first independent restaurants to really cause a stir in Hong Kong, Yardbird takes inspiration from Japanese yakitori (skewers) and always delivers a high-voltage night out. The food is not nearly as low-key or as cheap as what you’d find on the streets in Japan (in fact, the prices verge on ridiculous), but you can always count on a buzzing atmosphere, bumping music, and premium ingredients at this institution of cool." - Kate Springer
