"Yardbird was the first restaurant opened by Matt Abergel (a Masa alum) and Lindsay Jang, and they’ve since become legends in Hong Kong’s notoriously finicky restaurant scene. Their restaurant is almost five years old, and it’s still one of the hottest spots in town. Yakitori is the name of the game. Every part of the chicken is served, from skewers of hearts to crispy skin on rice. There are no reservations; queuing is part of the experience. And be sure to have a drink — the Japanese‐influenced beverage program is one of a kind. [$$$$]" - Janice Leung Hayes
