The best yakitori in Hong Kong, according to the experts: Eater, South China Morning Post, and Michelin Guide have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Torikaze comes out on top.
-
Rank 1. Torikaze
Yakitori Japanese
Forty-four floors above Central, this yakitori counter takes its guiding idea straight from the Japanese: one skewer, one lifetime. The chef trained under a Tokyo master, and the focus stays narrow, binchotan grill, precise cuts, seasonal vegetables, nothing asking for more attention than it should. Lunch runs to oyakodon and broth noodles; dinner is omakase. The prices, given the address and the altitude, will surprise you.

Rank 3. Birdie
Yakitori Japanese
Eighteen counter seats circle an open kitchen where skewers of thigh, wing, soft bone, liver, heart, and tsukune rotate over binchotan charcoal all night. Birdie is a yakitori bar on the ninth floor of H Code, loud and unhurried in the way a good izakaya tends to be. The chef cut his teeth at a respected Fukuoka yakitori house, and the chicken-forward menu shows it.
