The Little Yakitori Place in Happy Valley

Yakitori is a Japanese type of skewered chicken. Its preparation involves skewering the meat with kushi, a type of skewer typically made of steel, bamboo, or similar materials. Afterwards, they are grilled over a charcoal fire. From the name you tell, Yakitoritei is a restaurant that is good at making Japanese skewered chicken and also goes beyond just chicken.

This tiny shop, aka “燒鳥亭”, has been around in Happy Valley for a decade or so. It fills up quickly with diners, and with smoky barbecue aromas, making for a buzzing atmosphere. Sounds like a perfect place for just few friends to eat and chat? This also feels quite like the right sentiment of Happy Valley as a community.

The restaurant grills more than just chicken here, expect anything you can put on a skewer, from goose liver, to lamb chops and seafood to veggies. There’s a strong range of Japanese beers and sake to keep you lubricated while you chow down.

Address: G/F, 49-51 Sing Woo Road, Happy Valley
