bird's nest yakitori

really great little place. friendly efficientserviceand tasty good. what more could you want. the salad dressing with wasabi is great!

omg the best freakin' chicken karrage in brisbane! it's perfectly battered and fried, all the juices kept inside and served with lemon wedges and wasabi mayo. add the himalayan salt and chilli flakes to give it an extra kick. super nice fitout.servicecould be more friendly otherwise i'll give it a 5.

fantastic restaurant! the food is so delicious! best karage chicken i've ever had and i've been to japan twice! theservicewas perfect. fast, friendly and attentive. can't wait to bring all our family and friends here 10/10!

went for a dinner on a rainy saturday night. had to wait for about 30 minutes before i got a table. theservicewas wonderful; they were really friendly. the food came out quite fast as well. the prices were really affordable for the quality we got, but the yakitori was more on the expensive side. overall, a very good experience! wish i found this restaurant earlier.

we went last week ,nice restaurant will come back and goodserviceand ambiance 
and food was good so very nice i will highly recommend

my husband and i went to bird’s nest yakitori on a rare date night and it didn’t disappoint. we ordered the omakase set menu and it was to die for. everything from the broth to the yakitori wings were cooked to perfection, so much so my husband and i agree they are they best wings we’ve ever had!!

the atmosphere was excellent and theservicewas some of the best we’ve had, and to add the that, quite reasonably priced too.

we would highly recommend for a nice date night out, we will certainly be back the next chance we get!

we have been wanting to visit this charcoal ignited restaurant for so long and we finally got our chance for dinner. we ordered the chefs selection which included 8x yakatori sticks, pannacotta, chicken broth, salad and 30ml of chilled sake.

i’m a big cooker of food over live fire and charcoal and this chicken was on a different planet. texture and taste were faultless, that had me wanting more!

service was a little flat when we asked questions about the dishes, but otherwise fine.

we can’t wait to get back here!

love yakitori, love this place. there is an authentic japanese feel here, definatley reminds me of japan.the menu has some classic skewers, the chicken skin is one if my favourites skewers but the wagyu skewer is also amazing.serviceis great and food is served quite quickly. you cant go wrong with a pint of asahi and some amazing skewers.

great dinner out at birds nest. food and atmosphere was a great experience.servicewas a little slower sitting outside but this is expected when it gets busy.

birds nest is fantastic - i’ve been here three times now, two times with larger groups (around 10).

service;
each time, the staff have been so accommodating and theservicehas been second to none. coming here reminds me of my trip to japan, where theserviceis of the highest quality and you’re always greeted with a smile.

food;
the food here is to die for. don’t get me wrong - yakitori is not everyone’s thing, but if you’re willing to try something different, you will not regret it. i’d recommend the ‘set menu’ - with some sake!

atmosphere;
the space is just right. not too loud, not too quiet. being able to sit at the bar and watch the chefs is also really cool.

i love this place!

so, you're going to want to get negima, butabara, bonjiri and a grilled onigiri.  sit by the grill itself unless it's a stinking hot day, the view is well worth it.  yakitori is usually enjoyed with lashings of beer so grab whatever's on draft.

oh, you want to know if you should even go?  yes.  yes you should.

this is some of the best brisbane chow i've had.  superb interactive food.  excellent drinking food.  wonderful japanese food.  everything was crispy, well seasoned and deliciously smoky from the charcoal grill.

the decor makes it suitable for anything short of a romantic dinner or particularly stuffy business lunch.  you won't lack for things to drink from, choices on the menu or buzzy, urban ambiance.  your wallet might lack a bit afterwards, though; it's easy to rack up a bill here, grabbing just one more skewer.

service is always on point, friendly and efficient, if not particularly notable.  probably the least japanese part of the experience, but no worse off for that; japaneseserviceis in a highly-attentive class of its own (and frankly, might be unnerving in casual old brisbane).

go here for dinner with your partner.  have a birthday lunch.  celebrate tuesday.  it doesn't matter: go get food on sticks.  now.

came here tonight and got served a expired beer. told the waitress and she respond saying it's all good and it's ok to drink the beer within 6 month after the expiry date. hmm i guess you learn something new everyday�. but that was not the worst part, i told them i still don't think it's fine to drink a beer that's expired, at least that not how we do it in australia. the waitress reluctantly turned around and say alright i'll take it off the list and sounded like it was me that's trying to pick on them. well overall, extremely badserviceand i'm not drinking expired beer again. yep, i can read and 賞味期限 means expiry date, so don't try to trick me thanks.

i've been to japan several times and i have been to many yakitori bars over the years. the only issue with traditional yakitori bars is that i am a very large man, so i tend not to fit in the tiny cramped spaces.

fortunately, bird's nest yakitori captures the wonderful cuisine and tastes of a traditional yakitori bar, but in true western tradition offers much more personal space and elbow room. the best of both worlds.

i enjoyed all of the skewers i sampled, including the sasami, shiratama and italian.

the sasami was chicken tenderloin, grilled and served with mayonnaise and crunchy garlic - 4.

the shiratama was three delicately grilled and salted quail eggs, served with the yolks perfectly cooked (warm and gooey) - 4.

the italian included bocconcini, tomatoes and basil wrapped in pork belly. the bocconcini was just starting to ooze and the flavors complemented each other beautifully - 4.

great food and wonderfulservice- the owner was engaging with the customers and playful with the staff. i just loved her japanese/australian accent, which like the restaurant is the best of both cultures. i am a fan and will definitely be back.

not a place for a proper meal. skewers are too little to be full. also too salty. maybe good place to have a snack and drink. greatserviceand friendly waitresses.

great little spot to grab some protein heavy dinner delights. we found theservicewonderful and food overall very good. only a minor complaint that the pork belly was a little chewy. oysters, karaage, chicken yakitori and tofu were divine.
