Tokyo Bird is a little gem where creativity meets craftsmanship! 🍸✨ It’s refreshing to see a bar that genuinely pushes the boundaries of mixology, experimenting with innovative cocktails and taking their talents to competitions. The bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, crafting beautifully complex drinks with fascinating layers of flavour. Every cocktail feels like a little adventure for the taste buds. Clearly, these birds know how to fly beyond the ordinary! 🐦🥃

The sushi and sashimi were excellent, and the sushi rice outstanding. Chef skilled and meticulous. Service was on point and unobtrusive. Aspects that can be improved: the counter seems too high for the chairs they use; at this price point they should really have a waiter in the room at all times; pace of the course is a bit too slow —some of the dishes could have been prepared simultaneously/in the kitchen; drinks by the glass are very limited.
