Enjoy the finest chicken reared in the mountains in Okukuji District of Ibaraki Prefecture, north of Tokyo!
Bird Land Ginza is a grilled chicken restaurant awarded one star by Michelin in 2010, the first star-holder of its kind. You may enjoy yakitori of the finest quality Okukuji Shamo Chicken. Chicken is cut into parts on-site, and we try our best to serve fresh meat only. We carefully select the charcoal to fuel the grill. We grill the finest chicken with the Japanese best charcoal, Kishu Bincho-tan. Please come and visit us!

Had high expectations but was left disappointed. I've had better yakitori in Hong Kong's Yardbird and random street yakitori places around Japan. The yakitori in Bird Land lacked seasoning and some were served still raw on the inside (while I am unsure if this is traditionally done this way, it was not flavorful at any rate). The highlights were surprisingly the grilled cheese and the tomato salad (but see my note below). Also noted some sanitary red flags during our dinner: (1) One of the chefs working on the skewers poked his finger with a skewer at least twice. He seemed to be bleeding, as he squeezed his finger and wiped it with some towels. He proceeded to work on the skewers without washing or wrapping his finger. (2) My companion's salad had a live insect, which we returned (but only after she had a few bites). The staff was apologetic and replaced her salad. Nonetheless, this is unacceptable from a starred restaurant.

ほかに支店が出来て大将がいなくなったのが少し残念に感じる。クオリティーが少し落ちた。インバウンド狙いなのか？

Fantastic restaurant with friendly service. Opted for the full course experience which was great value and appreciated the creative uses of different meat cuts. We sat at the counter and were able to watch the courses being prepared over the BBQ, was an overall great experience!

Not sure how this has a Michelin star. It was an enjoyable evening but really not up to what the star demands

Hands-down, the best yakatori we have ever had. Also one of our favorite meals while in Japan. It is great to sit at the bar and watch all the chefs in action. We got the largest meal you could get with multiple side dishes and several skewers. If we ever go back to Tokyo, we will definitely visit again!

I wish we didn’t have to order a set menu. Some of the choices are…”adventurous”. They did let us exclude a few items, but even so, some of it just wasn’t for me. I’m sure for others it is worth it, but so much of the food in Tokyo was cheap and delicious, that I’m not sure the value is there, even with the Michelin Star.

Great food and helpful staff. The tasting menu provides an easy way to sample the many yakitori that Bird Land offers.
