Since the pandemic has caused us to cancel our annual trip to Japan, boyfriend and I decided to drown our sorrows over something Japanese. We decided on yakitori at a Bicho, an izakaya that has been a staple in Causeway Bay forever.Located near Sogo, it was quiet when we arrived but as the night rode on, it started to fill up with diners.Menu is in English, Japanese and Chinese. It offered many items found at traditional Japanese izakayas. If ordering a yakitori skewer, you must order 2. You can
Located near Sogo, it was quiet when we arrived but as the night rode on, it started to fill up with diners.
Menu is in English, Japanese and Chinese. It offered many items found at traditional Japanese izakayas. If ordering a yakitori skewer, you must order 2. You cannot order a single stick to share which is very typical of most izakayas in Japan.
You are given a snack platter. This is a $28 charge for 2 people. It's made up of cucumber sticks, carrot sticks and lettuce. There was a some dipping sauce (salt, miso and a lemon) for you to use on the food.
Homemade Minced Chicken Stick with Onsen Egg ($42) was a lot smaller than most places we've been to. It was good though. I loved the crunch of the cartilidge found throughout. Though I think I would have loved more. The meat was good and the egg complimented it perfectly.
Lychee Wrapped with Pork ($45) was a favorite we like to order a lot. I felt the pork could have been seared a bit longer. But we still loved the sweet lychee against the salty pork.
Deep Fried Smelt Fish with Sesame ($52) as an item we had never heard of. Interesting as the fish was crunchy and flavored with the taste of sesame. It was fried so well, even the tail was edible and crispy like a chip.
US Angus Tenderloin ($75) was seared to a medium rare. The little patty of butter was so cute on top. The meat was tender and juicy.
Grilled Squid with Yuzu Wasabi ($36) was interesting. There was a bit of wasabi taste but not enough to be over powering. I loved the freshness of the yuzu. The squid was delicous. Tender and not over cooked.
Oyster Wrapped Bacon ($45) was a favorite of mine for the evening. The juicy oyster flesh went well with the crispy seared bacon.
Grilled Squid with Homemade Sauce ($85) was perfectly cooked. The meat was firm yet not rubbery. The sauce was a sticky sweet sauce. A bit like teriyaki.
Grilled Rice Patty with Salmon ($35) was how we always ended an evening at an izakaya. It fills you up. The onigir was grilled so the outside was crispy. There was a nice bit of salmon meat in the middle.
The food was good. The service was friendly enough. Food does take a while to arrive but then you're not supposed to be in a rush anyways. It does get busy but the customers aren't overly noisy.
