Preferably on HK Island but I'm flexible. Just a great place to get a few beers with your buddies and much on some great yakitori. Thanks!

There are more authentic ones in Kowloon but this is my fav in HK. Sun Aug 02 20:14:09 -0700 2009 4910789 15662 HKTraveler 2 5111247 HKTraveler - which ones in Kowloon do you think are more authentic? Would love to give them a try. Thx.

I was also stunned by how much the menu resembled the one from Nantei (formerly Nanbantei), which coincidentally opened a location across the street. Strange.

Thu Oct 29 00:17:42 -0700 2009 5136581 15662 HKTraveler 4 5139525 Haven't yet but would love to try them soon. Thanks again for the recommendations. What do you think about Bicho in Causeway Bay?

Largest shochu collection in HK too, and it's linked to a karaoke place called Music Box, which is just like being in Tokyo! http://www.musicbox-hk.com/waiwai Sun Aug 02 22:46:53 -0700 2009 4910789 1094073 MissLambkins 1 4912336 I can't say they're the best, but Magushi on Peel St. and Nantei on Staunton St. are a couple of good "beer with buddies" places...
