Bentori Brings Approachable Yakitori To Central
Bentori is tucked away on Tit Hong Lane, a hidden alley next to The Center and Central Market. It is precisely this place, away from the bustle but still very accessible, which attracted founder Regan Yeung to open the yakitori bar here. Describing it as “almost like treasure hunting”, Yeung sees it becoming a place where people can chill out and mingle after a busy day of work.
Inside Bentori’s contemporary space is a unique design inspired by tigers, which are one of the most commonly-seen motifs in traditional Japanese ukiyo-e paintings. Customers can enjoy freshly grilled chicken yakitori and classic Japanese dishes with a twist, all of which are made using fresh ingredients from the local market. Some of the highlights in the menu include chicken thigh with shiso leaf, crab roe salad and a guilty treat: foie gras rice.
