Birders, which is owned by local celebrity Adam Chen, now offers lunch sets comprising of a surprisingly addictive salad, an appetizer, the entrée itself, and a bowl of miso soup. This extensive ensemble definitely deserves your hard-earned dollarydoos on both the quantity and quality fronts.

Exhibit A here is the Yakitori Don ($14 + 10% service charge for the whole set), which builds upon Birders' signature charcoal grilled yakitori. Each bowl comes with a stick of chicken meatballs (tsukune), thigh meat, heart and liver. Now, don't shy away from them chicken innards, they are VERY well marinated, and other than a pleasant change in texture and bite, you won't even notice that you're having chicken organs.

Top off the stellar, savory seasoning and the careful drizzle of the sweet & savory teriyaki sauce with the strong charcoal smokiness and you've got an absolute winner of a chicken dinner. (Actually it's lunch but just humor me here.) The runny soft boiled egg is on station to be mixed into the Koshihikari rice to lubricate and breathe life into the bowl of carbs, and to add the rich creaminess of the yolk to the chicken sticks.
