Birds of Paradise Description

The chef/bartender pair (Yao Lu, Austin Hu) behind the highly lauded Union Trading Company have brought their latest project, Birds of Paradise, to Yanping Lu. The concept is modern tiki or “island oasis in a concrete jungle,” as Hu told DRiNK Magazine. Our initial assessment: this tropical watering hole has a breezy atmosphere, bomb okonomiyaki fries, and the zombie (pictured above) is no freaking joke.
