Stunning place and definitely sad that it will be winding up soon. Food is incredible and such a nice mix of flavours and textures that take your tastebuds on a journey. Eggplant is the standout dish for me, and the teriyaki duck was great as well, especially the meat that came off the leg. Wine selection was great with tasty wines to be found in any price range!

Dimly lit, great service, filled with good times to share with others!
Entrance is on Crick Avenue - saying it again because it took me a few minutes to find it.
Good size restaurant with the interior mirrored throughout with shelves of bottles. Looks nice. Staff were extremely friendly and they felt warm throughout the night.
Food wise, we tried a good mixture of foods and some were hits but no flavours stood out or were memorable. Karage was nice. Eggplant was oddly great. The small starters (tacoyaki and prawn toast) didn't have any distinguished flavours. Flounder was the waiter's recommendation and it really stood on its own - soft fish, nice crispy skin.
The absolute highlight of the night was the desserts. I usually can't say no to Japanese cheesecake and tonight was no exception - loved the bright yuzu flavour. And the bingsu was very very refreshing. Loved the shaved ice mixed with brown sugar custard.
Dessert was definitely the saving grace of the night of Paper Bird and I'd go back again for another bite.

Modern Asian resto. With traditional Korean dishes such as fried chicken and bimbambap at the core of the menu other foods are combined to provide a fun delicious menu. Ham on a Korean pancake? Unusual but it works as does the prawn toast sandwich. The grilled lettuce with crispy anchovies is a play on the Ceasar salad but with the dehydrated fish so common in Asian food, simply stunning. Pickled mussels with charred baby spring onion and crumble takes a euro staple and given a modern Asian twist. The bowl of bean curd in shroom stock is tasty and soothed babes sore throats and the hot pot with tripe is exceptional. An obvious star is the fried chicken as is the pork belly, hot hearty meaty serves that deliver great flavour. The baked cheesecake is a subtle light dessert in the style of Asian cakes growing in popularity. They have a great wine list and for me another win is being open weekday lunches, too many of my fav restos only serve lunch on weekends. I'll be back to try breakfast very soon and get the other lunch items I missed as I was so excited when I read the menu I had to order a bit too fast.
