About Gochi-So Shokudo at Bedok Mall
Gochi-So Shokudo at Bedok Mall #01-75 is a Japanese casual dining restaurant specialising in premium Iberico pork, operated by the RE&S Group (one of Singapore's largest Japanese F&B operators, also running Ichiban Sushi, Kuriya, and other brands). The restaurant's name ごち惣 (gochiso) means "feast" or "treat" in Japanese — and the menu delivers on that promise with charcoal-grilled Iberico pork dishes that punch well above their price point. The Level 1 location is spacious with booth-style seating, an open kitchen concept, and warm Japanese-inspired décor. Since its debut in 2019, Gochi-So Shokudo has expanded to multiple outlets across Singapore: Bedok Mall, Bugis Junction, City Square Mall, Junction 8, and Jewel Changi Airport.
The menu is organised into clear categories: Donburi (rice bowls — the core offering), Tonkatsu Bento (crispy pork cutlet sets with rice, cabbage salad, miso soup), Tonkatsu Curry (katsu on rice with Japanese curry), Steak, Side Dishes, and Beverages. The Iberico Pork Jowl Don (S$13.50-13.90) is the bestseller — charcoal-grilled jowl meat with a slight char and smokiness, served on rice with onsen egg and sweet soy sauce. The Mille Feuille Cheese Katsu (S$17.82) is the most Instagrammed item — layers of cheese melting out of crispy katsu when you cut into it. The Iberico Black Char Siew (S$14.40/6pcs) is an excellent sharing side. Set meals include rice, cabbage salad, and miso soup. Prices range from S$11.70-18.81 for most items — affordable for the quality of Iberico pork being served.

Order the Pork Jowl Don
First-timers: the Iberico Pork Jowl Don (S$13.90) is the essential order — charcoal-grilled melt-in-mouth jowl meat, smoky aroma, onsen egg, sweet soy sauce on rice. For katsu fans: Mille Feuille Cheese Katsu (S$17.82) — cut it open and watch the cheese ooze out. Splurge: Bellota Loin Katsu Set (S$21.50) for the highest grade Iberico.
Charcoal Smoky Perfection
The pork arrives with visible char marks and a smoky aroma that fills your immediate area. The jowl meat is incredibly tender — Iberico fat has a nutty, buttery quality from the acorn diet. Mix the onsen egg into the rice for extra richness. The sweet soy sauce ties everything together. If you order the Mille Feuille Cheese Katsu, cut it immediately while hot — the cheese layers melt and flow, creating the perfect photo moment and flavour experience.
RE&S Quality Assurance
As part of the RE&S Group (which also operates Ichiban Sushi, Kuriya, and other Japanese brands in Singapore), Gochi-So Shokudo benefits from established supply chains and quality standards. The all-natural Iberico pork is sourced consistently. Average meal: S$14-20/person. For Bedok families wanting quality Japanese beyond sushi and ramen, Gochi-So fills the Iberico pork niche perfectly.
Iberico Pork Meets Japanese Grill
Iberico pork originates from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), where black-footed Ibérico pigs roam oak forests eating acorns (bellotas). The acorn diet produces highly marbled meat with a distinctive nutty, sweet flavour. In Japan, Iberico pork has become increasingly prized — Japanese chefs appreciate its marbling and richness, which pairs perfectly with Japanese grilling techniques like binchotan charcoal. Gochi-So Shokudo brings this fusion to Singapore: Spanish premium pork prepared with Japanese charcoal-grilling methods, served in traditional Japanese donburi and tonkatsu formats.
The RE&S Group has been a cornerstone of Japanese dining in Singapore for decades, operating multiple brands: Ichiban Sushi (value sushi), Kuriya Japanese Market (premium), Gochi-So Shokudo (Iberico specialist), and others. The group's expertise in Japanese supply chains enables consistent ingredient quality across all outlets. Gochi-So Shokudo's focus on Iberico pork fills a unique position in Singapore's Japanese dining landscape — most Japanese restaurants offer standard pork, but few specialise in the premium Iberico category at accessible prices.
Editor's Note
Gochi-So Shokudo at Bedok Mall is the most unique Japanese restaurant in the mall — and arguably the best value for quality protein. The Iberico Pork Jowl Don at S$13.90 is the must-order: the charcoal-grilled jowl is genuinely melt-in-mouth, the smoky aroma is appetising, and the onsen egg adds richness when mixed into the rice. It is an experience that budget ramen and gyudon simply cannot replicate. The Mille Feuille Cheese Katsu (S$17.82) is the Instagram star — the cheese oozing from between crispy katsu layers is both visually stunning and delicious. For a special treat, the Bellota Loin Katsu Set (S$21.50) is the highest grade available. The Iberico Black Char Siew side (S$14.40) is outstanding for sharing. Downsides: closes at 9pm (earlier than most), not halal, and vegetarian options are minimal. But for pork lovers and Japanese food fans who want something beyond the usual sushi-ramen-gyudon at Bedok Mall — Gochi-So is the clear standout.
