Yakiniku Shokudo
Why Yakiniku Shokudo
About
Yakiniku Shokudo (焼肉食堂) is a halal-certified Japanese BBQ restaurant chain operated by Japan Foods Holdings Ltd (JFH), one of Singapore's largest Japanese restaurant groups listed on the SGX. JFH also operates Ajisen Ramen, Tokyo Shokudo, Konjiki Hototogisu, Menya Musashi, and Osaka Ohsho — over 50 Japanese restaurants in Singapore. Yakiniku Shokudo is the halal equivalent of JFH's Yakiniku Taro brand.
The concept centres on personal tabletop grills where diners cook their own meat — a core element of the Japanese yakiniku tradition. The menu features beef cuts (karubi, sirloin, tongue, wagyu), chicken, stone bowls, curry rice, and ramen. All meats are halal-certified and pre-marinated. Multiple dipping sauces provided.
With 8 outlets across Singapore, Yakiniku Shokudo has become one of the most accessible halal yakiniku options in the country. Halal-certified Japanese BBQ is extremely rare in Singapore — Yakiniku Shokudo fills a genuine gap for Muslim diners who want the interactive yakiniku experience.
Compass Verdict
A yakiniku chain bringing Japanese BBQ to heartland malls at accessible prices. The menu balances premium cuts with affordable options. A practical choice for families who want yakiniku without the CBD price tag.

Editor's Note
Yakiniku Shokudo fills a genuine gap: halal-certified yakiniku. The Beef Karubi Set at S$9.90 is an affordable entry point. Honest caveats: portions can be small, service varies by outlet. The Shokudo Set is the best sampler. For Muslim diners who want interactive yakiniku, this is currently the most accessible option in Singapore.
