Question 2

Is Gochi-So Shokudo halal?

Accepted Answer

No. Gochi-So Shokudo is NOT halal-certified. The restaurant specialises in pork — specifically Spanish Iberico Pork grilled over charcoal. Every main dish features pork. For halal Japanese in Jurong, try Sukiya or Pepper Lunch (MUIS certified).

Question 3

What is Iberico Pork?

Accepted Answer

Iberico Pork comes from black pigs native to the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). These pigs are raised on a natural diet of barley, maize, acorns, roots, and herbs. The finest Ibérico pigs (called 'bellota') eat only acorns before slaughter. The result is pork with higher intramuscular fat, a nutty sweetness, and a melt-in-mouth texture — often called 'the wagyu of pork'. Gochi-So Shokudo imports directly from Spain and grills over binchōtan (Japanese white charcoal) to enhance the natural flavours.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Gochi-So Shokudo is affordable for the quality: Iberico Pork Belly Don from S$11.70, Iberico Black Char Siew Don S$14.85, Iberico Pork Jowl Don S$17.10. Tonkatsu bento sets S$14–18. Most mains under S$17. Most diners spend S$12–20 per person.

Question 5

What should I order at Gochi-So Shokudo?

Accepted Answer

Must-try: (1) Iberico Pork Jowl Don — the signature, tender jowl meat grilled over charcoal. (2) Iberico Black Char Siew Don — juicy char siew with addictive sweet glaze. (3) Mille Feuille Cheese Katsu — crispy layered katsu with melting cheese. (4) Unagi W Iberico Black Char Siew — eel and char siew combination. (5) Iberico Sirloin Steak for a bigger appetite.

Question 6

What is binchōtan?

Accepted Answer

Binchōtan (備長炭) is a type of Japanese white charcoal, traditionally produced in Wakayama Prefecture from ubame oak. It burns at a very high temperature with minimal smoke and almost no flame, creating clean, intense radiant heat that sears the surface of meat quickly while keeping the interior juicy. This is why binchōtan-grilled food has a distinctive clean smokiness without the acrid taste of regular charcoal. It is considered the premium charcoal for Japanese grilling.

Question 7

Does Gochi-So Shokudo accept reservations?

Accepted Answer

No. Walk-in only. No reservations. The restaurant fills quickly during weekend lunch (12–2pm) but weekday lunch and early dinner are usually easy to get seated.

Question 8

Is Gochi-So Shokudo kid-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Donburi bowls are easy for children. The Tonkatsu bento with refillable rice and cabbage is a practical family option. The restaurant has a casual, relaxed atmosphere. However, note that the entire menu is pork-based — no chicken, beef, or seafood mains.

Question 9

Does Gochi-So Shokudo have free refills?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When you purchase any tonkatsu set, you get FREE refills of fresh shredded cabbage. Rice and miso soup are also refillable in the tonkatsu sets. This makes the sets excellent value — eat as much cabbage, rice, and soup as you want with your crispy katsu.

Question 10

How many Gochi-So Shokudo outlets are there?

Accepted Answer

As of 2025, there are approximately 15 Gochi-So Shokudo outlets across Singapore, including locations at Westgate (Jurong), Jewel Changi Airport, Bugis Junction, Plaza Singapura, Wisma Atria, Chinatown Point, Seletar Mall, Tampines 1, Northpoint City, and more. It is a Singapore homegrown brand.

Question 11

Does Gochi-So Shokudo offer delivery?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Delivery available through GrabFood and Foodpanda. Takeaway also available. The donburi bowls travel reasonably well. The charcoal-grilled flavour is best experienced in-restaurant, but delivery quality is decent.
