Question 1

Accepted Answer

The Gyu Bar sources premium wagyu from 7 Japanese prefectures: Sanuki Olive (Kagawa — one of the rarest, only 1,700 cattle), Ohmi (Shiga — oldest wagyu brand, 400+ years), Miyazakigyu (Miyazaki — snowflake marbling), Wa-Oh (Kumamoto — only free-grazing cattle in Japan), Satsuma (Kagoshima — Wagyu Olympics 2017 winner), Tankaku (Iwate — lean, healthy), and Furano (Hokkaido — special additive-free diet). All beef is air-flown chilled (never frozen) weekly. They purchase entire cattle for access to rare cuts.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Lunch omakase from S$68++ (5-6 courses). Dinner: 8-10 course omakase S$138-198++, premium 9-course wagyu prefecture journey S$238++ (requires 24hr advance notice). 5-course Truffle Uni Omakase S$88++.

Question 3

What is the difference between The Gyu Bar and Shatoburian?

Accepted Answer

Both are premium wagyu restaurants in Orchard. Shatoburian focuses exclusively on Hida Wagyu (Gifu) with a nose-to-tail philosophy and dark, intimate atmosphere. The Gyu Bar sources from 7 different prefectures, offering variety and comparison across wagyu breeds. The Gyu Bar also offers three cooking styles (yakiniku, shabu-shabu, sukiyaki) while Shatoburian is yakiniku-focused. The Gyu Bar has smokeless grills with underground filtration. Shatoburian is the more atmosphere-driven date spot; The Gyu Bar is the wagyu education experience.

Question 4

Where is The Gyu Bar located?

Accepted Answer

The Gyu Bar is at 30 Stevens Road, #01-08, Singapore 257840, near the entrance of Mercure Hotel (the Novotel/Mercure complex). The nearest MRT is Stevens (DT10/TE11), about a 5-minute walk. This is the same dining cluster as Omakase @ Stevens.

Question 5

Who founded The Gyu Bar?

Accepted Answer

The Gyu Bar was co-founded in 2018 by Chef Tomoo Kimura (of the former Michelin-starred Sushi Kimura at Palais Renaissance, now closed), F&B entrepreneur Karen Cheng (founder of The Travelling C.O.W./Chef On Wheels), and investment director Chua Weiling. Chef Kimura's fine-dining pedigree is reflected in The Gyu Bar's approach to wagyu — treating it with the precision and respect typically reserved for sushi-grade fish.

Question 6

Do I need a reservation at The Gyu Bar?

Accepted Answer

Reservations are recommended, especially for dinner and the 9-course wagyu omakase (requires 24-hour advance notice). Book via email (reservations@thegyubar.com.sg) or call +65 6732 0702 / +65 9150 3164.

Question 7

Is The Gyu Bar halal?

Accepted Answer

No, The Gyu Bar is not halal-certified. The menu includes beef, pork (Miyazaki pork shoulder), seafood, and alcohol.

Question 8

Does The Gyu Bar have a smokeless grill system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Gyu Bar uses custom Shinpo smokeless grills embedded in each table, with an underground filtration system that draws smoke downward. You can enjoy yakiniku without smelling smoky afterward — a significant advantage over most yakiniku restaurants.
