Yakiniku Like Westgate revolutionizes the traditional Japanese BBQ experience by pioneering solo dining culture in Singapore, eliminating the social barriers that typically accompany yakiniku restaurants. This innovative concept, which started in Shinbashi, Tokyo in 2018, quickly spread across Asia and arrived in Singapore in 2020 to enthusiastic reception, introducing the city to a new way of enjoying high-quality Japanese BBQ. The restaurant features individual electric smokeless grills at each seat, allowing customers to savor premium meats at their own pace while enjoying personal 'me time' without the need to coordinate with dining companions or worry about lingering smoke and odors.
The restaurant's design thoughtfully accommodates both solo diners and groups, with individual booths positioned in the center for single guests and shared grill tables along the sides for larger parties. The revolutionary smokeless grilling technology uses special suction systems that eliminate smoke from below the grill, creating a comfortable dining environment where guests can enjoy yakiniku without clothes absorbing smoky odors. Fast service ensures meals arrive within 5 minutes of ordering, making it perfect for quick lunches or efficient dinner experiences that fit busy urban lifestyles.
Yakiniku Like's affordability makes quality Japanese BBQ accessible to everyone, with solo sets starting from just $9.80 and standard meal sets beginning at $8.80. All sets include premium Hokkaido Nanatsuboshi rice (with customizable portions), seaweed soup, and choice of kimchi or salad, providing complete meals at exceptional value. The menu features carefully selected cuts of meat that deliver authentic yakiniku flavors while maintaining the fast-food convenience that has made this concept so popular. This combination of affordability, quality, speed, and solo-friendly atmosphere has established Yakiniku Like Westgate as an ideal destination for anyone seeking authentic Japanese BBQ without traditional dining constraints.
Went for an early lunch.
Place was almost empty aside from 2 and a half full tables. We got seated at the same table (there was a sauce divider in the middle) as another group of 2...which wasnt great. They left before us but it was really disruptive to have the waiter clean the table while we were still eating on one side. Keep in mind there is a dining time limit so it's best to decide what you want, before you get seated.
We got the "A5 wagyu karubi and rosu 100g" set ($20.90) and the A5 wagyu misuji and US karubi 100g" set ($22.90) with 150g rice each. Ordered an extra 50g "Pork belly" ($4.50). Portion size for a set is definitely not enough for one person, so be prepared to possibly order extra food. The meat itself was yummy. They are thin, so it's very easy to overcook it. The rice portion comes in 3 different sizes with no extra charge, we went with the smallest size which was enough for us.

Jessie and Joyce provided amazing services!
Kind and attentive throughout our meal.
Food was absolutely amazing!!! And definitely worth every penny.
The world needs more affordable table-top BBQ just like these.
The BBQ experience was one of the best we’ve had. The heat was just right to cook the thin slices perfectly and quickly too. Most amazing thing was the lack of smoky smells during and after. Very well thought through bbq design whereby the rims had a vacuum to suck up the smoke and oil fires too. No worries about anything catching on fire.
AWESOME EXPERIENCE! Definitely recommend 👍🏻👍🏻

It's incredibly amazing and impressive. The BBQ was tasty esp the beef and the pork jowl. The staff was exceptional, with smiling warmly. The entire team is courteous and friendly. I appreciate how you brightened my day. Keep up the excellent work; I strongly recommend it to anyone who is a smaller eater, but not to those who consume a lot.

Had an awesome time at Yakiniku Like! It’s a great spot to go with friends if you’re craving some tasty yakiniku without the wait. The meat was super fresh and flavorful, the sauces were on point, and the grill setup made it easy to cook just how you like it. Service was quick and friendly, prices were solid and I really enjoyed the $3.90 Sapporo beer deal too. Definitely coming back for another round soon!
