The overall dining experience was extremely disappointing. The restaurant provided absolutely no services. Staff were either inattentive or completely absent, making it impossible to get assistance when needed. As for the food, it was a complete disaster. Poorly prepared, saluted and oily, and far from what was expected. Given the subpar quality and the frustrating experience, this place is simply not worth your time, money, or calories. Avoid it at all costs.

I was really hungry and saw that the place was empty especially during the dinner rush. I ended up having the cooked beef bowl and I want to say that it was just average. The beef marinate was so so so so very salty but thankfully the rice was perfectly cooked. Not sure why the staff lady still switched on the grill for me before my food came, it’ll be good if you could double check the table’s order before you do that? Sat there in silence feeling the warmth of the grill awaiting to see if the staff would notice but unfortunately they didn’t till I finished my meal and got up to pay. I think they’re understaffed but it doesn’t feel nice when you’re at the counter and ready to make payment and kept getting interrupted. The lady still asked me how was the food and when I responded saying it’s salty she didn’t even acknowledge it. $16 for a bowl of beef and rice at a place like this isn’t worth it at all. The menu isn’t as interesting and not much options for side dishes I believe it can be improved. unless there was no other choice, I wouldn’t come back here.

Ordered the beef steak and beef karubi to try. The menu doesn’t indicate what’s the weight of the meat, it will only be reflected on the receipt. Wide selection of selections, compared to other Yakiniku restaurants, but find it abit pricey. Like Otah, Marsh mallow, marsh mallow at $4.90 for 2 sticks. I feel the food not as tastily marinated.
We ordered the chicken hot stone as well, thought that’s the nicest thing 😛

I recently visited Yakiniku Shokudo at Funan, and unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. I believe it's important to share my concerns in the hope that improvements can be made.
Hygiene Concerns:
During my visit, there were flies in the restaurant, and one even landed in my soup. Despite bringing it to the server's attention, there was no acknowledgment or apology. The response was to simply take away the soup without addressing the issue.
Cleanliness Issues:
The seating area was not as clean as one would expect. Despite being a group of five, we were seated at a four-person table. Additionally, the floor around our seating area was visibly dirty, impacting the overall dining experience.
Lack of Customer Service:
I was disappointed by the lack of responsiveness and professionalism from the staff. Simple requests for sauce or information were met with indifference, leaving a negative impression on the overall service quality.
Receipt Denial:
During payment, we requested a receipt and were informed that the IT department had decided not to issue receipts to customers. This response was unexpected and left us feeling dismissed.
I hope this review serves as constructive feedback for the management. I am currently exploring additional channels to address the hygiene concerns. I appreciate your attention to these matters.

Totally false advertising. The quantity of meat on the menu vs actual is a scam. Ii ordered the full size steak set they only come with much lesser meat two pieces of chicken! Totally not enough for a full male guy. The staff explained the picture is different from the actual item.... Avoid
SG Food Legends
Worst experience ever. The way the male Manager talk to me simply shows that he has lack of training.
The grill was on fire, he took the raw meat and put on my plate. And then changed the grill, put the raw meat back to the new grill. Leaving my old plate for me to continue eating. Do they attend food safety training?
They tried to copy yakiniku like but they have a long way to go! Sauces are so precious here! You have to buy them...

It's not bad, may come again. BTW this review isn't to get free dessert, so trust that it's a fair assessment. Low atmosphere score as the tables are too close together! Could hear the next table discussing a deal.
Treat from a friend, so chose the chef's choice. Added a lamb chop each, a plate of prawns, and two bowl of vegs. So the bill is larger than standard. Standard I would say is under 30, the larger chef's choice is 22.90, drinks not included. There are also super saver meals, which are mainly ramen. And you came to a yakiniku restaurant for ramen?
The chef's choice full steak, was steak, beef tongue, and beef karubi. In my opinion, the steak was nice and fat, but fairly standard. The tongue was a tad chewy, but that could be me overcooking it. The best was the karubi. So overall a nice trio of meats. The lamb was good, lightly marinated. The prawns were a tad powdery.
I personally prefer a yakiniku buffet. Having this selection gave a taste of different cuts and meats, just no seconds!
Ida Hamidah
We absolutely love eating at Yakiniku restaurants—grilling the meat ourselves makes it such a fun and great experience. If you’re a meat lover like us, yakiniku is the perfect choice. We always leave full and happy!😍

The staff served us the food fast and was patient with our request despite the full house. Very great customer service. Food is super fresh and is served quite fast.

Food has alot of variety. And it was yummy. The portion may look small but it was pretty filling. However staff could me more trained.
Mich R
Tried Yakiniku Shokudo at Funan, service was friendly and efficient, especially appreciated the halal options. The meat was decent, the portion is decent for the price. Overall a good spot for casual yakiniku in town.
reiia noelle
Good budget meal especially for the quality of the meat. You can easily get 3 different cuts of beef for under $25. Marinades tasted nice and not overly salty.
Racel Y.
Yakiniku Shokudo offers a satisfying dining experience with tasty grilled meats and a cozy atmosphere. The food quality is great, and everything was well-prepared and flavorful.
One area that could use improvement is the waiting time between ordering and being served. We had ordered the rice set. While it wasn’t too long, a bit more efficiency in the kitchen would make the experience even better—especially during busy hours.
Overall, a solid spot for yakiniku, and I’d be happy to come back again!
