Halal-certified Japanese yakiniku with free-flow premium meats since 2015
Yakiniku Shokudo is a Halal-certified Japanese barbecue restaurant that has been serving Singapore since 2015. Located at Square 2 in Novena, the restaurant offers a yakiniku experience where diners grill premium cuts of meat at their table over charcoal-style grills. The concept was born from a desire to make authentic Japanese barbecue accessible to Muslim diners and anyone seeking quality halal dining options. The menu features a wide selection of marinated and unmarinated meats, including beef short ribs, pork belly, chicken, and lamb, alongside seafood and vegetable options. Free-flow and set meal packages are particularly popular, offering generous spreads at fixed prices that encourage leisurely, communal dining. The casual, convivial atmosphere makes it a favourite for group gatherings and family meals. Its Novena location draws both the local residential crowd and visitors from nearby medical facilities, and the restaurant has built a strong following among halal-conscious food lovers across Singapore.
