If there’s one thing Singaporeans absolutely love, it’s a good food deal—and when it involves Japanese BBQ at a fraction of the usual price, it becomes too tempting to ignore. Yakiniku Like has officially opened the doors to their 13th outlet, right at the heart of town—The Cathay. And to mark this exciting milestone, they’re offering a one-day-only promotion that meat lovers won’t want to miss.
On 15 April 2025, diners can indulge in Yakiniku Like’s bestselling Pork & Chicken Set (100g), typically priced at $9.90, for just $2.90 nett. That’s not a typo—it’s genuinely $2.90, and yes, it’s inclusive of tax and service charges. But there’s a small catch (as all good deals have): this special price is only available to the first 100 customers who purchase any other set meal at the new outlet. So, you’ll need to be early, hungry, and ready.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss This Deal
Let’s be honest—finding a high-quality Japanese yakiniku meal at under $3 in Singapore’s city centre is close to impossible. This isn’t just a gimmick; it’s a full 100g portion of meat prepared to Yakiniku Like’s usual high standards. Known for delivering fast, affordable and authentic Japanese BBQ, Yakiniku Like has quickly won over many food lovers across the island. Their model focuses on individual and duo dining experiences, which means you can enjoy your meal at your own pace, without needing a big group or waiting endlessly for your food to be grilled by someone else.
The appeal of Yakiniku Like goes beyond just affordability—it’s the experience that makes it shine. The concept originated from Japan, where solo dining is not just accepted but celebrated. This translates perfectly for busy city-goers or students nearby The Cathay who might want a quick yet satisfying lunch or dinner.
The Atmosphere at The Cathay
With this new outlet opening at The Cathay, right along Handy Road, accessibility is a big win. Situated near Dhoby Ghaut MRT station, it’s a convenient stop for shoppers, students from nearby schools, or anyone working in the Orchard and Bras Basah vicinity. The Cathay itself has a vibrant atmosphere, mixing retail, entertainment, and food seamlessly, making it a perfect lunch or dinner spot.
This new branch of Yakiniku Like promises a clean, modern, and comfortable environment, equipped with smokeless grills that ensure you leave the restaurant satisfied without smelling like your meal. The seating layout is compact but cosy—ideal for solo diners or couples.
More Than Just a Promotion
While the $2.90 deal is certainly the headline, it’s also worth highlighting that this is a great opportunity to try out the rest of their menu. Yakiniku Like’s offerings are known for their variety and quality. Whether it’s beef, chicken, pork, or a combination, everything is well-seasoned and designed to be cooked quickly on their custom-built smokeless grills.
Popular sets include the Karubi Set (short plate), the Like Set (combination of three meats), and other seasonal or limited-edition cuts. You can also customise your meal size—opt for 100g, 150g, or 200g portions depending on your hunger level.
Their rice, soup, and salad sides complete the meal perfectly. And yes, if you’re someone who loves dipping sauces, Yakiniku Like offers a nice selection—garlic soy, spicy miso, and original tare sauce that enhances the flavours of the grilled meat.

This is the ideal deal for:
-
Students looking for a budget-friendly, delicious lunch or dinner
