The splurge. YakiniQuest is a Japanese beef yakiniku specialist that sells wagyu as set courses and omakase menus, so it is closer to a tasting menu than to a buffet.

Every price, outlet and opening hour was read on 13 September 2026 from each restaurant's own website, menu PDF or buffet card: Gyu-Kaku's buffet menu and locations page, Tajimaya's promotions and contact pages plus its 2026 Premium Wagyu Buffet PDF, Tenkaichi's promotion page and buffet price card, Yakiniku-GO's March 2026 grand menu, locations and promotion pages, Wa-En's promotions page and Wagyu Buffet menu, and YakiniQuest's homepage. Yakiniku Like Singapore has no website, so its deals come from its own campaign artwork and Instagram posts. We rechecked every restaurant on 17 September 2026: all seven are operating, every buffet price and deal above still stands, Yakiniku Like's 13 outlets were confirmed in its own queue app and its two newer deals in its own Instagram posts, and Tajimaya's Citi and OCBC card offers were read off its promotion pages. On 29 September 2026 we checked again: Yakiniku Like's A5 half-price deal ended on 28 September and has been replaced by its members' 10% off sets for two (to 28 October), confirmed with its $8.90 value sets in its own Instagram posts, and the other six restaurants' deals are unchanged on their own sites. On 13 October 2026 we checked again: Yakiniku Like's $19.90 Student Buffet (ended 2 October) and its $2 members' meats (ended 9 October) are gone, so both are removed, while its members' 10% off sets for two still runs to 28 October. Gyu-Kaku's free wagyu sukiyaki, Tajimaya's BYOB and card offers, Tenkaichi's 1-for-1 wagyu and oysters, Yakiniku-GO's gacha, Wa-En's $138 price and YakiniQuest's lunch sets are all still on the restaurants' own pages. Deals without a printed end date (Gyu-Kaku's free sukiyaki, Tenkaichi's 1-for-1 wagyu, Yakiniku-GO's gacha, Wa-En's $138 price) can end without notice, so check before you go.

Tenkaichi at Marina Square. Its Standard Buffet (beef, pork and chicken, no seafood) is $29.80++ Monday to Thursday and $35.80++ Friday to Sunday and public holidays, and students up to secondary school pay $22.80++ at weekday lunch. Gyu-Kaku's Family Buffet at $38.80++ (Mon-Thu) is the next cheapest. For a sit-down meal that is not a buffet, Yakiniku Like's 100g Pork Belly Set is $8.90 and Yakiniku-GO's 100g set is $11.90.
Three buffets on this list include Japanese wagyu. Wa-En at Jewel serves Miyazaki A4-A5 wagyu at $168 per person on its buffet menu, with a $138 Monday to Thursday price (minimum 2). Tenkaichi's Premium Buffet includes Kagoshima A4-A5 wagyu at $94.80++ on weekdays. Gyu-Kaku's Wagyu Buffet at $98.80++ adds Japanese wagyu nakaochi, karubi and sukiyaki. Tajimaya's buffet is Australian wagyu, with a $49.90 A5 platter as an add-on.
Yes. Yakiniku Like is built for it: every seat has its own smokeless grill. It has 13 mall outlets, and sets start at $8.90 for 100g of pork belly with rice and soup. From 29 September to 28 October 2026 Foodie San members also get 10% off its three sets for two ($45.90 to $69.90). Yakiniku-GO's sets from $11.90 also work well for one.
At most of them. Gyu-Kaku charges 50% of the adult price for kids aged 12 and below on all four buffets (up to 2 kids per paying adult). Tajimaya charges children aged 5 to 10 $30.90++ at lunch and $35.90++ at dinner. Tenkaichi prices children 90-120cm from $18.80++. Wa-En charges $68 for kids below 140cm and nothing below 90cm.
Tajimaya at Great World has two running now. Citi cardholders get complimentary salmon sashimi with a $100 minimum spend until 30 December 2026, and OCBC cardholders get a complimentary Sundubu Wagyu Beef Soup with a $100 minimum spend Monday to Thursday or $120 Friday to Sunday until 31 January 2027. Neither works on public holidays or their eves, and neither stacks with other promotions, so you cannot combine them with the BYOB offer.
