Tokyo's hamburg obsession has officially reached Singapore. Hikiniku to Come — a cult-favourite charcoal-grilled hamburg (Japanese-style minced-beef steak) restaurant that's been one of the most hyped spots in Tokyo for years — has opened its first Singapore outlet at VivoCity, following earlier expansions into Taipei, Hong Kong and Bangkok.
> The whole concept in one line: one set, three patties, unlimited rice — and every patty hits your counter hot off the charcoal grill.
Just one thing on the menu
There's a single item, and the restaurant lives or dies by it: the Hikiniku to Come Set ($27.90++).
- Three 90g hamburg patties, 100% beef, ground fresh in-house every morning in a temperature-controlled cold room
- Grilled over binchotan charcoal and served one at a time — so each patty arrives hot, not sitting and cooling on a plate
- A bowl of miso soup, a raw egg for dipping (sukiyaki-style), and unlimited freshly-cooked rice, cooked in continuous batches through the day
No sides to deliberate over, no upsells — you're here for the patties.
Where & when
- Where: VivoCity, Level 1 (near HeyTea), 1 HarbourFront Walk, Singapore 098585
- Hours: 11am – 10pm daily
- Seating: counter seats around an open, circular kitchen — the same format as Tokyo, so you watch the patties grill
How the queue works
Hikiniku to Come uses a walk-in digital queue, not reservations:
- One person registers the whole group (each registration covers up to 4 people).
- You pick from the available time slots.
- Because patties are grilled to order, turnover is steady and seats fill fast — expect a wait at lunch and dinner peaks.
If you'd rather not queue, aim for the early-afternoon lull or later in the evening.
Is it worth it?
For $27.90++, three freshly-ground, charcoal-grilled patties plus free-flow rice and soup is a genuinely satisfying meal — and the served-one-at-a-time format is the gimmick that actually works, since you never eat a lukewarm patty. It's a single-dish specialist, so go in wanting *exactly* that. If you do, it's one of the more fun new food experiences in town right now.
