Singapore turned 61 on 9 August 2026 and the restaurants went all-in on premium meat. That window has now closed. We re-checked all six brands on 2 October, and every SG61 offer on this list is over, including the three that ran to 31 August: Barossa's $6.10++ add-on, Tonkatsu ENbiton's free truffle fries and Dian Xiao Er's National Day Special menu. Barossa and Tajimaya, the two brands that had left an expired SG61 listing up on 1 September, have both since taken it off their promotions pages. So this guide now does the more useful job. It tells you what each of the six restaurants still serves, at prices read off their own menus and offers pages on 2 October: Barossa's Endless Steaks & Fries lunch buffet at $39++ on Mondays to Wednesdays and $58++ at weekends; Tajimaya's Premium Wagyu Buffet at $59.90 for lunch and $69.90 for dinner, plus $3 on Fridays to Sundays and public holidays; Dian Xiao Er's year-round Early Bird, 20% off on weekday mornings and late afternoons and 30% off at five outlets; Verandah's rooftop semi-buffets at $32++ for lunch and $68++ for dinner, plus a weekend Roast & Grill brunch at $98++ for two; Suki-Ya's buffets from $23.90 and its $12.90++ Shabu Shabu hotpot lunch set; and Tonkatsu ENbiton's Thick Cut Katsu series. Below: the exact prices, the day-and-time windows, and the catch on each.
Every SG61 offer on this list has ended. We re-checked all six restaurants on 2 October 2026, and this is what each one still serves.
> Quick view: endless steak, Barossa $39++ Mon to Wed lunch buffet; all-you-can-grill wagyu, Tajimaya $59.90 lunch and $69.90 dinner; cheapest way in, Suki-Ya $12.90++ hotpot lunch set. The catch: Barossa's weekday buffet needs 2 diners, each buying a drink.

Barossa and Tajimaya both left their expired SG61 tiles up into September and had taken them down by 11 September. Keep that in mind for SG62: an expired promotion can sit on a brand's own site for weeks, so read the dates on the page rather than trusting the tile.
Why so many of these were priced at $61 or $6.10
It was an SG61 pun. Singapore marked its 61st year of independence on 9 August 2026, so brands themed promotions around the number: $61 sets at Tajimaya and Verandah, a $6.10 add-on at Barossa, a $61 minimum spend at Tonkatsu ENbiton. It was a marketing hook rather than a fixed discount, which is why some $61 sets sat close to their normal a la carte cost. If the number 61 shows up again in August 2027 for SG62, apply the same test: check the set against the a la carte menu before you decide it is a deal.
The steak buffet that does not expire
If you came here for volume rather than for a National Day occasion, the answer is at the same restaurant as the ended $6.10++ add-on. Barossa Steak & Grill's Endless Steaks & Fries lunch buffet is a standing format, not an SG61 promotion, and it is still running:
- $39++ per adult, Mondays to Wednesdays, 11.30am to 3pm, last order 2.30pm
- $58++ per adult, Saturdays and Sundays, 11.30am to 5pm, in three seatings at 11.30am, 1pm and 2.30pm
- Children 4 and under eat free; ages 5 to 11 pay $19++ on weekdays and $38++ at weekends
You get free-flow Australian Black Angus grass-fed striploin with free-flow fries and a choice of black pepper butter or double whisky mustard sauce, plus unlimited appetisers and sides. At weekends a cold cart adds endless Kujukushima oysters and tiger prawn cocktails.
The catches are worth knowing before you book. Every seating is capped at 90 minutes. Weekend sessions take a maximum of 30 guests. The weekday buffet is the one with the fine print: a minimum of 2 diners, a maximum of 10 pax per table, and an a la carte drink each, with still and sparkling water excluded. It is dine-in only, not valid on public holidays, special occasions or their eves, and does not combine with other promotions. Reserve through Barossa's booking portal and write Steak Buffet in the notes.
How to eat well at these six now that SG61 is over
- Go on a weekday for the wagyu. Tajimaya's Premium Wagyu Buffet is $59.90 at lunch against $69.90 at dinner, and Fridays to Sundays, public holidays, special occasions and their eves all add $3. A weekday lunch is $10 to $13 cheaper than a weekend dinner for the same 100 minutes.
- Watch the Dian Xiao Er clock, not the menu. The Early Bird is a time window, not a dish list: 20% off Mondays to Fridays from 11am to 12pm and 4.30pm to 6pm, 30% in those same windows at City Square Mall, Downtown East, Great World, Parkway Parade or Lot One, and 15% at weekends from 11am to 12pm and 3pm to 4.30pm. Turn up at 12.15pm and you pay full price, and every tier gives you 60 minutes at the table.
- Count the drinks into Barossa's weekday buffet. At $39++ a head with a compulsory a la carte drink each, two people land nearer $110 all-in once the drink, service charge and GST are added. It is still the cheapest endless steak here, but it is not a $39 lunch.
- Pick your Suki-Ya day. The Regular buffet is $23.90 at lunch and $28.90 at dinner, and both the $12.90++ Shabu Shabu lunch set and the $3 senior and student discount run Mondays to Thursdays only. The $22.90++ all-day student special ended on 18 September, and its tile is still on the promotions page, so the cheapest Regular buffet is now $20.90 with the standing $3 off.
- Check which ENbiton outlet you are heading to. The Value XL Katsu Don is at Changi City Point and Suntec City only, not across all five shops.
- Book the Verandah weekend brunch as a pair. The Weekend Roast & Grill brunch is $68++ for one adult but $98++ for two, so a couple pays $49++ each. The weekday semi-buffet lunch is $32++ per adult and dinner is $68++, and GHA DISCOVERY members take 20% off either.
Prices, outlets and terms are set by each brand and can change without notice. Confirm on the brand's own channels before you head down. Prices exclude 10% service charge and 9% GST unless marked nett, and none of these six restaurants is MUIS halal-certified.
