Hikiniku To Come is making its highly anticipated Singapore debut at VivoCity on 30 May 2026, bringing its famous "three-patty" ritual to local families.

Venue: VivoCity, #01-111 (near the outdoor waterfront)Â
Opening Hours:Â 11 am - 10 pm
If your family loves Japanese cuisine but is looking for something more exciting than the standard ramen run, Hikiniku To Come is the name to watch. This cult-favourite from Tokyo is bringing its "Just Ground, Just Grilled, Just Cooked" philosophy to Singapore, turning a simple beef patty into an interactive dining event.
With only 28 counter seats, the restaurant is designed so that every guest has a front-row view of the charcoal grills. It is high-energy, educational, and likely to be the next big hit on your social media feed.
The Hikiniku Ritual: Three Patties, Three Ways


The menu is refreshingly simple, featuring just one signature set meal ($27.90++). Each set includes three 100% Japanese beef patties, served one by one to ensure they are eaten at the absolute peak of freshness.
-
The First Patty: Eat this one exactly as it is. Itâs served straight from the grill onto your rice so you can appreciate the natural aroma of the binchotan charcoal and the pure flavour of the beef.
-
The Second Patty: This round is all about refreshment. Add the grated radish and a drizzle of homemade ponzu vinegar for a zesty contrast to the rich meat.
-
The Third Patty: The grand finale involves a rich Sakura or Hinata egg yolk. You can dip the meat directly into the yolk or mix it with soy sauce to create a luxurious, creamy "tamago kake gohan" (egg on rice).
Quality You Can See

What makes this a great spot for curious kids is the transparency of the kitchen. You can see the meat being ground in a temperature-controlled room and shaped by hand using a unique "popping" technique before it hits the flames.
The sides are just as impressive. The rice is cooked in traditional Hagama pots in staggered intervals, ensuring every bowl is fluffy and piping hot. Plus, unlimited rice refills mean even the hungriest teenagers will leave satisfied.
Customise Your Flavours

On the counter, youâll find a variety of "tasting" condiments to experiment with. From oil-marinated green chilis to Japanese pepper sauce and signature soy sauce flakes, itâs a fun way for older children to customise their meal and discover new flavour profiles.
BYKidO Pro-Tip: This concept is expected to go viral quickly. During the opening phase, it is walk-in only on a first-come, first-served basis. To avoid long waits with impatient little ones, we highly recommend arriving well before the opening time to secure your spot in the first seating.Â
