🇯🇵 Steak from $13.80+ (pre-opening till 4 mar)

STEAK GATZ offers an exciting dining experience if you appreciate Japanese-style steaks with great value. Located on level 1 of Orchard Plaza, this new spot is run by the same team behind Ramen Soshiji and Kakkin Oyster Bar, promising quality and flavor. They feature fire-grilled beef, including their fan-favorite harami steak starting at $13.80++ for 113g, with an option to upgrade to a larger 227g portion paired with a free-flow sauce set for just about $22+. Their signature garlic sauce stands out as a perfect complement to the beef. Interestingly, the chicken steak, which is double-cooked—baked then grilled—holds its own with a variety of sauces, some of which pair even better with chicken than beef. The team operates in a cozy space with only 2-3 staff members, so patience during peak hours, especially around the official opening, is advised. Making a reservation by direct message during this pre-opening period can save you a wait and secure your spot. Given the popularity of their previous establishments, queues are expected when they officially open. Additionally, the $3 top-up set offers unlimited sauce refills; however, it might take some time to serve due to the small team. If you prefer to skip the top-up, the basic steak servings themselves are satisfying and worth trying. In summary, if you’re looking to explore a hidden gem with affordable, hearty Japanese steak dishes and a warm inviting atmosphere in the heart of Orchard, STEAK GATZ is worth a visit. Don’t miss out before the crowd builds up!
