GyoGyo represents a distinctive approach to halal Japanese cuisine in Singapore, specializing in authentic Japanese grilled fish preparations and traditional sukiyaki that honor time-tested cooking techniques while ensuring complete halal certification for Muslim diners seeking genuine Japanese dining experiences. This unique restaurant concept combines the precision and artistry of Japanese grilling traditions with the inclusivity of halal certification, creating dining destinations where diverse communities can explore authentic Japanese flavors.

Operating strategic locations including Funan Mall, Plaza Singapura at basement level with direct access to Dhoby Ghaut MRT interchange station, and VivoCity, GyoGyo ensures convenient access for customers throughout Singapore while maintaining consistent quality standards and traditional preparation methods that preserve the authentic characteristics of Japanese cuisine.

The restaurant signature focus on grilled fish showcases an extensive range of premium fish varieties including Salmon, Halibut, Saba, Mero, and Kama, each prepared using traditional Japanese grilling techniques that achieve perfect texture balances between crispy, caramelized exteriors and tender, flaky interiors. These preparations demonstrate the Japanese mastery of fire control and timing that creates distinctive flavors impossible to replicate through other cooking methods.

Traditional Japanese preparation styles include Saikyo Yaki featuring sweet miso marinades that penetrate fish with complex umami flavors, Teriyaki with glossy, savory-sweet glazes that showcase the perfect balance of soy sauce and mirin, Shioyaki emphasizing pure fish flavors enhanced only with perfect salt applications, Nitsuke showcasing simmered preparations in traditional Japanese broths, and Foil Yaki that steams fish in aromatic packages that preserve natural juices and delicate textures.

Beyond fish specialties, GyoGyo accommodates diverse preferences with expertly prepared Chicken, Ebi shrimp, premium Steak, and traditional Unagi eel preparations for those seeking alternatives to fish dishes. Each protein receives the same attention to traditional Japanese cooking techniques and quality ingredient sourcing that defines the restaurant culinary philosophy.

The menu extends to traditional Japanese set meals including Sukiyaki Gozen that combine premium ingredients in authentic hot pot preparations served with Japanese rice or udon noodles and traditional accompaniments. These set meal formats provide complete dining experiences that showcase multiple aspects of Japanese cuisine while maintaining affordable pricing and generous portion sizes.

Japanese rice bowls represent comfort food traditions, featuring premium ingredients served over perfectly prepared rice with traditional seasonings and garnishes that create satisfying meals ideal for both quick lunches and leisurely dinners. The rice preparation follows Japanese standards for texture, temperature, and flavor that complement rather than compete with the featured ingredients.

All grilled fish sets include traditional accompaniments of Japanese rice and miso soup, creating complete meal experiences that honor Japanese dining customs while providing balanced nutrition and satisfying portions. The miso soup, prepared using traditional dashi and miso techniques, provides the warming, umami-rich broths that define authentic Japanese meal structures.

The restaurant commitment to halal certification ensures Muslim diners can explore Japanese cuisine without dietary concerns, though the certification requires yearly renewal to maintain compliance with religious dietary requirements. This dedication to inclusivity makes GyoGyo an important bridge between Japanese culinary traditions and Singapore multicultural dining landscape.

The grilling techniques employed at GyoGyo preserve the natural flavors and nutritional values of premium fish while creating the distinctive textures and aromas that define exceptional Japanese grilled cuisine. The open kitchen concepts at various locations allow diners to witness the skilled preparation methods that transform fresh ingredients into authentic Japanese dishes.

The strategic mall locations provide convenient dining options for shoppers, office workers, and families while offering comfortable environments suitable for business lunches, casual dinners, and special occasion meals. The modern restaurant design combines Japanese aesthetic principles with contemporary comfort to create welcoming spaces.

Whether you are seeking authentic Japanese grilled fish prepared using traditional techniques, exploring halal-certified Japanese cuisine that maintains cultural authenticity, craving comfort food combinations of perfectly grilled proteins with traditional rice and soup accompaniments, or looking for quality Japanese dining experiences in convenient locations, GyoGyo delivers comprehensive Japanese cuisine that honors both culinary traditions and dietary inclusivity.

The fish is cooked nicely, but the portion is not generous. For $30 codfish, two very thin slices are not worth the money. The photo shows it half eaten, but you get the gist.

Please don't waste your money or time here. I was confused when I first received my food. The portion of unagi was tiny, nothing like what was shown on the menu. When I asked the server about it, she said she would check with the kitchen. Despite the restaurant being empty, she never followed up. I asked her again, and she gave me the lamest excuse that the unagi was “hidden under the soup,” which was clearly not true. She had an attitude and seemed completely disinterested in her job. I'm not sure what I was paying for – the food or the attitude. The staff here really need proper training. To top it off, the texture of the unagi was like rubber, like chewing on a latex glove. I couldn’t even finish it, which was already smaller than the size of my fist to begin with.

Waited 45 minutes for my meal. The soft shell crab arrived wet and fishy. The chef informed me this was normal. Then came the sukiyaki after a 50-minute wait. It was so slow to heat up that I waited 15 minutes for it to boil on the table. The taste was mediocre at best. Come here if you're in for a night of disappointment.

Had a dinner date here and tried their pasta with soft-shell crab, udon, some sides, and veggies. Overall, the food was solid – nicely done flavors and good portions. The soft-shell crab pasta stood out: crispy, savory, and not too heavy. The udon was comforting and satisfying. Sides and veggies rounded things out well. A good spot for lunch or dinner.

While looking for a place to dine alone, I chanced upon a restaurant with an attractive presentation of the food. I ordered the Beef Sukiyaki set and was delighted by the generous amount of ingredients that came with it. However, disappointment set in when I realized the soup wasn't hot, and I had to wait for the burner to heat it up. When I tasted the soup, it was too sweet to drink. Despite this, the beef tasted heavenly after being dipped and cooked in the soup. Overall, the meal was quite enjoyable.
