When it comes to yakitori, Japanese brands often take the spotlight. However, Yakitori One 鳥萬, a renowned yakitori specialist from Beijing has ventured beyond China for the first time. The brand decided to open at Suntec City Mall as its debut international outpost. Bringing a unique Chinese twist to traditional Japanese-style grilled skewers, Yakitori One offers an enticing selection of charcoal-grilled meats and seafood paired with bold, umami-rich flavors.

With both indoor and outdoor seating, diners can immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere. For diners who dine at the counter seats, they can watch skilled chefs expertly grill skewers over an open flame.

Yakitori One is celebrated for its wide-ranging yakitori offerings. It features every part of the chicken, from head to tail including unique cuts like chicken neck and aorta. The restaurant is currently open exclusively for dinner, offering both an Omakase Menu (S$158++) and an extensive à la carte selection. Diners can indulge in binchotan-perfumed skewers, each marinated to highlight the best flavors,

We began our evening with Yakitori ONE’s signature YakiONE Highball. A refreshing cocktail crafted with Scottish whisky and hawthorn fermented for over 48 hours, setting the perfect tone for the meal ahead.

Chutoro with Grated Foie Gras & Uni was a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth combination of premium ingredients.

Next, we had the Snow Crab with Caviar & Yuzu Jelly that brought a refreshing, delicate sweetness with a touch of citrus.

The highlight of the evening, of course, was the expertly grilled yakitori skewers. Each one was perfectly cooked over binchotan, infusing a smoky char while retaining the delicate flavors of the meat. The skewers on the menu offered a unique and comprehensive selection, with cuts ranging from tender chicken thigh topped with wasabi, Sancho, and Yuzu to the more adventurous heart aorta and cartilage.

In addition to the meat skewers, we also enjoyed the shishito pepper and gingko, which added a delightful contrast to the meal.The Chiba Sweet Potato was another highlight, with its natural sweetness perfectly balancing the savory flavors of the skewers.

The Tsukune is a mix of corn and cartilage meat served with a rich egg yolk sauce and cheese. It gives a satisfying texture with a deep, savoury richness.

Moving on is the Unagi Don to finish to the meal. While simple and unpretentious, I found it a bit bland for my taste. I still prefer their skewers over this dish.

Lastly, Melon is offered as a refreshing dessert to the Omakase. Perfect to cleanse the palate with its light, juicy sweetness.

For those seeking a more relaxed dining experience, Yakitori One’s à la carte menu offers an extensive range of skewers and sides. It provides flexibility without the commitment of a full Omakase meal.

Whether you choose the Omakase or à la carte option, Yakitori One brings an exciting new dining experience to Singapore. The exceptional quality of the skewers, along with the variety of cuts, makes it a must-visit for yakitori lovers. The ambiance is laid-back and welcoming, ideal for a cozy, casual dinner. Plus, for those who enjoy dining late, the restaurant is a perfect late-night spot, staying open until 2 AM.
