Yakiniku Like, a branch of the Japanese chain of the same name, sits on level five of The Clementi Mall at 3155 Commonwealth Ave W in Clementi, and holds a 4.7 Google rating.
Yakiniku, Japanese for 'grilled meat', is one of the quickest meals there is: thin slices of beef, pork or tongue cook over a small grill in a minute or two, so the regular's trick is to lay a few pieces down at a time rather than crowding the plate. Tare dipping sauce, rice and a sharp kimchi side keep the richness in check. At counter-style yakiniku places, where each seat may have its own little grill, dining alone is entirely normal, and popular spots fill quickly at lunch, so arriving slightly off-peak often saves a wait.
Right by Clementi MRT and the bus interchange, it's an easy stop for a fast Japanese grill while you're doing the shopping in Clementi.
