Yaki Yaki BO is a teppanyaki restaurant concept under &JOY, RE&S's multi-concept Japanese dining hall group, with outlets at &JOY Japanese Food Street in both Jurong Point and NEX. The concept centres on live teppanyaki cooking, with chefs grilling the food right in front of diners.
The menu draws on a range of proteins and seafood cooked on the teppan grill — juicy beef, tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and seafood including salmon, jumbo prawn and squid — alongside okonomiyaki, the classic Japanese savoury pancake.
As part of the wider &JOY Japanese Food Street, Yaki Yaki BO sits alongside other Japanese dining concepts under the same roof, including ramen, yakiniku, udon and bakery brands, making it easy to explore multiple Japanese food styles across Jurong Point or NEX in one visit.
Yaki Yaki BO brings teppanyaki dining to &JOY Japanese Food Street, RE&S's multi-concept Japanese dining hall found in two of Singapore's malls. The appeal here is as much about the experience as the food — teppanyaki chefs cook each dish right in front of diners on a hot iron griddle, turning a meal into a bit of live theatre as much as a dinner.
The menu is built around classic teppanyaki proteins and seafood: juicy beef, tender chicken, and fresh vegetables sit alongside a solid seafood lineup of salmon, jumbo prawn and squid, all cooked to order on the teppan. For something a little different, Yaki Yaki BO also serves okonomiyaki, the savoury Japanese pancake that's become a staple of casual Japanese dining — a nice change of pace from the straight grilled options.
Yaki Yaki BO doesn't stand alone — it's one of several concepts under the &JOY Japanese Food Street banner, an RE&S dining group that brings together a range of Japanese dining styles under one roof. Depending on the location, diners can hop between Yaki Yaki BO's teppanyaki and other concepts like Yakiniku-GO's self-grill yakiniku, RAMEN KIOU's Osaka-style ramen, Idaten Udon, and various bakery and market concepts — all part of the same food street, making it easy to build a proper food tour in one visit rather than committing to just one restaurant.
Yaki Yaki BO operates at two &JOY Japanese Food Street locations in Singapore. The Jurong Point outlet sits within &JOY Japanese Food Street at 1 Jurong West Central 2, #B1-49, Jurong Point, in the basement of what's described as Singapore's largest suburban mall — a lively, bustling setting with eye-catching decor. The NEX outlet is part of the 12,000 square foot &JOY Japanese Food Street at 23 Serangoon Central, #B1-78, NEX, one of eight vibrant Japanese dining concepts housed in that particular food street.
&JOY Japanese Food Street runs seasonal promotions across its concepts, featuring ingredients airflown in from Japan to reflect the country's changing seasons — part of the group's broader effort to bring an authentic, evolving Japanese dining experience to diners in Singapore rather than a static, unchanging menu year-round.
Yaki Yaki BO is open daily from 11am to 10pm across both locations. The wider &JOY Japanese Food Street venues themselves run slightly longer hours — 10:30am to 9:30pm daily, with adjusted hours of 10:30am to 9pm on public holidays — giving diners flexibility to browse the wider food street even outside Yaki Yaki BO's specific serving hours.
For diners after something more interactive than a standard sit-down meal, Yaki Yaki BO's live teppanyaki cooking is the draw — watching a chef work through beef, seafood and vegetables on the grill right in front of you adds a bit of spectacle to the meal. Combined with its position inside a larger Japanese food street offering ramen, yakiniku, udon and more, Yaki Yaki BO works well both as a standalone dinner destination and as one stop on a broader Japanese food crawl through Jurong Point or NEX.
