For those who crave delicious, high-quality grilled meats at affordable prices, Sa Tae Bak is a must-visit this June. This yakitori bar has opened a second outlet in Changi, featuring retro decor that adds a nostalgic charm to your dining experience. If you’re dining with a companion, the Yaki Moriawase Set, which includes 13 different Japanese tapas, is highly recommended for pairing with your favorite alcohol. Additionally, their appetisers, such as the impressively large Fresh Hyogo Oysters served with a wedge of lemon, are sure to delight. A squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of Tabasco sauce bring out the best in these oysters.
Izakayas and yakitori bars are abundant in Singapore, but Sa Tae Bak offers a unique twist. As you enter the restaurant, you’re greeted by old-timey posters and the sounds of “Ballerina” by Miki Matsubara, creating an inviting atmosphere for fans of Japanese city pop music. The name “Sa Tae Bak” is a clever play on words, transliterated from Hokkien to mean “three stacked meat,” referring to grilled meats on a stick. This name sounds similar to “satay,” which also denotes skewered meat, highlighting the bar’s playful and creative spirit.
The stylish vintage interior and mood lighting at Sa Tae Bak enhance the dining experience, making it cosy and comfortable. Located just an 11-minute walk from either Eunos MRT Station or Kembangan MRT Station, the Changi outlet can accommodate 50 people comfortably, ensuring ample space and privacy for diners. Whether you’re there for a casual meal or a night out, the atmosphere and decor of Sa Tae Bak make it a standout choice for yakitori lovers.
