Steak Gatz is a casual Japanese-style steakhouse that has recently opened at Orchard Plaza, specialising in hotplate steaks, gyukatsu, and hearty grilled dishes served in a compact, counter-style setting. Located on the first floor facing Concorde Hotel Singapore, the small restaurant keeps things simple with an L-shaped counter, a handful of seats, and clean wooden finishes, putting the focus firmly on affordable, satisfying food rather than flashy décor. The team behind the concept is also known for other casual Japanese eateries in town, and the same philosophy of good quality at reasonable prices carries through here.
The menu centres on customisable steak sets, with portions ranging from smaller cuts to larger servings depending on appetite. Diners can order the beef on its own or upgrade to a set that includes free-flow rice, vegetables, and miso soup, giving the place a canteen-style feel inspired by Japanese casual dining spots. One of the signatures is the harami steak, a popular skirt cut often seen in yakiniku restaurants, served sizzling on a hotplate and paired with a selection of house sauces such as onion, ponzu with grated radish, and savoury dashi blends that can be mixed to taste.
Beyond grilled meats, the menu also includes fried favourites such as gyukatsu, karaage, croquettes, and oysters, offering a mix of textures to go with the rich beef dishes. The gyukatsu in particular is served thick-cut with a crisp coating and a juicy centre, echoing the style commonly found in Japan. With its free-flow sides, strong sauces, and straightforward pricing, Steak Gatz feels designed for quick, filling meals rather than long dinners, making it a convenient stop for anyone looking for a no-frills steak fix in the Orchard area.
