The skewers are not too bad, especially the prawn and beef ones. But they are too oily. The rest of the food is average. But it’s a nice venue for catching up, gathering, and chilling.
The duck with orange slices is overpriced, and it’s so thinly cut that I can’t even taste the duck at all! Haha.

We had dinner here after our boat ride. Our waitress Nikky was super helpful. Her recommendations were spot on.
We started with Hand-smashed spicy cucumbers. I made this dish at home sometimes, but theirs were so much better. We also had various skewers, Sichuan spicy cold noodles, and Orleans chicken wings. All very tasty. But we loved the wings so much that we ordered one more even though we were kind of full already.
The Japanese Kirin draft beer was a perfect match for the food.
Jake
Ambience and service were good here. Some items were good, like the fried Xiao long bao, mutton rack, bread, and Orlean mid wings. However, some of the skewer items were disappointing, especially as the meat was quite tough and not warm enough. Overall, I think they have a few more specialty items not found in other outlets.
Jian Ng
Great experience! Amazing food, plus the first beer I've seen under $9 in Singapore.
Shawn
Highly recommend this spot for skewers! The skewers are very flavourful, especially the cumin skewers, and offer a good spice level when selecting the spicy option. Definitely get the bread too; it’s incredibly crispy and has a sweetness that balances out the meat very well. Also, the shiitake mushrooms were incredible; I haven't really had them anywhere else. A must-try!
Ah Bee Kek
Such a fun experience to eat stick after stick. They were well marinated and delicious.
Dennis Ng
Honestly, of all the BBQ places we visited in Singapore, we liked this one best. They offered great service, a wide selection of food, and good drinks. I don't know how to properly criticize them! It's really good! Please visit too!
Perry KHOR
Food was good. Lala soup is a must-have. There's a live band playing from 8 PM. It costs about 40+ SGD for a full meal for men.
Faye
Amazing place! The variety of skewers could be more for the vegetables (excluding mushrooms), as there are only a handful. But I really, really love them! They are marinated well! The biggest shout-out is for the vegetable in the third picture.
Love the grilled plate too, as it keeps the food warm.
The side dishes were great! Enjoyed the dumplings and chicken wings.
There are also free snacks which you can take near the entrance that go well with the beer. There are discounts during different times, such as happy hour and side dish promotions.
Kian Yeo
An enjoyable experience at this flagship outlet! It offers a great selection of skewers and beers. The quality of the ingredients is top-notch, and I look forward to visiting again. 🤤

样样达标。Everything is so delicious, and the service staff are all friendly. They also served a good variety of beer. This was an absolutely great BBQ experience I have ever tried.
Wendy
With an extensive menu, I enjoyed munching on a wide variety of dishes, consisting of carbs, meat, and vegetables.
We also got the Hot and Sour Rice Noodles, whose texture felt too soft initially but eventually grew on me. The dumplings were also not bad.
My only gripe about BBQ Box is that the box barely keeps the skewers hot.
Jarvis Tan
Good food and efficient service! The food was high quality, with generous portions. The atmosphere was also lovely.
Amir A.
The food was really good. However, while the meat portions were micro-bites (see picture), everything we ordered – beef, chicken, oyster and king mushrooms, and red shrimps – was nonetheless really yummy.
Overall, the flavor was great. Shrimps were my least favorite, as the shell got stuck and they were not deveined.
Another plus was that it was baby-friendly, and the staff were doing their best to accommodate during a busy night.
I would try other branches in the future!
Vivek Gupta
This is a Chinese-style BBQ place. Though not a direct transplant from China, it caters to similar tastes. I quite liked the food, especially the skewers and appetizers like the cucumber and edamame. Nice place if you fancy a change. I would happily recommend the skewers and fish, especially if you like Mala flavors.
