Missing Japan? Me too!So when a friend, returning to
Missing Japan? Me too!So when a friend, returning to Singapore from a 6-month sojourn in Germany, recommended this spot for a dinner catchup I had low expectations but high hopes.Located In the back of a vintage hawker centre, with very cool speakeasy vibes is the eponymous Bincho.There's a diverse range of Shochu and cocktails, including the rare-as-hen's-teeth chest-o nut-o (that's chestnut for the lay peep).Sure you could opt for a standard wheat, sweet potato or barley but you might as well give yourself an uppercut!Instead, go from zero to hero and sip the pride of Kyushu! Chestnut in liquid form... no, liquor form!Onto the Yaki: Now you can do this thing 2 ways:- Way 1 if you're adventurous is to a la carte the yakitori; this'll require an exploratory palate and a reliable "I'm full!" meter.- Way 2 for the casual is to just go the set... we went the set and there was zero 'gret. Why? They pace the courses out with an explanation for each; they are bang on with bags of flavour; and you get to discuss the current course as you digest; before the next one arrives.Whilst the bincho'ed yaki is exceptional on its lonesome, the addition of condiments like yuzu, black mushroom salt, japanese mustard, and the always welcome wasabi elevates the dishes into the stratosphere!I think this is a crazy good date spot for you tinder fiends, and bumble bees, or if you wanna just chill with a bud and nosh it's also fantastic fare for that sorta shindig.My dining partner and I were hydrating regularly and the waitstaff were exceptional at refilling with ice n' a slice h2o every time we dipped below half glass.Special mention needs to be made of their delightful course description before serving as this adds to the overall culinary experience.If you can find this hidden gem, then you've already discover a slice of Japan in the little red dot!
Be the first to ReplyHad dinner here last night.
We liked the atmosphere. They have (at least in the wkd) 2 seatings. One at 6pm to 8:30pm and one starting 8:30pm. We had a la carte yakitori, Who actually don't come on a stick, not sure why but they where all good. Overall the quality of the food was good. We thought it was quite expensive. Still 4stara we had a great evening

Hard to find, as it is tucked behind the Min Jian @ Dempsey restaurant, but by no means is Binsho a bin for the food show at Min Jiang! Compared to the original at Tiong Bahru, this branch has more cooked dishes. We had the uni shabu shabu - extremely yummy! The yakitori dishes are delish, more 'refined' than at other superior yakitori places. Great choices of Japanese whiskey and sake. Cocktails are also unusual, although the soursop margarita is a bit too sweet. Attentive, personal service. The downsides? It is pricey - unless you stick to the lunch sets, you would end up paying $130 a head. day we visited, the aircon was not working well so it was kind of uncomfortable!
Be the first to ReplyFood here is pretty tasty.
It is at par with izakaya food in Japan--however, price wise, it's whack. $18 for one tsukune is ludicrous. I just don't get it. I've patronized this place twice, but doubt I will be back again.

I went for Sunday lunch and got here 30 minutes before they opened the waiter let me hangout at a table using their wifi until they were ready to serve. The food was great! I got the ramen which came as a multi-course meal. Excellent service and great food.

Tucked away behind Hua Bee's Mee Pok, you can find the entrance to Bincho near the carpark and the rubbish bins. The menus are hung on the wall in the form of chalkboards. Besides the a-la carte items, there are 3 options for yakitori sets, all priced between $60-$120. Some of the pieces of the tori zukushi set were delicious - the assorted appetizer, chicken liver, tsukune with egg yolk, and soft bone karaage stands out. However the rest of the food in the set were bland and underwhelming. But to me personally the star of the night was the garlic pork (a-la carte). The meat was well seasoned, crispy on the outside and the garlic complimented the pork really well. We also ordered grilled squid from the a-la carte menu, but it was very chewy. While I think my meal at Bincho was overall satisfying, I found the price to be too steep for the amount and quality of food we were getting. It was more like a been-there-done-that experience, and I don't think I'll be coming back for their food. However they do have a pretty impressive list of Japanese sake and I'll probably return for that. 3.5 stars.
Be the first to ReplyHaving lived in Tokyo for several years and eaten all kinds
Having lived in Tokyo for several years and eaten all kinds of delicious Japanese cuisine, I am always skeptical of trying it abroad but, Bincho did not disappoint. Their Tsukune and Yakitori is delicious, the ambiance is cool and the presentation is unique. The bar is also diverse with many Japanese microbrews, sake and even an all-you-can-drink beer deal on Sundays. I guess the one difference between Tokyo and Bincho is the price. Be prepared to pay $50-100 dollars to get full, but this is expected as a good Yakitori restaurant is rather rare in Singapore and this place rocks!
Be the first to ReplyThis review is for the bar only as I haven't eaten there
This review is for the bar only as I haven't eaten there yet. Since I moved into the area last year I have heard so much about the place (I have even visited Hua Bee (the old noodle store front) in the day and used Bincho's bathrooms). but never actually visited until last saturday when we were looking for a place for post dinner drinks, Bincho comes to mind. I have to say it's a pretty cool experience. So my 3 stars is only coz my experience there is so limited - definitely need to return and try out its other offerings. First, you need to walk in through the inconspicuous backdoor facing the carpark (not the usual store front side). The door looks like the usual restaurant backdoor. Think you can only get in through the front but I think getting in through the back is more fun. Then once you step in, the space reminds me of one of those WWII bunkers in Berlin or we could have been in a space ship. The vibe is intimate and lounge-y, good selection of drinks and cocktail. I tried the Bincho Banks which is a whisky based cocktail, a bit on the sweet side for my liking. Seem to have a good selection of japanese desserts as well but didn't get to try this time. The only pity is that it closes at 12 mid night and last order is 11:30 pm on a saturday, but i get it, this is a residential neighborhood but if they open later I can definitely see myself just hanging out there some more. And yes, I would also recommend trying Hua Bee in the day, it's an institution. Bincho sadly is part of the gentrification of tiong bahru, even though I find it pretty cool, and you can see from its clientele every group i saw walking out of the dining area has at least one expat. And in case you are wondering about the mee pok man poster in the bar area, it was filmed in Hua Bee and is Eric Khoo's debut feature, so one more reason to visit.

I won't repeat what others have said about the unique nature of this place. If you have not been here before, you should!Dinner prices can however be a bit steep. Lunch sets are however pretty good value, so I'll be back more often for that!As for the food, the pics speak for themselves!
Be the first to ReplyWow this place is so cool! I felt like a spy coming
Wow this place is so cool! I felt like a spy coming here!Imagine walking through a plain coffee shop, past uncles having their kopi-o and smoking cigarettes at the entrance, and reaching confidently for the hidden door at the back before entering a secret lair full of cool people having Japanese food...Except that we weren't sufficiently IN THE KNOW, so we walked past this place maybe 3 times while looking puzzedly at our phones ("Google Maps says we're HERE but WHERE IS IT?!?!") to the amusement of said uncles, and peered into the coffeeshop to see a very normal-looking place, and finally walked to the back alley to open a nondescript metal door which led us to a dark lair of high tables and chairs and a bar filled with alcohol bottles with kanji on them.Clue: Use Google Maps. Then enter the coffee shop with the green door. And push the green door INSIDE the coffee shopAnyway. We were here for the lunch set which was a really great deal. Sets start at $25 before tax and go up to $40+, but you get a drink, a starter (of 2 chicken drumsticks), another starter (of chicken skin salad which was oh-so-yummy), your main and then dessert (mochi or ice cream).They recommended the chicken dishes (it's a yakitori restaurant afterall) but because we were greedy, we had the ikura negitoro (salmon roll, chopped tuna belly with chives) and yakitori sets to share. Portions were reasonable (actually I was already filling up quite a bit before the main came but there's always more room for good food...) and the service was really attentive.Ikura negitoro - ingredients were fresh and good, though it could be a bit underwhelming if just for one. Afterall, there's not much texture in a negitoro don (besides soft and mushy) I'm so glad we decided to share this instead of me having it all to myself.Yakitori - the slices of chicken were moist and tender, I loved the grilled skin as well. And it looks damn good on photos in case you want to make your friends jelly. (HI IM IN THIS COOL PLACE WITH AWESOME FOOD AND YOU'RE NOT, is what I sent to my boyfriend in Brunei)The restaurant is divided into 2 areas, 1 dark and claustrophobic (and you're all sitting at 1 side of the table, facing the bar, but not AT the bar, because there's an alley between you and the bar counter) and 1 bright and airy with a nice view of the chefs grilling the yakitori. You know which one to choose.(Btw I now know where the cool entrance is and I will be using it for my next visit)
