The inspiration for Hi Buddy Barbecue Institute comes from founder Mr. Li's love for his daughter. The first restaurant opened in China in 2015, inspired by his daughter's passion for barbecue. Mr. Li combined Asian grilling techniques and selected premium meats and sauces. He traveled to Japan to learn about Wagyu beef, to Taiwan for eel cuisine, and to Qiqihar for Northeast China barbecue culture. The restaurant quickly became popular in China and has now expanded to Tanjong Pagar, Singapore, bringing the same passion and quality.
Tanjong Pagar is a dining hotspot in Singapore with convenient transportation. Hi Buddy Barbecue Institute is located here, making it easy for locals and tourists to visit and enjoy our food.
Daily selection of the freshest ingredients, including Taiwanese eel, Japanese Wagyu, and Spanish Duroc pork, ensuring the best taste and quality.
Using Japanese Binchotan charcoal to lock in the natural flavors, creating a crispy outside and tender inside with a unique taste.
Each table is served by a professional grill master, providing one-on-one service to ensure every piece of meat is perfectly cooked.
We cook with heart, so every guest feels the warmth of home and the joy of delicious food.

"Hi Buddy's grilled eel is the best I've had in Singapore! Tender, smoky, and a must-order every time!"
"As a barbecue lover, Hi Buddy's Qiqihar marinated meat and eel are truly authentic. The meat is delicious and the service is professional. Highly recommended!"
"The Sambal Pork Rice is my favorite! The spiciness is just right, the pork is tender, and the rice is perfectly cooked. Reasonably priced with a generous portion, it's an excellent choice for a weekday lunch. Service is friendly too, highly recommended!"
"The environment is clean and tidy, and the service is quick and friendly. Ordered the Black Pepper Beef Rice and coffee. The beef was tender and juicy, the black pepper sauce was fragrant, and the coffee was rich and smooth. Will definitely come back!"
