My Personal Visit to Josh’s Grill Bugis Juction | Menu & Prices
The first thing I noticed was the smell.
I was walking along the ground floor of Bugis Junction, half thinking about where to sit down, when that smoky, charred, something-is-on-the-grill smell drifted past me. I followed it. Of course I did.
That is how I ended up at Josh’s Grill, a casual Western grill house tucked inside Bugis Junction, with a big menu of chicken chops, steaks, pastas and sides, and a plate of onion rings that people still talk about.
Some meals are fancy. Some meals are just honest, smoky, and filling. Josh’s Grill is the second kind, and sometimes that is exactly what you need.
It is not a quiet fine-dining place. It is warm, a little busy, and very easy. You walk in, you point at a chicken chop, you pick your sides, and twenty minutes later you are happy. Let me tell you everything I learned.
About Josh’s Grill Bugis
Josh’s Grill is a local Western grill brand that started with one simple idea: good grilled food at prices normal people can actually afford. Their meats are cooked low and slow first, then finished on the char-grill, which is why the chicken stays juicy while the outside gets those smoky grill marks.
Here are the details you need before you go:

If you are walking around Bugis and craving a proper plate of Western food without paying restaurant-on-Orchard prices, this is one of the easiest choices in the mall.
My Personal Visit: First Impressions
I went on a weekday, a little after 12:30pm. Big mistake, or maybe a good one, because I got to see the place at full energy.
The office crowd from around Bugis and Beach Road had already arrived. Tables were full, the grill was hissing, and the staff were moving quickly between the kitchen and the floor. I waited about ten minutes for a table for two. Not bad at all for lunch hour.
The space is simple. Wooden tables, warm lighting, nothing fussy. It feels like a neighbourhood grill house that happens to be inside a big mall.
I ordered the Char-Grill Spicy Chicken Chop with Dynamite Sauce, because the name alone made me curious. For sides I picked Mala Broccoli with Crushed Peanuts and Baked Onion Rice with Crushed Almonds. And yes, I added the onion rings. I had heard too much about them to skip.
The chicken came out smoky with charred edges and a sauce that was sweet, tangy, and just spicy enough to wake me up. The onion rice was my surprise favourite. Fragrant, buttery, with a little crunch from the almonds.
The onion rings? Enormous. Crispy on the outside and soft and sweet inside. I could not finish them alone, and honestly, I did not mind taking a few home.
Was everything perfect? No. My broccoli wanted a bit more mala punch, and a couple of the sides were a little heavy for me. But for the price and for a casual lunch in Bugis, I walked out full and smiling. That counts for a lot.
Josh’s Grill Bugis Menu: All You Need to Know
The menu here is big. Chicken chops, steaks, lamb, seafood, pastas, combos, soups, salads, hot sides, cold sides, and desserts. Below I have broken it all down so you know what to expect.
A quick note on prices: the prices below are taken from Josh’s Grill’s online delivery menu for the Bugis Junction outlet in 2026. Delivery apps usually charge more than dine-in, so expect to pay a little less when you eat at the restaurant (before service charge and GST). Prices can change, so treat these as a guide.
Char-Grill Chicken Chops
This is what Josh’s Grill does best, in my opinion. The chicken is grilled until the skin turns smoky and slightly crispy, and you choose your sauce. If you only order one thing here, make it a chicken chop. My pick is the Dynamite Sauce if you like a little heat, or the Mushroom Cream if you want something comforting.
| Item | Price (S$) |
|---|---|
| Char-Grill Chicken Chop with Smokey BBQ Sauce | 16.90 |
| Char-Grill Spicy Chicken Chop with Dynamite Sauce | 18.20 |
| Char-Grill Chicken Chop with Black Pepper Sauce | 18.20 |
| Char-Grill Chicken Chop with Mushroom Cream Sauce | 18.20 |
| Char-Grill Chicken Chop with Homemade Onion Sauce | 18.20 |
| Crispy Duck Confit with Citrus Sauce | 24.74 |
Steak & Lamb
Steak night without the steakhouse bill. The Australian sirloin and ribeye are the most popular, and if you are celebrating something, look at the big sharing cuts. The Porterhouse and Tomahawk need to be pre-ordered one day in advance, so call the restaurant before you go.
| Item | Price (S$) |
|---|---|
| AU Black Pepper Sirloin (200g) | 32.59 |
| AU Sirloin with Beef Sauce (200g) | 32.59 |
| AU Ribeye with Beef Sauce (200g) | 35.21 |
| AU Tenderloin with Beef Sauce (200g) | 41.75 |
| AU Wagyu Ribeye with Beef Sauce (200g) | 78.37 |
| T-Bone Steak with Beef Sauce (600g) | 82.30 |
| AU Porterhouse with Beef Sauce (750g), pre-order | 104.53 |
| Tomahawk Steak with Beef Sauce (1.3kg), pre-order | 183.01 |
| Lamb T-Bone with Mint Sauce | 31.28 |
| Rack of Lamb (Two Racks) with Mint Sauce | 39.13 |
A small tip from me: when you order steak, tell them clearly how you like it done, and if your cut does not look right, say so politely straight away. A few recent diners felt their steaks were hit or miss, so it is worth checking before you dig in.
By the Sea
For the days you want something lighter. The salmon with citrus cream is fresh and bright, and the dory is a gentle, easy choice if you are eating with kids or older parents.

| Char-Grill Sea Bass with Seafood Cream Sauce | 23.44 |

Pasta Favourites

Josh’s Famous Onion Rings
These deserve their own little section. They are huge, thick-cut rings with a light, crunchy batter and a soft, sweet onion inside, served with a creamy dipping sauce. They are not always listed on the delivery app, so order them when you dine in. One portion is easily enough for two or three people. Eat them hot. They are best in the first five minutes.
Hot Sides
This is where Josh’s Grill gets fun. So many sides, and they are not the boring kind. My favourites are the Baked Onion Rice with Crushed Almonds and the Garlic Butter Corn Ribs. If you love truffle, the Truffle Mash is very rich.
| Item | Price (S$) |
|---|---|
| French Fries | 6.43 |
| Mac and Cheese | 6.43 |
| Mash Potato | 6.43 |

| Fried Brussels Sprouts | 9.05 |
| Creamed Spinach | 9.05 |
| Truffle Fries | 12.97 |
Cold Sides & Salads
Something fresh to balance all that grilled meat. The Green Mango and Pineapple Salad has a sweet-sour, almost rojak-like dressing that I really enjoyed. It cuts through the richness perfectly.
| Item | Price (S$) |

| Homemade Potato Salad | 6.43 |
| Coleslaw Salad | 6.43 |

| Burnt Cheese Cake (by the slice) | 7.74 |

Soft drinks are the standard here. Dine in and you may also find their root beer float on the menu, which is a lovely little throwback.
| Item | Price (S$) |
|---|---|
| Coca-Cola Original Less Sugar | 4.58 |
| Coca-Cola Zero Sugar | 4.58 |
| A&W Sarsaparilla | 4.58 |
| Sprite | 4.58 |
Ordering Online: Delivery & Takeaway
Josh’s Grill does not have its own loyalty app like some of the big chains, but you can still enjoy it at home. The Bugis Junction outlet is available on the major food delivery apps in Singapore, and you can also call them on +65 6337 8633 to order takeaway and collect it on your way through the mall.
Two things I learned:
- Delivery costs more. App prices are higher than dine-in, so if you are already in Bugis, eat in or take away.
- Grilled food travels okay, fried food less so. Chicken chops and pastas hold up well. Onion rings and fries are best eaten at the restaurant.
Best Time to Visit Josh’s Grill Bugis
Bugis Junction is busy almost every day, so timing makes a real difference here.
| Time | Crowd Level | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|
| 11:30am – 12:15pm | Low to Medium | Just opened, calm, quick service. Great for an early lunch. |
| 12:15pm – 2:00pm (weekdays) | High | Office lunch crowd. Expect a short wait for a table. |
| 2:30pm – 5:30pm | Low | The quietest window. Perfect for a late lunch and slow conversation. |
| 6:30pm – 8:30pm | High (very high on weekends) | Dinner rush and shoppers. Come early or be ready to wait. |
| After 9pm | Medium to Low | Relaxed. Good for a late dinner after shopping. |
My tip: a weekday late lunch, around 2:30pm to 3pm, is the sweet spot. The grill is not rushed, you get your pick of tables, and you can actually hear each other talk.
Josh’s Grill Bugis Specials & Deals
- Pre-order sharing steaks: the Porterhouse and Tomahawk need to be ordered one day in advance. Great for birthdays and group dinners.
- Combos are the best value: two proteins plus sides on one plate cost less than ordering separately.
- Mall promotions: Bugis Junction sometimes runs dining deals and CapitaStar rewards for shoppers, so check the CapitaStar app before you pay.
- Seasonal specials: ask the staff if there is a special on the board. Menus change, and sometimes the specials are the best things in the kitchen.
Josh’s Grill Bugis for Families & Groups
- Kid-friendly food: chicken chops, fries, mac and cheese, and dory fish are easy wins for children.
- Great for sharing: order a few mains and a spread of sides for the table. It works out cheaper and everyone tries more.
- Groups and celebrations: the big sharing steaks make a nice centrepiece. Call ahead for larger groups so they can arrange tables.
- Easy to reach: ground floor of Bugis Junction, connected to Bugis MRT, so no long walks with tired kids or grandparents.
Tips for First-Time Visitors
Start with a chicken chop. It is the dish they do best and it is the best value on the menu. Pick at least two sides, and make one of them the Baked Onion Rice. Share a plate of the onion rings, because one portion is huge. If you want steak, say your doneness clearly and check it when it arrives. Avoid the 12:30pm and 7pm rush if you can. Plain water may come with a small charge, as in many Singapore restaurants, so ask if it matters to you. And if you are planning a celebration with the Tomahawk, remember to pre-order a day before.
After your meal, walk out into Bugis Street or across to Bugis+ for dessert. You are right in the middle of everything.

Final Note
Josh’s Grill is not trying to be the fanciest restaurant in Bugis. It is trying to give you a smoky, generous, honest plate of food at a fair price. And most days, it does exactly that.
I still think about that onion rice. And those ridiculous onion rings.
So next time you are wandering around Bugis Junction with tired feet and an empty stomach, follow the smell of the grill. Grab a chicken chop, pick your sides, share a plate of onion rings with someone you love, and slow down for a while.
That is what Bugis is all about for me. Good food, good company, and no rush.
See you around Bugis.
