Eighteen Chefs Promo Prices Singapore 2026
The headline Eighteen Chefs promo right now is the BYOC student and NSF meal from $8.90, running since 12 May 2026 at outlets across Singapore. It comes with iced lemon tea plus soup of the day or ice cream, which makes it a proper set rather than a bare main. Older set lunch and set dinner deals are still widely reported too, but treat those as unconfirmed until you check at the counter.
What is the current Eighteen Chefs promo?
The one promo with a clear start date and clear terms is the BYOC (Build Your Own Creation) student and NSF meal. It launched on 12 May 2026 and is listed as ongoing, with no end date published. That matters, because most restaurant promos come with a short window and a pile of fine print. This one is simple: show your pass, build your plate, and the drink and the soup or ice cream are part of it.
| Deal | Details | Price |
|---|---|---|
| BYOC Student and NSF Meal | Build your own creation: pick a base, pick a sauce, pick your ingredients. Iced lemon tea plus soup of the day or ice cream included. | From $8.90 |
| Student and NSF meals (general) | A separate October 2026 roundup lists student and NSF meals from $8.80, close to the BYOC price, which suggests the two figures describe the same family of deals at different outlets. | From $8.80 |
| Set Lunch (reported) | Previously reported set lunch with a main and a side. Not freshly confirmed for today, so check in store. | From $10.80 |
| Set Dinner (reported) | Previously reported set dinner with a free appetiser. Not freshly confirmed for today, so check in store. | From $14.80 |
One honest note: the $8.80 and $8.90 figures come from different listings, and outlet coverage differs between them. The $8.90 BYOC deal is the better documented one, with its own start date and terms, so that is the figure to plan around.
How does the student and NSF BYOC deal work?
BYOC runs in three steps, and the whole point is that you are not locked into a fixed plate. First you pick a base, then one sauce, then your ingredients. After a long school day or a training day, that flexibility is genuinely useful. You get something filling without paying for parts of a set you never wanted.
To claim it, bring a valid student pass or, for NSFs, your 11B. The freebies are part of the deal, not an upsell: iced lemon tea comes with the meal, and you pick soup of the day or ice cream to finish. If the outlet you visit runs a slightly different version, the staff at the counter will tell you what is included that day, so it is worth asking before you order.

What about set lunch and set dinner deals?
Set lunch from $10.80 and set dinner from $14.80 show up in older Eighteen Chefs listings, and they are still quoted on menu roundup pages. The set lunch is described as a main with a side of your choice, and the set dinner adds a free appetiser. Eighteen Chefs has also been reported as charging no service charge, with prices inclusive of GST, which would make those set prices unusually clean. I could not freshly confirm either set for October 2026 from an official source, so treat them as reported, not guaranteed.
If you are not a student or NSF, the set lunch is still the deal to ask about first at lunchtime. It is the closest thing to a general-audience promo the chain has, and the price gap between it and a regular main is small enough that it is worth the question. For the best-selling mains to pair with a set, our best sellers guide is a good shortlist.
Bring Your Student Pass
This is the single tip that unlocks the cheapest meals at Eighteen Chefs. The student and NSF deals run all day, every day, according to older chain listings, not just at lunch. If you qualify, there is rarely a reason to order a regular main at full price when the BYOC set exists. Just keep the pass handy, since the discount depends on showing it.
How can you save more at Eighteen Chefs?
Start with the BYOC set if you qualify, since it bundles the drink and the soup or ice cream. Then think about sharing: the mixed platter and the chicken and beef combo are built for two, and splitting one beats two solo mains on both price and variety. Weekday lunch is the other lever, since set lunch pricing, where it still runs, is aimed squarely at the lunch crowd.
- Ask about the set first: set lunch and set dinner may still run at your outlet even when they are not advertised online.
- Share a platter: a mixed platter plus one extra main feeds two for less than two full sets.
- Check the Bugis free-flow bar: Bugis was reported in April 2026 as offering a free-flow drink bar with any main, but that report is months old, so confirm it before counting on it.
- Skip the extras you will not finish: the BYOC soup or ice cream is already included, so think twice before adding a paid side.
About Eighteen Chefs
Eighteen Chefs is a Singapore Western food chain built around affordable, freshly prepared mains: cheese baked rice and pasta, grilled chicken, steaks, burgers and fried rice plates. It was founded with a social mission, giving work and training to youths and ex-offenders, and it keeps prices low enough that students and NSFs are its core crowd. Most outlets sit inside malls like AMK Hub, Bugis Junction and Tampines Hub, with campus outlets at NUS and NTU.
