Gochi So Shokudo Secret Menu
The Gochi So Shokudo secret menu does not exist as an official thing. The chain publishes no hidden menu, no secret code words, and no off-menu order sheet. What it does have is a set of quiet favourites that casual visitors walk past: the Iberico secreto cut, an outlet-only shabu shabu, a once limited kaisen don, and seasonal specials that come and go. This guide covers those honestly, with each dish flagged as current, outlet-only, or past.
Does Gochi-So Shokudo have a secret menu?
No, and that matters for how you read this guide. Some chains run a real off-menu list, but Gochi-So Shokudo runs a regular printed and delivery menu, and everything below either sits on that menu in a quiet corner or appeared as a limited special. We are not inventing a secret list here. Instead, the dishes below are the ones reviewers and regulars mention most when they talk about what newcomers miss, and each one carries its status so you know what to expect when you ask for it.

| Iberico Secreto Black Char Siew | Quiet favourite, on the ala carte list | S$18.90 |

What are the quiet favourites regulars order?
The quiet favourites are regular menu items that sit outside the headline donburi and katsu sets. The Iberico secreto leads the list: secreto is a specific Iberico cut, grilled over binchotan charcoal as black char siew, juicy and sweet with a smoky edge, served with pickled ginger. Older reviews list 6 pieces at S$9.80, and the current delivery menu lists IB jowl char siew ala carte at S$18.90, which is the closest current equivalent. The ebi katsu is another one: older reviews list 2 jumbo prawns at S$5.80, while the current ala carte price is S$10.90, so the value shifted a lot over time.
| Quiet favourite | Price | Why regulars order it |
|---|---|---|
| IB Jowl Char Siew (ala carte) | S$18.90 | The secreto style cut, charcoal grilled, good for sharing. |
| Ebi Katsu (ala carte) | S$10.90 | Jumbo prawns, crisp crumb, tartar sauce on the side. |
| Cheese Roll (ala carte) | S$9.40 | Cheese filled roll, pairs with any katsu set. |
| Lobster Salad | S$8 | A richer side that rarely gets mentioned in guides. |
| Crab Cream Croquette | S$4 | Cheap, creamy, and easy to add to any bowl. |
| Iberico Secreto 6 pcs (older report) | S$9.80 (dated) | The original sharing plate price from older reviews. |
Iberico secreto black char siew
Secreto is the cut that gives this guide its name, and it earns it. Iberico secreto sits between the shoulder and the loin, well marbled, and Gochi-So grills it over binchotan charcoal so the outside chars while the inside stays tender. Reviewers describe it as sweet, smoky and melt in the mouth, with pickled ginger to cut the richness. If you only try one quiet favourite, make it this one, and order the IB jowl char siew from the current ala carte list.
Which dishes are outlet-only or seasonal?
Outlet-only and seasonal dishes are the riskiest part of any secret menu guide, so here they are with dates attached. The Iberico pork shabu shabu was reported in 2021 as a Chinatown Point only dish at S$14.90+, with thin Iberico slices cooked in a pork and vegetable soup, served with rice and mushroom sesame sauce. The Kaisen Donburi at One Raffles Place was reported with a 50 bowl daily limit at S$17.80 dine-in and S$14.80 takeaway, plus a Gochi-So Set at S$18.80 where diners built their own plate from a spread. Seasonal specials rotate too: the Truffle Fair in late 2022 ran Truffle Cheese Mille Feuille at S$18.90++ and Truffle Chestnut Pork Jowl Don at S$12.90++, and the Halloween 2026 promo runs Cheesy Cordon Bleu Katsu and Teriyaki Pork Don at Wisma Atria.

Truffle fair and seasonal specials
Seasonal specials are the closest Gochi-So comes to a rotating secret list. The Truffle Fair dishes drew strong reviews, with the truffle cheese mille feuille praised for a crisp batter and a creamy mushroom and cheese centre, and the truffle chestnut jowl don for a gentle truffle note over charcoal grilled pork. Both ended in December 2022, so do not travel for them. The current seasonal pick is the Halloween 2026 promo at Wisma Atria, and past promos like the Katsu Kingu Set at S$10.90 and the Char Siew Matsuri from S$10.90 show the chain runs value specials often.
How can you order like a regular?
Ordering like a regular at Gochi-So is simple, because there is no code to learn. Start with a bowl or set from the main menu, then add one quiet favourite from the ala carte list, like the IB jowl char siew or the ebi katsu, to share. Ask at the counter whether the outlet serves shabu shabu or any seasonal special that day, since outlet menus differ and the Chinatown Point shabu shabu report is old. Check the current promo before you pay, since the chain runs S$8.90 to S$9.90 promo sets and outlet specials that beat the regular list prices, and confirm the price at the counter for any dish flagged as dated in this guide.
A regular’s order, priced from the current delivery menu: IB pork belly don S$14.90, plus IB jowl char siew S$18.90 to share, plus crab cream croquette S$4, comes to S$37.80 before delivery. Swap the belly don for the Oyako don at S$13.50 and the total drops to S$36.40. These are delivery menu prices, so dine-in totals may differ.
