Gochi-So Shokudo Value Meals
Gochi-So Shokudo value meals are not a printed value menu. The chain publishes no full online price list and no official value range, so value here means the cheapest reported sets, the promo dishes that undercut the regular price band, and the small choices, like takeaway over dine-in, that shave dollars off a meal. This guide pulls those figures together from reviews, guides and promo listings, dates each one, and says plainly where the price is old or outlet specific.
What counts as a value meal at Gochi-So Shokudo?
At Gochi-So Shokudo, a value meal is any set that gives you a main, rice, soup and a side for less than the regular reported band. The regular band sits around S$17.50++ for katsu curries in a 2023 guide, S$17.80 for the Iberian Pork Donburi and Kaisen Donburi in an older OpenRice review, and S$18.80 for the Gochi-So Set and the Iberian Pork Donburi Set in the same review. Anything clearly below that band, and anything that bundles soup, a side and a drink, earns a place in this guide.
That definition matters because the chain runs frequent promos instead of a fixed cheap tier. A dish can be a value pick one month and a regular price dish the next, and the same set can cost different amounts dine-in and takeaway. Judge value by what is on the tray and what the tag says on the day, not by a promo headline you saw months ago.
| Meal type | Reported price | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Regular katsu curry band | From around S$17.50++ | 2023 guide price, the normal set level. |
| Regular donburi set band | S$17.80 | Older review price, dine-in with soup and side. |
| Promo and value sets | S$10.90 to S$13.90 | Dated promos, see the table below. |
| Takeaway donburi | S$14.80 | Older review price, no soup or side dish. |
Which value meals cost the least?
The lowest reported full-meal prices cluster between S$10.90 and S$12.95, and every one of them is a dated promo or a user report, not a current regular tag. The Katsu Kingu Set was listed from S$10.90 until 30 November 2025, the Char Siew Matsuri dishes were listed from S$10.90 until 31 October 2025, and the Summer Katsu dishes were listed at S$11.90 to S$12.90 in mid 2025. A user post also reports a rice set at S$11.90 and a soba set at S$12.90, with no date attached, so treat those two as guide figures only.
The one value dish you can still buy at a listed price right now is the Halloween Teriyaki Pork Don at S$11.90, on sale at Wisma Atria from 1 October to 30 November 2026. The Halloween Cheesy Cordon Bleu Katsu at S$13.90 sits just above it. Both are outlet specific promos, so a different outlet may not stock them at all.
| Value meal | Reported price | Status and source |
|---|---|---|
| Katsu Kingu Set | From S$10.90 | Historical promo, ended 30 Nov 2025. |
| Char Siew Matsuri dishes | From S$10.90 | Historical promo, ended 31 Oct 2025. |
| Teriyaki Pork Don | S$11.90 | Current Halloween promo, Wisma Atria, to 30 Nov 2026. |
| Rice set, user reported | S$11.90 | Undated user post, guide figure only. |
| Summer Katsu dishes | S$11.90 to S$12.90 | Historical promo, June to July 2025. |
| Soba set, user reported | S$12.90 | Undated user post, guide figure only. |
| Signature Loin Katsu Set | S$12.95 | Anniversary promo, May 2025, dine-in only. |
| Cheesy Cordon Bleu Katsu | S$13.90 | Current Halloween promo, Wisma Atria, to 30 Nov 2026. |
Katsu Kingu Set
The Katsu Kingu Set is the headline value pick in the promo record, listed from S$10.90 across multiple outlets until 30 November 2025. A later user post describes a King Katsu Set at S$12.90 with an optional Combo B add-on of three extra items at S$6.50, which reads like a later or different listing of a similar set, and the two figures conflict. The honest reading is that the set existed as a budget katsu option, its price moved between listings, and it is not a live price you can count on today. Ask at the counter whether a king or value katsu set is running before you plan around it.
Are the promo sets good value, or just cheap?
A low tag is only good value if the tray still looks like a full set, and on that test the promo record is mixed in a useful way. The Halloween dishes are full mains, a katsu and a pork don, not snacks, and the Katsu Kingu Set was sold as a hearty set meal. The anniversary Signature Loin Katsu Set at S$12.95 was the signature loin cut at half price, which is the strongest value signal in the whole record, since the cut itself is the dish regulars judge the chain on.
The trade-off is availability. Promo sets are time boxed and often outlet boxed, the anniversary deal excluded Jewel on weekends, and the current Halloween pair is listed for Wisma Atria only. A cheap set you cannot buy at your outlet is not value, it is a wasted trip. Check the outlet, the dates and the dine-in condition before you travel for a promo price.
How can you build a cheaper meal from the regular menu?
Without a live promo, the cheapest reliable move in the reported prices is takeaway. The older review lists both donburi bowls at S$14.80 takeaway against S$17.80 dine-in, a saving of S$3.00, and the only things you lose are the soup and the side dish. If you eat near the outlet and do not mind skipping those two, takeaway is the best documented saving on the regular menu.
The second move is to skip the add-ons unless you want them. The same review lists a soft-boiled egg at S$1.00 on the pork donburi and a grated yam side at S$1.00 on the kaisen don, small sums that add up across a group. The third move is to share: a S$6.50 Combo B add-on to a King Katsu Set was described by a user as too much for one person but good for sharing, which turns one budget set into a two person tasting plate. None of these moves needs a promo, but all of them need a current in-store tag, since every figure here comes from older or user reported sources.
| Saving move | Reported saving | What you give up |
|---|---|---|
| Donburi takeaway instead of dine-in | S$3.00 per bowl | Miso soup and side dish. |
| Skip the S$1.00 egg add-on | S$1.00 | Nothing, unless you wanted the egg. |
| Skip the S$1.00 grated yam side | S$1.00 | Nothing, unless you wanted the yam. |
| Share a Combo B add-on | Splits S$6.50 across two | A solo portion, since it was reported as too much for one. |
