Goro Goro serves up a satisfying steamboat with rich, flavorful broths and fresh ingredients. The meats are tender, seafood is fresh, and the variety of veggies and dumplings rounds out the meal. Simple, comforting, and great for casual gatherings.

Gladys Heng
Lovely spread and definitely a place for gathering! Can really eat till you drop man. Love their wide range and fresh items for steamboat and not forgetting the fresh seafood too! Yums! Seafood and fried chicken wings only available during dinner ya!

Yan Li
Gorogoro has been my comfort food since my college days some 10 years ago. This is the place I bring my friends and classmates. And today this is where I bring my colleagues. The variety of food available is great value for the price. For meats, I recommend the beef short plate and the marinated beef and for seafood I recommend the juicy and succulent octopus legs. Simply delicious. There are also Korean style cooked food available and I wholeheartedly recommend the fried chicken – its skin is crispy and sweet and meat tender. For soup base, I recommend fiery mala and collagen combination. The collagen is especially rich and tastes really good. Drinks and condiments are available without additional cost, a rare find among steamboat restaurants these days. Service crew is friendly and Gorogoro does not suffer from lack of manpower affecting some other steamboat restaurants. Plates are cleared quickly. For alcohol lovers gorogoro has soju available as separate purchase. I highly recommend Gorogoro for any occasion!

Customer Reviews

Elaine C.
Ordered the small Red Garoupa fish steamboat and broth was fabulous. The soup broth tasted good without being too salty.  The fish slices were thick and tender and the serving was enough for two. The chips that were served as appetisers were very crunchy and yummy. The same goes for the prawn rolls which were very well-fried and tasty. Service was swift, food was served pretty quickly and staff regularly top up the soup. Staff were also polite and attentive. Ordered some potato leaves, tofu and prawn paste chicken back and feedback from the family was good too. Overall, good dining experience. Reservations are required as the seating capacity is not huge.

Dominic Chong
Food is totally awesome! Fish steamboat soup very tasty. Ordered tofu, potato leaves, prawn paste chicken. All are good. Recommended! Do make sure you make reservations as the restaurant is always full house.

SK
My dad’s favourite place for fish head steamboat so we went there for his birthday lunch. We chose the badang fish option which had no bones so that it’s easier for everyone to eat. The soup was sweet and delicious and fish was fresh. We also ordered their signature homemade tofu, prawn paste chicken (prawn paste taste is strong!), qinglong vegetables, clay pot pig liver and all were good. My favourite is still the soup. Will come back again but recommended to make reservations for big groups cause the restaurant is quite small.

Their yusheng sauce is sweet and sour instead of the usual plum sauce. The veg used is very diff from the usual. It’s a good change! Steamboat ingredient is great and soup taste solid. Love the Xiao long xia, they offered to peel the shell for us which all of us is happy. Will revisit again!

Customer Reviews

Hardik Viradiya
Just found out this place and it has got to be my new favourite! I love steamed food and steamboat – here they have everything!! We opted for the steamed food. There is a pot of porridge at the bottom of the steamer. Every food you order goes into the steamer and the more you order, the sweeter your porridge would be as the juice from the food you’ve ordered will flow into the pot of porridge at the bottom. What a brilliant concept!!

Jinn
My recent dining experience was nothing short of impressive! As a fan of authentic steamboat cuisine, their diverse array of high-quality, fresh ingredients certainly did not disappoint.

rachel tang
This is my favourite steamboat restaurant now ! Love their individual pot so I can eat whatever I like and customise it based of my preference. Their 1 for 1 wagyu ribeye set is super worthy and available for whole day. We will be back again!
