Diners and staff members at a Yakiniku Like outlet at Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ) Mall, evacuated the premises after a fire broke out on 5 November.
Yakiniku Like confirmed the incident and said that a fire had indeed broken out at their restaurant, and the outlet has since been closed for maintenance.
They also apologised for the disruption caused by the incident.
Videos of the incident emerged online, with TikTok user @jazminandaya sharing on her account, showing smoke billowing from a stove.
Customers were seen covering their noses to prevent themselves from breathing in the smoke.
The restaurant was “smokey”, with smoke filling up the premises as both the customers and the workers evacuated the area.
