Zayed City

✨ HighlightI think it is the best Japanese restaurant abroad. I thought Makino in Cairo, Egypt was excellent, but I was surprised that the level here was even higher. I had the opportunity to visit Dubai two weeks in a row, so I went here twice for dinner. We were staying at Raffles and found this restaurant by chance. It is located on the top floor of Raffles and was open for walk-in dinners on Saturdays. Most of the chefs seemed to be Japanese, and we felt nostalgic in the restaurant where Japanese language was spoken. I was shocked to see pork dishes on the menu. We had sushi platter, ramen, tonkatsu, unagi, pork kakuni, corn tempura, etc. on our two visits, all of which were really delicious. I had the impression that overseas, sushi in particular would be spongy tuna, salmon would still be good, and almost no other fish, but there was a wide variety and all were delicious, which made me feel that the fish was purchased from Japan and cooked by Japanese chefs. The pork dishes were also good , and I ended up eating too much. It may be expensive compared to Japan, but I think the price is reasonable if you can enjoy this quality of Japanese food overseas. I was impressed to be able to eat Japanese food of a quality that I can never have because I usually live in Pakistan. I will definitely visit this restaurant again when I visit Dubai.→
