Kiku

I had already had other experiences in these types of restaurants. Some exciting, some exuberant, Kiku professional but all with great food.

The overall food is delicious, but the great thing about this restaurant is that you can eat katsudon (pork) in Dubai!

It was an amazing experience.very friendly staff, amazing food (even I don’t remember what we ordered) and the chef was very good too.

Y’all know I luv Gud fresh food right! So I decided to visit this amazing restaurant. So Gud. Food fresh. Environment clean. I just luv classy places where they prepare the food fresh. Highly recommended for those who luv Korea Asian food.

This is the best and the most authentic Japanese restaurant you can find.

The food is fantastic and the staff is great!

The balance between quality/quantity/price is just perfect.

The place is very busy and notably with Japanese people which means it's really authentic.

We are regulars there, but I just think I forgot to write the review of this place.

An excellent choice in this side of town, very convenient location and easy access, easy parking, food is excellent, service is also great, time of service is adequate, the atmosphere is perfect.
Family private traditional Japanese style seating is a great addition to the impression, I loved this place and definitely will recommend it, of course being in a 5 star hotel, the price is well justified.

The service was nice enough but unfortunately the teppanyaki chef mishandled the food. The seafood was overcooked, too much garlic and the tenderloin was practically boiled instead of being well seared. This was disappointing considering the reputation of the restaurant.

Now I undertand why it took me so long to get a table as it is always fully booked! We absolutly loved; sushi was a 1, rest of the food was amazing, the staff gave us very good recommendations on what to have and they were very nice.

Kiku is one of the most historical Japanese restaurants in Dubai, the price is reasonable. There are plenty of choice of their dinner menu. During the weekend would be very busy, better make a reservation in advance.

Countless time of visiting result me best Japanese restaurant in dubai. Especially friendly people with extraordinary Japanese local food. Highly recommended. I would say its my Japanese mom who always welcome us.

The service in the restaurant is really bad. The waiter was not familiar with the menu, no suggestions given during the ordering process, he had no interest in our order except writing it down. When chef started to cook tepanyaki I was appalled by amount of smoke that was blowing right in my face because exhaust was barely working. AC grilled on the ceiling is very dirty and burned. Exhaust vent is right above the heads and is very dirty. Smoked salmon salad is not a salad - just huge pieces of torn lettuce with smoked salmon thrown on top and that was it. Would not recommend.

The best sushi ever had koodoos to the super star Brandan, made my fiancee & myself feel at home, a must try place keep up the great job

My favourite place for Japanese when visiting Dubai. Other restaurants are also great at this hotel.

Awful service.servers seem to just want to go home, it wasnt even closing time yet! The food wasnt too great, the sushi rolls are warm! Not good if you’re serving fresh ingredients.dont order the pork and kimchi rice bowl, when they dont have pork, they will substitute with chicken, but thing is, it will have more kimchi and ginger than actual chicken pieces.disappointing.

The ambiance at Kiku's is awesome. The waiters are helpful and attentive. If you are new to Japanese cuisine, they will assist you in your decision making.
The sake was really good and the food was authentic. The menu is quite limited for vegetarian/eggitarian options, though what they have is quite authentic.
I had the veg tempura platter which was divine and I enjoyed it soo much that I had another.
The quantity is definitely one dish one person, though you can have a variety of items for a sharing table.
Having Japanese cuisine with date is definitely an experience and Kiku's delivers on that promise.

In general i have to say, it's not bad and also at the same time i can't say it's wow! Sake's experience is nice but the food we've order was not good or was not as per the 5 stars standard.

I rate kiku 5 star
Excellent service
Value for money
It was our 1st time. The staffs recommended the best dishes as per our taste bud.
Again staffs, food, Ambiance are excellent. All Japanese food lovers i would recommend to visit Kiku. And definitely we will be visiting again.
Thanks kiku for making us feel special.

My favorite Japanese restaurant in Dubai. All ingredients are fresh and of top quality. Amazing chef and service crew as well. Shout out to Jane and Joy!

Amazingly delicious experience, reasonable prices for the quality of the food, good white selection and atmosphere semi causal which is perfect. Booking in advance is must due to Covid restrictions otherwise the place is always full.

Food was absolutely wonderful. One of the best I've had. Service was amazing and staff were very friendly especially Daisy?

Probably my favorite Japanese restaurant in Dubai thus far. They say in Japan, "The way to a man's heart is his stomach, " and by golly have I fallen for Date-san and his wonderful cooking. Not the international flavor that is so common. I LOVE the Unaju as it's done Kansai style with grilled eel instead of the usual variety. If there's any point if improvement, I just wish they had Sapporo beer.

Great service, food, staff. Teppanyaki could've been better but overall a good experience. Wish they had vegan green tea ice cream!

One of the best Japanese restaurants even amongst the Japanese society. Food with genuine taste and Izakaya-ish style lineups are just something which attracts heart of Japanese expats. Conveniently located just next to the Dubai international airport. Good to stop by if you go to or come from the airport!

Always amazing coming to kiku.
Great warm staff.
The food is phenomenal, clean and filling.
A must must try for everyone.

We had a great experience at Kiku in Le Meridien Hotel Dubai. The fact that the place was packed with Japanese people was a great sign that the food would be authentic. They have a Japanese menu which we did not use (as I couldn't read it) and Teppanyaki tables. Teppanyaki was done to our taste without all that theatrical presentation from the chef. They cooked the food beautifully and we ate it. Simple and delicious. Their mixed pickle plate was excellent and I loved the Kaisou Salad. Overall, we had a lovely experience with good, fresh and delicious food. Next time we will try their sushi selection.

Sushi is good, so is the service. One negative which is the chicken karaage which wasn't nice, but it doesn't matter as you wouldn't typically come to a sushi restaurant to order a chicken dish.

My fiance and I went there last night and they made our night extra special. From the moment we went inside, they already have catered us and have walked with us to show us our table. The food are very tasty, has a huge portion for two and was so deliciously good, we have enjoyed each bite from the appetizer to our main course down to our tummy's bundle of joy; THE DESSERT! Ms. Rumalli and Ms. Mary Jane was our servers, they look soooo pretty in green along with their beautiful smiles and they would honestly tell u which one to take for those first timers and if its enough or too much for us. The best one for me is their Gyoza, I have taken Gyoza even when I was in Japan, and their Gyoza is so far the best Gyoza I have ever tasted! We would definitely visit again and would highly recommend it to our friends and family!

Very good Japanese restaurant. Here you can feel the Japanese style and atmosphere. Staff is gentle and nice. Need a visit if you like japanese cousine

Great food, fantastic service and also the teppanyaki experiences was absolutely great and delicious. Will be back soon

The Japanese nationals living in Dubai use this place, it is that good. A truly enjoyable experience every time. Great food great staff and Japanese drinks. Not too formal, you always have to book on weekends.
