From the sushi, we tried the Spider Crab Gunkan with smoked caviar (Dhs95), and two rolls: the Spicy Tuna with jalapeño, yuzu tobiko and spicy mayo (Dhs105), and the Spicy Salmon with cucumber and sesame (Dhs90) – both were full of flavor and balance.

Next up was the Truffle Wagyu Gyoza (Dhs155) – silky, rich, and beautifully balanced with truffle ponzu. From the kushiyaki grill, the Black Cod (Dhs115) was perfectly grilled and buttery. The Lobster Linguine (Dhs550) was, without exaggeration, the best we’ve ever had – coated in cherry tomato sauce and shiso ponzu butter. And the Japanese Wagyu Beef Kushiyaki (500g for Dhs750)? Unforgettable – tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.

We ended on a sweet note with the Kokuto Crème Caramel with Granny Smith Mille-Feuille (Dhs85) – light, sweet, and smooth. Then came the indulgent Hazelnut Coulant with Vanilla Ice Cream (Dhs105), which delivered a rich-meets-light finale.
