Kimura-Ya: A Slice of Japan in the Heart of Al Jaddaf

Tucked away on the first floor of the Marriott Hotel in Al Jaddaf, Kimura-Ya offers a deeply authentic Japanese dining experience that’s hard to come by in Dubai. Originating from Japan with over 200 branches, Kimura-Ya brings the spirit of a traditional izakaya to life through a rich blend of comforting food, warm hospitality, and immersive décor.

The ambiance hits the right notes from the moment you step inside — think soft lighting, wooden finishes, Japanese lanterns, and iconic Daruma dolls that lend charm and character. Designed by Mayuka Kojima, the interiors transport you straight to a cozy eatery in Tokyo, minus the 10-hour flight.

The menu is a true showcase of Japanese culinary tradition. Guests can indulge in everything from classic sushi and sashimi to heartier options like shabu-shabu hotpot and yakiniku (Japanese BBQ). The hotpot, in particular, is a standout — a bubbling pot of rich broth with fresh vegetables and thinly sliced meat that you cook at your table. For those craving variety, their unlimited sushi promotion is a crowd-pleaser, offering quality and quantity at a great value.

The restaurant also boasts an impressive selection of Japanese beverages, including sake, shochu, and premium Japanese whiskeys. Service is another highlight, with many staff members hailing directly from Japan, adding to the authenticity of the experience.

Whether you're a long-time fan of Japanese cuisine or exploring it for the first time, Kimura-Ya strikes the perfect balance between tradition and comfort. It’s more than just a restaurant — it’s a cultural experience, making it a must-visit for food lovers in Dubai.
