I had a relatively ok lunch here, the meat was good in quality, but the amount was a bit too little. Anything else other than the meat was just not up…

Authentic, fresh, tasty and excellent Japanese food. By far the best steaks in Dubai. Sushi is also excellent and super fresh. Great Saki menu to top it off.
The most important thing about Kohantei is that it is not your average westernized Asian food stop. It features a kaiseki serving style that is true to Japanese kaiseki ryori eateries, and the food served will definitely NOT be for people who prefer spicier or mixed flavors (or the more common California Sushi Rolls) that have become commonplace with international dining, so please don’t go here expecting only sushi rolls and teriyaki.Kohantei is a very traditional, authentic experience of flavors of excellent grade meat and sashimi. Second only to actually being in Japan, it’s an experience that definitely takes you there and does it wonderfully. The presentation and experience itself are the best two hours you’ll spend there.You may even be visited by the owner, Ben, who is charming and adds as much to the experience as their lovely hosts. It’s become my favourite place to go to treat myself, and the gyudon and black sesame ice cream is out of this world- probably the best I’ve tasted anywhere. The Sakura menu set is good for two people, and very filling- how I wish I had the capacity to try their larger sets!
The most authentic Japanese restaurant in Dubai. Food is excellent, a real kaseiki cuisine experience (I’ve been to Japan twice so you can trust my judgement!). All the staff is Japanese and very welcoming. Definitely coming back for more!
If you are looking for super authentic Japanese kaiseki cuisine- this the place you have to visit! The set menu is priced at Aed 395 (the basic one) and I think it is worth every fil. Why? The attention to detail is superb- the juxtaposition of Australian and Japanese beef, the way the fish has been cut, the potatoes that are flown in from Japanese, the tofu soaked in an incredible broth. The staff is actually Japanese which is rare in Dubai. I think some previous reviewers missed the point of this place- it is not zuma (tho it’s priced similarly). This place is authentic and is the closest thing to Kyoto in Dubai. Also try the yuzu mocktail.
Phenomenal. Authentic Japanese with quality ingredients and lovely service. The Wagyu was out of this world. Not inexpensive but worth every dirham.
I tried the (sakura) most affordable menu there. It was a 6 course menu with two main Wagyu dishes. One was a pure steak dish (with one a5 wagyu and one 9+ australian), while the other was a sort of Donburi. Both were amazing! The staff was also extremely nice. One of my friends was not eating fish so they changed both of the fish dishes with meat dishes. The sashimi was a little insipid compared to meat meals. Overall I was really satisfied
The most authentic Japanese place in Dubai with fresh seafood and meat arriving from Japan twice a week. The sushi was perfect and the infamous Japanese steak cooked to perfection-it melted in your mouth! The atmosphere is perfect with lowered seating and taking your shoes off before you sit for your meal – like autistic Japanese restaurant. A must try!
