Experience an exquisite Japanese set-menu at TakHisa.
TakaHisa is the result of a collaboration between namesake master chefs Takashi Namekata and Hisao Ueda. Known for their exceptional sushi and top-tier Wagyu, this spot has become one of Dubai’s most celebrated — and effortlessly charming — Japanese restaurants, setting the gold standard for fine dining in the city.
Recognised by the Michelin Guide 2024, awarded three Toques by Gault&Millau, and ranked No. 41 in Middle East & North Africa’s 50 Best Restaurants, TakaHisa blends authentic Japanese tradition with contemporary artistry — and has the accolades to prove it.
At TakaHisa, the omakase experience — meaning “I’ll leave it up to you” — is a refined, chef-led journey through the freshest seasonal ingredients, crafted to surprise and delight with every course.From locally-sourced produce to premium seafood from Japan’s Toyosu Fish Market and A5 Kobe beef with a perfect marble score of 12, TakaHisa is committed to using the finest ingredients, with a focus on quality and sustainability. Trust us, we haven’t tasted fresher seafood or better-quality meat outside of Japan!
At this understated, warmly lit restaurant, you’ll find tables, booths, and counters — but the focus is always on the on the Michelin-starred maestros working meticulously behind the counter. For the ultimate experience, sit at the Sushi and Kobe beef counter to enjoy a special Omakase course, featuring a multi-course meal of the most precisely crafted dishes that will stun you into silence.
There are three options: sushi omakase, Wagyu, or a combination of both. Depending on your preference, you can choose any of them — but honestly, there’s no wrong choice. However, if you want to experience the best of both worlds, the mixed option is the way to go.
From delicate seafood sourced through auction to the rarest Wagyu beef, each course flows with rhythm, becoming a theatrical affair of taste and artistry. Indulging in some of the best caviar in the world to the rarest sea urchin and exquisite black summer truffle, the intricate and inventive dishes are nothing short of unbelievable.
Every element is meticulously crafted to create a fully immersive, aesthetic, and multi-sensory dining experience. The presentation stands out — the sushi comes on a sleek platter with a gold finish, and desserts are served on Louis Vuitton plates for that extra touch of luxury.
TakaHisa is a once-in-a-lifetime destination, and while the flawless experience comes at a premium, it’s one that will stay with you long after.
