This chef’s specialty encompasses a harmonious blend of slow-cooked chicken broth infused with dashi, complemented by seared chicken and crowned with a rich mayu topping.
    YUI RAMEN HOUSE

    If you seek a culinary journey that embraces tradition and innovation, YUi Ramen House in downtown D3 awaits you.

      Netsu by Ross Shonhan offers a contemporary approach to authentic Japanese cuisines

      by

      Lifeby Camille Macawili2 hours ago Japanese restaurants are aplenty in Dubai’s highly competitive dining scene.With more than a handful to choose from in the city, Netsu faces stiff competition. But with a prestigious address that comes with stunning beachside and city views, a line up of mouth-watering gastronomy, and chef Ross’s incredible attention to detail, both in food and in decor – there’s a plenty of reasons to choose this lively Japanese steakhouse every time.We’re giving you five –1. The usual suspects (sushi and sashimi) are beautifully presented, fresh and hits the spot. Beyond that, you can savour different melt-in-your-mouth wagyu variants – from Japanese to Australian – seared in front of you by the restaurant’s grill masters. Its premium standards and an unfussy marinade mean that you get all the deliciousness with the perfect marbling and luscious fat, without any downsides leaving you craving for more. Let’s not forget one of the many stellar highlights: the truffle wagyu sando, probably one of the best in the city.2. Dubai has a fondness for Japanese restaurants however, not many are helmed by an acclaimed chef such as Australian-born Ross Shonhan. Through his culinary wizardry, the ex-Zuma and Nobu head chef takes a contemporary approach to authentic Japanese cuisines.3. Netsu is rooted in the ethos of straw fire cooking called Warayaki which originated from the Kochi Prefecture in Shikoku to give meats and seafood a unique flavorful taste – a first-of-its-kind concept in Dubai and the largest outside of Japan.4. Netsu’s design is as spectacular as its menu. The interior impresses with a vibrant design with a Kabuki indoor setting plus, beachside expansive outdoor terrace for al fresco dining during cooler months, and lastly, front-row counter seats to witness a theatrical spectacle of fiery flames and skills of Chef Ross’s hardworking team.5. Beyond the food, the service was also impeccable. The Netsu staff delivers best-in-class hospitality and warm service to ensure the dishes are up to par.For bookings and reservations, visit mandarinoriental.com/netsu or call +971 4 777 2232– For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and InstagramImages: Supplied More
