Unusual Eggplant

The grilled eggplant flavor felt unusual at first, although the reviewer enjoyed it more with each bite.

The Bottom Line

Kaen is a Japanese fusion restaurant in Dubai Mall, Downtown Dubai, worth considering when dinner needs both food and a view. Reviews mention sushi rolls, yaki soba, beef gyoza and wagyu dumplings, while the balcony can look towards the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain shows. The menu also extends into desserts and coffee, including a well-received V60.

The food feedback is unusually specific: guests praised the fresh, creative rolls, black dragon roll, kani salad and seafood dishes, and one reviewer compared the sushi quality with some of Dubai’s nicest sushi restaurants. Service is another consistent strength, with visitors describing the team as attentive, professional and helpful with recommendations. Families have a practical reason to keep Kaen in mind.

Staff prepared simple mashed potato and chicken for a nine-month-old, and another review describes careful attention to an allergy-free meal for a child. If you are visiting for the scenery, ask about balcony or view-facing seating and confirm the table when booking; one party had to change tables. Pricing was described as fair, with one reviewer giving an average of 80 to 100 AED, though no dish-specific prices were provided.

The grilled eggplant may taste unusual at first, so it is a more adventurous order than the crowd-favourite sushi or gyoza.
