Salty Broth

One diner enjoyed the Cloudy Ramen but felt its soup would be better with less salt.

The Bottom Line

Konjiki Hototogisu is a Japanese ramen restaurant in Nakhlat Jumeira, known for its rich, carefully presented bowls and relaxed izakaya-style setting. The reviews point first-time diners toward Shoyu Ramen, spicy ramen with a soft-boiled egg, and the signature broth with clam, chicken and subtle truffle oil. The menu also extends beyond ramen: gyoza, yakitori, tempura and tuna tataki are all mentioned positively.

This is an unusually practical choice for families. The dedicated kids’ play area lets children eat, draw and play, with colouring papers, crayons and toys provided; one review says diners can eat in the play-area space. There is also a kids’ menu, bubble drinks and desserts such as mochi ice cream and Mochi Parfait.

Adults get a calm, minimal Japanese atmosphere rather than a noisy play café. Service is repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and quick, while portions were called huge in one recent review. Driving is convenient according to one diner, who noted easy mall access and free parking.

There is one seasoning caveat: a Cloudy Ramen customer found the soup a little too salty. A dated review reported Cloudy Ramen at 62 AED, but treat that as a customer-reported price rather than a current menu quote.
