The Bottom Line

Mimi Kakushi is a Japanese Restaurant & Bar in Jumeirah with a strong focus on sushi, cooked dishes and cocktails. Reviewers repeatedly point to the miso black cod, Wagyu gyoza, truffle rice and carefully made sushi, while the bar gets attention for movie-inspired signature drinks. It suits date nights, special dinners and brunches more than a quick, casual meal.

The setting is a major part of the appeal: warm, dimly lit and richly detailed, with a retro-Japanese character that several diners found distinctive. Brunch reviews describe well-paced courses, good drinks and elaborate dessert platters, and one midnight booking received prompt service and an unhurried meal. The restaurant also appears comfortable handling birthdays and larger celebrations.

Budget accordingly. Diners commonly describe it as expensive, although one review put the business lunch at around 150 AED and considered that good value; another reported a restaurant-week menu at 125 pp. Vegetarian choice may be narrow, with mushrooms appearing repeatedly in the available options.

Service is often praised as warm and professional, but a few visits involved late or cold dishes, poor follow-up and an unwelcoming attitude. Couples should also note that one reviewer found tables very close together, with limited privacy.
