A Flavorful Japanese Delight at Kata Dubai Mall
Imagine a culinary escape right in the heart of Dubai Mall, where every bite takes you closer to Japan. That’s what we experienced at Kata Dubai Mall! Initially, we were headed to Origami, but an on-the-spot decision brought us to Kata, and what a fantastic choice it was!
Kata’s ambiance is perfect for those seeking a peaceful dining experience. We opted to dine inside, where the quietness allowed us to fully enjoy our meal, away from the busy crowd outside because of the view of the Burj Khalifa fountain.
The staff at Kata deserve a special mention for their outstanding service. They were not just attentive but also genuinely warm and knowledgeable, excitedly guiding us through the menu.
Our Kata journey began with the Spicy Edamame with Tobanjan Sauce. It was an explosion of flavors – the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, setting the stage for the amazing meal to follow.
Next was the Miso Chicken Ramen, a bowl of comfort that transported us straight to the streets of Japan. The combination of chicken, Ajitama egg, and corn in a savory broth was soul satisfying.
Then came the Spicy Salmon with Scallion and Gochujang. Each bite of the fresh, succulent salmon was a proof to the quality and freshness of the ingredients used at Kata.
The star of the night was undoubtedly the Tuna Crunch. With its unique blend of flavors and textures, it left us craving for more. A dish that alone makes a return visit to Kata a must!
Curious for more, we enjoyed the Shrimp Tacos recommended by our steward. These were not just tacos, they were a culinary masterpiece! The shrimp was cooked to perfection, placed in a wrap that was a delightful balance of soft and crispy. It was an unforgettable end to our meal.
For a total of AED 270 (about $74) for two, the experience was beyond worth it. Leaving Kata, we were not just full but already planning our next visit. If you’re in Dubai and craving authentic Japanese cuisine with a serene ambiance and excellent service, Kata at Dubai Mall is the place to be.
