The Restaurant 

Kinoya is more than just a restaurant; it is a deeply personal expression of Japanese culture, rooted in two fundamental aspects of daily life in Japan: Izakaya and Ramen.Inspired by the warmth and conviviality of traditional Izakayas, Kinoya invites guests into a welcoming space where good food and meaningful conversations come together. Unpretentious and intimate, it is a place where regulars return for comfort, and new guests are greeted with sincerity.

At the heart of the Kinoya experience is Ramen, humble yet precise. Each bowl is a labor of love, featuring carefully selected ingredients, slow-simmered broths, and handmade noodles that honor the essence of this beloved Japanese staple.But the journey doesn’t stop there. From Donabe and Onsen Tamago to silky Dashi and delicate Omurice, our menu brings to life the textures, stories, and seasonality of Japanese home cooking. Every dish and detail from the aroma of simmering broths to the quiet elegance of the interiors is designed to transport you.Kinoya is a tribute to tradition reimagined in Dubai. It is a space where everyday Japanese cuisine is thoughtfully crafted, shared, and experienced with authenticity, artistry, and heart.
