REIF Japanese Kushiyaki - Dubai Hills

Special place which is great for a date night or birthday treat. The tables are intimate but it doesn't feel crowded, and the staff are attentive without being intrusive. For a dinner, there doesn't appear to be 'cheap' options but that's probably not what anyone dining here is going for - this is an event location and they do that very well. The food was absolutely beautiful, and the cocktails were a treat too.

The food was amazing but service is outstanding. Jeffrey’s service truly elevated our dining experience. He was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and provided excellent recommendations. Thanks to him, we tried a few dishes we wouldn’t have considered otherwise — the Angus beef claypot and Kushi Gyu truffle mayo were absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared along the chicken gyoza with the best spicy sauce! Jeffrey was polite and spot on with his food suggestions. What stood out most was Jeffrey’s genuine hospitality. Great food and best service thank you

Came here on a Saturday night and was pleasantly surprised. It’s perfect for a relaxed evening – music isn’t too loud, lighting is spot on, and it’s great for a proper conversation. Food-wise, everything we ordered hit the mark. The avocado with black pepper teriyaki was a unique and delicious twist – definitely a must-try. The rock shrimp tempura was also solid. Highlights for me were the chicken sando, the angus truffle mayo (impeccable!), and the surprise standout – the mushroom claypot rice. I was skeptical, but one bite changed my mind. Service was excellent – friendly, helpful, and attentive. I’ll definitely be back!

Great food, nice atmosphere, and the area is charming. I still think the original REIF was better but haven’t been back there is sometime. It’s probably more of a weekday or quiet night dinner spot. The wagyu sando will always remain the highlight. But for the me the pickled fruit and veg is my favorite (melon and daikon). The mushroom claypot was excellent as well.

The experience here is always unbelievable! I could literally come every day! The food is that good🥰 The staff is super friendly and welcoming, which makes it even better. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Dubai!

We had an amazing dining experience at Reif Japanese Restaurant in Dubai Hills Mall! The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We totally loved it! Definitely one of the good ones in Dubai, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

From start to finish, everything was outstanding! The staff’s attention to detail and level of customer service were truly unmatched, better than any restaurant I’ve experienced. They were not only incredibly kind and helpful but also impressively knowledgeable about the menu. The food? Absolutely unforgettable. Each dish was a standout, and the flavours were unlike anything I've had before, it’s safe to say I’ll be coming back regularly. While the menu is on the pricier side, the exceptional atmosphere and remarkable taste more than justify it.

I was here the first time and the place left a very good impression! I was served by a trainee(Gain, my pleasure to meet you ❤️), but he was very good, told me about the place and helped to make a choice within 1 minute! My choice was 18h Ramen and it was the best I had — not too fat, not too heavy, flavorful, a lot of chicken and also the skewer is 🔥🔥🔥 Highly recommend!
