Big fan of this place, from Japanese traditional breads to so many cute little asian twist of pastries of sweets and savory, indoor and outdoor set ups are available. Not so good nice during summer in an outdoor tho but they have the cooler that can ease the temperature and humid outside. Staffs here are super nice and attentive. Good job on the level of customer service here. Will comeback and highly recommended for a quick bite and for real meal!
I came here for an afternoon treat and bubble tea. I really liked the atmosphere, alot of Japanese cafe vibes. However I would not recommend the bubble tea. The tapioca was not up to standard and the banana pastry I ordered was just OK (a bit dry in my honest opinion). Perhaps its because we came on a weekend afternoon during Eid and we were the only ones at the cafe. Perhaps we will come back next time to try the food.
I have been a regular customer of this restaurant. I have introduced it to my friends, colleagues and even clients and they all like Yakitate. The food has a variety of options from pastries, snacks, main courses and desserts and even drinks. The place is clean and has a pleasant and soothing ambiance especially in the evening. But the main reason for visiting this restaurant often is the staff. All of them are friendly, attentive, caring and welcoming especially Annabel. She is the epitome of a perfect hostess/waitress. She is excellent in customer service and gets along well with everyone. I highly recommend this place anytime of the day.
I came from Japan.🗾I used home delivery. 🏍The packaging was perfect.🍀Miso ramen cannot be eaten as it is, so I think its a good idea to put all the ingredients in a pot and bring them to a boil. Because noodles and ingredients change deliciously by cooking. Since the seasoning is strong, you can make it more delicious by adjusting the seasoning there.🍀Stir-fried eggplant and beef with miso was disappointing because almost no eggplant was found.🍀Originally, Japanese rice is closer to mochi and has a high aroma. Unfortunately, it is not offered here.🌈Next, I would like to actually go to a restaurant.
Went to Yakitate expecting to enjoy a good Japanese meal. Was largely let down by the food taste and presentation.The ambience is good, the pink blossom 🌸 decor is nice.It is good as a fusion food restaurant but it does not fit the bill as a Japanese restaurant !Also note that the prices have increased significantly and a simple Donburi costs 45+ AED.The service is good.
Not sure if you will like it but not my taste. Sorry guys!The place is neat and clean. You can give it a try with many choices. Location is easy to find.
Love this place! Great food and great staff. Been coming here to try different drinks, baked items, sushi, fried food, appetizers and more. So far I have recommended this restaurant to ask my friends looking for a nice Asian restaurant. Indoor seating is a bit cramped bit outdoor seating is plenty. Try the Syphon coffee and chicken gyoza or edamame.
Excellent cheesecake and Hokkaido cheese tart. Super creamy and very delicious. The chocolate Swiss rolls is also really fluffy and nice. Affordable and good quality Japanese desserts 👍🏼
Came here as my friend brought me here for his treat. We were the four of us.I decided to go for the The Dragon and the Honey Avocado. Both of which were recommended by the kind waitress.The Dragon looked spectacular, but its not the way I want to have my sushi. A one time try but not again.The Honey Avocado was just out of this world! Wow. I have to come back here to try it again! It was fantastic! The best avocado drink Ive had till date.4/5. Beautiful scenes inside the restaurant
Good brewed coffee. Delicious pastries
One of the best Japanese restaurants in town. Sushi burgers , ramen burgers and their pastries are worth to try.
Great Japanese Cafe serving authentic japanese dishes and bites. Good selection of dishes nd flavours. Their ramen burger is a must try along with any of the platters they serve. Every dish has its own signature taste and is uniqueYoull like the place and ambience.The presentation of food is also spot on!
Lovely ambience and food...the staff are polite n smiling and food served was great.. little expensive if planning any treats or such but was fine for dining alone or with a friend
Nice Japanese affordable good quality for a quick lunch or dinner 😁
My husband happened to discover this Japanese bakery in Old Dubai, and it is heaven. Ive visited this place many times since, and have tried quite a few things and loved them all.We have tried the following:*Chicken Yakitori - Pieces of grilled chicken thighs on skewers served with teriyaki sauce. A great choice for starters..*Chicken Katsu Curry Ramen Burger - Tried the Ramen burger for the first time. Ramen noodle pancakes are used in place of a bun. It was nice and something different, albeit a little messy to eat. Its something you should surely try once, even if ramen noodles are not your thing.For drinks, we have tried the Sangria Tea, Taro and the Espresso. The first two are refreshing, but the Espresso is just amazing. Its frozen espresso cubes, served with an espresso shot, condensed milk and fresh milk on the side. When mixed together they just taste divine. The taste of the coffee gets stronger with time as the cubes melt.My first visit here was for dinner, but the many trips after were just for their Kiri Cheese Bun. This is my absolute fav here.The baked cheesecake is what the bakery is famous for. Order it with salted caramel on the side and you wont regret it. The cake is light and fluffy and you just cant have enough. They also serve a large selection of other confectionery and baked goods ranging from pastries to freshly baked breads. The prices are reasonable and the staff always welcome you with a smile.
Who would not love the amazing japanese food. Yakitate at Ibn Battuta Mall is the place if you are craving for japanese and asian cuisine. The bakery also has loads of yummy and colorful bread and pastries to satisfy not only your stomach but your eyes too.😋👍For dine in, better get a reservation or you’ll end up waiting on the queue. The flying noodles is a must try.😉
It is nice place. Another presentation idea for sushi, well i am not sure if you will be able to enjoy the sushi as you know it. Because it is hard to use chopsticks, you should try it for once. However it is up to you if you like to eat sushi in this way. Price are afordable and portion are big enough.
Ok, so, originally I wanted to visit this place just for deserts. But it actually has pretty decent Japanese dishes. Most of them are very cute. You just have to see these sushi donuts or rice burgers. And desserts. They are little works of art. Definitely a must visit place in Deira...and on Dubai all together!P.S. Try their siphoned coffee. It has cool presentation and tastes great!
Sumptuous quick bites, cakes and pastries served here. There are variety of hot and cold drinks to go with your favorite cakes and bread as well.
Ramen is small portion, price is reasonable, food is not bad. Worth trying.
Izzz gooood especially ramen
Nice place
The buns and cheese cake taste so so.
Pastries are so cute. Taste yummy too. All the staff at Alghurair Dubai branch are welcoming and friendly.Enjoy with my family.
The bread and pastries are good, but the drinks are hit and miss. Most of the matcha drinks is a bit watered down. I suggest order something else.
One of the best place to experience Japanese cuisine. Visit their bakery and try the Matcha Keropi and a slice of Vanilla Crepe (check the photos). They have these varieties of cute baked goods that were creatively designed and some are based from anime/Japanese cartoon characters. Tastes good and it’s budget friendly too! I enjoy every visit. Servers were nice. They also serve other food like Ramen Burger and Milkteas. They also deliver and sometimes they have promos too!
Amazing 🍣 sushi burger and 🍫 sweetS.
Them food brings Japan memorys. I love it.
Delicious food!! loved the sushi , I personally did not like the ramen burger, but its definitely something that you should try 😋
In love with this, the staff is very friendly and the food is excellent
The food is nice I like it
Highly recommend. This place serves authentic Japanese cuisine. Very tasty and beautiful dishes. Pleasant peaceful ambiance. Well behaved staff.
Located beside the Al Ghurair Centre this Japanese Boutique Bakery is busy and I’m not surprised! 🌸 With on-site bakers 👨🏼🍳 they’re always replenishing their pretty stocks with all kinds of sweet sensations, beautifully decorated and making it hard to choose! 😋 We finally selected their strawberry 🍓 and chocolate 🍫 Oreo cupcakes! I photographed all to show you guys what we saw 👍😊 Light, fluffy and really delicious the Japanese 🇯🇵 style of baking is hard to resist. Their prices were amazing considering the high quality, our cakes 🍰 were just AED 10 each. Highly recommended give them a try! Love 💕 the cakes for kiddies too! 🌹
Their food and drinks menu have good selection of japanese food and pastry. However, the food taste isnt really up to my expectation, the presentation looks great though.. The pastry is mainly recommended - the japanese cheesecake specially, it was fluffy, fresh, perfect 👌
The attention and the food were incredible. A place to repeat.
Good Cafe ShopNew Baked goods
I gave the place 2 stars only for the friendly staff♥️😘I came to Yakitate excited to try the Japanese soufflé cheesecake, unfortunately, it turned out to be the worst cheesecake I ever had😔It simply tastes like... Cheese....I also tried iced brown sugar/ classic milk tea which were below average😔The matcha cappucino was a disaster too...I loved the place, but the food was not my favorite
Good place to try the Japanese pastries and bakeries. Japanese cheese cake is a must try. Fluffy, softy and melting in the mouth. Very nice pastries in animal characters. Good looking and tasty. Not to sweet. Also, recommended to try classic bubble milk tea or matcha bubble milk tea with less sweet. The bubbles are softy and chewy. Sweet for life.
Yummy japanese pastries!Good coffee quality too :)
Awesome, real Japanese experience! They have the famous Japanese cheesecake!
I highly recommend their milk teas, esp Hokkaido, avocado, and honey flavors. And of course, their souffle cheesecake! It’s so good; fluffy and not too sweet for my taste.What i didn’t like was their lunch meals (at least the ones i’ve tried). Tori katsu don & ebi katsu curry don were too salty.
So tasty cake and yummy deserts , reasonable price for sushi , professional staffs made me feel welcome , I will certainly come again I love their drinks , Red bean cream is highly recommended for yall
For some good pasteries
Perfect Japanese food and sweet
Good quality Japanese food for reasonable prices they offer. The bakery is also great for a quick bite. The sushi is of decent quality. The place is small with minimal seating so expect to wait for a table specially for lunch where they offer special prices.
After hearing a lot about quirky japanese pastries on offer, we finally decided to try some at Yakitate in Al Ghurair Centre.The huge array of cute little cakes and sweet bakes had us confused at what to order, and they are attractively priced as well.We finally ordered the Pikachu cheese tart which had a cute Pikachu face on it , and was really delicious, with the chocolate filling and cheese outside combining really well to produce a nice warm flavor. This is recommended and is totally worth its price at 14 Aed.We also had the Keropi tart with matcha topping- this too was great in presentation with an emoji design, but the matcha flavor was a bit overpowering to our taste buds.The banana butterscotch was an interesting dish, with a ripe banana slice covered in soft butterscotch batter, this was fluffy and delicious, and at 9 aed, quite the deal. The sweetness was not overpowering, and the dish is quite filling as well.We ended with a nice warm cup of hot chocolate which was presented in a nice cup with a candle lit support below. The hot chocolate was just right, and was soothing.We are definitely coming back for more, as the choice of cakes is too large to finish in one sitting.Visit date : 7th September 2018
Good, varied, but could be fresher.
Great food & service 😍😍😍 good job kabayans👍🏆
The best Japanese food
Authentic Japanese food! Wide array of delicious menu at a very reasonable price. Outside seating available and excellent post the summer peak starting from the months of October to May. A must visit for those Japanese cuisine enthusiasts and even for the native Japanese. Aside from the meals, plenty of bread choices available for those who crave for one or wanted to have a quick bite. Accessibility is guaranteed being situated in the heart of Al Rigga - Al Ghurair Centre and with a free parking facility!
Best place to experience authentic japanese sweets! try their macha latte and their japanese cheesecake (cheese soufflé) ❤️
Japanese taste in the heart of Dubai & its a must try experience for all foodies out there.Yakitate special cheese cake along with the caramel topping is not to miss.All there desserts have less sugar content make it appealing for health concious people.Update on Feb 2019Been there again, tried chicken yakitori, ebi fry, sea food miso ramen, cheese cake and some confectionery items. They still keep the reputation in terms of quality and service.
Nice place to eat.
Best modern Japanese concept restaurant in Dubai a must visit place
Superb!❤ salmon bento ftw 👏👏
Lovely place to pass by try Japanese cheesecake its wow
We recently went to Yakitate in Al Ghurair and had a good experience. We chose to sit outdoor, which has a very nice ambience that went well with our dinner date. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Food was okay as well and not too pricey. Will surely come back again.
Staff are accomodating and sensitive to their customers needs 😊💕
Amazing menu ! Delicious and fresh food 😋
The staff 👌The food 🤤😍Thanks you 💕 Yakitate Dubai
Always delicious food and amazing service. I love it!
Nicely
Only thing I liked there was this pistachio coffee shake ...the food didnt taste good at all had the sushi and the prawn salmon chilli wouldnt go back
Try the Japanese Syphon coffee, try the pastries so delicious, stuff need more training
More affordable than Yamanote, same great taste. Offers delicious sweet and savory pastries. They serve also the famed Japanese cheesecake. Hot dishes are available also (sushi burgers/yakitori/donburi). Great drinks options (so many matcha variations!). Only con is the venue--way too small for its growing customer-base.
High Quality & good price.
I tried the Japanese cheesecake and it was nice
I am not a cake fan but the souffle cheesecake here is just awesome. The chiffon cake is unavailably soft and spongy, youll either love it or hate it. A loaf of sliced bread with just 7 slices is AED 10; definitely didnt justify tge cost for me. They also do a beef curry doughnut, I wanted to try it but was full from dinner. Definitely will go back for the cheesecake!
The staff is friendly, the ambiance is excellent and the pastry is affordable and delicious.
