Get ready, Dubai – a unique Japanese dining experience is about to hit the city this December. Hikiniku To Come, a cult favorite across Asia, is bringing its one-of-a-kind concept to the UAE. This isn’t just any meal; it’s about turning hamburger steak and rice into something extraordinary. Hikiniku To Come takes a focused, minimalist approach to food, and the name itself says it all – “minced meat and rice.”
The restaurant’s philosophy is all about keeping it simple and perfect. They follow a “three just” principle: just ground, just grilled, and just cooked. This means you’ll enjoy ground beef patties grilled over charcoal, all while you watch it happen in front of you at an open counter.
The set menu at Hikiniku To Come promises a hearty meal, and the Dubai branch will likely serve something similar to what you’ll find in other locations. Expect three 90g hamburger steaks, a bowl of freshly cooked rice (refillable, of course), miso soup, homemade ponzu, grated daikon, condiments, pickles, and even a raw egg to add a special touch to your meal.
Hikiniku To Come already has locations in Japan, as well as Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Thailand, but now Dubai gets its turn. The exact location is still a mystery, but one thing’s for sure – you’ll want to come hungry.
If you’re into Japanese cuisine, Dubai has no shortage of great spots to explore. Check out Konjiki Hototogisu for delicious ramen, Yubi Handroll Bar for fresh handrolls, Ram & Roll for sushi, and Osaka Nikkei for a mix of Japanese and Peruvian flavors. There’s always something new to try! Stay tuned for more updates on new dining spots in the city.
