Hikiniku To Come will open in Al Quoz in 2026.
Japanese chefs are known for their commitment to mastering every dish they serve. That same unwavering dedication comes to life in Dubai with the launch of a new restaurant, Hikiniku To Come. Located in Al Qouz, the venue will specialise in meat and rice.
Brought to the UAE by FYTE Hospitality, the same team behind the popular handroll bar Kokoro, Hikiniku To Come will open in 2026. The venue carries the tagline: “Just Ground, Just Grilled, Just Cooked. It’s Hikiniku To Come.” A teaser video on Instagram features a glimpse into the kitchen, sizzling grills, and scenes from the streets of Tokyo. The caption reads: “The most talked-about dining ritual in Tokyo is finally coming to Dubai. Three patties. One bowl. A moment the city’s been waiting for.”
For those who struggle with food indecision, this concept keeps things simple. Neither a burger nor a traditional steak, the signature dish sees fresh beef ground every morning, grilled over charcoal in front of you, and served atop steamed rice in a traditional hagama pot. The concept aims to turn meat and rice into an art form.
If you can’t wait to visit Hikiniku To Come, then visit Kokoro at Alserkal Avenue or in Nad Al Sheba. Chefs Daniel Lee and Patrick Pham founded Dubai’s first hand-roll sushi bar. The menu highlights sushi and yakitori, combining contemporary flavours with classic Japanese techniques. Note: seating is first-come, first-served, and reservations are not accepted.
