About Reif Japanese Kushiyaki

Reif Japanese Kushiyaki is a Japanese restaurant by Singaporean chef Reif Othman, whom its site describes as one of the few entirely self-funded chef restaurateurs in the UAE. His cooking takes Japanese sensibilities as its base, with a nod to Italian and French fundamentals, and new dishes are a daily fixture. The site credits him with dishes that started trends across the country, including a yuzu and lemon cake shaped like a toilet roll that went viral during the pandemic, a wagyu sando and the kushi skewers the restaurant is named for. Its venues are at Dar Wasl, Dubai Hills, City Centre Mirdif and Time Out Market Dubai, and it also offers private chefs and canapés at home. When checked in November 2026, these details were taken from the restaurant's own website.
