Rebellious, Bold, and now Award-Winning
23rd June 2025
As a standout Japanese restaurant in Dubai, Ronin at FIVE LUXE JBR has earned the prestigious title of “Opening of the Year” in the MICHELIN Dubai Guide 2025.Less than a year since opening our doors, our Japanese hotspot has already claimed this prestigious title in the food industry. And if you’ve been, you know exactly why.
Ronin isn’t your typical Japanese fine dining experience. Inspired by irezumi—the ancient art of Japanese tattooing—this Japanese restaurant in Dubai is full of personality, with bold design choices, moody lighting, and a ceiling dripping in red lanterns. It’s dramatic, daring, and unforgettable!
The Rebellious Menu
Chef Sin Keun Choi has curated something special—flavour-packed dishes that are rooted in tradition but flipped on their head with a twist of modern flair. The menu is nothing short of playful, unexpected, and full of soul.
The attention to detail at this Japanese restaurant in Dubai is unmatched. Every dish is plated like a work of art, but nothing ever feels too precious to eat. The balance of flavours—from the umami-rich sauces to the citrusy bursts and smoky robata finishes—you’ll be craving more before you’ve even finished the last bite.
Modern Japanese Mixology
Ronin’s cocktail list is anything but ordinary, fusing Japanese ingredients with creative Japanese flair. Sip on the Golden Blessing—a bright, floral blend of Sakura vodka, lychee, and mangosteen with a citrusy kick. Or go bold with the Siege of Osaka, where hibiscus-infused vodka meets watermelon and a strawberry yogurt twist that hits that sweet spot.
Not feeling like a cocktail? Ronin also offers a wide range of premium sake, perfect for sipping solo or pairing with your favourite dishes.
Choose Your Dining Experience
This Japanese restaurant in Dubai is not just about what’s on the plate or in your glass—it’s about how you experience it. Whether you’re going all in on the Omakase (pro tip: sit at the open kitchen counter for the full show), getting front-row seats to the sizzle at the Teppanyaki grill, or dropping by for an epic Ramen & Hand Roll weekend lunch, every visit feels like a bit of a celebration. You can even escape to one of the pagoda’s or private dining rooms.
But what really sets this Japanese restaurant in Dubai apart is its ability to make fine dining feel fun. You’re laughing, sharing, passing plates, ordering “just one more” round of gyozas, and clinking cocktails while watching chefs work their magic. It’s immersive, high-energy, and an unmatched experience!
