Virgin Izakaya DXB

Insider Tips

Japanese izakaya with a fun, irreverent take on the format. The small plates and cocktails are both good. Better for a social evening than a quiet dinner. The karaage chicken and gyoza are reliable starters.

Insider tip

Description

Skip the predictable sushi spots—Virgin Izakaya nails the messy, boozy energy of Tokyo's back alleys with stellar yakitori and sake pairings that actually match the food. The waterfront views from Bluewaters are a bonus, but you're really here for the charred skewers and the crowd that knows how to have a proper night out.
