UMI is the trendiest Japanese restaurant in the emirate. The multi-award-winning dining experience gives you an insight into the complex nuances of Japanese cuisine that date back thousands of years. Try the resident Japanese chef Cristian Asato’s handmade gyoza, made with his favourite ingredients from his traditional childhood. The ‘street food’ Japanese dumplings are made with various fillings and are commonly known as potstickers.
The pan-fried wagyu beef or vegetable dumplings are crispy on the outside and delightfully soft and flavoursome on the inside. Allow the sommelier to introduce you to the expansive sake and wine menus for the ultimate gyoza pairing. Enjoy the dimmed lighting, metal-studded interiors and views across the Arabian Gulf to Al Marjan Island as you are transported to ancient Asia. Head to the first floor of the iconic Waldorf Astoria each Saturday to savour the magic of Cristian’s childhood homecooked-style gyoza.
Date and time: Every Saturday, 6.30 pm to 10.30 pm.
