Strawfire by Ross Shonhan
Contemporary Japanese
The open kitchen runs on live fire and the DJ runs loud, which sets the mood at this contemporary Japanese restaurant inside Emirates Palace. Ross Shonhan built his name around Warayaki, a technique where burning straw briefly kisses the ingredients, and the tableside prep keeps things theatrical. Sake, bespoke cocktails, and a terrace when the Gulf air cooperates round out an evening that leans more spectacle than silence.
