No sooner had we stepped inside the venue then a hearty cry of “Hello and welcome!” rang out from behind the iced-sushi bar. We were, as was every subsequent diner, greeted by the charismatic head chef Jin Chul, whose passion for people turned out to be matched by his passion for contemporary Japanese cuisine.
Already sated and not desperately craving something sweet, we were a tad reluctant to tackle the many tempting dessert options, which included sesame nougatine chocolate mousse and lemon grass creme brûlée.
Apart from that, I would highly recommend Hashi as a sophisticated spot for a birthday celebration, family or even corporate get-together. I would say it remains one of Dubai’s very best kept brunch secrets and while not overly crowded, it clearly has a loyal following. The couple seated at the table next to ours not only live in the Armani residences above the restaurant, but dine there every week, staff proudly informed me.
