Daikan Review – Highlights
- The original is located in Cluster Y in JLT right above Maiz Tacos, another loved homegrown UAE brand. The brand has since expanded and opened two more outlets: one in Gate Avenue DIFC and another in Nakheel Mall on the Palm.
- Daikan ramen bar is small and homey atmosphere with r&b music playing while you browse the menu via QR codes on the tables and watch the team cooking up magic in the open kitchen.
- There are a variety of starters, called ‘bites’ such as gyoza, miso aubergine, chicken katsu and karaage, as well as, bao buns and donburi. The highlight of Daikan is their chicken or veggie broth ramen bowls. There are 5 to choose from with a variety of bases such as salt, soy sauce, miso, spicy miso and sesame.
- The first sip of your ramen is like a warm cozy familiar feeling like sipping a hug. It makes you want to jump on a plane to Japan and explore more of what the country has to offer. These ramen bowls are served quickly and generously what a large portion of noodles that you chow down on with the chopsticks provided on each table as well as your large wooden ladle.
Review of Daikan Restaurant – Things to Note
- Mosquitoes and little bugs can be a nuisance when enjoying your food, so best to sit near or in the current of air conditioning units.
- The restaurant is small and gets quite busy from 7:30pm onwards, so come early or order on chatfood direct from the restaurant to experience from the comfort of your home. Likewise the restaurant team get quite busy fulfilling and packing all the orders that come during this period as well.
- Parking can be tough as there are limited spots in the JLT clusters however try another cluster and walk over, the scenary in JLT is quite nice. Otherwise check out their Palm location in Nakheel Mall which has plenty of indoor parking.
