Netsu

Netsu is a Japanese steakhouse on Jumeirah Beach Road in Jumeirah 1, Dubai, centred on warayaki, a traditional Japanese cooking technique that uses straw fire to grill food. The cooking process forms part of the restaurant’s character, with flames visible around the kitchen counter and a theatrical atmosphere inside.

The menu combines warayaki-style grilled dishes with sushi, sashimi platters and other Japanese-style plates. This gives the restaurant a broad format for diners looking for cooked food as well as raw seafood, with the open cooking style adding a visual element to the meal. The setting suits occasions that call for more than a quick meal, while remaining relaxed enough for gatherings with family and friends.

Outdoor dining is available on the terrace, where the atmosphere becomes more convivial as the evening progresses. Indoors, the kitchen counter provides a closer connection to the fire-led cooking, while the surrounding interiors create a polished setting for lunch, dinner or a social meal. For visitors travelling from Abu Dhabi, the Jumeirah location places the restaurant within Dubai’s established coastal dining area.

Drinks are an important part of the offering. The wine list includes a wide selection of labels, while Japanese-inspired cocktails provide an alternative for guests who prefer mixed drinks. A dedicated sake sommelier oversees a selection of artisanal sake served in distinctive sake pots, making the drinks list particularly relevant to diners interested in Japanese pours and food pairing.

Netsu works well for groups, family occasions and dinners with friends, especially when the terrace or the lively counter-side setting suits the occasion. Reservations are available, and guests with specific seating preferences or dietary requirements can raise them when arranging a table. Netsu offers a combination of fire-based cooking, Japanese seafood dishes, sake and a sociable setting at Jumeirah Beach Road.
