Family-friendly Japanese dining in Dubai: visiting RAYU

A Japanese meal with the family in Jumeirah 1

Looking for a family-friendly Japanese restaurant in Dubai? RAYU welcomes families and groups at Wasl Vita Mall in Jumeirah 1. Our menu brings sushi together with noodles, rice dishes and other Japanese favourites, so you can plan a meal around the different preferences at your table.

One person might be looking forward to sushi, while another would rather choose chicken with rice or a bowl of ramen. Before you arrive, open the photo menu together and pick a few possibilities. It is a useful way to see both the dishes and their individual prices without deciding the whole meal in advance.

Start with what each person enjoys

For someone who prefers hot dishes, the à la carte menu includes Chicken Teriyaki at AED 50, Chicken fried rice at AED 58 and Chicken Ramen at AED 65. Karaage, listed as Japanese Fried Chicken, is another option in the appetizers section. These are regular menu dishes; ask the team about portions and any adjustments you would like before ordering.

If sushi is part of your family’s plan, browse the nigiri and rolls alongside the hot dishes. The current selection includes Salmon Nigiri and California Roll. The menu lists ingredients, which can help you compare choices and identify questions to ask the team.

For dessert, the Sweet Endings section includes matcha tiramisu and matcha mochi. You can leave that decision until after your main dishes. Prices and availability may change; the live menu has the latest listed options.

Book with your whole group in mind

Advance booking is recommended, especially for larger parties and peak dining times. Have your preferred date, time and total number of guests ready, including the children coming with you. If you are unsure how to arrange seating for your family, call +971 56 381 4118 before visiting.

For younger children, use that call to check any equipment or seating arrangements you need, such as a high chair or space for a pushchair. Confirm availability with the team rather than assuming a particular arrangement will be ready. If children’s portions or pricing matter to your plans, ask about the current options at the same time.

Please tell the team about food allergies before ordering. The restaurant cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment. Ask about ingredients and preparation for the dishes you are considering, even when the dish name sounds familiar.

Getting here for lunch or dinner

RAYU is at Shop 38, Wasl Vita Mall, Al Wasl Road, Jumeirah 1, Dubai. Parking is available at the mall, and the restaurant has a wheelchair-accessible entrance. If you have a specific access requirement, contact the team while planning your visit.

We open daily at 12:00 PM and close at 11:30 PM, with last orders at 11:00 PM. Choose a lunch or dinner time that works for your family, allowing time to settle in and order before the kitchen’s last-order time.
