Another surprising meal we ate was the Asian joint called Katsuya by Starck, it is a venture by the master sushi Katsuya Uechi with French design icon, Philippe Starck. They have around twelve restaurants between the USA and UAE.

Usually, at Littleboboon we are allergics to any form of chain or franchise restaurants, but we were looking for a decent food to eat while shopping at Yas mall in Abu Dhabi, we spotted the restaurant Katsuya by Starck, the sleek and sober design drawn us in to check the menu, and once we looked at the menu, we made our mind to discover the food and to our great surprise the food was quite good and even some dishes were very good like their “Seared Tuna with Japanese Salsa” and “Edamame Hummus”.

As in all the malls around UAE, venues like Katsuya by Starck does not have the right to serve alcoholic drinks so its compensated by great Elixirs (non alcoholic drinks). We had tasted a few of them like the “Peach and Passion Fruit Mojito” and the “Burning Mandarin” which made with hand crushed jalapeño were really delicious.

The service was nice, welcoming and efficient.

We like the food so much that we came back the next day for dinner.
