After building a loyal following at Marsa Boulevard, Lost in Tokyo is opening a new space at First Avenue Mall.
Dubai’s dining scene has plenty of options, but now and then, a concept comes along that feels truly unique. One such example is Lost in Tokyo, a name many food lovers will recognise from its popular run at Marsa Boulevard. Now, it’s getting a permanent home in the city.
After starting as a small, invite-only supper club and later becoming a pop-up, Lost in Tokyo is finding a prime spot in the soon-to-open First Avenue Mall in Jumeirah. With an opening expected soon, this one is among the most anticipated in the city.
The new restaurant has been designed with a clear vision. From the moment you arrive, it feels calm and considered. You enter through traditional Japanese-style curtains, with a small garden at the front adding a peaceful touch. Inside, the space is simple but elegant. Light wood, soft colours, and warm lighting create a relaxed atmosphere that feels welcoming rather than overdone.
The food remains the main focus. Lost in Tokyo centres on Edomae-style sushi, a traditional Tokyo-based method that prioritises skill, balance, and high-quality ingredients over heavy or overly creative rolls.
Dining here is expected to be a more personal experience. You will sit at the counter while a team of four chefs prepares each dish right in front of you. This setup keeps the connection between chef and diner, which has always been a big part of the concept. Drinks are likely to stay simple and thoughtful too, with options like Japanese teas and sake pairings.
Lost in Tokyo started as an underground supper club before evolving into one of the most talked-about concepts at Marsa Boulevard. That slow build has earned it a loyal following through consistency and quality. Now, with its first permanent location, the brand is finally settling into a space it can call home.
