REIF × Chôm Chôm Culinary Collaboration 2026 in Dubai

About REIF × Chôm Chôm Culinary Collaboration 2026 in Dubai

The REIF × Chôm Chôm Culinary Collaboration brings two Dubai kitchens together for a short run of dinners in Dubai this October. REIF Japanese Kushiyaki and Chôm Chôm are joining forces for two nights only, on 22 and 23 October 2026, to serve an 8-course tasting menu where Japanese precision meets the bright, bold flavours of Vietnam.

It is a sit-down, two-hour experience rather than a quick bite. Each course has been created especially for the collaboration, so this is a menu you will not find on either restaurant’s usual list. If you enjoy seeing how two kitchens with different styles find common ground on the plate, this one is worth putting in the diary.

Seats are limited across both nights, and you need to book at least 24 hours ahead. Plan early if you have a particular evening in mind.

What to Expect

The menu is built around fresh herbs, delicate broths and vibrant sauces, with some unexpected pairings along the way. Every course offers a new expression of the two kitchens’ distinctive styles, so the evening has a real sense of progression.

Two Nights, Two Restaurants

The collaboration moves between the two restaurants. Night one, on Thursday 22 October, takes place at REIF Japanese Kushiyaki in Dubai Hills Business Park, Building 3. Night two, on Friday 23 October, is hosted at Chôm Chôm Dubai in Galleria Mall, Units 07 and 08, Al Barsha Second. Double check which night you have booked, because the location changes.

An 8-Course Tasting Menu

Expect a journey through savoury bites and refined plates, followed by a comforting broth and a sweet finish. The menu is served per person, and food ordered outside the set menu is not part of the booking. Drinks are not included either, but they are available to buy at the venue on the night.

Japanese Meets Vietnamese

REIF is known for Japanese kushiyaki, while Chôm Chôm brings Vietnamese cooking to the table. The idea here is simple: combine the care and precision of one with the fresh, herb-led brightness of the other, and see what happens across eight courses.

The Venue: REIF Japanese Kushiyaki Dubai Hills

Visitor Tips

Getting There

For REIF in Dubai Hills, drive in via Al Khail Road (E44) or Umm Suqeim Street (D63). If you prefer the metro, take the Red Line to Equiti or Mall of the Emirates station, then a taxi or ride-share of around 10 to 15 minutes.

For Chôm Chôm at Galleria Mall, use Al Barsha Road or Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) and exit for Al Barsha 2. By metro, ride the Red Line to Mashreq or Mall of the Emirates station and take a short taxi of about 5 to 10 minutes. Evening traffic in Dubai can be slow, so give yourself some extra time.

Dietary Requirements

This is important. The kitchens cannot accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies for this menu. Dairy, eggs, wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish and soybeans are all handled in the kitchen, so think carefully before booking if any of these affect you or your guests.

Age and Entry Policy

Children aged up to 6 may share a seat with a parent. Children aged 7 and above need their own booking, so check the options carefully when reserving for a family table.

Dress Code

The dress code is smart casual. Think a neat shirt or a nice top rather than gym wear.

Arrive on Time

Guests are asked to arrive promptly for their seating. With a set menu served over two hours, turning up on time means you will not miss the first courses. Bear in mind that rescheduling is not possible once booked, so choose your night with care.

Book Your Seats

With just two evenings and limited seats, the REIF × Chôm Chôm Culinary Collaboration is the kind of dinner that fills up quickly. Pick your night, round up your favourite dining companions and book through Platinumlist at least 24 hours ahead. Then all that is left is to sit back and enjoy eight courses from two kitchens cooking side by side.
