Located in Dubai’s creative hub, Kokoro Handroll Bar on Alserkal Avenue offers a focused, counter-style sushi experience centred on freshly made hand rolls. The restaurant claims to be the UAE’s first dedicated handroll bar, with chefs preparing each roll to order and passing it directly across the counter to diners. Alserkal Avenue itself is known for its contemporary galleries, design studios and independent cafés, making it one of the city’s most vibrant cultural districts. The casual setup and concise menu make Kokoro particularly well suited for a quick lunch between meetings. Despite its simplicity, the quality of the fish and the made-to-order format ensure a meal that feels experiential.
