If you are flying F & paying for it and still going back to the J Bar then you need to seriously reconsider flying F at all.
Might sound stupid actually but having done more than 135 sectors in F on the A380 in EK I have only been to the J Bar 4 or 5 times at the most.
And crazy it may sound it was always out of YYZ that I ended up in bar. Blame it on the????
Sorry once out of HKG also on EK381. Had 11 people in J & F along with me to argue & debate with. My E-Gate failed in DXB as I could not get it working
Was a flight which I still remeber for all the wrong reasons.
Safe Flying

I always go for 2K but as that its gone and assuming you want a window seat I would opt for 2A. 1A and K have one less window but more importantly are in line with the curtain through to First Class bar and to the Showers. Row 2 is probably the optimum distance from the galley noise. Flying on EK412 to AKL from DXB next month, just long enough to enjoy the experience! Looking forward to First all the way from GLA on future flights ;-)
Are 1A/K narrower because of the fuselage?
Does the curtain mean that the light from behind it shines into the seat?

1 less window than other seats.
Yes, especially as it starts to curve inwards going to the nose of the airplane.
No, the typical fallout of this is that you are staring into the bum of the FAs or pax standing at the bar, every time you look out of your suite...

Thank you for your response. I'll pick 2A. Any trips/advice to make the most of the experience? I'm used to flying QF/BA/EY F an am excited to try EK finally!

No, they are not.
You should be good, I guess.

I've sat in 1ef and 2ef and there is no difference in size I've noticed. Only row 1 a or k has and space reduction.
