The Best Japanese Restaurants And Sushi In Dubai

Dubai has its fair share of gourmet dining destinations, whether you’re looking for luxury or a fabulous location. We’ve listed our pick of the restaurants in the city that focus on sushi, sashimi, and the rest of the Japanese culinary repertoire.

1. Okku

Restaurant, Japanese, Sushi, Asian, Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-free

Boasting an embarrassment of awards, this luxury Japanese restaurant within Dubai’s 5-star H Hotel offers only the finest food, service, and design for its patrons. Okku has a cocktail bar, mezzanine lounge area, VIP dining rooms, live sushi bar, resident DJ, an 8-meter tall “jellyquarium,” and a culinary team with 134 years of experience among them.

2. Miyako

Restaurant, Japanese, Sushi, Asian, Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-free

For a traditional Japanese dining experience, look no further than Miyako at the Hyatt Regency hotel. Diners can sit around a sushi bar or in specially designed rooms in which the floors are lined with tatami mats, while a nine-course kaiseki menu is served cooked on teppanyaki grills. The fresh sushi and sashimi is always impeccably presented.

3. Kisaku

Restaurant, Japanese, Asian

Located on the 10th floor of the Al Khaleej Palace Hotel, Kisaku is a favorite of Dubai’s Japanese community, which is a testament to its authenticity. Whether seated on tatami mats in private dining rooms, at tables, or around the sushi bar, you’ll be able to sample all the aforementioned dishes while watching some wonderfully bizarre Japanese TV programs.
