One of Dubai's deepest Japanese strips, from an omakase counter to straw-fire grills and casual sushi. The verified Japanese restaurants in Jumeirah, our highest-rated first.
Jumeirah quietly holds one of the deepest concentrations of Japanese cooking in the city, and it spans the whole spectrum. There's a Michelin-starred omakase counter, a Bib Gourmand sushi room and a straw-fire steakhouse, but also unfussy neighbourhood sushi spots along Al Wasl Road that locals rely on. Whatever the budget, the standard is high.
At the top sit Hōseki's omakase and Goldfish's modern Japanese, with itadaku, TORI and REIF Kushiyaki's skewers close behind. Netsu cooks over Warayaki straw fire, Mimi Kakushi channels 1920s Osaka, and SushiYaki and Origami keep the casual sushi end covered. Every venue below is a Jumeirah Japanese we've confirmed is live, ordered by rating.

See it liveThe casual sushi and izakaya spots cluster along Al Wasl Road and Wasl 51 and take walk-ins most of the week, while the destination rooms, the omakase counters and the hotel restaurants, sit closer to the coast and want planning.
The small counters, Hōseki in particular, have very limited covers and book out well ahead, so plan those. For everything else, weekends are the busy window, and a reservation helps after seven.
By our live ratings, TORI, itadaku and SushiYaki lead the accessible end, while Hōseki's omakase and Goldfish carry the fine-dining honours. The ranked list above pulls live from our index, so it reflects what's open and rated now.
Hōseki runs an intimate, Michelin-starred omakase by Chef Masahiro Sugiyama, and Goldfish Sushi & Yakitori carries a Bib Gourmand. Both are small and worth booking well ahead for the counter experience.
Yes. SushiYaki, TORI and Origami Sushi keep things mid-range and casual, ideal for a regular sushi fix without the fine-dining bill. They're the neighbourhood end of a strip that also holds Michelin names.
Mimi Kakushi pairs 1920s Osaka styling with live jazz, MayaBay blends Thai and Japanese in a refined setting, and Netsu's straw-fire theatre makes for a lively dinner. All three suit an occasion over a quick bite.
For the omakase counters and the hotel dining rooms, yes, well ahead for the small counters. The casual sushi spots along Al Wasl Road take walk-ins most of the week, though weekends get busy after seven.
