Chocolate fondant Net +2

Miso soup Net +2

“We started off with some dates and then came the tuna followed by the most delicious version of miso soup I have ever had and I would like to add here that I am not a miso soup person but this one was really really nice the truffle foam did the trick for me. When you have been fasting you surely want to start off with something not very strong in flavor yet right comforting to the tuna was the not very strong in flavor element and the soup was the comfort element for me.”

What to Avoid (2)

Food 2

Black cod with miso Net −1

“Food is just so so - the black cod with miso was tad too salty whilst the sashimi was cut too thick (value for money - yes, but destroys the taste).”
Yakimeshi Net −1

“Then I had Yakimeshi. This was something I expected to seem palatable to me as an Indian (as it is rice based recipe) but wasn’t ok with the taste.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Time the show. For the Burj Khalifa light show, consider dining after 19:00.

Choose outdoors. Sit outside for the strongest Burj Khalifa views, but check conditions first because flies have affected terrace visits.

The Bottom Line

99 Sushi Bar & Restaurant Dubai is a polished Japanese restaurant in Downtown Dubai, drawing diners for fresh sushi, tasting menus and an indoor-outdoor setting facing Burj Khalifa. The menu is broader than standard sushi: reviews mention Wagyu tartare, King Crab au Gratin, Vegan Bricks and a well-balanced business lunch. The Omakase 10 courses lunch is another recurring choice.

The terrace is the main atmospheric draw, with views towards Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, the fountains and, according to one diner, a light show after 19:00. It suits birthdays, business lunches, dates and group meals, with reviews also mentioning a private room and smoking bar area. Service is often attentive and helpful, though experiences vary; some diners praised menu guidance while others found staff knowledge inconsistent.

Plan the route before arriving: one review found the location hard to find, while another described using Address valet and a lift near the pool. Outdoor seating gives the best landmark view, but flies have been a serious nuisance in some visits. This is an indulgent, premium-priced restaurant rather than a casual sushi stop.

One reported bill was 2,500 AED for two people with a bottle of wine and plenty of food.
