Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5

Try Lunch. Consider lunch or another quieter period; one review found the service especially good when the restaurant was less busy.

Check Menu. Ask how the sushi is prepared before ordering if you prefer traditional styles; one diner found the menu hard to interpret.

The Bottom Line

Cutfish is a contemporary Japanese restaurant in Umm Suqeim with a marina-side setting and a menu that leans into modern fusion. You can come for sushi, hand rolls, battera, beef ramen or wagyu dishes, then finish with the well-known soufflé served with ice cream and pistachio sauce. The ocean, yachts and Burj Al Arab views are a major part of the appeal, particularly from the outdoor seating.

Food reviews are generally strongest for sushi and fresh fish. One diner called the beef ramen one of the best they had tried in Dubai, while others praised the Beef Kalbi Ribs, wagyu steak and octopus salad. Breakfast is also available early, with a Japanese breakfast selection that has brought some regulars back several times.

Cocktails and mocktails receive positive mentions too. There are caveats. Service ranges from polished and welcoming to very slow, including one 15–20-minute wait for a waiter.

Some guests found portions small, prices high and seasoning underwhelming; another reported yellow hamachi with an unpleasant aftertaste. The menu can also feel unfamiliar if you expect standard sushi. Try a quieter lunch, ask for dish explanations and consider the outdoor area in winter.

One review also noted plenty of parking.
