What to Eat at Deli Sushi How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Deli Sushi, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Deli Sushi, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Check hours. Confirm the opening time before a daytime visit: one diner found it closed at 1:30pm despite the Google Maps listing.
Try outdoors. If indoor food smells bother you, ask for terrace seating; a reviewer specifically enjoyed eating outside there.
Check portions. If you are hungry or ordering for two, check portion expectations first: a past diner said three rolls did not fill two adults.
Inspect delivery. For delivery, check the packaging on arrival; one order shifted inside the box and spilled soy sauce through the bag.

The Bottom Line
Deli Sushi is a small Japanese restaurant in Dubai Silicon Oasis where the main draw is sushi: reviewers mention fresh fish, neatly presented platters and rolls with contrasting textures, crispy toppings and creamy sauces. Vegetarian diners can order a Vegetable Roll, Veggie poke or veg cheese roll, while the menu also stretches to dishes such as Alfredo pasta and katsudon. Takeaway and delivery are available.
The setting suits a quieter dinner rather than a rushed meal. Reviews describe a calm, peaceful venue with indoor and outdoor seating, trees and, according to one customer, free parking available at all times. Staff are often described as warm, friendly and quick, although delivery service has also produced waits of more than 45 minutes and packaging problems.
There is some variation in the feedback. Several diners found the sushi portions very small, including one person who paid 350 AED and was still hungry. Another returning customer felt freshness and taste had declined over time.
A cleanliness complaint mentioned multiple moving bugs, while an indoor ventilation complaint said food smell stayed on clothing. Check opening hours before a daytime visit, and consider terrace seating if that smell would bother you.
