What to Eat at Fuloong Sushi Omakase 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 Fuloong Sushi Omakase, 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.

Tips for a Better Visit
Book Ahead. Reserve early: one review describes the restaurant as an eight-seat experience and specifically advises booking well in advance.
Ask Gluten-Free. If needed, ask about gluten-free service; a reviewer received gluten-free soy sauce and prawn tempura.
Budget Drinks. Allow extra for drinks: one review says tea with the courses was complimentary but additional drinks were payable.
Check Menu. Ask about the current menu when booking, since reviews describe seasonal changes and courses based on availability.
Clarify Style. If traditional sushi matters to you, ask how much of the current menu is fusion-style and how varied the fish selection will be.

The Bottom Line
Fuloong Sushi Omakase is a small-seat Japanese restaurant in Umm Suqeim where dinner centres on a chef-led omakase set menu. Expect courses prepared in front of you, explanations and stories as they arrive, and fish and seafood that reviewers repeatedly describe as fresh, balanced and high quality. Dry-aged sashimi, nigiri and The Emperor’s Hidden Scroll are among the specific highlights mentioned.
The setting is calm, clean and deliberately intimate: reviews describe eight seats per session, while another mentions nine seats. That makes conversation with the chef a meaningful part of the meal, and several guests used the restaurant for birthdays, anniversaries and Valentine’s Day. The team has also accommodated gluten-free diners with gluten-free soy sauce and prawn tempura.
Value is a recurring theme, with one February 2026 review recording AED 599 per person and calling it fair for the experience. Drinks cost extra, while tea with the courses was complimentary in that review. Menus change seasonally, so ask what is currently being served.
If you are seeking strictly traditional sushi, note that two reviewers found the meal fusion-leaning, with lukewarm miso soup and limited fish variation across sashimi and sushi; those points are worth clarifying when booking.
