Try Crab. Start with the crunchy crab salad; several reviews praise its generous crab portion, not just its toppings.
Customise Sides. For a more tailored order, ask for rock shrimp well done and extra sauce with the grilled corn.
Check Deal. Ask about the unlimited sushi offer: one diner reported AED 149, with restrictions on weekends and before 6:00 PM.
Book Ahead. Booking was described as easy, so reserve in advance if you are planning a birthday or private-room meal.
Mind Portions. If you order a Shrimp Tempura Roll, note that one diner found it dry; consider balancing the order with other rolls.
Bring Children. Families may find the restaurant accommodating: one review specifically says the staff considered the children well.
Plan the visit
Multiple reviews describe the restaurant as expensive or overpriced, including a reported AED 660 bill for two.
Food quality varies: diners have described dry sushi, dry rock shrimp and bland or burnt dishes.
Older reviews mention forgotten dishes, out-of-order arrivals, missing soy sauce and limited staff attention.
Some diners felt parts of the menu were not genuinely Japanese and that the food did not match its presentation.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.
as much sushi as you want
“The menu is diverse, and the best part is that you can eat as much sushi as you want for AED 149, except on weekends and before 6:00 PM”Google review · August 2025
The Bottom Line
Mrs Mika is an authentic Japanese restaurant in Jumeirah where you can order sushi, rolls, tempura and Japanese-style appetisers in a setting built around traditional details. The crunchy crab salad, volcano rolls, shrimp tempura and gyoza are among the dishes reviewers return to, with the crab salad standing out for its notably generous crab portion. The room is part of the appeal.
Diners describe low wooden tables, kimono details, murals and parasols, with a calm, cosy atmosphere that suits relaxed dinners, intimate gatherings and birthdays. Families have also found the team attentive to children, and some birthday visits included singing and celebratory treats. There is a useful unlimited-sushi offer reported at AED 149, although the review notes restrictions on weekends and before 6:00 PM.
Individual dishes can feel expensive: one table of two reported spending around AED 660. The food is not completely consistent either; while many recent diners found it fresh, others reported dry sushi or rock shrimp, bland meat, and even burnt wagyu with rice. If ordering the rock shrimp or grilled corn, one regular suggests asking for the shrimp well done and extra sauce for the corn.
Booking is described as easy.
