“I’m extremely disappointed with Ouma Sushi. I ordered sushi with salmon and shrimp, but instead, I received what was clearly canned tuna. This is not only a downgrade in quality but also feels dishonest. I expected much better and won’t be coming back.”

Book Weekends. Reserve ahead for weekend visits: one customer said the restaurant was busy and recommended booking.
Try Wagyu. Wagyu sushi is one of the clearest repeat recommendations, with reviewers specifically praising both wagyu sushi and wagyu nigiri.
Check Spice. If you avoid spice, repeat the request clearly when ordering and check the dish before eating, since one no-spice request was missed.
Leave Room. Save space for dessert if available; Date Pudding was singled out as especially delicious, while the dessert menu has since changed.
Use Parking. Drivers can factor in free parking when planning a visit.

Two recent reviews say the manager told diners to quieten down in a rude manner and made them feel singled out or unwelcome.
One first-time visitor reported that the restaurant was extremely hot and found the food quality unsatisfactory.
A diner who requested a dish without spice said the kitchen still got the request wrong.
One customer ordered salmon and shrimp sushi but received what they described as canned tuna instead.
Some reviews consider the prices high or slightly steep, despite others calling them reasonable or good value.
The Bottom Line
Ouma Sushi Restaurant is a Japanese-focused Asian fusion restaurant in Mirdif, worth considering for sushi in a calm, cozy setting rather than a loud night out. Reviews repeatedly praise the freshness and presentation, with wagyu sushi and wagyu nigiri emerging as standout choices. The menu also reaches beyond sushi: Ouma Special Fried Rice, miso ramen, chicken katsu and Korean barbecue all receive individual mentions.
Service is usually one of the restaurant’s strongest points. Diners describe the team as welcoming, attentive and helpful with recommendations, and one late-arriving customer was still served 15 minutes before closing. Free parking is another practical plus.
The atmosphere is commonly described as quiet and elegant, with soft music and a relaxed feel that works well for dinner or a family meal. There are a few cautions. A recent pair of reviews criticised the manager’s handling of normal laughter and conversation, while other customers reported an overheated dining room, a missed no-spice request and one sushi order that allegedly arrived with canned tuna instead of salmon and shrimp.
Weekend bookings are sensible because the restaurant can get busy. For dessert, older reviews recommend Date Pudding, though one customer notes that the dessert menu has changed. A past review put dinner with a signature volcano, roca maki and Japanese green tea at about AED100 per person without appetisers, but some diners now describe prices as high.
