Try Omakase. Choose the omakase if you want a multi-course tasting with fresh sashimi and varied traditional dishes.
Consider Lunch. Lunch is worth considering for the ramen and hand-roll set, especially if you prefer a calmer meal.
Order Wagyu. Add wagyu from the grill if you want one of the dishes reviewers specifically call a must-order.
Plan For Energy. Expect a livelier atmosphere later at night, when one diner found the venue more crowded.
Budget Omakase. One diner reported paying 799 AED for the omakase set, so confirm the current price when booking.

The dining room became more crowded as the night went on, so later evenings may feel livelier.

The Bottom Line
Ronin is a Japanese restaurant at FIVE LUXE in Jumeirah Beach Residence, built around polished food, theatrical surroundings and views towards Dubai Marina and Ain Dubai. You can order sushi, wagyu from the grill, ramen sets or a multi-course omakase; reviewers especially liked the fresh sashimi, creative presentation and well-balanced flavours. The omakase is the clearest choice for a longer, chef-led meal.
One diner reported paying 799 AED for the set, so it is worth confirming the current price before booking. Lunch has its own appeal too: the lunch-only ramen and hand-roll sushi set was described as authentic and satisfying, with service that did not feel rushed. The setting shifts with the occasion.
Red lanterns, low lighting and curated music give the dining room a stylish, immersive feel, while the terrace is the draw for Ain Dubai and Marina views, particularly at night. Cocktails are also a recurring highlight, described as refined and beautifully crafted. Service reviews are consistently warm and attentive, with Japanese greetings adding to the sense of occasion.
Keep in mind that one diner found it became more crowded later in the night, so an earlier booking may suit those seeking a calmer dinner.
