The Bottom Line

SushiYaki is a Japanese restaurant in Jumeirah with a polished indoor room and a waterfront terrace. You can come for sushi and sashimi, but the menu also moves into yakitori, ceviche and cooked dishes. Reviews give especially strong marks to the seabass ceviche, Salmon Tobiko Maki, prawn tempura and grilled yakitori, with freshness and presentation recurring throughout.

The atmosphere is a real part of the appeal. Several diners describe the setting as quiet, stylish and relaxing, while the terrace brings canal views and memorable sunsets. It suits a calm lunch, a birthday meal or an evening when you want to talk without loud music.

Vegan diners have also reported helpful menu guidance, including enjoyable udon and crisp tempeh. Value is viewed differently. Some reviewers call the pricing reasonable for the quality, while another reported spending almost USD 100 per person on shared starters and felt portions were small.

Outdoor seating also came with one complaint about stagnant-water odour, tiny tables and uncomfortable chairs. For practical planning, ask about current lunch offers, check the 25 AED happy-hour cocktail mentioned in one review, and validate your parking ticket or plate for the reported three-hour benefit.
