What to Eat at The Beach by Sho Cho 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 The Beach by Sho Cho, 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.

Black cod Net +1
“I’ve been wanting to visit for some time now & I finally did last week. It’s a beachside restaurant in the Dubai Marine Resort and requires a bit of a walk so choose your footwear accordingly. They have a DJ spinning tunes from 9pm onwards for their ladies night and serve up pretty decent Japanese fair. I’d recommend the seared seabass & black cod. Pro tip: Wear something warm as it’s outdoor seating & also ask for the heaters to be switched on.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Reserve Ahead. Book weekends early: one busy evening could not extend a table reservation because the venue was full.
Clarify Valet. Before leaving your car, confirm whether this venue stamps the valet ticket rather than relying on resort parking information.
Request Less Ice. If ordering a Piña Colada, ask for less ice if you prefer a stronger pour.
Check Directions. Use the resort entrance or call ahead: one review says Google Maps directed guests incorrectly.

The Bottom Line
The Beach by Sho Cho is a Japanese restaurant and beach lounge in Jumeirah, set beside the sea with outdoor seating, DJ-led evenings and views that can include the Burj Khalifa. It suits a relaxed dinner, date or drinks with friends more than a quick meal. Reviews repeatedly point to the sound of waves, open-air terrace and music that can stay quiet enough for conversation.
The menu highlights sushi, tuna in tacos, dynamite shrimp, sea bass and cocktails. A seared seabass and black cod recommendation appears in one review, while another singles out sea bass with vegetables and the unusual beans ice cream. Vegan options are also mentioned.
Daytime visitors can use the beach for tanning, while evenings shift toward lounge atmosphere and, on selected nights, DJ music. Service is often described as attentive and professional, but experiences are not completely consistent. One diner reported hard sushi rice and seaweed and disappointment over a request for standard nigiri.
Another had conflicting valet information and was not given a ticket stamp, so confirm parking arrangements before leaving your car. The outdoor setting can also be cool in winter; bring a warm layer and ask about heaters. Weekend reservations are sensible when the venue is busy.
