5 Best Sushi in Abu Dhabi (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Thorne Savarin, Culinary Explorer · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

Between the five sushi spots on this list, Abu Dhabi diners have left more than 12,000 Google reviews, and not one of them dips below 4.7 stars. That is an unusually tight cluster for a cuisine this easy to get wrong (soggy rice, warm fish, a menu trying to do too much), so the real decision here isn't quality, it's which room fits the night you're planning.

Short answer: SushiArt (Al Qana) leads at 4.9 stars across 2,726 reviews, prized for consistent rolls and a quiet waterfront room. KAIZU Japanese Restaurant (4.8, 2,233 reviews) is the pick for hand rolls and ramen, and 3Fils (4.8, 1,884 reviews) brings its Michelin Bib Gourmand pedigree to Al Bateen. Reviewers cite price-per-person mostly in the AED 100-150 range for dinner.

SushiArt - سوشي ارت - Al Qana

4.92,726 Google reviews

SushiArt's Al Qana branch is one of two Abu Dhabi locations for this Japanese-Asian fusion chain, serving sushi alongside ramen, yakitori, bao, and sando sandwiches. The menu leans into loyalty perks and rotating specials like Happy Sushi Night, and the Al Qana site sits right on the waterfront near the cinema. It has built the deepest review base of any sushi spot in the city by a wide margin.

What people praise

Consistently praised for fresh, well-prepared sushi and cooked dishes alike
Staff called out by name repeatedly for warm, attentive service
Quiet, easy-to-talk atmosphere with a sea view from outdoor seating

Worth knowing

Menu leans broader than pure sushi, with tacos and rice bowls sharing space
Portion sizes on some sides (like edamame) noted as small

SushiArt - سوشي ارت - Galleria Mall

SushiArt's second Abu Dhabi outpost sits inside Galleria Mall on Al Maryah Island, running the same menu of sushi, ramen, and Japanese comfort dishes as its Al Qana sibling.

What people praise

Fresh salmon and crisp tempura mentioned often
Staff singled out for friendly, attentive recommendations
Convenient mall location for a quick dine-in stop

Worth knowing

A few reviewers found the ramen bland for the price
Slightly lower five-star share than the Al Qana branch

Our take: Same brand, same strengths, but the ramen draws more mixed feedback here than at Al Qana. Go for the sushi and skip the noodle bowl if you're picky.

Ozo Restaurant

4.72,444 Google reviews

Ozo Restaurant operates out of Marasy Al Bateen Wharf, offering a Japanese-leaning Asian menu that includes sushi rolls, noodles, and a crab salad regulars keep coming back for. It's a smaller, more casual setup than the mall-based chains on this list, with an outdoor smoking area.

What people praise

Crab salad and braised ribs donburi called out as standout dishes by repeat diners
Friendly, attentive service noted consistently
Fresh ingredients across seafood and noodle dishes

Worth knowing

Smaller space and fewer menu options than its sister branch in Al Qana
Slightly lower rating and five-star share than the other four names here

Our take: It ranks fifth on this page, and the numbers explain why: a solid 4.7 with the widest one-star share of the group. Still, the dishes reviewers name specifically (that crab salad) earn genuine repeat business.

Watch: 5 Best Sushi in Abu Dhabi (2026)

How we score

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers actually left a rating, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 built on a few hundred reviews scores differently than one built on thousands. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does sushi cost in Abu Dhabi? (2026)

Google reviewers on these pages most often flagged dinner as AED 50-150 per person for a casual sushi meal, with fuller multi-course visits running higher depending on the spot and how much you order.

Job	Typical price
Casual sushi dinner, per person	AED 50-150
Fuller tasting-style meal, per person	AED 150-300+

Price-per-person bands compiled July 2026 from Google reviewer-submitted data on these pages.

Serving all of Abu Dhabi

These five sit across Al Qana, Galleria Mall on Al Maryah Island, Al Zahiyah, and Al Bateen’s marina district, so wherever you’re searching from in the city, there’s a sushi spot on this list within a short drive. Searching sushi near me in these neighborhoods will likely surface one of these names first.

What to ask before you book

Do you take reservations, or is it walk-in only?
What’s the price range per person for dinner?
Do you offer valet or is parking limited nearby?
Is the fish flown in, and how often?
Do you have vegetarian or cooked options for non-sushi eaters in the group?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these sushi spots?

We pulled real Google ratings and review counts for sushi restaurants across Abu Dhabi, then ranked by a mix of rating, review volume, and recency.

How often is this updated?

This page was verified in July 2026 against live Google data, and we refresh it periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Which of these takes reservations?

KAIZU and SushiArt’s locations offer bookable slots through Google, while 3Fils and Ozo run on a walk-in basis.

Is there a clear budget option here?

SushiArt and KAIZU trend toward the lower end of the price-per-person range reviewers reported, while 3Fils sits at the higher end.

The bottom line

For a dependable night out, SushiArt at Al Qana is the safe call given its review volume and rating. If hand rolls are the point, KAIZU earns the trip, and if you want a chef-driven occasion, book 3Fils ahead of time since it doesn’t take reservations.
