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

Two Kimuraya branches sit at the top of Dubai's sushi scene, and between them they've logged 7,857 Google reviews at a 4.8 average, more than the bottom two names on this page combined. Every restaurant here clears 4.7 stars or better, and the range runs from unlimited wagyu hotpot sets to a single sixty-nine dirham business lunch deal that reviewers say the restaurant barely advertises.

Short answer: The most-reviewed sushi restaurant in Dubai is Kimuraya Authentic Japanese Restaurant, Business Bay (4.8 stars, 4,268 reviews), known for fresh sushi platters and unlimited hotpot and BBQ sets. MaKiRa holds the highest rating on this page at 4.9, known for its ramen and a hidden-gem business lunch deal. Expect AED 100-300 per person for a la carte dining, with unlimited packages running higher.

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is each restaurant’s live Google star average. Review volume shows how many diners have rated them, measured against the other Dubai sushi and Japanese restaurants we looked at. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from over 4,000 diners carries more weight than a 4.9 from a smaller base. Recency reflects how recently diners are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these sushi restaurants?

We started from sushi and Japanese restaurants in Dubai with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which Dubai sushi restaurant is the most affordable?

MaKiRa’s business lunch deal, at around AED 69 for ramen and a half roll, is the most affordable option reviewers report on this page, though it’s not always advertised.

Which restaurant offers unlimited BBQ or hotpot?

Both Kimuraya branches and Fujiya Downtown offer unlimited hotpot, Wagyu, or BBQ packages alongside their standard sushi menus.

The bottom line

Kimuraya Business Bay is the safe default given its enormous review base and range from sushi to unlimited hotpot, while MaKiRa is worth seeking out for the highest rating and its ramen. Book ahead for dinner service at any of these.
