Where to find the best sushi in Abu Dhabi comes up every other week: whether it’s the fail-safe favourites we keep going back too, some new up-and-comers that are curing those sushi cravings or some quick and easy neighbourhood spots that are reliably good time after time, there’s no shortage of great sushi options across the city.
From all-you-can-eat to a quick bite by the beach, we’ve done the hard work for you, so save this round up for your next sushi outing.
SUSHISAMBA
Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers
With ‘sushi’ literally in their name, you can walk into SUSHISAMBA expecting great things - and they really do deliver. Premium sushi in a glamorous setting is their MO, and they hit the nail on the head. Whether you’re enjoying a chill date night, partaking in their seasonal - and very popular - brunch or just fancy some excellent fresh sushi alongside your sundowners on the terrace, there’s no bad time to visit SUSHISAMBA. Alongside fresh sushi whipped up to order, you’ll find a fusion menu blending Japanese, Brazilian & Peruvian cuisine with stunning water views in one of the most iconic locales in Abu Dhabi - it ticks a lot of boxes!
Timing: daily | 6PM - 1AM

Cafe Sushi
Fairmont Bab Al Bahr
Always top of mind when we’re rating the best sushi in Abu Dhabi, Cafe Sushi at Fairmont Bab Al Bahr is hard to go past. Watch the chefs in action as they prepare sushi and sashimi right before your eyes at the sushi counter, with a huge variety of high quality a la carte sushi on the menu - alongside some tasty starters and some good options if not everyone in your party is feeling sushi (they do a nice katsu).
If you’re a sushi fanatic though, you can’t skip the unlimited sushi feast that’s available every day of the week. The ubiquitous conveyor belt adds a touch of excitement to your dining experience - is it just us, or is this half the fun? Tuck into a diverse array of fresh and 'conveyor-style' sushi during both lunch and dinner - you’ll be set no matter when those sushi cravings hit. Make a day - or night - of it, with the option to add on unlimited house beverages (red and white wine, spirits, and beer), and they offer a kids package for junior sushi fans! Take a seat indoors close to the action, or outdoors for a sushi celebration al fresco: all that’s left to do is enjoy!
Timing: 12-3PM & 7-11PM | lunch and dinner daily
Price: AED179 unlimited sushi | upgrade to unlimited house beverages AED150

Saisho Sushi Restaurant
Muroor
BB+ members enjoy 20% off a la carte menu. Not a member? Sign up here!
Not just a sushi house, this casual downtown Japanese restaurant has a menu filled with hearty ramen and rice bowls too. A go-to for the surrounding offices, it’s worth the drive if you’re a little further afield - the vibe is nice, the restaurant is cosy but spacious and the staff are really friendly. The sushi really is the main event though - it’s that good! Prepared fresh, there’s a huge range of maki and nigiri - and every plate has such attention to detail. They even have a vegan sushi selection - great for dietaries. If you’re a BB+ member, you score 20% off your bill (excluding promotions and the all-you-can-eat deal), as well as 20% off pickup and delivery.
Want to go all out? Bottomless sushi isn’t the only thing on the menu for Saisho’s all-you-can-eat menu: choose a starter, then pick from a bunch of tasty ramen or stir-fry noodle dishes, but make sure you save room for the main event: a gorgeous platter of sushi. The all you can eat deal is available from noon until 8PM Sunday to Thursday, and until 10PM on Friday and Saturday, so you can splurge on the weekend as well as mid-week. Kids under 5 dine free, and 6-8 year olds are half-price.
Open: daily | 11AM - 12AM (midnight)

NIRI Restaurant and Bar
Mamsha Al Saadiyat
Another perennial Abu Dhabi favourite, we love taking a seat at the counter at Niri to watch the sushi chef at work. If your timing is on point, you might see him working his magic on a giant salmon or tuna, wielding those knives like an extension of his own hands. If the weather is nice, nab a seat on the terrace and soak up those million dollar Mamsha views over Saadiyat Beach, and enjoy your sushi al fresco - there’s not a bad seat in the house at Niri.
As well as top notch sushi, Niri has a cracking business lunch, their regular menu is fab and their cocktails are both inventive and very well priced - making this a favourite spot among Abu Dhabi residents all year round. With that in mind, be sure to book ahead - especially on weekends and evenings - as it does fill up.
Timing: daily | 12PM - 11PM | until 12AM Friday & Saturday
